Daycycle 117 [ November 27 - December 3 ]

[computerized]

daycycle 117

[Nov 27 - Dec 3]

[OOC Plotting for this Dacycle can be found here.]

Early, Early Morning [0500 - 0800]
Room 1103 will be woken up at 0500 when a squadron of Internal Security Gray Ops come to arrest Felicity Smoak for treason. She will be led away at gun point and her roommates, Isabelle Lightwood and Zatanna Zatara will be immediately taken into IntSec for questioning. They will be questioned separately and intently about the activities of their former roommate, especially since this is the second roommate in three days to be arrested. They will not be released until mid afternoon.

During prisoner check at 0700 this morning, it will be discovered that Parker is among the prisoners being detained. Officials are unsure how she arrived as she was never formally checked into lock up. No one steps forward to claim the prize for her capture.

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

Buffy Summers and Clint Barton, have been selected for today’s mission. Details are below:

‘The Charity Ball made the higher ups realize how shabby the jumpsuits are in comparison. A complex wide initiative to polish up jumpsuits has been initiated. Citizens will bring you their jumpsuits throughout the day. Check clothing for stains, rips and holes and repair damaged clothing onsite.’

Please debrief the computer on the status of your mission by the end of the Daycycle here.

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.

At 1300 the trial for Oliver Queen, Peggy Carter, Parker and Julianne Holtzmann will be held and presided over by honorable VIOLET judge Bethany Abbott. Matt Murdock will be representing those accused of being traitors. The trial is closed, but those Specials wanting to pass information to those on trial may do so through their lawyer. Matt will not discover until the trial that if found guilty, those accused will have their clone immediately terminated. If found innocent, they will be released into Alpha Complex in the morning of the next daycycle. To date, no Special accused of treason has ever been found innocent.

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 be at 1900 in Meeting Room B, Wagon Wheel, Floor 25 and will be hosted by the Monsters & Aliens Club. Come by to witness the longest running roleplaying game in Alpha history and possibly the only true remnant of Alpha creativity.

Alternatively, there will be a wrap party for those that assisted with the Charity Ball behind the scenes. Arrangements for the party have been made by Jack Harkness under Teela O'Malley's supervision. It will be held in the Teela O'Malley studio at 1800.

---

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.

[sanguinescry]

Hearing about weaponized flying armor that essentially fought an army from space may be Tony's conversational hurdle. Lydia's is fighting alongside werewolves and kitsune; being drawn toward finding bodies and having voices in her head. Quite honestly, Lydia doesn't miss it. Whatever the Computer did to her to suppress it, Lydia welcomes that. She's probably one of the only ones here who had powers back home who prefers the way she is here and now without them. Lydia can't even imagine how loud this place would be if she was still a banshee, after all...

Leaning in a little, Lydia listens carefully as Tony explains, her eyebrows lifted with interest as he does. "Makes sense," she agrees over him as he points out that the higher the setting, the stronger the blast, as well as the fact that a lower setting makes less noise. She supposes that's probably true for several technologies, so it shouldn't be hard to remember.

Her eyes widen a little with interest as she looks up at him again. "Do I want to know why you know that...?" she asks, thinking that she probably doesn't.

"Is this something you're thinking of reproducing for other Specials or not so much?" If he isn't, that's fine with her; she hasn't hired him to build weapons for everyone all the time. She's hired him to develop new things out of sight and if they happen to end up being usable by other Specials, then that's a bonus.

Admittedly, Tony's curious as to how Lydia is so accepting of his talk about his armor, and the fact that he has literally found a way to weaponize the energy source in his chest. He likes the fact that he doesn't have to navigate through skepticism, though, and he's thankful for it because Tony would rather drive straight to the point whenever possible.

The way that Lydia's eyes widen in interest as she looks up at him makes him chuckle quietly under his breath, although his own eyes venture down to the gun. "No, you probably don't."

