Havenmount was a flurry of activity. # change name to havensmount c'mon it's way better
|
|
Nikki wasn't quite able to find June, and the Guard presence was giving her shit about actually figuring out where the hell she was.
|
|
|
|
―Ma'am, I can't let you leave your office.
|
|
It's a security threat.
|
|
We're still trying to figure out what the hell is happening, Lieutenant Ward said.
|
|
|
|
Which Nikki found a bit much.
|
|
She was, if anything, one of the people actually doing that figuring out, and the surly lieutenant was actively hindering her ability to do so.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tammy walked over, phone in hand. # named after the tamaraw or mindoro dwarf buffalo # also are there phones in this universe?
|
|
―I got Justice on the phone.
|
|
|
|
Nikki nodded, and gestured to continue.
|
|
|
|
―Undersecretary Carrob, Tammy said, I'm putting you on speaker. # Carabo. I'm on a philippines kick naming wise apparently.
|
|
We have the Chief Executive on the phone.
|
|
|
|
She clicked the button.
|
|
|
|
―This is Nikki.
|
|
Carrob, what's going on?
|
|
They have us locked down here.
|
|
|
|
―What's going on, Nikki, is that everything's fucked.
|
|
The New Meadowlark are attacking the Garrison.
|
|
There was fighting on the East Bridge, but it's moving fast.
|
|
They're in the Garrison building itself.
|
|
|
|
―Where's Darius?
|
|
And June?
|
|
|
|
―No word on him, he'd have been in the Garrison.
|
|
June was in an Assembly committee meeting, and is presumably stuck without a phone at the moment.
|
|
|
|
The Undersecretary from Justice had little else to add, and Nikki was forced to sit for a few minutes before a Guard came to tell the lieutenant that Nikki was no longer stuck in a completely safe office with the situation clear.
|
|
Nikki resisted the urge to sprint down the hall on her way to Calvin's office for a few seconds before taking off and immediately running into him anyway.
|
|
|
|
―Nikki, I was on the way.
|
|
|
|
# delete all this. Nikki heard it first from a messenger yak sent from the east side. # this is actually a garbage beginning but fix it later
|
|
Another emergency conference with Calvin and Vaughan, which was now becoming an unfortunately common occurrence of late.
|
|
She sent the message to pull him out of whatever he was doing.
|
|
|
|
The messenger, Bryn, was wearing a New Meadowlark black cap, and fidgeted with a nervous energy.
|
|
Captain Adrienne had personally escorted her in.
|
|
Calvin entered the conference room, having cut short a meeting with the Health Secretary Hadard. # stupid name.
|
|
|
|
―Nikki, what's going on?
|
|
|
|
―This is Bryn, from the New Meadowlark.
