It Blew Up

*Couch, cough, cough...* 

Sometime later, Vaz, Clinbay, Levid, and everyone else stepped out of the chamber. At the moment, they looked terrible. Ragged clothes, messy hair, bruises, if it looked like it would fit, then it would probably be there. It was obvious that although the chamber resisted the impact of the explosion, it wasn't a very nice place to be a moment ago. 

Clinbay then looked around and couldn't help but ask, "What happened? Why didn't we get shot into the barrier?"

Vaz, as well as the other Formation Masters, looked at each other. None of them seemed to know the answer at all. In any case, Vaz could think about a possibility. "As you know, this formation was a mess in itself. We finished building it, but there had never been a guarantee it would work. It seems like we failed."
