Calamity city

[Philulhu]

The lack of people was unnerving. Ota unslung his rifle, quietly checking the load and that the safety was off. With his weapon ready, he walked to the main entrance to scan the town beyond.

[kabukiman]

Ota looks at the town. He sees several broken windows and doors opened.

[Philulhu]

His eyes peeled for trouble, Ota moved out of the station, closing the gap to the town. He tried to judge how recent the damage was, whether it was fresh or if it appeared to be older.

[Dave Syrinx]

Hiroto spots Ota coming out of the station building and walks towards him.

[Philulhu]

Ota’s eyes flicked in Hiroto’s direction as he approached. ”You see any sign of life?” he said abruptly.

He didn’t wait for the man to answer before he was looking in the direction of the town again.

[Mr. Handy]

"Why is this place called Calamity City?" Mary wonders aloud. "Has something like this happened in this city's history before? Maybe we should check the archives."

[Snapper]

You have the first 2; you have just 3 cameras, one to the outside of the station on the trains side (east), another to the waiting room and another to the outside station on the city side (west).

Rourke:

Rourke attempts to use the computer to send a short, urgent notification to the Starport that everyone in this town has disappeared, apparently as a result of something unknown attacking them. He requests help be sent.

Then he will a attempt to print out a map of the town.

Finally, Rourke double checks the three CCTV cameras that are available to make sure there's nothing odd or dangerous.

[kabukiman]

Someone answers you from the starport:
"What do you mean everyone disapeared? And who are you? I'm gonna ask of of my supervisors what to do."

[Snapper]

Rourke:

"While you're at it, pass the message on to my captain, Mac Malcolm. And get some help to us!"

[kabukiman]

"Who is captain Malcom? Is he from the military? Are you from the army? I'l give that information to my chief."

You get a map of the town and the images of the camera show only Hiroto and Ota and nobody else.

[Snapper]

Rourke:

Rourke sighs. "You do that. Captain Malcolm, ship's captain."

Collecting the map, he heads outside to join the others. "I don't think there's much chance of assistance coming our way anytime soon."

Rourke shows the map to the others. "Is there some local police station or sheriffs office, I wonder? That might be a good place to start. And if there are locals left, you'd think they might be holed up there, or maybe the medical centre, if there is one of those as well."

[Mr. Handy]

"Yeah, the police station's a good place to start," says Mary, studying the map.

[Philulhu]

Ota’s studied the map briefly to get his bearings then said, ”Ok, let’s move out. Keep your eyes peeled and shout out if you see anything.”

Jacob unpacks his carbine and nods grimly as he slings it over his shoulder.

[Dave Syrinx]

"Yeah, let´s see the law." Hiroto agrees. Still feels like they went throgh some kind of slip in the fabric of time... "Did you ask about the current galactic time? What if we had a time-slip?" There it is again. Quiet, man..

[kabukiman]

You walk in the silent city. Well, not completly silent: there is the wind and ocasional doors making noises. There were several stores (many liquor stores), and private houses.
After a short walk in the central avenue (10 minutes, specially because you are walking with caution), you see a building in wood that says "Police". It has one upper floor, but the building is completly closed (both the door and windows).

[jp1885]

"Huh. I guess we should knock?"

Jacob saunters over to the police station door and raps his knuckles against it.

"Hello? Anyone there?"

[Philulhu]

Ota stood off to one side of the door, watching the street for any signs of movement, weapon held ready.

[Dave Syrinx]

Hiroto watches the houses on the other side of the street as the new arrivals try to rustle up the Police.

[Mr. Handy]

Mary stands on the other side of the door, her own weapon at the ready, and keeps alert to her surroundings.
