A Close Call?
It comes suddenly and without warning. The ground beneath the land shakes with great force and fury, the great towers of Union shifting dangerously due to the magnitude. Somehow, miraculously, nobody is injured, but great structural damage is sustained on many of the connecting bridges that keep the city together.
On the streets, people are fearful. What if another quake comes? What if they aren't as lucky that time? Teams of Engineers are all over the city, checking on the damage and making what repairs they can. Electricity has been knocked out in many areas and crews are still struggling to recover it, although the Signal Tower remains with power and broadcasts over radio and television are sent to reassure the populace.
Thankfully, no aftershocks come. Messages are already coming in from other ally cities, Caldera and Citadel are mostly fine, Refuge, while fine, has devolved into panicked prayer to appease whoever they offended to send such a large quake. As surveyors go out to examine the damage, they will find that new underground routes have been opened all over. Unfortunately, those who went to investigate have not returned, sending a second wave of panic through many of the cities. The Union Council is working with the governments of the other cities to plan a proper response, and they hope to announce within the next few days as the city recovers. For now, however, the new paths are strictly off-limits to all citizens, and have been placed under heavy guard by the Swords of the Savior, the Steel Battalion, and some Valkyrie volunteers.

[He smiles a toothy grin before getting back to the serious stuff.]
I suppose if we're both going to be teaching, we should both meet in person to make the broadcast, correct?

[He believes the Brentwood administration has at least a few rules against holding potentially large outside gatherings like this on school grounds.]

[Ishimaru might be the only person under 40 in Union to ever use the word 'swell', but the idea itself is pretty great.]
To say the least, such a spiritual environment will surely help any potential clients focus and adapt to meditating far more readily. Let's make it official, then! I'll see you there!
[He feels much, much better than he did a few minutes ago with the earthquake.]
