    Summary

    The lights turn off, plunging everything into almost complete darkness. There are small emergency lights, but those are too close to the ceiling to give them too much light. Enough that it isn’t pitch black.

    What's happening? Raf wonders.

    Footsteps begin shaking the ground. The trio turn in the direction and through the very dim emergency lights, they catch the silhouettes of Bulkhead and Arcee.

    “Bulkhead!” Miko shouts. “What gives? You were supposed to pick me up!”

    “Sorry, Miko,” Bulkhead replies. “Something came up.”

    Raf catches it, something about Bulkhead’s voice sounds off. Almost muffled.

    “Arcee?” Jack asks. “Anything to add?”

    Buzzing starts in the back of Raf’s head at Arcee’s silence but continued movement toward them. He grabs Jack’s sleeve, turning to look at him. While he can’t catch much, the look Jack has seems confused. Miko starts heading over.

    “Miko, wait!” Jack snaps, his voice an octave to high to sound casual.

     

    *Raf, Jack and Miko catch a ride to base from Jack's mom and find the main area quiet and empty, devoid of the usual ruckus. Then the power goes out, and everything goes downhill from there.
