''Hypercane Aeolus is holding a steady intensity, and though it made a close enough approach to Beach Alpha to cause some overcast conditions and a few showers, its meandering course shifts to take it away from land. Heading back out to sea, it continues its aimless drifting for thirteen more hours. Then, the unpredictable atmosphere of Frission causes a jet stream near Aeolus to shift, which pushes a high-pressure system straight-on into the storm. Aeolus, finding its path abruptly blocked by a high-pressure system, grinds to a halt, then slowly begins reversing direction as it is pushed back along the path it came from at 65mph.... ''

''As the battle on Beach Alpha descends into chaos, few look up at the sky to see the swirling outer bands change direction and begin moving closer, and none realize the signifigance of this, even when the calm winds abruptly shift direction and begin slowly building in strength. The weather stations pick up on the sudden shift in course and begin issuing Hurricane Warnings for thousands of kilometers of coastal regions centered on Beach Alpha; however, both sides have begun jamming communications to the point where the news just doesn't make it through. For hours the battle rages, both forces oblivious to the monstrous storm bearing down on them. It isn't until ten-foot high waves are crashing onto the beach and the outer bands are already further inland than the coast that some look out to sea and realize what the waves, black, rotating, banded clouds, and distant flickers of lightning mean: Aeolus has reversed course and is bearing straight down on Beach Alpha.
