[ as it is, keith happens to be a light sleeper, but the thunderous crash that shakes the very foundations of adi's apartment complex is hardly what you'd describe as a subtle wakeup call. it's almost funny -- keith's been here for a month now, away from the need for constant vigilance from galran attacks and yet ion cannon is the first clear thought he has when the glass shatters and the building quakes.
his next move is practically reflex. keith immediately starts grabbing at the pieces of his paladin armor and puts them on. he doesn't know what help he'll be in a fight without the red lion if the galra have inexplicably turned up, but as he makes it outside the pieces start falling into place to paint a very different conclusion.
everywhere he looks, ther are massive columns of fire, burning and setting buildings ablaze like a scene right out of dante's inferno, down to the ragged screams of those roasting alive. heart racing, keith suddenly feels sick -- sicker, as the screams go unanswered. his eyes dart around, left to right, staring in horror as the adi security guard glances at the desolation, apparently completely indifferent to the suffering.
inexplicably angered, keith barely manages to catch himself by turning to a fellow other-worlder who's come out to figure out what the fuck is happening. keith runs over, recognizing tim from briefings the adi have given, but even if they haven't spoken much before this is hardly the time for pleasantries. ]
You can see all this right? [ he gestures at the chaos around them. ] We have to help.
