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? ]

You know, maybe you're right. They just needed a different touch.

[You're the best, Looma. ]

Yeah, even if it's just a little while, it's enough to herd them somewhere away from each other. So they can't fight each other so much.

Of course!

[Ugh, well intentioned or not she's going to be feeling guilt over this deception for the next several hours at least.]

Would it be too much if I were to ask you to kindly check with the local authorities when the next evacuation shuttle is expected to return? I will do what I can to maintain order in your absence, of course!

[Or, more accurately, ensure that no one in the landing area dares breathe a word to him over what really calmed them down.]

[And off he goooooes~]
