Lena laughed a bit. "Sorry, but you're both looking at my province's Gold Medalist Wrestling and Boxing Champion. I'm also the Silver Medalist of my nation's Young Martial Artists National Championships. Besides, I make sure to stay in shape. See?" Lena took off all of her clothes except her underwear, revealing a muscular yet attractive Lobo woman. Her fur was mostly black except for red and white tiger-like stripes, making her look like a wolf with a tiger's fur. "What do you think," she asked as she did some poses.

"Your boxing and wrestling medals aren't a big deal," Sha'la noted, "Have you been in a live fire warzone? I've served in 8 tours of duty, including one torrid incident that sadly my superiors won't let me talk about"

Luh'ciia sighed.
"Let it go Sha'la!"

Sha'la scanned Lena's form before murmuring, "Meh. Impressive figure I'll give you that."
She disappeared back into her room before returning with a large collection of her military decorations. Luh'ciia sighed again.
"Distinguished Service Cross, twice. Military Cross, three times. George Medal, twice. British Empire Medal, twice...amongst several others."

"And I will stop you all there before this turns into a willy-waving contest! Especially you, Lieutenant! You of all people should know!"
Everyone turned around to find a Dannistrian human male standing at the door. Luh'ciia quickly put her own clothes back on.
"Kah'lad? Nice to see you here!" Sha'la exclaimed in her sing-song tone, "And what brings you here?"
"Not you, that's for sure," Kah'lad replied, looking visibly uncomfortable at seeing his ex-girlfriend there, "I'm only here for a few days to pick up my belongings, then I'm heading back to Dannistaan to train up some more new Raven recruits. You on the other hand should know better than to keep drinking and picking fights with other students."
"Was not fighting!" Sha'la answered childishly, "And don't make me pull rank on you!"
Kah'lad shook his head.
"Pull rank? Yeah right...anyway, I'll be heading off soon. Luh'ciia, apparently you are to be taking over some of my paperwork about here."
"Right..." Luh'ciia raised an eyebrow, "Paperwork?"
"Top brass want someone to fill in some forms regarding what you all are doing. You'll have to fill them in as I'm leaving. It's normally my job. Tell Nah'diir and Li they will need to chip in as well if you are having any problems."
Kah'lad then raised his cap and bowed at Lena.
"Apologies about my colleagues behaviour ma'am. Have a good day," and then he swiftly marched down the hall. Sha'la rolled her eyes.
"I'm sorry about my exes attitude. He's been like that since that last mission" she said before dashing out after Kah'lad.
"You never call or write," Sha'la mentioned as she followed Kah'lad to his old room.
"You never asked. Or cared. I thought you would be too busy fighting in bars again," Kah'lad mocked as he turned the keys in the lock. Inside, Nah'diir and Li were startled from their session playing an old board game.
"Hey guys. Don't mind me. I'm only here for the next few days then I'm leaving. I'm just packing away my things then I'll be down at dorm C-5 down the road before I leave to head back home."
"Oh, shame. You still in that Raven's teaching job then?" Nah'diir asked. Kah'lad nodded.
"I'm one of the few consistent guys that still knows what he is doing. Every other instructor they had has been an idiot, has gone insane or just isn't up to scratch, so don't expect me to be here for a while. I may drop in from time to time. Oh, and you both are to help Luh'ciia with the Performance Recording Reports that I used to do."
"Sure thing!" Li chipped in.

Kah'lad then grabbed his suitcase and started loading up his clothes and belongings into it. Sha'la did a mock pout at his inattention to him.
"Seriously, why are you such a killjoy, Corporal?"
"I'm not a killjoy, Lieutenant, just someone who knows his limits and needs to move on."
"I don't think you are moving on. You are running away, it seems to me. You just aren't as mature as you think."
Kah'lad shook his head.
"Well, if you think that...now excuse me, I need to head down the road. I'll see you guys around. Drop me a line!"
"OK!" Li and Nah'diir replied as Kah'lad waved goodbye and exited the room. Sha'la still walked after him.

"I still miss you...at times..." Sha'la added on mischievously. Kah'lad stopped for a few seconds before continuing on, Sha'la still following.
"Well, I don't. Please, can you not understand Sha'la? We tried to make it work and well...it didn't. I respect you as a soldier. You did very well out there in the Hal'vii islands. And in Tyrsis. And in the Bai Lung campaign. Hell, you saved my backside a few times when everyone else was just falling apart in that kind of stress. And I thank you for that..."

