"Machines Don't Sleep"

The words seemed to reverberate around the room as everyone took in the full extent of the danger.

Ichigo started to follow Karin's example, screaming at Urahara, but was stopped by his dad who simply called for two people, making Urahara look terrified.

"Yoruichi! Unohana!"

A smirk appeared on their faces as the two appeared in the room and Urahara was surrounded. Isshin quickly explained the situation to the two and they dealt with him quickly. Covered in bruises and bandages, he was sent back to the Shouten with strict orders to prepare gigai and equipment for everyone present as well as almost the whole of 4th division, who he would also be transporting from Soul Society as soon as possible. Not only that but he would also be doing it for free.

Unohana agreed to allocate some of her division to help Isshin before leaving to make arrangements. Then Isshin turned to Ishida, who had been dragged there along with all his other friends he had found, and begged him to be the doctor in charge in the second room. The rest were then also commandeered into service, some as nurses to help in the treatment rooms and getting supplies, some as runners for messages, some as receptionists, and others for lifting and carrying injured into either the clinic or the house. They would be supervised by Yuzu (who would look after the humans in the clinic) and Karin (who would look after the shinigami in the house). Ichigo was pushed unceremoniously out to fight hollows, on the basis that he wasn't any use as healing staff.

Elsewhere, Yoruichi and Soi Fon stood surrounded by the Onmitsukidō and the remaining seated officers in division 2. They all watched as the towers descended and Urahara reversed his technique. Gradually, the real town phased back with the people and accident after accident appeared. They stood unphased, their mission was simple. To defend all plus souls from hollows and cleanse them as quickly as possible. It was clear why they had been chosen for this task as they jumped down to pavement level to begin their mission. Speed.

As they split up and sped to send along the souls Yoruichi regarded the devastation, a single stray thought passing through her mind.

Kisuke, what have you done?

It was a thought shared by many, especially Ryuken Ishida who cursed all shinigami from where he stood on the top floor of the hospital. He turned to the desk in his office and picked up the phone.

The phone rang at the Kurosaki clinic. Isshin picked it up while Uryu helped him into his coat.

"Understood." was the only thing he said, swiftly followed by the phone slamming down.

"What overflow will be sent here?" Uryu said, pulling on a matching coat

"Anything more serious than a fracture, bar surgery. The first cases will be here in a few minutes. Priority is our discretion, Yuzu deals with that."

"Yuzu isn't squeamish?"

"Heh" Isshin grinned "Her own injuries she cries like a baby, anyone else's no problem. Karin's the opposite."

The two nodded at each other, sirens loud in the background, and then walked from Isshin's office into pandemonium.
