Orion's announcement caused turmoil for freshman students...well, most of them at least.
Some of them knew it was coming, they just don't know when. Well, now they have the answer to that. Yet despite expecting it to happen, they were still surprised nonetheless.
In the grand scheme of things, their mission was simple. Wasn't it just a simple patrol mission? How bad could it possibly be? However, these people grew up listening to stories of how terrible the Outer World was.
News flashes of Outer World Exploration Teams returning beaten and battered from their mission always make the headlines whenever they occur. Their stories, the horrors they faced, the sheer difference between this continent and the rest of the world, and how they're grateful to be back even to the extent of sobbing in relief...people have been conditioned to relate the Outer World as something bad because of this.
