[Johnny's sitting awkwardly in front of the console in his suite.]

Why is no one freaking out about this? From the sounds of it, all of our powers are gone. Just like that. [He snaps. No flame appears. He throws his hands up in frustration.]

Seriously. There should be alarms going off. People should be taking blood samples and looking at ours cells. Someone should be creating some sort of system to track different.. I don't know.. thermal.. geo.. radio... something. Is it a sun spot? Aliens? We have no idea, because we're all sitting around trying.

Something's coming. Great. That might be the cause, but if it's not? We should probably figure this whole no-powers thing out before it gets here.

[He looks down at his hand and shakes it, as one might shake a Nintendo controller when the game glitches. He stops shaking it. Nothing happens.]

Oh COME ON!

It's been observed before, whenever those with powers, any sort of powers, have moved away from the turtle. Not inside the city, but with the rationing situation?

Yeah, those who've been around for ether of the landfalls aren't really surprised. That's all. Sorry that I can't bring better news.

I'm hearing that from others too, but I'm wondering if maybe it has nothing to do with peoples' distance from Clyde and everything to do with this kind of.. dampening technology existing everywhere else.

That might've made sense for that city we stopped at last. Not for the wasteland. You can't cover that kinda area with dampening technology, in that place? It'd just get broken down by the weather and creatures.

'sides, that wouldn't go for the food and such. They also depend on the turtle.

I'm not saying he's not sick. I'm just trying to figure out if they're related.

It's the best bet we've got.

Hey, maybe you'll get lucky and he'll show up to tell you, one way or the other.

Maybe.

Let me know if you find anything, Bucky.

[trainwrecked]

Will do! You, too?

Yeah, of course. Thanks.

No problem.