Kah'lad turned around to face Sha'la in the eye.
"...but as a friend. As someone closer than that, I'm sorry but you just are too much of a pain away from the battlefield. Maybe if you calm down one day, maybe...we can try again...but for now, you are just too wild..."
"Me too wild? Or you just too timid?" Sha'la added with a smirk. Kah'lad sighed and shook his head.
"Guess I'm wasting my time here...look I gotta go. Email me if you must, but don't go asking for my new number, OK?"
"You know I'll find it out," Sha'la shot Kah'lad a sickly sweet smile. He shook his head and s[Account under review by Moderators]ed in disbelief before walking down the stairs with his luggage...

Still standing in her underwear, she was unfazed by what had happened. "Sorry about that, Luh'ciia. I hope I didn't get you into any trouble. I didn't mean to start a fight or a scene. Besides, if Sha'la thinks she's the only one who has experience in the military, well, I do too. I was in my old school's ROTC program. I'm hoping to enter the Ground Forces as a field computer specialist, another name for someone who hacks computers and fixes computers on and off the battlefield. Again, Luh'ciia, I'm sorry about this."

She then looked at the door. "So that was Sha'la's ex-boyfriend, huh? Seems okay. Polite and mature, although he is extremely uptight. I like the polite and mature part, but he could loosen up just a bit."

Lena then went and locked the door, to make sure they were not disturbed again. "So, what do you think of my body? I try to work out a lot to stay in shape, especially if I'm planning to join the military. You know, if you like we could continue the drawings for a bit more?"

"Nah don't worry about it," Luh'ciia waved her hand to signal she wasn't bothered, "Even if I am in trouble, well won't be the first time and it won't be the last. I wouldn't worry about Sha'la anyway. The first time I met her, she did exactly the same thing to me..." Luh'ciia smiled at that remark, "She's a good person at heart once you get to know her, but I'll agree she is annoying."

Luh'ciia tilted her head in thought.
"Come to think of it, I think that is why Kah'lad, Sha'la's ex, is so uptight. That and he lost his parents as a result of the big civil war that happened in Dannistaan in the eighties. I definitely think Sha'la's own behaviour didn't help. He's a good guy, but always rushed off his feet. I heard he got screwed over by the top brass a few times which is why he might not be able to loosen up. I guess anyone would find it hard to if they have been betrayed..."

Luh'ciia sat down on the bed and paused again.
"I'd love to continue the drawings, but I'll need to check my timetable first as I think my asshole of a chemistry lecturer may have given us an early lecture and I don't want to miss it. I'll check first if you don't mind?"

"I don't think so," Luh'ciia commented, "However the RA may give you into trouble for making too much noise at night."

Luh'ciia pulled out her cell phone from her pocket and started typing on to check the online timetable. She then frowned.
"Oh great..." she muttered, "That asshole!"

Luh'ciia then put the phone away.
"I'm sorry Lena, Going to have to go pronto. That stupid Chemistry Professor put a class on literally in the last second and I'm already in trouble with him. I'll meet up with you later, assuming he hasn't hung, drawn and quartered us all for being late..."

Lena felt bad about making Luh'ciia late. "I can come too. Maybe I can tell him that you were helping me move into my dorm and that it took longer for us to move everything in. I feel bad about making you late." Her ears dropped down in sadness.

"Don't worry about it!" Luh'ciia answered cheerfully, waving her hand to emphasise the point, "Seriously. It isn't your fault. There was litterally nothing on the timetable when I checked earlier an hour ago. It's just that professor. He's a bit cranky and does it with everyone. Last semester, I was late twice. And that was his fault. I think he secretly hates us."

Luh'ciia got up to exit Lena's room.
"I'll be back in about 2 hours if you still need me for any of your art projects. Otherwise I'll be back in my own room trying to get Sha'la to shut up as I study for yet another test," Luh'ciia winked.

"Okay. I hope everything turns out okay. And thanks for helping me out with my art projects! I'll return the favor!"

Lena decided to get ready for bed that way if Luh'ciia couldn't continue she would at least be ready for bed. Lena entered the bathroom (OOC: I'm guessing these dorm rooms have a bathroom for each one) and took off her undergarments. She looked at herself in the mirror. "Hm...To be honest, I look way better and far more attractive than Sha'la." She began to brush her teeth.

Despite all of the goings-on elsewhere in the dorms, Yiisu had managed to stay put in the media room, scanning the mess left behind in the already sordid state of what was supposed to be a relaxing environment for the overworked and underappreciated student.

