At midnight, Ronan Kendrick brought Evelyn Ford into the administration building. Ronan shut off the building's main power, disabling the security cameras. Once Evelyn walked right into the broadcast room, Ronan destroyed the camera inside before heading back to turn the power on again.
Evelyn Ford cleared her throat and switched on the broadcast system.
"Attention, attention. All residents, please take note: corrosive acid rain will fall in the coming days. Please remain indoors and store up drinking water!"
The voice that came over the speakers was a distinctly weathered female one. Evelyn didn't dare say more, shutting off the broadcast after those brief sentences. Just then, the power was cut again, and Evelyn Ford and Ronan Kendrick swiftly departed the administration building.
The sudden voice from the broadcast startled everyone in the base awake. The words "corrosive acid rain" struck them all with the force of a physical blow.
