<strong>Sana Lysenko<br/>Shopping center parking lot<br/>/w everyone inside the centre</strong><br/><hr/><br/>Mayson said,<em>"What do we do?" </em><br/><br/>Before they could talk, Dani came back in with an unconscious Michelle, Tristyn, and a new face that showed signs of familiarity with Michelle.<br/><br/><em>"Hey, you two doing alright?"</em>Dani asked Mayson and Sana.<em>"I found this girl with Michelle. Tristyn is carrying Michelle over here."</em><br/><br/>Sana spoke up,<strong>"We're good. We'll be fine."</strong>She nodded yes to emphasize it.<br/><br/>Mayson wasted no time and introduced herself to the new face. It was easy to admire Mayson's forwardness. She didn't waste any time in trying to make the new face comfortable.<em>Clever girl.</em><br/><br/>Sana slipped up behind Mayson and rested a hand on her shoulder to let her know that she was with her. Looking to Michelle's friend, she said,<strong>"Hi, I'm Sana. Is Michelle okay? Her nose looks bad. Is there anything we can do to help?"</strong><br/><br/>Dani had slipped off to join her colleagues and to Sana it looked a bit like maybe she was avoiding Tristyn still. Thankfully he was wrapped up with helping Michelle get some medical attention. There seemed to be a few more people stepping forward to help with bandages and all the minor burns that people received when the electronics popped.<br/><br/>Half directing this at everyone in ear shot and half towards Mayson because she's the one that asked her earlier.<strong>"It was a solar flare."</strong>She pointed up.<strong>"They said there was going to be some big ones this year. (http://www.examiner.com/article/solar-flares-predicted-to-raise-havoc-2013-scientist-have-new-warning-tool) The last big one in North America was in 1989 in Canada. (http://earthsky.org/human-world/solar-storms-can-cause-power-grids-to-fail-at-lower-latitudes) That left six million people without power for days. Just looking around, this one is way bigger then that. Probably everyone in San Fran and Oakland are without power. Maybe all along the west coast. When that one hit it only took out power lines, not all the electronics.  We should grab as much water as we can before we start hiking home. The walk home itself is going to take half an hour or more if the traffic is really bad. By traffic, I mean a lot of people out on the streets... I don't want to be an alarmist guys... but there's probably going to be some rioting in the streets tonight."</strong>Her voice grew quieter towards the end. She wanted to warn her friends but not alarm people around her.<br/><br/>With those thoughts in mind, she spotted a few cases of bottled water that someone had brought in and she quickly darted over to grab one for all her friends. Quietly she placed water bottles in each persons hand. Then she went back and grabbed some more, handing them out to Dani and her colleagues.<br/><br/>The location was beginning to make Sana nervous. She forgot about the pain in her wrist and started to worry about the crowds and the shopping centre. Her eyes looked around to find exits, bicycles, water, gatherings of people. This place looked fairly calm and surprisingly well organized. She suspected that was because of the affluence of the neighborhood and the skill sets of the people present. In her fears though, she wondered how bad it might be elsewhere with sets of people less organized and more desperate - places that had less security and spent less money on emergency preparedness. San Fran was a place used to disasters and always prepared but not everywhere received equal attention. She wondered about some of her friends from work and their families. Her brows furrowed as she lost herself in the thoughts.
