[OPEN LOG] EMERGENCY DRILL

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?

There was one jump where Kintarou missed his grab of the handrail and they dropped until he caught them by his fingertips on the stairs. "You're HEAVIER THAN KENYA!" was all Kintarou said as he managed to pull them up by his fingertips alone. And then off he went, jumping to the next level for a much cleaner grab.

"You don't think the blaring sirens wouldn't wake you up?" Sanada asked as he stood up. He took a second to get used to the weight on his back and shifted his grip on Niou's thighs before heading up the steps. He glanced up at the continued noise from Kintarou and those around him and decided to just ignore that and focus on climbing. It wasn't going to be the most fun walk up but he'd just tell himself it was his workout for the day and push through it.

"ɪᴍ ɢᴏɴɴᴀ ᴅɪᴇ ɪ'ᴍ ɢᴏɴɴᴀ ᴅɪᴇ ᴏʜ ᴍʏ ɢᴏᴅ ɪ'ᴍ ɢᴏɴɴᴀ ᴅɪᴇ." The nanosuits might be protecting Kintarou from Marui's fingernails cutting through his skin, but you better believe there will be bruises.

"I'm just making sure all possiblities are covered." Niou twitched at the hands on his legs and god this was so awkward. He sighed and enjoyed the steady "step step step" of Sanada climbing up the stairs instead. "I'll have to talk to the others to figure out what to do in the case of you not being available," he said, as way of casual conversation to make this whole thing less weird (maybe). "I'd so hate for you to deal with the guilt of having not been around and therefore responsible for my perishing in a failing colony."

"Why would I not be available?" Sanada asked as he continued his steady pace up the steps. Even if they were somewhere else, they should head to engineering to make sure it's secure before evacuating. And in most cases they'd probably be needed to fix whatever was going wrong to stop it from getting worse.

Zaizen watched Kintarou ascend with his dear boyfriend stuck to his back like a terrified koala. Huh, this was a little nerve wracking. If Bunta didn't fall off and die he'd have to hug him at the top of the stairs.

Mizuki flailed a little as he was suddenly handed a furry lump, almost dropping his loudhailer. Just as suddenly, the puppy was taken away again, and Byodoin's voice blared over the PA system, followed by Tooyama's excited screaming. Too much excitement for 2am, honestly.

"Houou-san, Tooyama-kun, no need to shout," said Mizuki, wincing a little. "Tezuka-san can hear you! He's not going to go back, right?" He looked expectantly at Tezuka.

"And Tooyama-kun will see that he's safely evacuated!" Mizuki waved them along. "Please do get going! You're holding up traffic!"

"Akaya-kun," Yanagi greeted, while trying to shimmy into his nanosuit. "Good job for getting up here. I'm not 100% sure if it's a drill, but it pays to be cautious." He nodded to the monitors. "Can you see if anyone's stuck or not evacuating? Coordinate with Security. You might have to go ou there if they're all occupied."

Byodoin chuckled over the intercom. "Roger that, babe. Keep up the good work!"

It was a long, long time before Gakuto saw Hiyoshi again. Hours, actually, but as soon as he had a free moment, Hiyoshi came and found Gakuto.

"Told you I wouldn't die."

Ibu had stayed up late, unintentionally, working on edits to the next portion of his documentary when the alarm sounded. Quickly hitting save, he collected the two SD cards that had all the footage as well as a small GoPro EX to record.

He ran through the SOP in his head on what to do: put on nanosuit, calmly leave the area, close any doors behind you, make your way swiftly yet carefully to the nearest stairwell, and finally proceed orderly to the assembly area. Okay, time for the nanosuit.

Yagyuu had been in a deep, dreamless sleep when an alarm sounded. Annoying, but not wholly unexpected. He reached to the bedside table and grabbed his glasses, putting them on before he got out of bed. This would have been better if he'd been working the night shift--at least then he'd have already been awake and not losing out on sleep.

He grabbed his comms device and checked the procedures for evacuation, almost laughing at the mentions to remain calm. That rarely happened in an emergency. Yagyuu closed the procedures and put on his nanosuit. Inui wasn't there, so he hoped the man was already on his way to the safety area.

"Marilyn..." Tezuka mumbled, trailing off as he was dragged away by Tooyama. They weren't wrong, it was an emergency...but poor Marilyn...he would never forgive himself if something happened to his lovely bonsai.

Gakuto grinned. "I knew you wouldn't. You're good at your job." He was braiding his hair in preparation for putting on his helmet. "Any issues?"

"A few people who thought their possessions were more important than their lives, but it was taken care of. Over all it went smoothly." It was more fun with people causing problems anyway. "It must have been a lot of waiting on your end."

"Yeah, but that's okay." Gakuto said. "I just want to make sure everything is secured...what do you think is going to happen, now?"

"They're running the final security checks and the base diagnostics now. When that's complete, a team will be sent in to deal with whatever they find. Once it's fixed, there's more checks and then hopefully we can return." Hiyoshi was completely unworried. They knew what they were doing here, everything would be fine. "For us it means waiting around at the emergency check point. Worst case scenario, we'll be shuttled to the space station."

"Do you think we'll have to leave?" Gakuto asked softly. "....haven't even been here a year, yet..."

"They won't give up on this colony that easily. It's taken too much time and money to get to this point. But if it does, I'll meet you on Earth." Hiyoshi smooched Gakuto's forehead. You're not getting rid of him that easily.

Gakuto smiled softly. "Okay." Knowing that eased any tension Gakuto had in the pit of his stomache. "It's about time to head off, yeah?"

"Almost. I should check back in with security. I'll see you soon." And with a ruffle of Gakuto's hair, Hiyoshi heads off.

Yanagi had changed into his nanosuit, secured Command, delegated tasks (especially for Kirihara), and was now on his way to the assembly area, busily typing on his communicator all the while. Distracted, he bumped into someone in the corridor.

"Excuse me," he apologised, then saw it was Shinji. "Shinji-san, hello."

Mizuki was done telling people what to do on B2 and was now telling people what to do on the stairs to the ground level. He'd found a recessed area so he wouldn't be in the way, and was calling out (somewhat useless) reminders over a loudhailer.

"Proceed in an orderly manner! Make sure you have your nanosuit and helmet..."

Kenya had remembered to get him and his patient into their nanosuits and helmets, so when he spotted Mizuki, he let down the visor so Mizuki could see who he was. "Mizuki-san! Could you possibly let someone know I have an injured patient coming up to the shuttle?"

"Mr. Oshitari!" Mizuki was very concerned that Kenya had an invalid on his back. "Of course, I'll get you priority! Do you need any help?"
