Early Morning [0800 - 0900] — All Troubleshooters Report for Duty

No Special Troubleshooters have been selected for a mission this morning.

---

Morning & Afternoon [0900 - 1600] — Service Firm Positions
All Troubleshooters not assigned a mission should report to their Service Firm for their daily duties, unless specifically assigned a different shift.

Free Enterprise is pushing a new, adjusted street form of No Fear (Dynomorphin). The original pharmaceutical is meant for those in Ultraviolet ranks, but this form is much dirtier, cheaper and more addictive. In order to get people hooked, they've put a healthy dose in the wagon wheel's ORANGE and RED level coffee-like supplies. The drug causes a very bullet proof feeling of euphoria. Side effects include paranoia, hallucinations, increased sociability, increased sex drive, panic attacks, excited delirium - extreme agitation and violence, and the temporary loss of feeling in nerve endings (inability to feel pain). A standard dose lasts four hours. Withdrawal symptoms include nosebleeds, sweating, nausea, dehydration and blinding migraines. For those that want more of the drug, Free Enterprise will make it easily accessible.

At 1200, a squad of Grey Ops will arrive at Medical Services to escort Caitlin Snow away for suspected treason. Anyone asking for additional information will be told it's classified and warned not to continue asking questions. Approximately fifteen minutes later another squad of Grey Ops will arrive at Internal Security to lead Vision away. Anyone asking for additional information will be given the same party line.

At 1400 today, Jack Harkness will be summoned by Mind Control to the Production offices on the twenty fifth floor. There he will be offered a position in Media Production where he will assist with the Teela O'Malley show. This position will come with a clearance level promotion of ORANGE, since the talk show star doesn't associate with anyone of lower clearance level. Jack will be responsible for ramping up the excitement levels of the live audience and the personal entertainment of the star.

All Alpha citizens are encouraged to better themselves through Alpha’s wide variety of educational, entertainment and cultural opportunities offered each evening. Attending these sanctioned events are not mandatory, but is highly encouraged by The Computer.

Alpha Curfew Restrictions
All Alpha citizens should be in their quarters within the Wagon Wheel by 2200, unless they’ve been given permission from a GREEN or higher clearance level citizen. Sleeping Aid gas is dispelled each night in the Wagon Wheel at 2200 to assist citizens in getting a productive sleeping period.

Confession Booths
There are hundreds of confession booths available around Alpha Complex if a citizen would like to communicate directly with the computer. Please use these confession booths to report mission statuses, report treason or terrorist acts, unregistered mutants, confess your trespasses against Alpha Complex, request propaganda or speak with Your Friend, The Computer, at any time.

Wait. What? Derek is waiting for Buffy? Are they together? As in together together? Unfortunately, that's the way Alcide takes that. And in that case, that's just great. He'd kind of had sex with his roommate's girl earlier, in the hallway, for everyone to see. If this isn't an episode of Days of Our Lies, he doesn't know what is.

Also, maybe there's a surprising twinge of jealousy there. Which makes no sense since he's only known Buffy a day and a half. It's stupid so he pushes that away and just lets it be. He can't help it if Buffy and Alcide are a couple. He also can't change what happened in the hallway earlier even if he wishes he could rewind and get a do over.

In any case, he's glad that Derek seems to take his outburst in stride, another reason to like the guy even if whatever's wrong with him is working hard to make Alcide himself very unlikable on all fronts.

"What are you doin' when you're stayin' up all night?" He asks. "You don't get caught?"

[duelo]

Closing his eyes and trying to get comfortable on an uncomfortable mattress, Derek takes a deep breath. He doesn't really know if he can trust this guy yet and that alone would normally make him say something rude like maybe Alcide should mind his own goddamned business. After Vision was arrested, Derek's learned that he needs to be more careful with what he says and to whom. He just has to hope that wherever they took the red man, he doesn't run off at the mouth about Derek talking about memories over glitches; werewolves over humans.

But this chill mood has overtaken him and loosened his lips. In too many ways, really, but at least with Alcide it's just talking.

"We explore," he says with a shrug. "So far we haven't gotten caught. Can't say that'll be true forever, but for now? We've been pretty lucky, so far." His eyes open for a moment and he looks back at the other man. "Tell her to wake me up when it's time? She'll know what you mean," he asks. If Buffy could wake him up before the vents open, so he could put on the gas mask, then he'll be fine. If she can't or forgets, she's on her own for the night.

Alcide makes himself sit on the side of his bed, leans forward to rest his elbows on his knees and laces his fingers together. He takes a slow, deep breath to try to calm the energy inside that has nowhere to go. Derek looks like he's resting well, calm and collected. Alcide is having a problem with that. But he's trying, really, in spite of the ridiculous upset that Derek and Buffy are a thing. It's better that he knows now, anyway.

"I'll tell her." He tells Derek with a nod. Buffy will wake Derek up and Alcide will... man the fort until they get back.

He wants to ask if they've found anything interesting in their night time explorations, but it looks like Derek is done with the conversation and Alcide doesn't want to push having just met the guy. Especially after his own outburst and the chill way Derek had handled it. He can ask Buffy later. There's also a small part of him that wonders if 'explore' is code for something else.

"I'll let you rest until then. Sorry for the... you know." That thing he did.

[duelo]

"Thanks, man, I appreciate it," Derek replies. He'd feel worse about passing out on the guy if he hadn't just lost his shit for a second over something dumb. Derek's not in a crappy mood, for a change, and he'd like to keep it that way, so calling the conversation done before it gets ugly again seems like the best course of action. Especially since they still have to live together.

If he had any idea what Alcide thought Derek actually meant by "exploring," he'd probably laugh himself to death. Buffy's a gorgeous woman and Derek isn't blind, but at the end of the day, she's her world's equivalent of a hunter. He's learned his lesson already when it comes to mingling romantically or sexually with hunters when one is a werewolf. Buffy isn't Kate, not by a long shot, but he's got it in his head anyway. Being friends with her is awesome, but he's got no interest in anything more than that.

"No, it's cool, man. Don't worry about it," he tells the other man. "G'night. See you probably tomorrow." He assumes. After that, Derek rolls away and closes his eyes to let himself drift off.