He had picked up the plate, well shards of it at least, that had been "thrown" by the Dannistrian earlier. It was impossibly possible, he concluded to himself. He was well aware of Vekaiyu's experimentations of magnetism, how a manipulation of the Earth's magnetic field could not only allow for flying craft to hover, move up or down, and even go back and forth in mid-flight, but could also power the craft by means of a coiled wire. How awesome the Maxwell equations were. Everything in magnetism boiled down to those four basic relations. All the branches of Vekaiyun study, everything originated from those four simple laws.

But the plate was ceramic. Non-metal. Impossible to magnetize. But yet, there it was, shattered on the ground. It was clear some kind of manipulation was occurring. But what? He began rolling one of the shards in between his fingers. If it didn't come from magnetism, there was clearly no heat given off from it, and it didn't appear that there was a change in time (from what little he could tell), then force had to be gravitational. Could that person manipulate gravity? If she did, then she must be able to use it as a vector too, because only the plate flew and no other thing seemed to move from the action. At least, from what he could remember.

The hypothesis was clear to him: the ability to create point-source gravitational pulls but, not only that, to assign such a pull a vector and then remove the pull altogether. Complex, but possible. He was aware of theories that pointed to the creation of mini black holes that appear and disappear on a whim. But science only indicated that they were so tiny and brief they only affected their immediate environment - on the femtoscale level. Plus to control them?

He had to know more. He walked out of the room, shard in hand, and searched for some answers.

Standing in front of a large mirror hanging from the bathroom door, one which she had brought with her from home, Lena was busy waiting for either her roommate or Luh'ciia to come back. While she waited, Lena did a couple of self-portrait sketches in the nude.

OOC: I apologise for the lack of recent activity. I've sort of run into writers block and work and a recent holiday hasn't helped.

"Bloody hell!" Ella exclaimed as she started frantically coding at the terminal showing the output from the main server farm, "You techies have caused more problems than you've solved!"
"We just followed the manual..." one of the technicians protested. Ella frowned.
"Well obviously you didn't. The server is now showing more errors than what it was showing last time. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a virus wreaking havoc here...I've asked the guys at Little Shiro to double check and monitor at their end, but this is really pissing me off..."

Ella started typing more commands on the terminal and read the results as they came up.

Quote:
 
>LD VIRCHK5.EXE -A -DC -LGV -RT -V
Loading Virus Check Version 5

PLEASE WAIT...
RUNNING VIRUS CHECK 0%...10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...100%...


"C'mon...let's see what you got mister..." Ella mumbled as the terminal brought up the results.

Quote:
 
WARNING! 9001 Possible infected files detected. Recommend total cleanup of files.
Do you wish to carry out the cleanup now? Y/N?


Ella put her hand to her face in disbelief.
"Nine thousand and one viruses on this server cluster alone? What on earth have you guys been doing?!" she exclaimed as she typed more commands into the terminal to carry out the clean up. She sighed and sat down on a stool.
"This could be a long wait..."

Then Ella remembered that her roommate Lena mentioned being skilled in computers. "Maybe she might be able to help me with some of the other tasks down here while I deal with the more menial stuff," she thought as she picked up the labs phone and dialled through to her room...

Still not wearing anything (Yes, she sleeps in the nude!), Lena was busy reading a book when the phone rang. She picked it up and said, "Hello this is Lena Elene and Ella Rah'n's room. How can I help you?"

"Hey Lena. It's Ella. I remember you mentioned your computer skills are pretty good. Could you possibly head to the computer labs and lend a hand? The server techs screwed up big time. If you want to help, I'll give you directions to the computer labs as well. Took me about 15 minutes wandering in circles to find the damn place..."

Ella tapped a pen on the keyboard of the terminal as she waited. Several other terminals started beeping incessantly as she spoke.

Lena said, "Sure, let me get dressed first, as I was ready for bed. I think I remember where the Computer labs are from when I went on a tour here when scouting for colleges. I'll be there as quickly as I can." She quickly hung up, making a mental note to apologize for hanging up on her so quickly. Lena quickly put on some clothes, which consisted of only a black hoodie with Vulshain's national seal on it and a pair of sweat pants. She didn't bother putting on any underwear as she was in a hurry. She left a note for Luh'ciia telling her that she had to leave to help Ella at the computer labs. Lena quickly ran to the comptuer labs. She saw and almost bulldozed right over the Vekaiyun, Yiisu. "Sorry Yiisu! I'm in a hurry now! Nice seeing you again!" She finally reached the computer labs, after almost taking a wrong turn but she arrived in a very short amount of time.

