Its dark, and moving through the debris on the road, and he stumbles yet again on the way to the light.

It’s a hard path, the black smoke continuing to choke Ed as he moved. Eventually, though, he makes it to the beacon. It’s a building, though the outside is hard to see, and the inside filled with blinding light. It seems to be coming from a hole in the floor, and it takes a minute to focus on it. When he does he sees he’s in some sort of fast-food restaurant, a place thoroughly deserted. A chunk of the floor seems to have been torn open, however.

He can see a long set of steps leading down, and catch a glimpse of what appear to be several large computer screens of the level below.

Conner rose shaking to his feet. It had been a long time since he'd seen action, and never in such a vulgar, physical way. Surveying the carnage, he fought down the urge to vomit and turned to the bartender. "Listen...Eric, man. I've got to go. This ****, man. It's...it's just too much. I know some people. They can help, maybe. And, anyway, they might need my help. This is all, you know. ****." He paused, not knowing what to do or what to say. There was a dead body on the floor of his bar. A body he had helped make. "Take care of yourself, man. I expect this place to be standing when we're through all of this. I have a feeling I'll need a hell of a stiff drink."

With that Conner went to the bouncer at the door. "Hey Mike, he gone?"

Assuming the answer is yes, Conner leaves the bar and heads north, after the military seeming code. Somebody has to know what started all of this, and they seem as good a possibility as any.

Mike nods affirmative, and Connor is let pass. There’s nobody outside now, just more sheets of dark rain. There area Conner is moving through is, at least, not a wreck. There are still people holed up, most business are closed but not raided yet. There are very few signs of life, however, besides the occasional glimpse of the law around these parts.

They aren’t what you’d think. Mostly it’s men on motorcycles, since the roadways are somewhat clogged. There are a few cars, though. They don’t look official, but there seem to be an awful lot of cars going in an awful lot of circles.

((Two things. First, make a Mind+Tactics roll. Second, if you want to keep moving without being seen, make a Body+Stealth))

ED
Ed Peers down the stairwell trying to get a glimpse of any movement or the source of the blackness.

Alexis

Keeping her hands up, Alexis fixed the leader with a stare that might have been a little intense.

"No supplies. I'm responding to reports of a riot on 21st. If you can make your way to South lake union, there is a refugee camp there. If it is possible, we will escort you back with us after we have accomplished our task."

Conner McDonnell

"Well this looks appropriately desolate," muttered Conner to himself, "Nothing to do except keep moving and stay out of the way." He flipped the collar of his jacket up and continued to head north through the rain.
