For the next few minutes you all take turns looking out the window, even Cath, as the city gets closer. At least that’s what they told you, that it was New York City, your ultimate destination. It just seemed so unreal. Even as you were approaching you started to see places as big or bigger than Fort Riley or the base you were at briefly flash by, some with people, some empty.
Eventually Morrigan tells you that you need to go gear up, apparently Koko’s stuff is getting taken off the train when you get there and you need to be ready. It’s only a matter of minutes once you finally make it to your cabin, everyone gearing up fully and taking all your travel stuff too.
You head down to the car where Koko’s stuff is, finding all of her people there as well.
“Morrigan!” says Koko with a smile as you arrive, “Good to see you all.”
“Uh, yeah,” says Morrigan, “So what’s the deal?”
“Well, I need to make sure that my deals are all ready and to secure some transport for the remainder,” says Koko, “So I will be leaving you and some of my people behind until I return.”
“Got it,” says Morrigan, “Don’t let people steal your shit.”
“So crass, but yes,” says Koko, even as the train hisses, jerks and squeals to its final stop.
Instead of getting off the normal way, Koko’s people open up one of the huge side doors to the car with the squeal of wheels on tracks.
As it opens you see… everything and nothing.
There’s so many people, even on the train platform that you aren’t sure initially that you’re seeing things right. Off just a bit in the distance are the towers you saw before, so much bigger now that you’re close by. The sights, the smells even, all overwhelm you.
>Stop and stare again, you can’t help it.
>This is… all too much. Too much.
>No, no you have work to do.
>Other.
