Maki was right outside the base when she heard- and felt -the explosion. She ducked inside the decrepit old office building and began taking stock of who was in the base and who wasn't. Whenever explosions happened, the Flames were always the first to be blamed for the incident.

She climbed a few floors up and gazed out of a broken-out window. She had expected the smoke and flames, but not for them to look so odd. "There were chemicals used in that explosion- chemicals we don't use," she muttered. A few of the other Flames on the same floor around her began muttering amongst one another, wondering who or what had caused such destruction.

Maki called for nobody to be allowed to leave the base until the commotion died down. "If anyone tries to leave for the next few hours, I'll kick your ass! An explosion like that is going to have everyone out on a damn witch hunt for us Flames."
