[ Drake's never been conscious of a transition before -- not from his world to Hadriel or any of the "simulations" within, or from Hadriel to New Amsterdam -- so it's completely terrifying as he feels his mind being pulled from his body. It's almost like being slammed back into one when he comes to in the simulation, hot knowing what's happening. He pats himself down and feels normal, but for all he knows this is a new body in another new place.
Calm down, he tells himself, this is probably a trick. That's how places like this work. Okay. He's still himself, he can figure out what's going on.
Like Maine but far more in control of his fear and anger, Drake heads 'outside' to see that they're underground. Well, isn't that familiar? Okay, first things first, he needs to find his people, make sure that this is the kind of thing he thinks it is and not-- oh shit.
There's someone shoving through the crowd of confused civilians (or so they seem?) storming straight up to one of the managerial types giving out assignments. They probably have no real power, and Drake doesn't see any weapons, but he doesn't know enough about what's going on to be sure and there are a bunch of them around... and he recognizes the furious figure that looks like he's about the pummel this manager into the hard ground. ]
Jónsson!
[ He rushes over, trying to get Maine's attention, for all he knows trying to save him from being put down as a threat. ]
