A Big Splash

HEADLINE: A BIG SPLASH

Late last month, all the citizens of Convergence endured the impact of the great red comet. The impact was oddly off trajectory, as if moved by a mysterious force. Some believe that a single man was the cause of this, but the method of which this could be done is still being debated. 

One man, Carver Wallace, gave only this, "Oh, maaaaan, it's all energy, man. It's all kinetic. We are all spirits, rising through the atmosphere, man. Like, cats... yeah... and poptarts." Mr Wallace has since been sedated and taken to the Nexus for evaluation.

On the day of the impact, the altered trajectory caused the comet to fall into the ocean off the island of Convergence. This subsequently caused a great tsunami from the displaced water. 

The tsunami, however, never made it to the city, save minor flooding. Some citizens claim it was through the efforts of a single woman with a girl at her side. This claim is sill under investigation, pending further information.

The floods were not nearly as dire as many had assumed. The library, Nexus and other areas were well prepared with constructed walls of earth, as well as sand bags placed strategically throughout the city and underground.   Some groups had moved to camp upon rooftops prior to impact, in anticipation.

Everyone banded together in the time of need. There was a lull in debates, and all, regardless of beliefs or homeland, rendered aid; offering transport, supplies, or shelter. It was a momentous moment for the citizens of Convergence.

Despite the low flooding, it was noted that the water did not ebb to the ocean, but lingered. Some suggested that the water was adding as much as it was subtracting. 

A small sortie decided to investigate the underground pumps. After drudging through the unpleasant underbelly, they discovered, and dispatched an obstruction, finally allowing the waters to flow. 

The city recovered, and moved forward, awaiting the next challenge. 

Let's all raise a poptart to the sky, Convergence will endure!

This month's Convergence Chronicle is dedicated to Brom Thor aka The Haggler.  The players of Convergence were rocked to the core after the news of his IRL death.  At first we were going to place an Obituary, but this did not seem to satisfy the need of our sadness.  There are times that IC and OOC cross and we cannot help but be affected.  Haggler was not just a character within Convergence, he was also a person, an acquaintance, a husband...a friend.  He will be sorely missed.  Rest in Peace, Haggler.
