We were in an all-staff meeting - the Bataan Death March of meetings - when the building shook, lights flickered ... everyone panicked and ran out of here at top speed. They're gradually coming back (having climbed five stories, since the elevators are out).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Holy crap, people are evacuating buildings and stuff, here in NYC.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Freaky! It's so weird to see reports here, FB and Twitter from Toronto, NYC, Boston, Flea in Georgia. That's one massive quake.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
That's crazy! And kind of a big one, especially for places not used to it!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We don't even share quakes across the whole state. You guys sure get around.

I know! It's very strange. Still, a 5.whatever is pretty big, especially for areas without seismic codes.
I hope nobody got hurt!

Yeah, most of us left the building. At first thought it was facilities moving eqpt upstairs. Then maybe blasting in the ravine? Then it.just.didn'tstop. And the walls were visibly shuddering.
I've never felt a quake before. I don't like them.
