N’Kinto International Airport was a ruin, the runways cracked and the flight tower toppled. Trickshot took the LairJet controls and brought the craft in on hover mode while the Shoggoth rolled over the fuel fires and Hatman used his Cranes cap to heave the larger bits of wreckage off the collapsed terminal.

“If this is what it’s like here, what’s it like nearer the middle?” CSFB! pointed out.

Princess Uhunalura laid her hands on one of the flight tower crew dragged clear by Yo. She shuddered a moment and the man awoke.

“What happened?” Hatman asked him.

“It was very sudden. The sky went dark. Something moved overhead. Something very large. Then the whole world shook.”

“A pretty fair part of it, anyway,” CrazySugarFreakBoy! agreed.

“There was a big rainbow flash, too,” the flight controller remembered. “Over to the north…”

“The northing?” Yo puzzled. “But is to be epicentre to east!”

• Check the epicentre
• Check to the north
