Midway through your flight to Gralus, you feel the plane beginning to turn. A voice crackles over the intercom. "Flight AK474J to Shelsa, this is your captain speaking. Due to unforseen difficulties this flight has been cancelled." "Unforseen difficulties?" one of the passengers roared. "They can't do this - I paid good erb for this flight." The captain seemed to have realised this would be the response, and spoke again. "Gralus is ... gone. Just gone. Look out your windows, if you don't believe me." Immediately, there was the sound of window covers being pulled up, and then the gasps, and then the screams. You look out the window to see ... empty land. Where the lands of Gralus should be there is a hole, going about a hundred metres down from the land on the border, and from then on is flat dirt. Perfectly flat, as if it had been cut out by a knife, going straight up to the border, and not a millimetre further. "We have received permission from Livlandia International Airport to land there," the Captain continued. "If you were transferring from Gralus to another destination, then on behalf of Global Airways I can assure you that flights will be arranged for you from Livlandia International Airport at the earliest possible time, at no further cost to yourself. If Gralus was your final destination ... I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. But there's nothing we can do." |
OOC: Sorry, I realised I'd never copied this over. This is a garbled version from memory.
