[Spoon-business] Grid Prop Tweak

[Daniel Lepage <dplepage@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I amend my proposal entitled __Goodbye, Cruel World__ to read:


{{
__And I Feel Fine__

[[
Wonko looked down. A small orange beetle was crawling up his bare arm, 
towards his rolled up sleeve. He flicked it off, watching as it bounced 
off the edge of the station, beating its tiny wings, trying to slow its 
fall before it reached the inferno. It didn't make it.

Not that it made any difference; the machines knew not to destroy this 
corner 'til last, but destroy it they would. Nowhere on the Grid was 
safe.

With a twinge of regret he observed, through the shimmering curtain of 
heated air, the last remaining Service Mall going up in flames. Soon, 
it looked just like the rest of the Grid - a whirling firestorm, 
melting and incinerating anything and everything in it.

Apophis must be getting a kick out of this.

He glanced over at the shattered and melting remains of Apophis' 
Temple. Maybe not.

His headset beeped. Five minutes.

In the distance, a sudden blue flash marked another player's departure. 
He thought it was bd, but it could have been Anything; he knew they 
were both over there somewhere, but wasn't sure where.

Another blue flash came from the same direction. That would be the 
other of the two, getting away while there was still something to get 
away from.

More flashes appeared, as the rest of the Roster departed for the 
safety of Limbo.

An explosion in the distance sent molten rock flying as an Insta-Rule 
gave in to the fire and added its own considerable energy to the storm.

Wonko scanned the remnants of the grid; it looked like everyone had 
made it off safely.

Another beep. Two minutes.

Green lightning crackled to the sky as the spirit of Dave abandoned the 
barely-recognizable shape of the Avatar.

Wonko turned to his console, to begin keying in the escape sequence.

He turned back, as another blue flash caught his eye.

Near the vSOI headquarters, or at least what was left of them. Probably 
the Baron. BvS must have stayed for a last look at the building, he 
supposed; the Baron could be oddly sentimental sometimes.

Another beep. One minute.

Of course, that was how much time remained until the salvo of Shivas, 
as they'd been dubbed, arrived to make the destruction absolute; the 
bombs converging on the station were already clearly visible. They'd 
arrive in less than thirty seconds.

With one last look at the shattered world, Wonko finished the escape 
sequence. He caught a brief glimpse of what was probably a Shiva coming 
down through the smoky haze as the world went blue.