"I'm here, Ella. What can I do to...Oh my." Lena was taken aback by the sheer chaos of what was going on. "Wow. You weren't kidding when you said that you needed my help. There are a lot of blue screens of death. And a whole bunch of error messages. So, what do you want me to do first?"

Ella smiled as Lena arrived.
"Wow. You weren't kidding when you said that you needed my help. There are a lot of blue screens of death. And a whole bunch of error messages. So, what do you want me to do first?" Lena asked.
"I need you to help run some of the anti-virus programs on the second server cluster over there," Ella pointed at at a group of large black cabinets at the far side of the room, "Do you have a Shiro campus login? If you do, I'll temporarily elevate your account to operator status. That's a few privileges below administrator but should be just enough to allow you to run the damn AV program. If you don't have a login account I'll create one for you now."

Ella then handed Lena a large thick book.
"I'll not patronise you by giving you the quickstart guide to the server's OS so I'll hand you the full manual instead. If you find it too complex, just read the sentences marked in yellow hilighter markers. But the gist of what I want you to do is login, and at the command prompt, type in 'LD VIRCHK5.EXE -A -DC -LGV -RT -V'. Some blurb will come up on the screen about the program and then it will start running. When finished, if it comes up with any infected files, it will give you a count and ask if you want to start repairing the files. Write down the number of infected files along with the date and time the scan finishes and agree to the file cleanup. It will then take a while to clean up those files. Once it's finished there, give me a shout. Or indeed give me a shout if you get any more problems. Simply enough?"

OOC: Making up the login name. Forgive me if it seems stupid.

"Excellent!" Ella smiled, "Give me a few minutes..."
Ella swung round to the terminal behind her and started typing quickly.

OK!


"That's you," Ella nodded to Lena, "Now, just run the command I mentioned to you. Doesn't matter what case of letter you type it in, caps or lower case. Just make sure you don't spell it wrong. Oh, and once you are done, do you know how to do a network trace? If you do, could you check where those damn viruses may have come from if you find any. I'll be at this terminal trying to backup what files are left if you need me."

Lena nodded. "Sure. And yep, I know how to do a network trace."

Lena got to business right away. She noticed some techs getting upset that their monitors had gotten the blue screen of death. "Must be a serious virus." Lena started working. She did a network trace, and she sighed. "Damn. Why do people look at this dang smut. It's just sick and gross. No art style or anything." She decided to do something. She began typing something out. "Hope this works."

1: ATTEMPT TO ISOLATE TROJAN WORM VIRUS AND TRANSFER IT TO A DISPOSABLE DISK. EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DO AS TROJAN WORM VIRUS IS VERY SENSITIVE AND COULD RELEASE THE WORM BEFORE IT IS SAFELY REMOVED.

2: DELETE TROJAN WORM AND THE WORM IT RELEASES.  MAY CAUSE SOME SYSTEM DAMAGE THOUGH.

3: COPY ALL FILES AND THEN DELETE TROJAN WORM VIRUS, THEREBY PREVENTING THE WORM FROM INFECTING ANY FILES AS ALL FILES HAVE BEEN REMOVED BEFORE THE TROJAN WORM HAS BEEN DELETED.  VERY TIME-CONSUMING.  COULD FAIL AS TROJAN WORM VIRUS MAY REPLICATE WHILE FILE TRANSFER IS TAKING PLACE.

4: GET A NEW COMPUTER.

"Sure. What have you got?" Ella asked as she wandered over to Lena's terminal.
Lena pointed at the screen.
"Hmm...Glad you got rid of most of the viruses on that server. I'll need to check the other ones as well though. But good job....hmm...yes...one virus still on here...I hate Trojan Horses...and Trojan Horses which hide Worms on deletion? Hate them more...well, I know option 4 is not possible. Can't afford any new servers at the moment and even if we could, we can't spare any time at the moment to install them right now..."

Ella rubbed her chin in thought then nodded at Lena.
"I would personally go with option 2. Better to risk some damage to the files I can fix than risk allowing this bloody worm to spread through the campus network. But it's your call, Lena. Once you are done, regardless of what happens, I'd like you to do that network trace and figure out where that worm came from. So, what do you think? I'll stand by your decision whatever happens."

Ella pulled over a stool and sat down, waiting for Lena's response. In the meantime she grabbed a backup DAT tape cartridge and started feeding them into the backup machines near her.

