"Sir." Malloy nodded and went to operate the radio set, then hesitated. "Wait, is that an...earthquake?"Aleister Crowley wrote: ↑Sat May 16, 2020 9:30 pm"Malloy. How quickly could we evac? Hawthorne needs to arrive at dusk or dawn. There is a sufficient landing zone nearby."
There is noticeable tremor in the ground beneath your feet and a distant rumbling sound, both of which that cease after a few moments. Then there is a droning sound, faint at first but grows louder until an airship peeks up over the jagged peaks to the east. Fortunately the airship is moving away from you as it climbs into the sky, but is soon followed by a handful of others. From what you can make out of the aero-flotilla, it is made up of a cruiser-class aero-vessel and it's escorts heading eastwards in formation.
As the flotilla moves away, the earth tremor and distant rumbling noise return.
