the veil is thin . . .

[ On the night of the 16th, the feeling of tension and horrid anticipation comes to a head. Everything stops when the sun goes down-- even the ever-present music in the hoppingest part of the city center. One by one, everyone turns their eyes to the skies. The young and old alike pour out of their houses, some in bare feet, and they point to the velvety blanket of stars.

It takes a second to find it, especially if one is unaccustomed to the starscape. But even a casual observer can see it.

A brightly-shining star, larger than the others, and growing larger.

An announcement cuts across all communication channels that encourages people to evacuate to the space station, but it’s clear that these are just people and they’ll need some help. Supplies, equipment, organization, there’s something for everyone to do.

Civilization is disrupted by a panicked stampede of people vying for limited seats aboard spacefaring craft. Within hours, there will be crushed glass, looting, and chaos.

The clock is ticking. Will you help? Or would you rather watch the dying gasps of a Singing Planet from a safe distance? ]

Fine, fine. Busy. Felix Gaeta and I have been assisting with logistics, communications, and calculations... I've carried out some minor shuttle repairs and things. [He absently touches a dark bruise on his jaw. Turns out he isn't so good at 'things.']

And you?

[ she looks at the bruise ]

That doesn't look great, Pavel. What happened?

Ah. I successfully stopped a fight between two Lyukians by giving them a common enemy. [A smile.] It's fine, the only true casualty is my confidence in my persuasive abilities.

Make sure to treat that when this is all over, okay?
candothat: ((´-`))

Yes, of course. [Maybe. Science-types will still have a lot they can do on the space station once the planet's been hit.]

You... ah. You intend to leave in time to avoid the meteor, correct?

[He frowns, hoping that her "yes, of course" does not have any maybes attached to it.]

I will hold you to that, Kara.

Then I will see you when this is over. Please take care.