Lena smiled. "Thanks! I designed this program myself. It should keep an eye out for the same viruses and keep them from infecting the system ever again. It looks for similar viruses as well. Oh and apparently someone was trying to look at some porn sites while downloading some illegal songs and movies. I wish this was Vulshain. If it was, we wouldn't have this problem as all computers manufactured in Vulshain have built-in anti-virus and anti-worm programs that are some of the best in the world. A virus trying to infect one of those computers would be like trying to break a five meter-thick brick and reinforced steel wall with a rubber chicken!" She typed in a few things. "There. That should do. I got a network trace done for you. Now cross your fingers. This might be get rough."

She began to work.

Lena sighed as she lean back in her chair. "Wow. That almost became a nightmare, huh? Apparently the Trojan Worm virus piggybacked onto some porn site while someone was trying to download a porn music video. Damn! I can't believe some idiot would do that. I'm having trouble locating who the moron was, but the good thing about my program is that it keeps you from accessing that same site ever again. The site was probably a dummy site where hackers wait for some idiot to visit and download something and then the hacker sends the virus to that their victim's computer. If that virus had succeeded, well the hacker would have a lot of personal and private information: social security numbers, bank accounts, credit card accounts, driver's license numbers, passwords, permanent records. What I don't get is that viruses like this are usually used in cyber-warfare. It's possible, the virus was created by terrorist hackers, but I'm not sure, Ella. Still, I redid my program to keep an eye out for anymore viruses like that. Also, it might be best to inform the government or the military about this. Oh hold up...I almost forgot."

Ella's heart sank as she saw the warnings come up on the screen. When it was clear that Lena managed to stop the virus, Ella sighed in relief.
"Well done. That is probably one of the scariest moments I'd had working here. The only other moment I could think of which was scarier than that was this one time the entire Shiro network crashed last semester."
"Oh? What happened?" Lena asked, looking up from the terminal.
"Long story. But the short version was some idiot downloaded a fake file disguised as a film. In fact just like today. But it we weren't so lucky stopping it. Partly due to the incompetence of the technicians here and partly due to the sophistication of the virus in the first place. Took us 4 days to restore the servers to a usable state."

Ella started inserting more backup tapes into the server.
"Anyway, good work on the virus. Could I possibly ask you to look at the other servers while you are here? There is another 2 in the far corner over there. If you can't, I'll understand and let you go now."

Lena smiled and wagged her tail. "Sure!" She went to the other two computers and began working on them. She was having no trouble fixing them.

One technicina went over to Ella and whispered, "Is it just me, or is that wolf-girl not wearing a bra?"

Lena was humming to herself, focused on her work that she didn't notice the whispered conversation.

She then went to the next one. She got the same results. "Hey Ella is anything else you want me to do? These two are done, and completely virus-free and virus-proof."

"Great! Guess that is two less things for me to deal with..." Ella was interrupted by a loud clunk, followed by the lights switching off entirely. The dim glow of the terminal monitors, blinking server LED lights and emergency lamps being the only illumination in the lab.
"...or not..." Ella sighed, "Right...techs, get to all the terminals and shut everything down. The UPS is only rated for 1 hour of continuous operation so make sure the back ups are all done..."

Ella then started typing out several lines of code quickly on the terminal nearest her and then nodded.
"I have no idea what caused that but it didn't sound good."

After some more frantic typing, Ella checked with the technicians to make sure all the servers were safely shut down.
"All down and backups completed," the head technician shouted to Ella.
"OK then! Everyone out the lab! Assemble in the parking lot outside!"

Ella led Lena and the other techs out an emergency exit, making sure to close it on the way out. Once outside, the night sky indicated to them how much time passed.
"OK...better call home and warn them. And try to find out what is going on..."

Ella retrieved her cell phone from her bag and started dialing.
"Professor Sah'lis," the voice on the other line stated.
"Trevor, it's Ella. We got a problem."
"Servers down again?"
"Worse. Total power failure while I was doing systems maintenance and backing up the files. No idea what caused it. All I know is that the lights went out and the servers switched to the UPS backup. They are all shut down now and I'm trying to figure out what is going on."
"Very well. Keep me informed."
"I will. Speak to you later..."

Ella put away her phone and looked around. She then beckoned for Lena.
"I'm sorry to drag you into this, but could you help me find the cause of that power cut. So annoying given we were this close to getting those servers back up. Just need you to follow me to the main power room over there and we'll see if we can figure out what the hell is going on."

Lena nodded. "Sure. Led the way."

