Who: Everyone!
What: The event log for the Null Attack event
Where: All over the city
When: May 29th- ?
Warnings: None

What starts as a normal day will begin to herald in the beginning of the end. On May 29th, you might see something in the sky out of the corner of your eye- blink and you miss it, but there's definitely something there, something that's not any kind of animal you've ever seen. Now that you know to look, you may be paying closer attention to the sky in order to catch the next one that flies past- a ship. A ship that that seems to be designed in a way that might remind you of the Null themselves.

As the days pass, it becomes unmistakable- the Null are here and are scouting out the area. It's time to prepare for an immediate attack and start putting all those contingency plans to good use. Will you gear up for a fight and fall into formation? Will you close and lock your doors and stay inside? Or perhaps there's some other plan that you want to enact?

You'll have time to discuss that on the network later, but now you need to start reacting to the Null's actions- which are apparently to start building smaller encampments around the city as they try to find the way inside. Confusion is holding them at bay for now but it might be time to start building some defensive measures and fortifications, because she won't be able to keep them at bay forever.

When they break in, they do so in a big way- with a massive explosion at Confusion's temple that rattles throughout the entire city. It's obvious that something has happened- and what exactly that something is reveals itself shortly when Null begin to flood the city, having broken through Confusion's protection.

This is when the fight escalates to an all-out war. Nobody is spared, and they're watching everyone from above. What will you do? How will you keep the ones you love safe? How can anyone survive this? All you can do is fight back, all we can do is wait. Good luck, Hadriel.

How'd you live? I mean, it's not like the Lab has a working shower or massive food reserves.

[it does, on the other hand, have various creatures in various states of dissection, but she's having a hard time understanding how those could be useful]

Cool. Consider 'em trashed.

[and she swings her sword at them with absolutely no finesse whatsoever. she might as well be swinging a baseball bat. either way, Null bits fly everywhere]

[That first question is just met with more nervous laughter.]

Well, uh, m-mostly we ate through what we had, and then Newt would go for supplies. We dug a tunnel under the back wall that we used to, uhm, g-go in and out. But it was! Really terrible!

[At least she can see this one being pulverized. She wishes it felt more cathartic, but... maybe she's just sensitive.]

At least this time we, uhm, had time to prepare. Last time it was just... they weren't here, and, uh. T-Then they were. It was the scariest thing I'd ever seen, when they bust through the wall.

Oh. That's smart. But, two weeks with no showers, I'd go insane. And my hair would start turning into dreds and I'd have to go rastafarian and smoke a lot of pot and that's just not me. [a friendly nudge in the side.

George is feeling enough catharsis for the both of them, believe me]

...I didn't see 'em. The first time. The first time, I spent holed up in the Clinic. Until it got burned down, then it was a clusterfuck.

[She isn't sure she gets the entire reference, but she laughs a little anyway because she doesn't want to be left out.]

All of it was bad. Hopefully, uhm... t-this can be better. Or at least it can be over.

[They're close. They're so, so close. They just have to get through it.]

Here, uhm... w-we should get out of here. Before more of them show up.

[...yeahhhhh, most of George's frame of reference comes from growing up on Earth, in Seattle in the late nineties, early aughts]

Over. I'd settle for over and done.

[she so never wants to even hear the word "Null" at any point in the future]

All right. Need an escort to the Lab?

[To be fair, hers is what falls in the garbage from humanity in god knows what year. She's just kinda missing a Lot.]

Heh. Sure, uhm, i-if you want. I need to pick some stuff up, but uh, I won't... just be hiding, this time.

[She's gonna do her best, at least.]

Let's go?

[so is George, since it seems like everyone from here is from fifteen years in her future]

Good, 'cause this time it seems like there's nowhere to hide. Might as well face it.

[her best seems to be pretty damn good]

All right, let's go.
