And the Lights Went Out
Who: Micah and Haru
Setting: The main courtyard in the center of the Nest
The moment the lights flickered, Micah frowned. He waited, watched them flicker again and got up from where he'd been sitting in the doctor's lounge. That definitely was something he needed to address. There wasn't much going on most days, which meant he'd packed the go-bags when he was bored. He went to the closet they were stored in, opening each one and checking the contents. Pleased that they were properly packed, he set three of them on the counter. Then he sent out a message to the other two medical team members and the rest of the 'net before grabbing his bag. He dug around until he found a few flashlights, setting the two spares with the bags, putting his in the third bag and waited.
When the power flickered again, he looked up, counting to five before it didn't come back on again. He grabbed his bag and flashlight, then headed out of the hospital. It was a great place and all, but if he was harder to get to, and his equipment wasn't working, it was no use to him. He could do plenty in the field. That was the perk of being an ER doctor anyway.
The walk was eerie in the half light, and much longer than Micah would have liked, but he made it to the center courtyard in the Nest, dropping on a bench to rest for a moment and half set up shop. Or at least wait until he was called upon.
