Bk 1: Ch 1: Pt 3

You feel indecisive on how to answer her. For some reason you feel tempted to reveal that you are a GSA and that there is a potential emergency outbreak. You pause for a moment, trying to figure out how to smoothly transition the conversation back to her. She looks at you with curiosity, one eyebrow partially raised.

“I didn't mean to intrude, nor to make you uncomfortable.” Lainy's expression is one of acute observation as she says this to you. Too late, you realize that she is more than what she has claimed, and she now knows that you have secrets.

Chiding yourself for this social slip, you realize you must be way more tired than you thought, to have your guard down so low. Easing back into your seat, you look out the train window into the passing forest, trying to collect your thoughts.

Collecting the contents of the package had been rough work. You still are shaken by the memories of climbing and crawling through the dank slimy caverns inside the mountains. The fungus grows only in humid darkness and since primates can not detect it's scent, a patch can be difficult to locate. Luckily for you, the rumor you picked up in the city of Torbansview proved fruitful.

BOOM! The other side of the train is rocked hard by something large. You jerk upright, clutch the package, and get your arms through it's straps. CRASH! A second object rams into the train, quickly followed by a third. You catch a glimpse out the window of fast moving things coming out of the forest and slamming into the train.

Do you...
1) Try to secure yourself into your seat, preparing for a crash.
2) Assist those around you into their seats.
3) Attempt to locate a train official, and see if you can help.
4) Run to the windows on the opposite side of the train to get a better look out.
5) Seek a way to jump off the train.
