System Crash

[legionnpcs]

[After Brainy and Babbage disappear, cameras start broadcasting from where they were taken to. The entire encounter is shown to the team and the rest of the UP. When Earth is taken through the portal, Legion World lurches, and at the end of it all, when the traps are tripped, it lurches again. Lights all over the ship go out, fires starts, systems fail. Only lockdown procedures that Brainy himself put in place, to protect Legion World’s most vital systems if he were ever compromised by telepathy or other influences, keep the viruses from self-destructing the ship or turning off life support -- but they’re certainly trying to.]

[The network goes back up again fairly quickly, however, but it’s using a much older, inferior form of networking. Something a little more distance-based and analog, a little less hackable.]

[They’ll be able to communicate again, but there’s a lot of interference. Sometimes the video goes out during video calls and sometimes audio cracks up. Text seems to be the only form of communication that’s guaranteed to go through every time.]

[ooc: People can react and start planning things on this post. This is also where information about the Spectre's attack will get dropped.]

[The crash is loud enough that Tadashi almost loses his 'grip' on the fire -- it stutters and roars, but he manages to seize it before it pours into the opening the Rex had torn into the Mess Hall. At least it manages to shake the look of glazed terror from his eyes.]

Oh-okay. Tell them to hurry!

[Evacuating people past a surprise T-Rex is probably going to be difficult, but he's not sure how long he can hold the fire back.]

[Claire runs in and starts trying to direct people out. It takes a moment, because she is standing underneath a very imposing looking dinosaur (and let's be honest, Claire isn't exactly someone you'd want training your Golden Retriever let alone leave in charge of a massive carnivore). Rexy does, however, back down when Claire motions to her to back down.]

[Once that's established, sentients trapped there seem a lot more willing to dart past Rexy in order to get out into the hallway and past the fire. Tailing them is Claire - yes, running flawlessly in heels - and lumbering behind her is Rexy.]

[Tadashi has a friend back home who'd probably love to chat about running in heels, but he's currently a little too focused on the fire to notice anything but the movement.]

Everyone out?

Yes, everyone out.

[Although she does stop to look back and - yes. Looks empty. Then Rexy puts her head down and noses Claire further into the hallway. Claire yelps in surprise and runs a couple more steps to be closer to Tadashi.]

Where to next? [She will just not mention how she's still kind of freaked out by her own power here.]
