Swallowing down apprehension, Ziola hurried aboard the tram. Boarding this thing could well be suicide, but if they all stayed behind, their chances would be no better. Since there was no telling how fast it would go, she grabbed hold of a rail, bracing herself as she watched the countdown. Three. Two. One.

The tram juddered forward, instead of hurtling at full speed as she'd feared. Of course, now there was a new danger to worry about - every so often, the machine stopped altogether. What if it didn't start up again? Keeping her breathing steady despite the smell of rust, Ziola remained as outwardly calm as she could, although her fist clenched around the rail so tightly her knuckles turned white.

To her relief, after what felt like a much longer time than it likely was, a stuttering, static-filled message played out. They'd reached the medical bay after all. Not that the arrival was any smoother than the journey had been. The brakes slammed on at once, pitching everyone forward. Still clinging to the pole, Ziola stumbled a few steps, grunting as her shoulder seared. In front of her, Felix went flying into the front window hard enough to crack the glass.

[color=6A9FD4]"Felix!"[/color] She let go and rushed over to him, rolling her shoulder, which ached but didn't feel badly damaged. [color=6A9FD4]"Are you alright?"[/color] Her eyes flicked around the new, albeit lesser, chaos as people picked themselves up. [color=6A9FD4]"Is everyone alr-"[/color] She fell silent, staring as a large feline form scampered through the tram. Piercing the quiet with its shrieks, it leapt out of a broken window and... distorted itself? Before Ziola could get a good look at its limbs stretching like putty, the creature had vanished.

[color=6A9FD4]"Huh."[/color] She blinked a few times. While it was plausible that a cat could have snuck in before launch and lived on a diet of rat, the shifting was a tad bit harder to explain, other than by the possibility she could be hallucinating. Solitary confinement and a sudden life-or-death situation weren't the healthiest combination for the mind. [color=6A9FD4]"Did anyone else see that cat? Please tell me I wasn't the only one."[/color]
