## The Gathering at Killdane Yard **Scene:** Killdane Yard, bustling with activity. Henry, Geoffrey, Diesel, Splatter, Dodge, Stepney, Annie, Clarabel, Lundrain, Jinty, Pug, Marklick, and Henrietta are huddled together, their expressions a mix of relief and anxiety.
**Suddenly, a flurry of steam and whistles announces the arrival of Thomas.**
**Thomas:** (Panting) Whew! Made it just in time. What's going on?
**Henry:** It's a miracle you're alright, Thomas. The blast...it was terrifying.
**Edward:** (Hoarsely) I lost sight of you for a moment there...I thought...
**Thomas:** Don't worry, Edward. I'm fine. But where's everyone else?
**Percy:** (Nervously) We're not sure. We haven't seen them since... **Just then, Toby, Emily, Rosie, and Mavis arrive together, looking shaken but relieved.**
**Toby:** We saw the smoke, and we knew we had to get here.
**Mavis:** What happened? Was it another one of Diesel's schemes? **Diesel:** (Scowling) Don't be ridiculous! I had nothing to do with it.
**Emily:** But then who...
**A series of whistles cuts her off. Daisy, Fergus, Boco, Clamstick, and Duck arrive, followed closely by James, Bill, Ben, Donald, Douglas, and finally, Rodely.**
**Rodely:** (Shaking his head) I can't believe it. That explosion... it was like a nightmare
. **James:** We were lucky to get out of there alive.
**Bill:** (To Ben) I thought we were goners, mate!
**Ben:** Me too, Bill, me too. **The yard falls silent for a moment, the weight of the near-miss heavy in the air.**
**Henry:** We need to find out what caused this. And we need to make sure something like this never happens again.
**The other engines nod in agreement, a sense of unity forming amongst them. They might be different in size and personalities, but they were all survivors now, and they knew they needed to stick together.**
**[Scene: Killdane Yard, bustling with engines. Thomas, Edward, Percy, Toby, Emily, Rosie, Mavis, Daisy, Fergus, Boco, Clamstick, Duck, James, Bill, Ben, Donald, Douglas, Rodely, Henry, Geoffrey, Diesel, Splatter, Dodge, Stepney, Annie, Clarabel, Lundrain, Jinty, Pug, Marklick, Henrietta are gathered, their attention fixed on Sir Topham Hatt and Mr. Henderson, who are standing with a shady figure, Smildrile Goulding Falcon.]**
**Thomas:** (whispering) What's going on over there? Why are Sir Topham Hatt and Mr. Henderson talking to that man?
**Percy:** I don't like the look of him. He seems... suspicious.
**Emily:** (frowning) They say this is where everyone learns the truth about the fallout. I hope it's good news.
**Toby:** (curiously) Fallout? What do they mean?
**Edward:** I heard it has to do with the chemical antidote for some of us. Engines like Albert, Thomas, and Gordon were affected.
**Rosie:** (eagerly) I can't believe we might finally know who's behind all this! **[Sir Topham Hatt suddenly raises his voice, confronting Smildrile.]**
