The Grandfather of the Reunion

Prologue 3-2

The red mist is coming

Starting major memory playback with: A different perspective for enhanced serotonin dose

[It's currently been a day, and Hosea nor Talulah has been seen or heard of. Of course, Talulah usually just...permits scavenging runs, and since the coil is melting down, scavenging runs are banned until further notice or evacuation. The camp is...not really put into disarray, though it did put Sheriff Will over the edge. Witnesses reported that Hosea was seen with Talulah, taking a nature walk apparently.]

[AJ and Frostnova are basically their second in commands, so all eyes were turned towards them. Fortunately, these eyes were just a few of the main cast of the Union Movement.]

Frost: "Do nature walks usually take this long, AJ?"

AJ: "Well... Yes, he's off to find his cabin or something. I didn't expect Talulah to join him though."

Mephisto: "Aren't they adorable together, Faust?"

Faust: "Yes, but you may need to keep your theories to yourself... She doesn't approve of ship teasing."

AJ: "Don't we all?"

Frost: "Talulah is indeed getting close with Hosea, I didn't expect it would be this quick!"

Crownslayer: "Hey, Gordon, something about you."

Gordon: "Yeah, screw you too."

*Their...obscene side comment prompted weird looks from the people...who understand it.*

AJ: "You two are weird."

Gordon: "Hey! She started it!"

AJ: "Anyways, this won't hinder our progress, everything is still moving like clockwork, and Svetlana agreed to shut up about her conspiracies."

*AJ sees Sheriff Will, clearly distressed, with Svetlana following him outside.*

AJ: "Uuuntil now."

Frost: "Ugh, great, what is it now?"

AJ: "Stay here, kids. Let the adults handle this."

Mephisto: "I'm an adult!"

Faust: "No you aren't."

[AJ and Frost leaves Faust and Mephisto at the former former's tent, under the supervision of...non-preferable prepubescent babysitters. They make a beeline towards the bus, where they see Svetlana and Will having a discussion, the latter being anxious about something.]

[Perhaps it might be the reddish sky? The sky does look more tinted than usual. Their conversation slowly becomes audible as they casually approach them.]

Will: "So, just exactly, what is the problem of the coil now?"

Svetlana: "The amount of overheating the coil is dealing, is turning the dome red. The pressure is more...well, it has a lot more pressure than I previously thought."

Will: "Oh my Joseph..."

AJ: "What's happening? What's wrong? What's with the 'Oh my Joseph'?"

Svetlana: *She looks at Will for permission to report. He nods and gives her the go ahead.* "The sky? You haven't seen a difference in it?"

*Frost and AJ looked up to the sky, and indeed, at the large skylight uncovered by the canopies, it is red.*

Frost: "The sky is not supposed to turn to red, right?"
