On the surface, steam rose up from sewer vents combining with the smell of street food, exhaust and sweet rain that was held down by a cloud layer so thick the pinnacle of the Spire and lesser buildings were no longer directly visible, just diffuse pillars of flickering neon in the mist. The regular cliches about work were bandied about by most citizens as they went about their day, unless they resided in the Spire or lived a life on the run amidst the rooftops and dives. The events of Friday night were already a fading memory, not just because of the distractions of Crashball, Pop entertainment, games, drugs and gambling available to almost any resident, but because City administration had made it abundantly clear in several ongoing PSA’s that there was nothing wrong and the temporary outage of GeoNet had simply been a result of natural phenomena- a freak and extremely rare earthquake. Any speculation otherwise or attempts to dissuade, provoke or cast doubt on this obvious fact, felt by nearly all citizens, would rapidly result in Net provisions being restricted and even a wellness visit by MCPD, a dronewalker at the very least. City life continues though the police presence is noticeably heavier as work crews, both human and drone, continue to clean up and inspect for damage wherever possible, most notably near the Spire. Natural choke points in traffic are especially jammed with service vehicles in several areas and when combined with the current downpour are making travel even more aggravating in those areas. At present there have been no further tremors or aftershocks be they physical or digital. Consider what your characters have been doing since Friday night and remember MCPD doesn’t compromise when it comes to your safety and neither should you![/i][/b][/center]
