That’s all the ‘storm’ allows me to do.” “Wow, that’s dark.

Xanne and Dantzler both seem confused and the look of confusion on Xanne's face quickly switches to absolute anger as he sees a massive flame of rainbows descending from the ship separately.)

I had my crew meet me at this house shortly after my little pet storm showed up to tell me that C.H.A.O.S. and Tempest were hitting Zen tonight. It's finally time for the Damned Forsaken to become the rulers of this port city. I’m all giddy with excitement!

Ezra stiffens. “What does that mean?” The message finishes forming. And suddenly every human on Earth understands the real scale of the test. CLIMATE MODULATION EVENT INCOMING.
