The tunnel to District 2, main transport for Peacekeepers, is unexpectedly closed before dawn. In edition, a mandatory evacuation is declared for mile around the tunnel, clearing out a large section of the South East part of town.

The evacuation ends several blocks from the Tribute Training center, but they hear plenty about it. And can see the Capitol citizens unhappily trudging to friends, relative, and the shelter set up for those with none.

The recording that plays every few minutes on all the stations state that there is danger of a possible gas leak, and the evacuation is precautionary.

However, resident report seeing teams going into the tunnels and not seeing them come out.

Some report screams.

Luckily for the Capitol, most of the teams were made of avoxes, so that rumor is easy to silence.

"What I think is irrelevant." There is a small, subtle sharpness in his voice as he spoke, though it left just as quickly. "Though I'm sure there is a leak that needs to be plugged. Whether its a gas leak or otherwise..."

He continued watching.

"That remains to be confirmed."

Harley looked unimpressed with that answer.

"You brainy types, always gotta have the proof before you commit. Come on you're a smart turtle. Speculate a little. Give my imagination a direction to run wild in. Rebellion, Muttations, anything?"

Just the word rebellion was enough to get some of the people standing near Harley to edge away nervously.

"I am speculating." Don kept staring off at places beyond the barrier. "I'm simply speculating smartly."

...Zing. Maybe. Whatever.

After a time, Don's eyes narrowed.

"...Hmm."

[revvinguptheharley]

"Hmm?"

She tried to follow his gaze, sucking down more of her soda. For a manic hyperactive lunatic she was incredibly observant.

"Something catch your eye chrome dome?"

[polyturtle]

"...Its...nothing."

And that was the problem.

"For a possible gas leak, their hazmat procedures are lackluster and reckless. I haven't seen any personnel wearing protective gear."

[revvinguptheharley]

Harley stroked her chin in an exaggerated display of thinking.

"Kind of like sending canaries into the coal mine when the miners haven't come up?" She mused.

"Have you seen any of them come back out yet?"

[polyturtle]

"Basically. Or not sending canaries down at all." Don took a quiet breath, feeling his heart start to pound. Which he blamed on the soda. "I haven't."

[revvinguptheharley]

"Oooo~" Harley wrapped her arms around herself and shivered. "Mysterious~ I wonder what secrets lurk just beyond the shadows." She giggled.

"The way technology is in this crazy place, it probably wouldn't take much to hide something big. A layer of concrete, some guards..."
