Chapter III
KSD woke up and prepared to go to work. Looking at the clock he saw he was already running late, and if he didn't hurry he'd be on trial for sabotage before the site mods by sundown. He bolted out the door, barely even zipping his suitcase.
He checked his watch. 10 minutes. No way he was going to make it to the MiniDis on foot. He dashed doubleplusspeedwise to the nearest subway station, "Western Residential Complex". Going down the stairs and into the terminal, he saw the next traincar would arrive in 3 minutes. The trip to Central Square took around 5. If the greatness of Captain_Scar was on his side, he might just be able to check in to work with a few seconds to spare.
The traincar's lights became visible. KSD instinctually began running toward it. He didn't hear the "Stand Clear of the Yellow Line" on the speakers, and he barely even noticed when he started to plunge 5 and a half feet down the tracks, with the traincar bolting towards him. In moments, his life seemed to be flashing before his eyes...
A hand suddenly grabbed him and pulled him away a moment before the traincar arrived.

Bubonic had awoken early: 5am, to the exact. For most citizens, this was a travesty to be awake so early, however, it was important for the military of MSMGSOC to be vigilant at all times, lest the furries attack during the night. Today, she had not much to do. She had scheduled a meeting at 8:30 with Colonel Blue to discuss their regiment's close proximity at the border with the Furries-stream, and although it was early, she felt it would be better to be there before them.
Calmly, as the curfew was lifted and citizens began to exit their homes to go to work, Bubonic arrived at the Finlayson Memorial Station, toward the northern parts of MSMG where all the rich/important people such as herself lived, to get going to the Central Square Coffee Shop to meet with Blue. Looking at the schedule as she arrived at the terminal, with civilians rising and saluting her as she passed, she saw this posted next to it.
"FINLAYSON-CENTRAL SQUARE SUBWAY LINE HAS BEEN CLOSED TODAY FOR MAINTENANCE. GLORY TO MSMG!"
Sighing, she looked at the schedule and found she would have to connect through Western Residential Complex Station. The gap between the two lines was 15 minutes. The glorious site mods were only ensuring the line was perfect for them, of course she knew that. And so, she happily used the traincar to get to WRC.