Ella, still cursing at the sudden glitch, beckoned two technicians to follow along. Ella lead the group to a large metal door marked "Server Lab Main Substation. WARNING! RISK OF ELECTROCUTION! KEEP OUT!". Unlocking the door with a set of keys she had, Ella fumbled for the light switch. Despite it clicking, the room remained dark.
"Great...should've known..." Ella mumbled as she reached into her bag and produced a torch. Switching it on revealed several of the circuit breakers still in their "On" position.

"OK...so the problem isn't in here..."
Ella walked outside and noticed most of the lights in the campus were now out.
"Great...campus wide stoppage. No idea what caused that..." Ella sighed as she looked around.
"Lena, could you do me a favour? Could you go into the left hand side of the substation room and check for any hazards there? I'll check the right hand side of the room. I thought I smelt burning in there..."

Lena checked. "Hey, Ella, looks like the circuits overloaded and melted. Does that usually happen?"

"No...No it isn't," Ella remarked as she shone her torch at where Lena was pointing. She then looked in the opposite wall and noticed several burnt circuits as well. Ella frowned as she checked the wall further.
"Something tells me someone seems to have sabotaged the power circuitry. It is highly unusual for this to happen. And even when it does, it should only affect the lab. You saw outside right? Almost the entire campus seems to be suffering a power failure. I'm guessing inside job maybe? Prank gone too far? Or maybe someone trying to do something far more sinister?"

Ella nodded at Lena.
"Think we should call the cops?"
Luh'ciia felt herself start to drift off as her Chemistry lecturer droned on at great length regarding Acids and Bases. Despite this being a fairly advanced level class, the professor seemed to be keen to repeat the basics over and over again until it seemed the whole lecture theatre was asleep. Just as the professor was about to complete a massive formula on vinegar and baking soda, there was a loud clunk and the lights went off, causing some mild confusion and panic. Luh'ciia sat up with a start.
"Well...this. Is. Annoying," the professor grumbled, "Well, I guess we better evacuate. Everyone move to the emergency exits and assemble outside in the main parking lot..."

As the students shuffled out quickly towards the still lit exit signs, Luh'ciia looked around to try to gather clues as to what was going on. Outside, the night sky provided little light from a few stars as the students stood around in the cold along with several other students and staff from various parts of the campus.
"Someone find out what is going on!" shouted one of the security guards as first aid staff arrived to check for any injuries.

Lena nodded. "I think we should call the cops." Lena went outside and noticed all of the students outside as well as a lot of security guards. "Oh boy, do--Ouch! Hey!"

Two men were throwing rotten fruit and now were going to throw rocks and pieces of broken glass, and apparently their target was Lena!

"I told you messing with the power would bring these furry freaks of nature out!"

"Shut up! Hey fellow students! Aid us in driving out these abominations! These vulpines, lobos, nekos, and other so called animal-people races! We must drive them out of here for a Pure and Human-centered world!"

"Oh crud."

Ella sighed.
"Oh no...not these nutters again...Lena, better head the other way..."
Before the two men could get any closer though, a large throng of other students appeared.

"Oi! Leave that girl alone! Stupid racist! Eat this!"
The rabble of students proceeded to surround the two men. Abuse from both sides were exchanged before someone threw a punch towards the two men. Before they could retaliate, more punches and several cans were hurled in their direction.
"RACIST SCUM! NO ROOM FOR RACISTS! VIVA DIVERSITY!" was heard. This attracted more students into the fray.
"Who's the racist? I bet you lot started it to frame non-humans! TEAR THEM TO PIECES!" were heard as Ella lead Lena way from the sub-station room.
"Oh great, those anti-racism people have arrived. Just as bad as those two bigots..." Ella sighed as they passed a large group of campus police heading to the rabble, "Sorry about this Lena. I have no idea what got into those morons..."

Meanwhile, the crowd was forced to disperse, but not before one of the campus Dean's gave all concerned a dressing down.
"Now, I don't care who started the disagreement. But as far as I'm concerned all will be punished for that outburst! And you two! Throwing objects at a fellow student is inexcusable! That was your final chance and you blew it! I'll be issuing out formal disciplinary actions later but lest you misunderstand me, you both can forget about turning up for class tomorrow! Now, back to the assembly point! ALL OF YOU!"

The students sheepishly headed back to the parking lot. Ella looked on, shook her head then dialled up campus security on her phone.
"I'll call up the cops now and see if they can go find out who has been fiddling with the entire campus power supply. This is really fishy..."
