Maybe we meet halfway and have a shouting match.

Kanna eventually stops moving and her hand over Chu's wrist slips free. Although her eyes are still open, it's clear to all that she has passed away. Over the next hour or so, the sandstorm will settle. There will be no tower in sight and no obvious pursuers. Everyone within the Kyoshi is safe. End Chapter One. |

The Kyoshi has successfully escaped into the storm. Despite being buffeted by strong winds and sand and despite the hole that has been punched into the exterior, the vehicle is holding up well to punishment. All instruments within are working as intended, including the optical system allowing visual through the shuttered windows and the hidden 'boost' system which has increased the speed of the Kyoshi well beyond its normal limit. The engine seems to be straining. Sand is also pouring in from outside through the hole. Outside, visibility is poor. Sand moves in thick, dense clouds that dance around the Kyoshi in a chaos that is both unpredictable and violent. There is nothing all around but sand and dust and sun light filtered a deep red. Every now and again, a flash of light will illuminate a part of the surrounding storm and the sound of thunder barely audible over roaring winds will fill the Kyoshi. Additionally, a well placed shot has seen to Kanna being seriously wounded. It's fatal, and what with the way her eyes widen, it's obvious she knows it as well. She tries covering the hole with her hand but blood continues to pour through her fingers, staining her borrowed clothing and beginning to pool on the bed of the Kyoshi beneath her. Her breathing is also drowned in blood as every lungful of air bubbles to her lips in crimson. This next posting round will allow closing thoughts on what has just transpired as well as any final banter between characters for this chapter. |

Team TLA: At this time, the Kyoshi has departed as did Tikaani's vehicle behind them. Both vehicles are making a break for the sandstorm. The vehicle that was ahead of them has been destroyed and it looks as though the thing that tore them apart is currently headed for the Kyoshi next. Team LSF: Thanks to the efforts of Chae-Won, a thick curtain of dust has been created in path of the tornado from the dirt that has been kicked up. Visibility is difficult for the two LSF on the ground, less so for Katakuri, but not so for those in the tower. However, the tornado is headed in that direction and looks to be on a collision course. Chae is currently too obscured by dust and sand to be visible. To those in the tower, it looked as though a streak of lightning hit the Firefly. The approaching tornado makes it difficult to see exactly where the streak came from, but Yi has crash landed and the gun in the sky is now unavailable. He is also not responding to comms. At the moment, no one seems to be converging on the crash site and are instead, still focused on escaping. So far, two cars are retreating into the desert, one has been disabled and its driver has been killed, and the last one is trying to leave but the sheer amount of people surrounding it is making it difficult. Those inside have started retaliating in an attempt to clear a path and escape. People are getting shot at and killed and others are bending at each other instead of at the LSF. For a moment, the truck lurches forward a few feet as if someone forcefully stepped on the gas. Some standing in front of it fall under the chassis. Others continue to pile on top like ants. |
