Pax seems contemplative as he ignores Comstock as irrelevant and focuses on the mega-flattery offered by Impetus. While he didn't like Impetus stealing all the attention, he was right, and the shape he was in he obviously wasn't saying it to get attention... after all, who wants to be on camera looking like that?
"Hmm. You have a couple of points there Imp. Good job son, maybe you should have a team of your own one of these days."
He flips on his headset and send out a message to his team.
Alright everyone, slight change of plans here; slow it down, and take it carefully. We wouldn't want anyone to needlessly get hurt, and people that aren't dead already will likely be able to survive at least a day in the rubble. And the world would certainly appreciate us working our asses off and playing it safe. Pax out.
Turning back to Imp and Comstock, he says
"Well, what you staring at metal man? Get your team back to work. Oh, and Impetus, you might get that nose bleed looked at."
Poor guy. He erupted with all the looks, but no substance. We'll have to watch out for the little guy, make sure he stays out of harm's way... too valuable to lose influence like his... long as he knows who his leaders are...

Its amazing what successes in the teens can do for you.
At Solitaire's broadcast, Pax begins looking for the nova activity she was talking about.

Gravitas receives the team chat, processing it in the back of his mind as he works to extricate the survivors in the animal shelter. His efforts are largely successful. Aside from a little tearing of the impaled man's intestines, he's able to get everyone out intact. The building doesn't even collapse when he leaves, so the animals survive for the time being.

Zero doesn't notice the nova's presence right off, but after having Sol point it out and dashing over to the rest of the team's location, his quantum sense picks up the presence from earlier moving away rapidly.

Gale notes that the disturbance in the ground is in an area that the cage was touching the broken asphalt, and in that spot the material is pushed up, as though something reached out of the ground there. But not forcefully, and the asphalt seems oddly... shimmery, like part of it is metallic. Perhaps the chemical structure is changed?

Flare manages to help the people in camp get set up, and her presence calms the crowd a bit, knowing that T2M:A is on the scene (and that there is a nova there to respond to any violent overtures keeps the crowd a bit more level headed). Between Sol, Imp, and Comstock, the majority of the radiation was contained, so no rad poisoning or burns are present, but plenty of crushing wounds and crush syndrome victims need help

Flare helps stabilize the worst wounds, but is quickly exhausted. Like Impetus, before long she will be pulling on her own body's resources to heal the injured.
