Rescue Efforts
Progress has been good, with many of the trapped citizens now rescued and parts of the city put to rights. There are only a couple of pockets of trapped people remaining, where it is proving difficult structurally to clear the tunnels. Even so, spirits are high; it’s believed they’ll be able to do so with the Voidtreckers’ assistance.
Work is still done in shifts and continues through the night. Voidtreckers are encouraged to rest after their shifts, and stagger themselves. It’s likely that there’s a mix of people awake and asleep as the sun rises on the third day.
Dawn Attack
Not long after dawn many of the Terran phones begin ringing with notifications and alarms, and there is a general wave of panic that spreads through the adult Terran. Followed by a rush of activity, as those asleep are quickly shaken awake to get ready.
It won’t take long, they’re told. There has been an attack. Not here, but in another segment of the city. Unknown forces, monstrosities of some kind coming down the service tunnels. Forces are holding them off but they need backup. Transport is quickly arranged and any Voidtreckers who wish to go and help can do so.
Transport is a train, one that is sourced incredibly quickly and filled with combat-ready Terran civilians. Not all go, since people are still needed to finish the rescue efforts and prepare for any attack in this sector.
Those that do go will find a battle raging between Terran and monsters. It may be that shortly after the Voidtreckers and their Terran friends turn up they will be joined by some more adventurous members of Orange Team who followed the monsters down the tunnels.
Days of Fighting
Throughout the next few days (G7-G11), fights spring up around the city. Though the first fight was against monsters from the lab, it seems others have found ways of getting into the tunnel system. The Terran are practical and quickly set up systems of transport for quick response. They don’t have much in the way of lights; their own decorative lights are soft, which will drive the creatures back from illuminated areas but be unable to destroy them.
They will happily accept as much help as the Voidtreckers can give. The fighting is lessened as the day goes on, as no new monsters enter the tunnels, but sunset brings fresh recruits.
For those who cannot or do not wish to fight there is plenty that needs doing. Centres are set up for the injured. Fighters need food and water. There are still collapsed tunnels that need repaired and cleaned up. The final trapped citizens need to be brought to safety. Children need to be watched and kept out of danger.
A Rumour
Talking of children, as the days go by the Terran teenagers get more and more agitated. A few times they can be seen trying to approach exhausted and stressed adults, mobile phones in their hands as they try and explain something.
They are quickly dismissed. If asked about it the teenagers will tell literally anyone who listens that they think the monsters are going after The Dweller. They will distractedly explain that it is some lifeform within the planet that ‘those Gry’ worship as a god.
‘Those Gry’ are their primary source of information, in fact, and most of their evidence seems to be coming from dream interpretation forums. Probably why they aren’t getting taken seriously by their stressed parents.

"I prefer the term 'providing maternal support,'" Glorfindel teased back with a grin and a wink. "Oh, a hundred and ten, hm? Is that all? I expected at least a hundred and twelve." He tsked and shook his head sadly for a moment.
"We could use a couple of dozen spotlights and for the monsters to stop attacking, but other than that..." he puffed out some air. "Got any of those healing potions left? The Terrans are taking the brunt of it and we're still pulling the trapped ones out." He could only be in one place at a time, unlike Danny.
no subject
"We're running low, that's why I'm over here, to help with some of the casualties. I've just come to check out the situation this way." ...plus, he's just one person. It's easier to use him for healing than the drinks just because he can rest up, but he still needs that resting portion.
"But my friend's come too, and she's a better healer than me. We just need to figure out a way of keeping these things down for good so we don't have to worry about them anymore."
no subject
"That makes sense," Glorfindel said. "A more renewable resource. Provided you give yourself a chance to recharge." Not everyone is a living solar battery, after all.
"That would really help. Hear anything topside, or are we all still in reaction mode?" He paused for a moment. "We are starting to hear rumors, passed from some Gry youths to the Terran youths, that the Burrower or Dweller might be a target? Or at least is in danger. You hear anything about that?"
no subject
"Not 'til I came down here. There isn't a lot up there 'cept the lab and a few underground tunnels the people here work in. And I have to get Spider to send me over to the Oranges." So, not a lot of people at all. "We're all just reacting far as I know. There's nothing new, except... it doesn't seem like you guys are worrying 'bout the fiends coming back. They're just coming from the outside?"
He asks it for confirmation, just to make sure.
no subject
He shook his head. "New ones come in every night, but we are able to mop them up during the day. They aren't forming up the balls here, underground, thank Iluvatar."
"We'll keep you apprised of the situation via the SCA when we know more. You'll do the same?" he asked. Not that he figured Tidus wouldn't keep them in the loop, but because it was polite to ask.
[ooc: Plus this is tag 9, one more and we can wrap and kill two bonuses with one stone, right? :D]
no subject
Info or healing, Tidus will do his best as he can. Though, he really feels like he's missing something obvious when it comes to actual details, but... They still all had a job to do.
[ ooc: sure! :) i asked about it on plurk actually! ]
