So Familiar a Gleam: Conclusion

Time to leave!

There is not much of the city left, but the park is holding together as those anchoring help those who are not voidtreckers through back to where they belong. Monsters continue to attack and a little further out there is a battle of hearts and minds being fought with the mass of colours and chaos.

Eventually, after the bulk of citizens had been evacuated everyone with SCA's on would hear Jin-Roh's voice after a few frantic beeps, as Chiff aligned everyone's SCA's. "We are almost done here, if you are with anyone not tethered to a voidcraft get them to the evacuation point, as quickly as possible."

Anan pulls out of the anchoring point to call out to any defenders in the park. "Come on! Anyone who isn't a voidtrecker! It's time to go."

Luckily those off fighting the entity headed the message and made their way to the park as Jin Roh spoke again.

"Everyone else get ready. When we call it you need to leave. If you don't have your SCA on then get to someone who does."

As the last people rushed to the park Anan calls out again, through her SCA and outloud to the park. "You need to unanchor, before you can evacuate. Everyone be ready."

She goes in again though, because there are some last people, those from the large battle, getting through as another message was called.

"Almost there. Be ready. On my command..."

Anan unanchored again. "Quick everyone unanchor."

"NOW" Jin Roh's voice came through strong on their SCA's. Hopefully those with SCA's would grab those without.

There is some outside help as well, the train pulls anyone who is unconscious or still under the entity's control, forcibly evacuating them. This includes Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji and Zagreus.

Luggage Carriage

There has been a mass evacuation before and that was crazy enough but since then the population of the train has almost doubled and now it is an extremely tight squeeze as everyone crashes into the luggage carriage at the same time.

The train jerks and rolls as they enter into the void at breakneck speed and again as they seem to slow, rather than speeding off though the void.

There's a crackling from their SCA's. "Voidtreckers? Voidtreckers come in!" Anan's voice. "Please tell me you made it..."

There's only a few moments of signal and soon they are flying though the void again, away from the strange non-world, the entity sealed for now. To new adventures, but first hopefully some time to recover from all that has happened.

"I think it's easier to predict what it'll show us that we fear." She fears her family coming to harm. She fears the rebellion's failure. She fears Thrawn doing any number of things.

She might have some blind spots about hope.

"Yes." He nodded, "Some people don't even know what they really hope for." Hope is hard.

Fear is easier. As sad as that thought was.

"I know what I want for the galaxy. I try not to think too much about it on a personal level. Illusions disagree." She's going to have to face that she does actually know and denial can only take her so far.

He bowed his head. "Yes. They were difficult."

They had a way of getting into their heads, pulling out thoughts that hadn't even been fully realised and using them against them.

"They did it to you too?" She's not glad that anyone else has to sort through this sort of thing. But she does feel a little less strange about the hopes being a challenge.

He nodded. "I don't know anyone who was unaffected."

Except those lucky enough not to be on the mission at all.

"At least it means we can all muddle through together." THat might be all of them can really ask for in this mess. The ones that didn't come would have reaosns of their own.

He nodded. It was true, they had all been affected and so they could move past it together.

They were at the kitchen now so he nodded it. "I guess... Getting food is the first step."

Making sure everyone could eat.

"Sometimes we have to start with the simple problems. Everything else seems worse on an empty stomach." Just because she doesn't cook doesn't mean she wants her people going hungry, after all.

He nodded. It was true. Sometimes you just had to start with the simple things, and then tackle everything else.

He followed her into the kitchen, this was a place to start. A step on the road to recovery.
