Zelda looks distracted. That's never a good sign.

"What's wrong?" Shion asks, hurriedly and much more breathlessly than she'd like as she rushes closer. Now's not the time for comparisons of well-adjustedness or capability to mask, but she still can't help seeing her breathlessness (nerdy, out of shape [but in a nerdy way]) versus Zelda's (beautiful, goddesslike [but in a science-boffin way]). Too many things on her mind to even swear about it.

Anyway.

Zelda's finally shaken out of reverie enough to inform Shion, firmly: "The readings are no longer within a safe range.

"We've got to do something. Now."
