[color=6ecff6][i]Well, we needed [b]that[/b] thing like a hole in the glider...[/i][/color]

She watched the ominous curtain roiling ever closer, unsure of what to even call it in her head. Could a singular cloud be considered a storm, or just a herald of one to come? What did it have to do with the fire, whose root cause she could finally see from her more elevated position? What the heck was going on with the thing in the hood? There was no way this could all still be a shakedown run for a few new Zes...right? 

[color=6ecff6]"So...not to freak anyone out, but there's an evil death cloud just rolling up,"[/color] Iris reported brightly over comms. [color=6ecff6]"Just cruising in like it owns the place. I know in all the stories bad things always happen when someone goes to check the evil vortex out up close, but does anyone have [i]juuust[/i] enough curiosity to talk me into flying closer and seeing what's up with it?"[/color]

Just in case, she made sure her bike was ready for a few hairpin turns - although whether that would be to fly through the thing or fly [i]away[/i] from it was still up in the air. [color=6ecff6][i]Har har. Up in the air.[/i][/color]
