Every action has equal and opposite reaction, this is true for physics and for people. For most these reactions are very minutiae and irrelevant to world around them. But occasionally someones actions can shape the world they live in. Today we'll be seeing the reactions to the actions the a few people committed and thought for the best.
We begin with Arc Long exploring the frigid wastes of tundra that separate the ever expanding necropolis the undead of Solis call home from the rest of the factions. As he trudged through the knee high snow a storm started to pick up, whirling furies of snow everywhere dropping visibility significantly. Unbeknownst to him though he wasn't the only thing out in the storm.
Then there is Kaldran as he sits through routine maintenance of his cybernetics. He is a one of a kind sight in this metal "utopia". Most citizens ignore his presence or simply see it as an example of what the great scientist of Alloyin can accomplish.
Lastly we have Galen 2 conducting one of his many "out there" experiments in some long forgotten cave system deep into Nekrium territory but above the threshold of the Uterra caverns.

Snow whirled through Arc's vision, causing him to see a mirage of what could be buildings or just dark clouds in his horizon. He trudged on, bitter from his recent loss at Kadras, hoping to find something to make him stronger.

Galen 2 stands up and wipes the blood and dirt from his hands. He adjusts his robe and chants an incantation. After a moment this creature springs to life "your name is Bartholomew. Now speak Bartholomew" After a few grunts Galen 2 raises a clam shell to his mouth " Spell notes the subject appears to have all function of attached limbs. The wolf body parts and the serpent tail all seem to be interacting well with the other organs. However attaching a human tongue has no affect and does not give the ability of speech.......noted......it also appears not to understand what I am saying. I will monitor intelligence and it's motor skills wait..........ok it definitely isn't understanding that im talking about...him?....her?.....it?.......Bartholomew. Ok day one Galen 2 out for now." he puts the clam safely into a pouch and stand up straight. "ok Bartholomew you have one job to drink the blood of our enemies. Ok got it? Lets go explore" Bartholomew and Galen 2 began walking though the caverns

Kaldran finishes the maintenance of his cybernetics and sets out for a new adventure once more. Hoping to find a reason to keep fighting.

As Arc trudged onward a few reavers slowly followed him under the cover of the storm, stalking him and waiting for a moment to strike. But before they fond their opportune moment a large explosion erupts behind all of them that shook everything and could be heard over the storm.
While Kaldran was making his way through the Oreian district of the metal city, a similar explosion occurs on the south wall of the city. Military personal all over the city scramble to asses the damage and to start fighting back whatever caused the breach.
For Galden though, nothing as spectacular occurred during the beginning of his reaction. For him the explosions happening all over Solis just caused a cave in, followed by the floor giving way for him and his "pet" to fall into a algae infested swamp in a secluded area of the Uterran sanctuary.

Arc spun around quickly to catch sight of the explosion in the distance. He grit his teeth as cold mucus dripped over his lips. He spit sharp, green icesicles into the snow. A low growl, rumbled through his chest and throat as he squinted and darted off in that direction to investigate.

"Well that was inconvenient. No matter I home Bartholomew knows surf" Galden 2 climbs onto Bartholomew's back and says "take us to land Bartholomew!" With a few wiggles Bartholomew begins steadily swimming towards the nearest land

Kaldran looked to the explosion and the commotion and ran towards it hoping he could offer assistance.

As Arc darted towards the explosion he ran into the reapers that were waiting to ambush him. The look at him unblinking, one raising its scythe, the other preparing to intercept a dodge. When Kaldran arrived at the blast zone he and the others found no one attacking and but fairly large crater and lot of clean up. As clean up crews arrive a messenger walks up to Kaldran and gives him a letter from the council, then runs off to help. The letter requests him to make an immediately appearance in front of the council to discuss something extremely important about the explosion. Galden arrives on land and finds no life other than flora, and a few insects.

Galen 2 makes a decent size whole in the ground. He then picks up 2 larger insects that he had never seen before and drowns them both. He puts them both in the hole says a small incantation and the 2 insects spring back to life. " ok now fight to the death the winner goes free. Who do you think will win Bartholomew? My money is on the littler one with the huge spike." The insects duke it out in a bloody cage match leaving the bigger one victorious. Galen 2 looks back towards Bartholomew "Well I guess you win this one Bartholomew. Ok insect you can be free if you beat the champion. Here he is now" Galen 2 lifts his boot and with one hard stop squashes the insect. "Well better luck next time little guy.......ok Bartholomew let's go figure out where that shake came from earlier" the two begin walking towards where the rubble seems to get worse.

Kaldran looks at the letter and heads straight to the council chambers hoping to find a reason to this madness.

Arc growled and smashed his knuckles together, forming an icy, shapeless mass on his fist. He swung it to clash with the scythe, hoping it would get stuck inside.
He chuckled lightly and licked his teeth, coating them in saliva, which he quickly froze, forming sharp, jagged blades over his teeth. He bent his arm quickly and stuck his body in close to the reaper, readying himself to take a chomp into its neck.
What to do with the second one, though?

Arc's ice "glove" connected with the scythe and stuck to it, when he bent his arm the scythe arm came with him but the reaver stayed put trying to pull back. The other starts to swing at Arc from behind. Kaldran enters the chamber and finds the 3 academy leaders, a heavily augmented man with a large hammer leaning against the table next to him, and an unknown metamind sitting together discussing what just happened outside. When the doors close behind Kaldran the council stops and looks over. "Ah glad to see you could join us Mr. Kaldran, please come join us. We were just discussing how this incident occurred without us know about it ahead of time to stop it." Say the head of the Academy of War. The current leader is a metamind named Drix. He has garnered a reputation for being all business all the time, as well almost always wearing a large enhancement suit that nearly double his size. Galen finds a large pile of rubble below an even large hole in the ceiling a couple of yards away from his make-shift gladiatorial arena. No discernible cause can be determined from what he can see.

Arc's teeth smashed together and he grunted roughly, blood dripping onto the snow. He formed the blood into ice and spit sharp icesicles at the creature's eyes. He swiftly flicked snow into the air behind him by raising his foot and solidifying the snow to form ice around his foot, aiming right for the creature's chin.

Galen 2 comes up to the pile and looks around. "Well Bartholomew that idea came to a tumbling stop hehehe get it get it? Well any ways did I give you hawk eyes? Hmmmm I can't remember well look with your special.......or not special eyes. See anything worth exploring?" Galen 2 continues to examin the hole in the ceiling
