BLACKOUT ENDED!
The end was no where near as dramatic as the beginning.
A soft whirl of equipment coming back to life, the brightness of lamps and lights left on and like that, the power was back. There may have been a few surges as the grids stabilized but no ominous messages.
After a few hours, there would be a broadcast from a government official across the television stations, radios and network to all affected cities. A sharply dressed woman, introducing herself as a press secretary, would start by offering the government's sincere gratitude to the imPorts who pitched in and assisted during the trying week.
Likewise she would say there is confirmation that the blackout was due to outside interference, but the government would like to assure the people that their highest intelligence is on the case while emphasizing that if this was a test for the American people, they passed it with aplomb. She would also offer assurance that there were efforts now under way, by the government, to ensure that there would be no repeat of such an event.
With the good news, comes a bit of bad as she would go on to warn the people that while many of the convicts were caught due to the hard work of government officials, volunteers and imPorts alike, many of them remain at large - everyone should practice caution in the upcoming weeks and report any suspicious activity to an official.
Finally she would reiterate the government's gratitude and encourage everybody to rest and recover. The message ends with more gratitude and then shuts off to allow people to get back to the business of clean-up.
[OOC: With this post the blackout event has ICly ended!
Just a reminder that you can still submit event log threads for an OOC follow up next month! We will accept threads logged up through February 1st. ]

For those of you who are new enough that this was the first- [Sabriel pauses, looking for the right word as a morbid smile spreads over her face.] incident that you've experienced here, then I should apologize- unless you're quickly ported out, it won't be the last one.
