Modlen was desperately trying to tell the difference between friend or foe as her swarm of flies descended upon the chaos, but it was no use. She was too new. She couldn't tell who was simulated NPC, who was a classmate or even who among the NPC's were civilians. With a light push, she scattered the swarm and started to consider her other options. Maybe she could use a smaller swarm to distract attackers while she got her bearings? If anyone attacked her it would immediately tell her who the bad guys were. Unless they thought she was a looter too.

She started to feel completely overwhelmed. Her chest tightening, Modlen began to panic. What was she supposed to do? How was she supposed to help in this situation? If anything, she felt like she would only make things worse. With a flap of her wings, Moddy took to the sky. It was the safest place to be right now and it would allow her to collect her thoughts. Maybe a birds-eye view would give her a better perspective on things. At the very least flying tended to calm her dow-

The world went black.

She was confused. Had someone knocked her out? Oh god, how high up was she? Was she falling? Had somebody shot her? Was she dead? Did that mean she died in reality? No, that would be stupid, what school would kill its students in a sim? Unless there was a teacher who could resurrect her. She did recall seeing zombies in the fray at some point. But she didn't want to be a zombie, it was hard enough being who she was, she didn't want to be the daughter of Satan [i]and[/i] undead too!

Slowly, Modlen began to hear murmuring. Faint at first, but getting louder. Like she was hearing someone talk while wearing headphones. Realisation dawned on her. The simulation must have ended. Her cheeks burned with embarrassment and she hoped that no one had seen her start to freak out.
