[OPEN LOG] EMERGENCY DRILL

[cdr_ryuuzaki]

It is 0200 UTC. A loud wailing emergency siren pierces the quiet of the sleeping base, waking you up instantly (or not). In your bleary-eyed state you realize this is the evacuation signal you’ve all been trained to recognise. Time to go!

Notes:
- Only dept heads were told about the drill, but they only knew that it would be held, not when
- The only ones who know the full picture are Byodoin and CDR Ryuuzaki
- Everyone has gone through the safety training and ideally knows to evacuate to the designated outdoor location… right?

Yanagi woke up with a sigh as the siren went off. He'd extrapolated that some kind of drill would be taking place, but did not have enough data as to when and what kind. Of course, there was the slim possibility it was an actual emergency... He accessed his communicator, grabbed his nanosuit and hurriedly made his way to Command in his yukata and fuzzy slippers to start coordinating the evacuation efforts.

"Please proceed in an orderly manner... Do not take the elevators ... put on your nanosuits..."

Everyone probably heard him before they saw him, but Mizuki was right outside the residential area with his loudhailer, attempting to do his job ... not that anyone was actually paying attention.

He caught sight of Tezuka and added, "... put all pets into carriers or harnesses!"

[byodoin]

Byodoin sat back to watch the camera feed on his communicator with interest, scrolling through the different feeds to check how everyone was doing on their part of the evacuation.

Some people where definitely doing better than others.

[toastzuka]

Hm? Tezuka heard Mizuki's voice directed at him...and proceeded to trod over with a half asleep puppy in his arms.
"Hello Mizuki-san. Please hold Licht so that I can wrap her up in a harness." he asked – no, stated – and proceeded to shove her into the safety consultant's arms. He then wrapped the blanket in a criss-cross way before taking his puppy back and tying her up in the make-do swaddle. "Thank you, hope you can help others out as well."
Tezuka then proceeded to go back to his room to rescue his Marilyn, reprimanding himself in his head.

Yawning, Kirihara walked into the Command office a few steps behind Yanagi. No one had ever actually gone over what he should do in an evacuation drill. In previous places, it'd always been to evacuate quickly and wait for further orders. With the move to Command though, Kirihara figured he should probably check in to make sure there wasn't some sort of important duty he had to actually do. Besides, Command was on the way out of here anyways...

"Is this real or a drill?" Kirihara asked.

Shishido woke quickly when the alarm started going off. His first reaction was the groan. The first night in several days when he wasn't on nightshift and actually had a chance to sleep? And he gets woken up by the evacuation alarm. Grabbing the jacket that was sitting on the back of his desk chair, Shishido left his room and headed the wrong way. He knew he was supposed to follow the crowd and go to the shuttle bay. However he also equally knew there was a very strong chance Jirou would sleep through this whole thing. So Shishido headed over to Jirou's room in an attempt to make sure his friend made it out safely.

Re: B2 – RESIDENTIAL

[byodoin]

"What the blasted hells are you doing, Tezuka!?!?" Byodoin blared over the loudspeaker. "Listen to my fucking boyfriend and evacuate in an orderly fashion! No going back to your room! I've met rocks more competent than you!"

Byodoin could see all.

Zaizen had been napping in Kenya's room, just chilling and waiting for his husband to get off work, when the alarms went off.

Well fuck, that wasn't good.

Zaizen wiggled into his (Kenya's, actually) nanosuit and hesitated for a moment before putting a harness on the iguana as well, hefting her large body up and taking her along as he headed for the stairs, because Kenya would no doubt worry about his pet.

Re: B2 – RESIDENTIAL

[akutagawa_j]

Yup, Jirou was asleep. Sound asleep, and dead to the world. The blaring sirens weren't enough to wake him up.

It sure was lucky for him that Shishido was there to look out for him.

Re: B2 – RESIDENTIAL

[shishido0929]

If it were another time or another situation, Shishido would have knocked first. Shishido could see Jirou's roommate down the hallway though, helping direct people. So Shishido took advantage of the fact that Jirou had programmed his door to just let Shishido in. Sure that'd been months ago but it was definitely coming in handy now.

And of course, there was Jirou still sound asleep in bed.

"Come on," Shishido said, looping an arm around Jirou to drag the guy to the evacuation area. If he got lucky, Jirou might even wake up a little.

Byodoin had warned them about scientists and their skewed priorities, and he hadn't been wrong. Hiyoshi had been tasked with checking that areas were clear and properly evacuated, and he was just finishing his sweep of B3 when he was alerted by radio of someone entering the science labs instead of exiting.

Well, he'd see about that. Hiyoshi was on Inui's trail in a flash, and he announced himself the moment the other man was in sight, closing the distance as he spoke. "Sir, the base is evacuating. Leave your things and come with me."

Re: B3 – Labs, Med Bay, and storage

[dr_inui]

Ah, he had not factored in the possibility of security trying to chase him out as he monitored the time. "I will be following you in ... 14 minutes, Petty Officer Hiyoshi," Inui said, going to turn off some of the machines that he could safely do so. "Given the volatile nature of some of these experiments, it would be unfortunate if the lab's power shut off or the ventilation failed." And if it was a drill, then at least he knew he had done the correct things. "If you wish to be helpful, please go secure the special containment area. We wouldn't want the live specimens in there to get loose."

Re: B3 – Labs, Med Bay, and storage

[spaceninja144]

Hiyoshi didn't know anything about the nature of Inui's experiments, and he didn't need to. Scientists always thought their experiments were more important than they really were. Hiyoshi's job was to ensure everyone was evacuated safely, and you better believe he was going to see it through.

