PLOT: WISE SNAKE'S EMERGENCE

[theearth]

Who: OPEN.
When: March 9th, Sunday, daylight hours.
Where: The business district of Locke City.
What: An enormous snake monster is pissed.
Warnings: Violence.

[The alien explodes silently - but it explodes.

First in a small cloud of hot (rose-scented) gas - those there to watch its final moments will want to step back.

A ripple in the air pulses - heavily - from where it once was, with absolutely no sound and color, but penetrating force. Anyone standing within two miles of the point of origin will feel a push, with those closest guaranteed to be knocked off their feet and temporarily dazed. Cars swerve and crash. Staff in the nearest office buildings launch into disarray. There’s no shielding from the blast - it can be felt through walls, through structures, in the air, and underground.

And it is felt underground.

The entire business district starts to shake, abruptly, jarred to a stir by some movement. It rises over the span of a long half-a-minute to the magnitude of December’s earthquake.

Tuning Towers experiences the worst of it - windows are smashing and objects are shaking loose and falling from the upper floors.

It finally ends - with screaming - as the head of an enormous pink snake breaks the lobby floor.

It flows its way quickly out of the hole it’s made, breaks itself another hole ever so politely through the main entrance doors, which were not meant to accommodate a twenty-foot-tall-and-wide exitor, and as it draws the last of its tail out after it, the quaking dies down.

It’s now roaring its way through the streets of Locke City’s business district - all several hundred meters of Wise Snake, emerged in the flesh (or stone?).

No regard for the walls of buildings, streetlamps, civilians, stopped and blindly pulled-over vehicles, anything else on its course - in a frantically-awakened, unrestricted rampage.]

[Mordin, much like Ravi, is focusing fairly intensely on medical care, but he's making liberal use of his omnitool. The glowing orange device can do almost anything medically related, from scanning to antibiotic administration to medi-gel application, and Mordin has made no secret of it.

Occasionally, he pauses to coordinate with another member of his medical team, discussing something on the radio. A small white device appears on his waist - the compressed version of his Scorpion pistol.

Reports may recognize Mordin - he's given interviews before, achieving moderate fame for his work on viral transmission as a method of gene therapy.]

[The first reporter and cameraperson to catch a hold of him fail to recognize him, and they come on the scene with the camerawoman stepping ahead of the reporter and zooming in.

The reporter asks:] Sir, can you explain what you're doing?

[As the camerawoman adjusts her angle, with a less-than-steady hold.]

First aid.

[He turns to a pair of teenagers, directing them to the nearest aid station and informing one that he'd have to support the other, given her broken leg. He reassures them that there are no serious injuries, and turns around to face the reporters.]

Willing to answer a few questions, but would prefer this not take long. Medical skills needed around city.
