			''Muffled screeches of stress.'' Anyway, that was a pretty extreme excursion to Glow City. Bear keeps telling me to not stop running; and I'm inclined to say that I agree. I guess I need to get my affairs in order just in case I don't make it, in the future.

			Brought back to the SpinGlobal Headquarters, Kyra stands on the VTOL platform waiting for them to get escorted out. A different team of SpinGlobal seizes the plutonium without comment. Kyra quickly directs medical teams to take who arrived for radiation treatment, getting them cleaned and given drugs to help the damage. She is quite congratulatory on their success though, thanking them profusely for what they had done. Eventually, they also get in contact with the scattered members who didn't make it to the plane, and let them get medical treatment as well.

	The rest of the team, realizing this is like, bad, but not wanting to stick around decided to try to hurry things up. Sanjuro dashes out of her hidden area, slashing on her path towards the truck. She manages to lift the bomb out of the back, and starts running away, very quickly. Cold Hands manages to get herself together enough to run as well, her friend calling for her to come back. ''She's not a traitor,'' She tells herself.		The rest of the team, realizing this is like, bad, but not wanting to stick around decided to try to hurry things up.

Cold Hands manages to get herself together enough to run as well, her friend calling for her to come back. ''She's not a traitor,'' She tells herself.

			As the team starts running off, the cults firing on them, the beam of light begins to glow closer, illuminating the surroundings. Cold Hands is the only on the team who can the figure within, protected from the worst of the radiance. A golden woman, burning with the light of the sun, the Shining One, come to protect her chosen. Predictably, this is bad. Hovering high in the air, unfairly out of sword reach in Sanjuro's opinion, the spirit starts to call on her power, winds starting to blow all around them. Flickering lights are threaded within, glowing paths and lines growing and spreading. The geigers counters begin to tick faster.

			Hurrying their escape, Sanjuro starts using a borrowed jetpack to hopefully get the bomb out of whatever terrible thing is starting, taking leaping bounds, hoping to get the approaching VTOL in time. Maestro is carried by their spirits. The other three, well, they just have to move fast and hopefully not die.

			As the effect continues, conditions worsen, a massive storm growing. Radioactive particles flying through the air, energy arcing, and the wind howling, the team can barely see in front of them as the storm starts to irradiate them, tearing their bodies apart on the molecular level. Cold Hands, while still affected, seems to have a slight bit of protection. Her connection with the Shining One, though tenous, offering protection as she's covered in her embrace. While she feels the urge to repent, to turn back, she resists and continues out with the team.

			Some of the team gives up on getting to the VTOL and take shelter underground, hoping to wait out the storm. A handful manage to make it, notably Sanjuro and the bomb, nearly dying but ultimately escaping.

			The plutonium had been saved, though the cult lives still.

	Following Cold Hands, the team heads towards a spot in visual range of the cooling towers. Eventually, the cult compound comes into view. A rough encirclement of debris and barricades makes a circle around a central area, gaps in the outer circle allowing passage in and out. Warped, vaguely humanoid, figures are chained nearby, behavior more like guard dogs than people. Closer examination reveals them to be Harvesters, feral, full of claws and teeth (and radiation). A group of people in the center seemed to be working on a bomb strapped to the back of a truck, likely where the plutonium lay. All throughout, people milled, some simply just living there, others armed and watching. A group of people sat in a cage, a glowing source placed near them. Several seemed to be wasting away, where others seemed enthralled.		Following Cold Hands, the team heads towards a spot in visual range of the cooling towers.

Several seemed to be wasting away, where others seemed enthralled. Curiously, infected and non-infected seem to work together in harmony, at least from what can be seen.

	The team split in two. Half staying in a sniper perch, ready to provide long range fire and support. Sanjuro and Cold Hands though, decided to go ahead, to infiltrate the compound and retrieve the bomb. Quietly disabling one of the Harvesters, the duo managed to sneak inside, hiding in the shadows of a small building. Creeping forward, they eventually reached a point where they couldn't feasibly sneak farther, not without a distraction. The rest of the team decided to start shooting around then.

	Throughout this, Cold Hands mental state was ''rapidly'' deteriorating. Rather than hostile and terrible, the compound seemed almost... welcoming? Like family. When she moved forward, a cultist waved her over to cover next to her. The other woman could sense Cold Hand's affinity, and welcomed her, promising her safety from the people attacking them. Being taken in without question, accepted, well, it moved Cold Hands a bit. Also it put her in a bit of an awkward situation. Not wanting to murder her cultist buddy and also being increasingly swayed in various ways, she kept hunkered down, "waiting for the right moment to act" as well as composing her mental state.

			A battle ensues between the snipers nest and the compound. The harvesters are released like attack dogs, and begin to race towards the intruders. Maestro's spirits fear some, driving them off. Gunfire is exchanged between the team and the cult, fighting off awakened off all types, as well as poorer, less trained members, who haphazardly fire their guns. The cult is seemingly led by a Very-Glowy man, humanoid, with light radiating from a hooded torso. The team can't seem to put him down, his wounds not stopping him. A nuclear spirit is summoned, creating reverence in the currently not-fighting members of the cult, including Cold Hands and her new friends. It's considerably less fun for the rest of the team.

			It's around this time that a beacon of light, blinding and white, rises from one of the cooling towers into the sky. The sight seems to boost the morale of the defenders. Cold Hands can tell, this is different from the spirit before. Special.

			The rest of the team, realizing this is like, bad, but not wanting to stick around decided to try to hurry things up. Sanjuro dashes out of her hidden area, slashing on her path towards the truck. She manages to lift the bomb out of the back, and starts running away, very quickly. Cold Hands manages to get herself together enough to run as well, her friend calling for her to come back. ''She's not a traitor,'' She tells herself.
