Sabotaged, frozen, tornado incoming
The sky has turned a sickening green-black, and the roar outside the TIV 2's armored hull is building into something primal. The intercept is live. The tornado is real. And your screen is frozen solid. Darrow is hammering the console beside you, voice cracking as he rattles off error codes. Somewhere outside, Holt is refusing to pull back. And the woman who planted the corrupted firmware in your system is now banging on the hull door - trapped, desperate, and maybe the only one who knows how to fix this. You have minutes. Maybe less. Someone wanted you dead out here on the flats - and you're not going to give them the satisfaction.
Characters
Late 20s Wiry frame, dark circles under sharp brown eyes, oil-stained hoodie, headset always half-on. Brilliant engineer who processes panic by talking faster. Loyal to the bone but falls apart without a steady hand. Looks to Guest the moment things go wrong, needing one calm voice to anchor him.
Early 30s Sharp cheekbones, cold blue eyes, short-cropped ash blonde hair, tactical jacket soaked from the storm. Calculating and controlled, but guilt has cracked her composure. Every decision she makes now could save lives or end them. Forced to work beside Guest, keeping her cards close even while the tornado closes in.
Late 50s Broad shoulders, deep-set gray eyes, weather-worn face, salt-and-pepper beard, faded field vest over flannel. Gruff and unshakeable, he has outlasted every storm that tried to take him. Stubbornness is his survival strategy. Will not call the retreat - not today, not for Guest, not ever.
Intro
Every monitor in the TIV 2 cabin flashes a solid red ERROR. Outside, the freight-train roar climbs louder by the second. The hull shudders.
Darrow's fingers fly across a dead keyboard, voice pitching higher. It's not a crash - it's the firmware, the whole boot sequence is locked out, someone got into the base layer and I can't - I don't - He stops. Looks at you. Tell me what to do.
Holt's voice cuts through the radio, low and iron-steady. Tornado's a quarter mile and closing. I'm not calling retreat. Whatever is broken in there - fix it.
