c/w police violence and named NPC death (1:21:30 to 1:25:46. If you skip the description but want the facts, check below episode notes), natural disaster (earthquake)

\\n

\\u201cThose moments were just a glimpse though. They\\u2019d soon be brought to an end. Disaster brings out the best in communities, and the worst in authority.\\u201d I can\\u2019t remember if it was Serrivomer or Boctive that said that, but either way, those words would prove prophetic.\\u201d

\\n

For a week after the earthquake, the people of Atrium, Calvary, Hinter and Holm are left to fend for themselves. Absent of the council\\u2019s attention, community effort, and grassroots organising help them to recover from the earthquake.

\\n

As the earthquake\'s effects make themselves known, the Jubilant Maybe spend time helping their community\'s efforts. They fix infrastructure, secure food, help out their families, and give people a way to relax.

\\n

This strange lull won\\u2019t last though; the void of authority is temporary. It\\u2019s no surprise when they move to take back what\\u2019s theirs.
