It was at this moment, things would go very wrong for everyone involved.
What's going on underground:100 km east of Sakhatkhorgo. The Namandak Fault, a 120 km long, 25 km deep strike-slip fault stretching east to west had reached its breaking point. 12 km beneath the surface of the mountains east of Sakhatkhorgo. The 2 rock faces slip. The northern side of the fault violently shifted east while the southern side shifted west releasing a catastrophic amount of seismic energy, this would repeat throughout the entire length of the fault with some sections moving as far as 6 meters.

As Orion hikes around the area, oblivious of the action going on underneath him and the fact that his phone cannot receive an earthquake early warning. He continues hiking across the cold, rocky landscape when he hears a loud rumble, followed by the ground violently moving side to side. A nearby seismic station records: 1.43 g's of horizontal acceleration. The shaking would last for a minute. He is the closest character to the epicenter.

Babaev then writes down his contact info and leaves a tip equal to 100 USD for him to split among his employees. He'd then leave and head to the lake to relax
"Thank you very much sir."
As Babaev exits the restaurant. He hears an
alert sound come out from everyone's phone except him. The TV that's playing the news suddenly makes a
chime and a box showing a map of the potentially affected areas of the quake appears.
10 seconds after the alarm, a mild vibration is felt, as if a truck was passing by.
20 seconds after the alarm, the ground violently moves side to side. All the furniture in the restaurant gets dragged across the room. The 5 story office building in front of the restaurant collapses, hitting powerlines and bringing those down, blocking the street and igniting a wooden house nearby on fire. The shaking would continue for another 90 seconds. A nearby seismic station records 0.69 g of horizontal acceleration

He takes a picture of it, but without the flash of course, as it says “DO NOT USE THE FLASH WITHOUT THE FLASH” on the sign. He takes the pictures and heads back to the hotel. The noise of the city comes back, and he looks at the pictures on his phone. When he return to the hotel, he lies on his bed, excausted and tired.
Salman lays down. he feels his bed is vibrating. 10 seconds later the ground violently moves side to side. His bed was displaced several feet from its original place. 20 seconds into the earthquake. The entire room suddently drops by a single floor and leans 20 degrees into the street. The room, while covered in dust is intact. The 1st floor of the building has collapsed and is crushed by the upper floors of the building. A nearby seismic station records 0.93 g of horizontal acceleration.

Armed with a camera, she leaves the hotel and walks through the streets of Sakhatkhorgo.
Francine walks on the main street of Sakhatkhorgo. A charming and crowded street with wide sidewalks and a 6 lane road in the middle. Mid rise apartments, malls and government offices line the sides. This is when she hears this
alert sound come out of everyones pocket. Everyone checks their phone and begins to get away from the buildings. Traffic grinds to a halt. 20 seconds later the ground violently moves side to side. Many are knocked off their feet and others find it very difficult to keep standing. A large sign falls from it's frame on the 6th floor of some building and crashes into the sidewalk. 50 seconds in and the ground is still shaking. It is now possible to stand up but a 10 story office building, 100 meters from where Francine is suddently collapses into a cloud of dust. Cracks appear on the sidewalk and it looks like waves are rippling down the road. A nearby seismic station records 0.89 g of horizontal acceleration.