He doesn't know if she knows Bucky, but she knows Steve. He doesn't want to get into how he discovered that he could blast body parts off by blasting Barnes' metallic arm off. Not necessarily on purpose - if he would have wanted to hurt him thatbadly he would have done it from the very beginning - but still. He really doesn't want to talk about that.

Leaving the pistol on the table, he passes a hand along his goatee. "No, not really. I'm making two. One for you, and I'll save the other one. The arc reactor needs a good jolt to bring it to life; it's literally a powerhouse. I can power up two, no problem. More than that... I'm not so sure."

He lets that linger in the air for a moment, the fact that he (or rather, the reactor in his chest) is powering up the pistols, before he shrugs slightly. "If someone is monitoring the energy levels used in this place, we won't be able to justify why we used up so much for it. No one will notice if I do it, and it'll be fine. It's just a jolt."

A very strong one, but whatever. He has dealt with worse.

[sanguinescry]

"I'll take your word for it," Lydia replies, deciding that her suspicion is probably correct. Knowing will only make things confusing. Tony confirms and that's good enough for Lydia. He's one of the few people here with whom she'd trust her life — this Tony might not have been the one to start teaching her self-defense or give her that little blasty thingie, but Tony Stark is Tony Stark, at the end of the day. Just like Allison Argent is Allison Argent, regardless of the hiccup in her memories.

Lydia pauses at his answer. If he's going to give her this, she could probably give her illegal ULTRAVIOLET laser barrel to Allison or Stiles to put on their guns, replacing their crappy RED barrels. Moreover, she could give the YELLOW one to one of them, as well, perhaps. She's also got her ORANGE one, still, too. Maybe she can talk Cisco into giving her one of whatever he's working on to pass on to her friends. Anything he and Tony can come up with is bound to be better than what they're given standard issue, anyway.

"Wait," she says suddenly, as if just now realizing what it is Tony is actually saying. "Wait, wait...you're using that? That doesn't hurt you?" she asks, looking very concerned.

[im_ironman]

There's a moment, however brief, where Tony almost thinks that he's going to get away with saying what he said without protest. And, granted, he can't say he's surprised when it doesn't work. If the roles were reversed, and Lydia was saying she was going to power some weapons with a device that is keeping her alive, he'd probably (definitely) have a few things to say about that.

The main difference is that Tony doesn't exactly have the best self preservation skills - especially now. It's dangerous since powering two reactors isn't an easy task, but he can't bring himself to care. He doesn't have a problem with being an energy source for something that can help the greater good. Well, the greater good being him and Lydia, but still. It's weapons that they need and could use and, considering this environment, it's worth the risk. Absolutely and completely. Is it risky? Yeah, sure. Does Tony care? No. Not really.

That is why, even if he's trying to not just ignore her concern, he still shrugs as if it's not a big deal. "I mean, I'll probably have to take it easy after I'm done just while my arc reactor recovers, but nah. It should be fine."

Honestly, the only reason he's bringing it up is because he knows he'll have to use this lab instead of the one in HQ to accomplish all this. Mainly because he's avoiding a certain someone, and the last thing he wants to do is freak Lydia out if she were to walk in on it.

"I've used the reactor as an energy source before," he assures her. "It's fine, Lydia."

[sanguinescry]

Lydia frowns slightly with concern, but she isn't going to push it. Tony's a grown man and he can make his own decisions. She'd be livid if someone tried to tell her not to open True Alpha because it was too dangerous, and honestly, doing so was probably too dangerous and continues to be. As much as it puts a spotlight on her that could help protect her, it could also highlight the target already on her back and she knows it. So she gives him a little sigh of disapproval, but she nods all the same.

"As long as it isn't going to hurt you, Tony, because I need you in good shape. We all need you in good shape, both of you," she says, nodding over in Cisco's direction as he lifts what also looks like some sort of pistol in the air and turns it over in his hands before setting it back down. That's curious…

Her eyes move back to Tony. "Is there a way to replicate that reactor so that we have a second one on hand to charge the weapons without draining you? Because I'll be honest, I'd really prefer that…"
