She had received Ms. Grey's message, and she had, eventually followed. The fact that all of it--the fire, the smoke, the screaming--reminded Dust of the bus explosion was only more reason to be there. She had to make sure that nobody else died today.

Sooraya was harder to reach telepathically once she went into her sand form, but she was much more flexible. As millions of silicate particles, she could reach places no normal human could--and breathing toxic fumes, thankfully, was also not an issue. What she was having problems with were the terrified survivors, horrified at the sight of what they could only assume was more rubble and sand collapsing on top of them. Right now she was with a man and a woman, trapped underneath a practical tent of blasted concrete. The man's leg was broken, and neither had not taken the sight of half a girl's face reforming in front of them particularly well.

"Please," she said, "be calm. You are not hallucinating. My name is Dust, and I am here to help you."

It was at that point that she realized that, despite her promises, she was most likely not able to actually sand any of the concrete away in a way that would not leave it vulnerable to collapsing inward. That would be fine for her, but the survivors... should she call for help? It would certainly be convenient if someone telekinetic just... happened... to be in the area...

Rachel felt the spike of fear and panic and diverted her attention to look through the eyes of the frightened people. Seeing Dust, she quickly put the situation together and using the people as a beacon and headed to their location.

"Dust? I'm going to need you a little more solid."

She moved close to the people and smiled, "Don't mind her, she falls to pieces at the slightest thing. I'm going to look at this rubble and figure out how best to move it okay?" She projected a small amount of calm on them so they wouldn't protest too much.

Looking back at her teammate, she waved her over. "Take shallow breaths, keep your head down, I need you to see if there's any rebar or concrete stabbing them."
