For once in your life, you might be a little bit scared.
Your conversation with Eighis didn't exactly go as expected. You have the game now, yes, but you're still rather concerned about the condition of your friend Arinna. You continuously tried to contact her for upwards of an hour, and even two, but there's still no response. "She might just be asleep", you've tried telling yourself, "she'll be on eventually". But the more you think about it, the less you feel like that's the case.
Frustrated with the situation, you'd gone out to the terrace in order to stargaze, because stargazing always helps you calm down. The skies over your hive are clear, though you can see the deep red Alterian clouds on the edge of the horizon. "What's going to happen," you might've asked the stars, "everybunny seems so worried. But it's just a game, isn't it?" The stars don't have much of an answer for you - just to peek through your astronomoscope at the clouds in the distance.
Fiddling with the contraption for a few moments, you manage to set it to give a more local view; that is, looking many miles off into the distance as opposed to light-years.
The meteors haven't reached your hive yet, but you doubt it'll be very long before they do. Reluctantly, you collapse your astronomoscope and captchalogue it (because if meteors are going to hit your hive then you bet you're going to save at least THAT) and retreat to your computer.
