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.

Matt Murdock's office will be assigned to defend the most recent Specials accused of treason. He will not be allowed to contact the traitors directly, but he will be given the task of preparing his cases. He has 48 hours to prepare.

Jack Harkness has been selected to plan the entertainment for tonight's Charity Ball, thanks to the popularity of his performances during the Alpha Talent Show a few days ago. When he asks The Computer for help, several specials are assigned to him. Izzy Lightwood will be his event planning assistant and "Stiles" Stilinski will assist in MCing the night's event. Due to their popularity, all Specials will be approached about being auctioned off for dances in order to help raise money by Jack, Izzy and Stiles. They will also be asked if they're willing to take part in specially planned choreographed dances. Dance lessons will be provided for those that require them during the afternoon hours.

Evening [1600 - 2200] — Citizen Improvement
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. Citizens choosing not to take advantage of these opportunities, have a growing number of other options available to them in how to spend their hard earned credits and free time.

Tonight’s event will begin at 1800 at the Alpha Museum of Fine Art and will be hosted by The Humanists Alpha Society for the Arts. Tickets to the event are 1000cr and can be bought up until an hour before the event begins. Attendees have been given special permission to wear Old Reckoning clothing for this event only, as long as it is the same color as their clearance level. Specials may notice that many of the Alpha Citizen's outfits have gotten key parts of Old Reckoning clothing wrong, with buttons instead of sequins, for example, or men wearing ties that are much too long and go to their knees. Alpha's Very Special Forces will be present to ensure the safety of those attending.

An entire wing of the museum has been cleared as a makeshift dance floor. In an attached room there are several tables covered in white tablecloths and set with the crystal and china that usually only graces Violet citizen tables. Along the wall is a massive buffet made with real food and including an elaborate ice sculpture. There is a bar in the corner where Alpha's finest spirits are being disbursed freely. For the first hour, the focus is on the food and mingling. The music playing is calming and instrumental. There are some that steal the dancefloor for a slow spin, but the majority of the attendees seem reluctant to move away from the buffet.

And then at approximately 1900, Jack Harkness will take the stage and begin the evening's real entertainment.

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.

Comments

[duelo]

Derek nods. That's what he's thinking, too, exactly. Their morale is up from tonight and their bodies are being more thoroughly nourished through actual food rather than coked up soylent, so the performance will be up from today's and yesterday's logs. "Yeah, 'Friend' Computer offered to put more shit in the soylent when I suggested it wasn't nutritious enough and I had to change tack because that's the fucking last thing we need is more shit in the soylent. Because it's not bad enough. So yeah, good call."

Though when she continues, sounding amused, Derek's eyes narrow with frustration. "I was thinking more Steve's fans, or all of us collectively, but when you're finished being cute about it, maybe you can look at it the way I am: people are talking about us — all of us. They want to know us, they want to be like us, they want us around and they like us. They can't all be lower level citizens if Steve is Mr. #27 or whatever those stupid posters all over the place boast. So we cater to them. You never know if someone way up the chain might think they're in love with you," he says, frowning and looking rather annoyed at her teasing. "So we exploit their interest. Make them useful."

His eyes shift away from her again and he's still put out that he's not entirely sure she's taking him seriously, but as far as Derek is concerned, the fact of the matter is that those stupid chat logs are anonymous, or at least they have been up to this point. For all they know, someone at the very tip top has been squealing like a school girl in them and once they feel they've been noticed and appreciated, they might be inclined to bend some rules just for their favorite Special, whoever he or she might be. Quite frankly, Derek is hoping that the favorite is not, in fact, him.
