[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?

An outside meeting spot (under a rock outcropping some ways away from the base, so there's a bit of shelter from the 24/7 sun).

Did everyone make it?

Shuttle bay, Agri etc. Some personnel may be responsible for securing the shuttle and important materials. People will have to come through here to get outside. Remember to suit up!

Anyone still at work?

Bedrooms, rec rooms, mess hall, gym etc.

Don't leave patients behind!

... also please secure the Special Containment area.

The sudden siren and all the lights in engineering suddenly turning on woke Niou up from his light doze and he groaned, sticking a pillow over his face. Either the promised drill... or an actual evacuation.

He could hear the night shift workers going through the motions of shutting down the engineering labs, and he managed to get out of his loft, pulling on a sweater and shoes over his pyjamas. And then sat down

Evacuation involved all the lifts shutting down due to the emergency, and climbings the stairs from B3 was just not an option. If it was a drill, he supposed he could just fail.

And if it was an actual evacuation... Niou closed his eyes and let his mind wander through the various things that could have gone wrong with the base. Maybe he should have stayed in his loft.

Kintarou shot awake, well attuned to the sound of the evacuation alarm. In an instant, any tiredness was gone and he was INSTANTLY AWAKE. And he leaped out of bed to the other side of the room, shaking Tachibana awake. "Tachibana Tachibana!!! HURRY UP!!! We GOTTA GO!!!" He grabbed onto Tachibana's arm and tried to pull him off the bed. "Why are you SO SLOW??? It's not the right time to be a TURTLE!!!!"

Tachibana startled awake, staring wide-eyed at Kin-chan. "What's going on?" He mumbled, almost falling out of bed. "...We need to go?" The alarms going off finally registered. "Shit!" He stood up. "Okay. Yes, let's go."

Inui made his way quickly from the rooms to the labs, using his height to push his way through the evacuating residents on the stairs as he went in the opposite direction.

Secure the special containment area, check on his more volatile experiments that they wouldn't cause a meltdown, and then he could evacuate. Inui ran through the most likely causes of evacuation and estimated that he had likely, approximately 1 hour and 12 minutes until his life would be in peril. And if it was significantly shorter than that, then there was little hope anyway in terms of chances of successful evacuation.

1 hour and 11 minutes, he told himself as he entered the labs, turning on the lights and heading for his experiments.

!! Tachibana said a BAD WORD. "You can say bad words only because it's a bad situation," he said sternly, latching onto Tachibana's arm. And okay! Time to go! "Gotta grab IMPORTANT THINGS on the way out, okey??" Kintarou knew this, just in case everything got lost. He shoved some things off Tachibana's desk blindly into the other man's chest.

Tachibana stared at the items handed to him. The egg timer and his small satchel of spoons. He held them close before his stomach dropped. "I need to make sure Masaharu is okay!" He insisted.

Tezuka had finally gotten Licht to sleep and was about to settle into bed himself when he heard the siren blare out. He knew Licht wouldn't like the loud noise and immediately picked up his blanket to wrap her sleepy self in.
Licht whined in Tezuka's arms and looked up at him, now wide awake. He stroked her head and held her close. Poor baby.

"NO!!!" Kintarou grabbed harder onto Tachibana's arm. "You GOTTA GO!!! In an evacuation you GOTTA GET OUT!!!" He knew this! "And I gotta go help BYODOIN!!"

After making sure his roommate wasn't about to be left behind during the evacuation, Sanada quickly made his way to engineering where he suspected Niou would be. It didn't hurt to come down here and make sure all of the engineers were following the protocol for this particular evacuation signal and wrapping up final procedures before heading to the stairs.

Sanada greeted the engineers he saw and shouted out a few commands before marching up to Niou's door and giving it a firm knock. "Niou, time to evacuate." He had promised to carry him up the stairs to safety if it was ever required after all.

Kenya had been on night shift when the alarm went off. He immediately got into high alert and did a sweep of medbay, making sure everything that needed to be off was off before making sure all the patients could escape. Unfortunately, there was one unfortunate NPC with a broken leg. Knowing the elevators would be off, he got the patient on his back and started running for the shuttlebay.

Tachibana stood no chance of breaking out of Kintarou's hold. "You'll make sure he’s not stuck somewhere, right?" He knew he couldn't fight Kintarou like this. "Please."

Niou was scrolling through the messages on the communicator - oh ho ho, some late night conversations had been happening that he had to catch up on - and he looked up at the knock on his door. "It's fine, Sanada. I'm prepared to just die here from whatever calamity it is. Evacuate with the rest of them." He reclined back a little bit more in his chair.

Gakuto had been in Hiyoshi’s room when the alarm sounded and was immediately in evacuation mode. He knew Hiyoshi had a job to do, so he kissed him, threatened him with a second death if he died, and headed to the shuttlebay. After suiting up, he got to work helping to get everything secured.

Sanada frowned at the response. That was not what he had wanted to hear. But at least it seemed like Niou was alone and he wasn't about to walk in on anything unseemly.

Sanada used his override code to let himself into Niou's office, took one look at Niou and sighed. "This was not the plan we agreed on."

"This is not the Rapture, Sanada. I'm not being asked to climb stairs to heaven, it's just stairs up to the ground floor." Niou just looked amused. He glanced up and down Sanadda and his grin just widened. "And if it was us journeying up to our eternal life... that's a great outfit for it. I approve." The yukata with boots was a hilarious combination.

"Yes yes I will make sure he's OKAY!" Kintarou did a scan of their room one last time and then opened the door to haul Tachibana out of it. "Gotta get you to the shuttle first though!!"

Tachibana nodded and headed out, trying not to think about the millions of things that could go wrong. "I can make it myself." He really wanted Kin-chan to go check on everyone else.

"OKAY!!! Don't die okay, Tachibana??" Kintarou gave him a little push in the back to get him going towards the stairs and then hurried off to find Byodoin.

"If you trust me to carry you to whatever the Rapture is, then you trust me to carry you up a few flights of steps," Sanada said. He crossed his arms over his chest as Niou looked him over and tried to glare him down. It wasn't very effective on Niou but it would at least show him he wasn't impressed. "I was sleeping. And I'm not staying in this. We're changing into our nanosuits. We're going to make sure engineering is clear and then we're leaving. Together." He was not above dragging Niou out of engineering if he had to.

Tachibana watched Kin-chan go and then headed to the shuttlebay. Everything would be alright. It had to be.
