I stepped down to investigate, sent a few bugs in to get the lay of the land. The interior of the shelter was surprisingly like what Coil’s headquarters had been like, concrete walls with metal walkways and multiple levels.
Huh.
There were water coolers and a set of freezers, bathrooms and a sectioned off first aid area.
Seems like a nice enough place.
It was clear that one of the waves or Leviathan’s creation of that massive sinkhole in downtown had done some damage to the shelter.
Water was pouring in from a far wall and from the front door, and twenty or so people were in the first aid bay on cots, injured and bloody.
At least they’re still alive.
…
You know what I just realized? Even if Danny is alive and well, Taylor coming across him as Skitter could make for an interesting, emotional moment.
A team of about fifty or sixty people were moving sandbags to reduce the flow of water into the chamber from the cracked back wall. A second, smaller team was blocking off the room with the cots, piling sandbags in the doorway. In the main area, people stood nearly waist deep in water.
That’s a lot of people, but that’s good.
“Everyone out!” Laserdream called out.
That said, it’s worth knowing when to fold and evacuate the shelter to a different shelter.
