[Early in the morning--perhaps one or two--there's a series of violent explosions that seem to originate in the residential elevator shaft. The elevator itself plummets--anyone unlucky enough to be inside is killed either by the explosion or the fall, although they won't be able to recall which due to apparent unconsciousness.

Jason sends this message not long after the explosions quiet down.]

WHAT have you lot done this time? Are you trying to crack the Tower in half? HOW did you even get explosives? Do you know what you've just DONE? This is going to be a mess. It's your own fault, but given I'm on babysitting duties, I'm going to do my best to fix this as quickly as possible. It'll still take a week or so, though.

Until then--well, maybe you should figure out which of your revolutionaries had THIS bright idea and give them a talking to, because pretty soon you're all going to find out what that explosion broke.

(There will be no NPC response to this post.)

We know that time away from it can reverse the effects. Thankfully, Riki has given us over a hundred floors to hide away in should it come to that.

[Zelda, Ruler and Arturia still have their gas masks from Aria as well, buuuut three masks for the entire Tower isn't exactly workable. Still, she does her best to ease his worries.]

Whether or not you think you can does not change the fact that you should. People look up to you, Enoch, and a clear head is the best thing you can give them. Believe me.

[She's learned a thing or two about this sort of thing.]

*Enoch nods. He knows, in theory at least. It's been a long time since he was a leader, exactly...*

...I'll try.

That is all anyone can ask.
