Karen was fighting off panic. She had been working her way back to Eden when the announcement came. Suddenly, people were pouring out of buildings a turning into a tumultuous tide of frightened bodies. Having very little idea of how to get to her room, Karen's first action was to get out of the main flow, and second was to pull out her PDA so NO4H could show her the way. There was a delay she wasn't used to, as countless other people also pulled out devices for info, be it about what was outside or how to get to these new rooms they had yet to visit after boarding today. Karen began the journey of stumbles, but managed to avoid falling while working her way through the tide.

But then her PDA went dark. Not quite literally, but it was no longer showing her route or a map. The same went for everyone else. Their signals were either gone or being ignored, and nobody knew what to do or where to go. The tide slowed as people began pleading security agents to help find their rooms and those who had investigated outside couldn't help jumping to conclusions that Karen overheard.

"Did they hit us?"
"Are we under cyber-attack?"
"Did the Destroyer take out the bridge?"

Karen didn't want to think about those things, and it wasn't her job. Instead, she did everything in her power to not panic, and otherwise went with the general flow of people headed out towards the living spaces. Once there, she figured in her half-dazed state, she'd be near to her room, right?
