Clearing bodies is just one of the grim tasks firefighters and medical personnel are performing in the city of Vallum tonight. Remains are being taken to indoor gun ranges, hielae (throwball courts) — any nearby intact buildings with enough open space to accommodate the dead. Even citizens outdoors at the time of the impact were not spared — the sudden blast was enough to burst organs and eardrums in a phenomenon called overpressure. “It’s like tossing explosives into a lake,” explains Lieutenant Razun Scartos. “You don’t need shrapnel to get a lot of dead fish.” Meanwhile, nearby hospitals are full to the brim with the living — at least 4,500 turians managed to limp or carry one another to nearby Haemona Medical Center, which previously had capacity for only 1,500.