"All necessary machinery is hooked up to backup power, and the special containment area has been secured remotely. Please come with me, I have been authorized to use force if you do not comply."

He was within a meter or two of Inui now-- close enough to engage Inui if that was the route he chose.

Re: B3 – Labs, Med Bay, and storage

[dr_inui]

"And I will comply, in... 13 minutes," Inui said easily, swirling the solution in the round bottomed flask quickly. "I advise you not to use physical force suddenly on me, Petty Officer," he said, glancing at Hiyoshi again. "There are a number of chemicals here that will react with the metals in the lab in a highly explosive manner. Which would significantly shorten the time frame the base has to get to safety."

Ah, he needed to grab his notebooks from his office as well on the way out.

Re: B3 – Labs, Med Bay, and storage

[spaceninja144]

"Thank you for the warning." But it wasn't going to slow Hiyoshi down. Hiyoshi would try not to break anything on purpose of course, but anything chemical Hiyoshi had to be aware of was one Inui had to be aware of too, so without the scare aspect they were still on even footing.

Hiyoshi reached to grab Inui's wrist-- with luck, the man would give in once Hiyoshi called his bluff.

Re: B3 – Labs, Med Bay, and storage

[chickens]

"It's the end of the world, kind of," Niou said in half-hearted explanation. And then sighed, pushing himself up out of the chair. "Yeah okay, fine, let's evacuate." He grabbed his emergency nanosuit from his office and then stared at Sanada. "Go get changed in your own space, I'm not getting naked in front of you. And then we can do a sweep of engineering and you can victoriously carry me up the stairs the evacuation point."

Re: B3 – Labs, Med Bay, and storage

[dr_inui]

Inui paused, looking down at Hiyoshi's hand on his wrist, his swirling of the chemicals stopping. "Remove your hand from my person immediately," he said with a frown. There was no bluff at all, Hiyoshi, that had been Inui being casually informative. "You are not a trained chemist and are lacking in appropriate PPE." Thankfully Inui's glasses were specially designed to double as lab-appropriate glasses.

Re: B2 – RESIDENTIAL

[kin_chan]

Kintarou was being HELPFUL and helping people evacuate as quickly as possible. And he heard Byodoin's voice over the loud speaker, which he counted as basically getting an order, heading straight for Tezuka. "YOU GOTTA GO!!!" he shouted, grabbing onto Tezuka's arm before he could go back into his room. "You can't ever GO BACK when you have to go out!! THAT'S HOW YOU GET HURT!!" he hauled Tezuka along with him to get to the stairs. Sorry Marilyn.

Re: B3 – Labs, Med Bay, and storage

[spaceninja144]

"That wont be a problem, I'll be leaving shortly." Along with Inui, one way or another. Inui got one final warning-- "Place the flask down," --before Hiyoshi twisted Inui's arm behind his back into a compliance lock.

Re: B3 – Labs, Med Bay, and storage

[dr_inui]

Inui was just deeply unimpressed by this whole thing. "I can't put the flask safely down without both hands free, it needs to be clamped into place" he said, shifting slightly to test the strength of the hold - very impressive, Hiyoshi Wakashi, Inui noted it down in his mental file of Hiyoshi. "Let go."

Re: B3 – Labs, Med Bay, and storage

[spaceninja144]

The feeling was mutual, Inui. "You can bring it with you, then." Hiyoshi wasn't letting go just so Inui could make a break for it. No, he was pushing Inui in the direction of the exit, giving his arm a painful tweak whenever a little extra persuasion was necessary.

Re: B3 – Labs, Med Bay, and storage

[dr_inui]

"No! It is a heat and UV sensitive compound! It will deteriorate if we take it outside!" Inui did hold his ground at that point, refusing the move even as his arm was twisted. "It is stable in its current state. If it deteriorates, I will have to start the synthesis from the beginning and it will put my research back 8 weeks."

Re: B3 – Labs, Med Bay, and storage

[spaceninja144]

Ugh, scientists. Hiyoshi couldn't care less about Inui's work being set back, but the fact that Inui was holding his ground despite what Hiyoshi knew was not an insignificant amount of pain, meant that this was clearly important to Inui and he was likely to put up a fight if he didn't get his way. In this situation, it would be faster to let him have his way and put the flask down... if he could trust Inui to do that and only that.

"I am going to let you go so you can put the flask down safely, and then we're both going to evacuate without any other delays. Understood?" With that, Hiyoshi let go and stepped back. If Inui didn't comply after this, he'd just have to knock him out.

Re: B3 – Labs, Med Bay, and storage

[sanada_g]

Sanada gave an annoyed huff, like he was going to change with Niou anyway. His suit was still in his office anyway. "After you're changed, sweep your designated area, I'll do mine, and we'll meet in the main lab." They could confirm everything was set in the right mode and then head up the stairs. Sanada hated the thought of being the last one up in an evacuation but being an acting co-department-head meant that they had expectations to secure their area.

Giving Niou a final look to make sure he really was going to change and do the sweep and not just give up and wait for death again, he headed to his office to get changed.

Re: B3 – Labs, Med Bay, and storage

[chickens]

"Yeah okay." And with Sanada on alert about the whole thing, it wasn't like he could just get away with embracing his fate again. Niou sighed and went over to his blindspot corner to change and he was sure that if anyone was looking at the camera would see the occasional limb poking out from it.

Reluctantly suited up (and with a coat on top for decency), Niou snatched up his tablet and swept through one half of engineering, sticking his head into all the spaces to see if anyone was in there. Thankfully empty." He headed to the main lab to wait for Sanada.
