Astra

[GrandPiano]

Togham stares at the steadily accelerating ambulance, frozen in fear. He can't get out of its way, and he knows he has no hope of outrunning it. He can only hope that something will happen before the ambulance runs them over... Assuming it is going to run them over.

[TheMMMification]

Oh no... Mom... Dad... They're gone. Marge puts her head down, puts her hand on her forehead, and starts sobbing quietly.

[Megar]

"So I'm basically a plant now..." Green remarks, having recovered. "Uh... this is really cool and all, but where do I even go with it?" He asks, his vines passively floating around him.

[Harmless]

What in the sam hill?!

Casper, without thinking much, decided that moving quite literally everyone out of the way was completely out of the question. He runs forward towards the ambulance while staying to the left of it so he doesn't get hit by it, then leads his arms and attempts to grab the mirror to pull it away from the group, lowering his center all the same for added weight. Surely he hasn't gotten rusty in his incredible arm strength, right?

[Sethster]

Jordan stood there in utter disbelief. How could a monkey head speak? "How..." Jordan said, still in shock, "How could you speak? I knew preserving a head was entirely possible... but to keep it alive too?"

[NanTheDark]

Tania hugs Marge.

"There, there... it's gonna be alright."

-MARGE & TANIA-
Silence. The surroundings seemed to have vanished, and there was nothing else besides sadness. You try to comfort each other to make the situation just a little better.

After some minutes, you can hear a voice from the mall's speakers. It was a voice easy to recognize, as you two heard it just a few minutes ago;

"Hello passengers of the ESTO-24; I am Cynthia, the leader of the ship and previously president of the Western Mega-Nation alliance.

Today, I am happy to announce to all that after 53 years cruising space, we finally found an inhabitable planet. It is a planet 55% smaller than Earth, with enough levels of oxygen and nitrogen on the atmosphere. Its soil is rich in minerals benefitial for earth's plants, and 60% of its surface is covered in water. Our researchers have found no signs of life so far.

Our new home is located in the Andromeda galaxy, is part of the Alpha Ventaurian system of planets, and orbits the red dwarf Alpha Ventauri. Our new home's name is planet Gaia.

For that reason, we are looking for people to help us with the ASTRA project. The ASTRA project consists in charting and exploring, studying and collecting data, as well as colonizing and building places we can inhabit. If you care for the future of humanity, and want to make the difference, join us. You can list yourself in the Military Central building in the South-Eastern section of the city. Humanity depends on you."

-GREEN-
You can hear a voice of a woman through the lab room's speakers:

"I'll assume that answers your question, boy."
-BEAT-

"Aww, look at that! He's angry! What're you gonna do, shoot me? Oh wait, you can't! Because you are a robot, and you are programmed so you can't lay a finger on a human!" The buff man said, and the other remained with no expression.

"James! Bring it to the arena. Anything is gonna be a hell of a match with this guy!"

"Okay boss. Come with me, you useless piece of junk, or we will have to take you by force." The boy says, and points a device known for enhancing the pain sensors of robots to you.

-JORDAN-
"Hehee... That's 2250's science for ya..." The monkey head says while struggling to spit words out. "Boy... Tell me your name..."

-JAY, TOGHAM & CASPER-
Casper's attempt to grab the mirror is successful, but ends up breaking the mirror. The ambulance kept going forwards, but now it's running more towards the left side of the alleyway, resulting in a small gap between the left side and the ambulance, but a bigger one between it and the right side. Casper is now safe from the ambulance, since he is now behind it.

"WHAT THE LITERAL ♥♥♥♥!? IS THIS THING SERIOUSLY GOING TO RUN OVER US?" Joseph said while staring at the ambulance about to run over all of you.

He turns to Togham: "HEY SQUISHY CAGE, LISTEN UP! RIGHT NOW YOU CAN DO SOMETHING NONE OF US CAN! YOU CAN LAY IN THE GROUND AND NOT BE CRUSHED BY THE BOTTOM OF THE AMBULANCE, BECAUSE YOU ARE HELLA FLEXIBLE RIGHT NOW." Joseph desperately says.

He then turns to Nolan: "NOLAN, GIVE THE JAY BOY A GUN!" Nolan then gives Jay one of his two guns. "I think I already know what Joseph wants to do. You will aim at the tire on the left, and I'll aim at the tire on the right. If we can shoot them at the same time, we might stop the ambulance. When I say "Go", you shoot."

"3... 2... 1... GO!"

Joseph runs to Stuart and whispers in his ear. They seem to be planning something.

35 seconds until the ambulance hits everyone, except for Casper.

[NanTheDark]

"Well, I guess they're gonna need me. Nice to meet you! Maybe we can do something another time."

Tania goes to the Military Central Building. There's so much she needs to ask...

[Megar]

Green lets a small smile grow. "Yeah... I guess it does." He nods, needing little time to make up his mind, not particularly having anything else to do anyway. "Is there anything else you'll need me for, or...?"

Assuming not, Green leaves after all is done.

[Zunar]

"What an intriguing weapon." Jay turns the gun over to give it a quick examination, then looks up at the oncoming truck. It's true that destroying the tires will stop the truck, however... I have a strange feeling that this will not turn out as expected. He aims for the left tire and, on Nolan's command, pulls the trigger.
