As the battle continued, more and more refugee ships scrambled aboard. The crew managed to get a good routine going, and processing all of the incoming refugees and calming them down became somewhat easier as time went on.
However, just as the crew was starting to get complacent, things took a turn for the worse.
At one of the refugee checkpoints, where the GIA troopers that had come aboard were running security checks on incoming refugees, a somewhat large group from one of the recently boarded ships approached. Each and every member of the group wore ominous black robes. One of them approached the check point as the rest disregarded them, moving past.
"Could you ask your friends to wait?" the GIA soldier nearest to the one that approached said as he began going over the robed man with a hand scanner. "We have procedures to ensure safety--"
The soldiers eyes went wide for only a moment after his scanner gave a warning.
"THE END COMES!" the man yelled, and in an instant was vaporized along with many of the nearby GIA soldiers and refugees.
"Catastrophists!" a panicked survivor who had witnessed the event yelled out, before one of the other robed men rushed towards them, shoving a knife in their chest.
"The end comes, brothers!" one of the robed mad men yelled as some of the group took their robes off, revealing crude body armor, guns and blades, opening fire on the innocent civilians around them.
Those still wearing their robes appeared unarmed, but the way the rushed forward suggested they were just as dangerous as the others.
The sudden attack caused a massive surge of panic in the mass of refugees, causing them to rush away in a chaotic stampede. It would be a difficult fight to keep the refugees safe and stop these strange mad men--these Catastrophists--from killing everyone.
