Let's be war buddies...

[initiates]

Date & Time: 18th, beginning at 2100 hours, through to the 20th.
Location: All around Exsilium.
Characters: Everyone!
Summary: The United Earth decides Exsilium had obviously not learned its lesson back in October, and does another round of humble-making bombing for those impertinent exiles. OOC info can be found here.
Warnings: Violence, death, general gloom and doom.

The warning had gone out approximately two hours before the bombing began, broadcast to any available receptor on the island: UE aggressions incoming, bombs expected; please proceed to Catacombs immediately. It repeats over and over, right up until the first bomb, aimed at the Hold itself, silences the signal.

The air is thick with smoke and worse. Every one to two hours another bomb shakes the island. Buildings crumble and shatter, but the focus is on the Hold and the native hospital. Initiative employees, some sick as anyone else, are steadfast in their escorting natives and transports alike into the underground catacombs. For two days the bombs continue ceaselessly, dropped by their cloaked and invisible carriers overhead.

The United Earth is nothing if not thorough.

"It's always good to have a friend like that."

Jack says, mulishly, folding a hand over his knee as he turns to look at Oz's face. He figures Gil was still under his control, and so as long as he can leverage Oz-- The only irritating person to him currently is Kevin. Break, as he said, whatever. Jack shakes his head to rid himself of the thought, leaning back on a hand.

"Is he all right, though? Gil. That attack on us was nasty business."

Oz frowns at that. Gil's been sick since the mission to Alaska, or rather since before, had gone anyway and made things worse and is still paying for that. He's sure Gil hasn't been half as careful of his own health down here as he should either, instead fretting over Oz and others. Oz can try to make sure he takes care of himself, but under the circumstances there's really only so much he can do.

"He's still sick. It's not as bad as before, but..."
