Lockdown

A Random Event Production

“This is a secure area. All non-essential personnel are to report to their designated emergency shelter. All visitors are to be directed to the basement emergency shelter.

“This facility is now in Lockdown.”

-----

Is it a terrorist attack? A drill? False alarm? Who knows…

People going about their business, doing whatever it was they were supposed to be doing. No common link other than location, and now crammed together for an unknown duration. Sit down, relax, stay calm. The room is secure, they guarantee that. The people? That’s another matter…

Lockdown is a freeform for 13 individuals who happened to be in the wrong government building at the wrong time.
