Onward: Orange
A Stormy Night
The night of day six of Grasshopper begins to get blustery, and rain begins to fall shortly after the sun sets. Just after midnight they are facing a full-on storm. It’s quite interesting to watch, for those who need a break from investigating. Especially up on the top floor, where the glass roof gives a good view; all the instruments are set up to monitor weather patterns and are operating perfectly, a fascinating watch for those interested in such things.
It’s a little noisy, but not too bad for those that want to sleep; it’s just another distraction along with the perpetual light. Still it is, for the most part, a peaceful night.
Lights OUT
Peaceful, that is, until about an hour before dawn on day seven, their third day on-world. A large clap of thunder booms overhead, a massive flash of light brightens even the sky around the station… and something hits the facility so hard that it seems to rock. The lights go out.
Every single light and screen in the building go dark at once.
It’s only a few moments before the machines whir back to life. Monitors and equipment rebooting, a cascade of beeps and whirrs and start-up tones. The lights, however, do not come back on. Clearly emergency lighting has never been a concern for a people that can see in the dark.
It’s a concern now. From across the facility, everywhere there was an orb, there are now monsters. A lot of monsters. Grey, long limbed and ready to attack.
Luckily for the Voidtreckers, the monsters on the very bottom floor have found something more interesting than hunting them. Within moments, they smash through the grates along the floor, and begin clambering downwards.
Downwards seems to be through some kind of service shaft, though easily big enough to fit a person in. They skitter down into the darkness, if any of Orange try and follow they can. It will be a steep, treacherous descent; they may need to break out that climbing gear to descend safely.
Something Approaches
Back in the facility, the monsters that didn’t descend are instead attacking anyone they find with mindless savagery. A little while after the attack starts those near the top floor will hear a siren, ringing out into the darkness. It is not constant, rather it peaks and fades. Anyone who goes to investigate will find it comes from a black metal machine on the top floor, its screen showing a now constantly flashing, wavy green line and the words SIGNAL FOUND. As time passes, the green wave on-screen grows taller.
Luckily, they only have to last the remaining hour until dawn and when the sunlight shines through the glass of the facility the monsters shatter. In their place rise familiar orbs. Any monsters on the sub-levels remain active whilst the facility is in darkness.
The alarm subsides during the day. The machine’s wave remains the same size, pulsing only occasionally. Once night falls on the third day (Grasshopper 7), it shrills, and the wave continues to grow.

Lights Out
All she had wanted to do was have a nice neat break, maybe a nice drink before continuing her search. Instead, she found herself in pitch darkness. Well, this wasn't good, not at all. In an instant and being thankful that they were in the dark meant she could change without anyone noticing.
At least she hoped that had been the case. Crystal in hand she raised it up and transformed using the phrase "Venus Crystal Power, Makeup ~!" And in an instant, she read ready.
"Is there anyone out there that need help." She called as she soon moved to attack a nearby monster before noticing a familiar face... at least one Minako would know. But Venus decided to play dumb for the time being.
"hey there, I assume you need help~? I can help fight them off. I have plenty of experience in that area."

"...let's find the others," he murmured, taking up his position behind her. There was another clattering sound to the left and he spun that way, lifting his wrist.
no subject
"That won'rt keep them down for too long, but lets go moving"
no subject
"Upstairs! I heard something."
no subject
"The stairs are this way right?"
no subject
He followed, flashing the light around corners and trying to avoid another ambush. "Do you hear anything?"
no subject
"In the distance, yes. So best to stay on guard since I think we need to go that way. Maybe...stand a little bit away from me just in case since if it attacks anyone it will be me first and I do not want anyone to get seriously hurt, got it?"
no subject
He was definitely not one to follow orders often, but he could in a crisis. He diligently swept the light beam along.
"...I have to say I've never seen you before, but the train population's getting big enough I don't recognize every face."
no subject
"I'm one of those who can keep to myself very easily. So you won't notice me all that much." She soon stopped. Something was close as her hands went to her belt.
Within a moment she unleashed an attack ahead towards women of the creatures.
"Lets keep moving. I think that might have been the only one there."
