[Jan 29 - Feb 4]

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

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

No Specials will be selected for a mission today.

---

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

At 0900, Allison Argent will be reassigned to Armed Forces' Very Special Forces firm under Steve Rogers.

At 1300, VIOLET judge Bethany Abbott will be discovered dead in her chambers. Her death will ultimately be ruled murder by poisonous gas. Mind Control will immediately begin running coverage on her accomplishments, including the controversial decision less than a week ago to drop the treason charges against Oliver Queen and Parker and return them to Alpha. Once again, the letters "MOD" will be found at the crime scene. This time carved across Abbott's desk underneath her slumped body.

Gracie Cannell will be pulled from her blog to cover the breaking news due to her Special status.
News of the murder will spread like wildfire across Alpha, inciting fear in higher clearance citizens because VIOLET citizens were believed to be untouchable. In lower clearance citizens, the event will be enough to get ASS vocal again. Within hours there will be anti-special messages spray painted across Alpha.

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 1800 in the Wagon Wheel, floor 25, Room H and will be held by the Extreme Ironing Club. This group is for those Alpha citizens who can't get their uniforms wrinkle-free enough. (Though anyone who may attend this incredibly boring sounding meeting, will actually find an established Free Enterprise dice game in progress instead.)

During the dinner rush, at 1900 a group of twenty ASS members in masks and armed with steel bars will form a brief demonstration in the Commissary in which they chant "Down with Specials." If there happens to be any Specials present in the Commissary at that time, they will attack them with malice.

---

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

[preemptiveforgiveness]

No, Matt expect Alcide to be a little dazed. He's talking more incapacitated rather than simply stunned. Because he expects Alcide to be stunned, he'd wanted to try and watch his back until he recovered.

Matt still isn't entirely used to being recognized because of his jumpsuit or otherwise. He forgets all about the colors of the jumpsuits sometimes simply because he can't see them. He's tucked his sunglasses inside his jumpsuit in hopes of saving them so Alcide may notice that Matt's brown eyes don't focus on him, or anything really. Matt isn't working for the Computer, not at all. He's fighting the Computer, but he's doing it as sneakily as possible in an attempt to help the Specials here, to help everyone really, but he's focused on the Specials because they often get the raw end of the deal. If Alcide has ever noticed some of the food down in HQ, a part of that food is his and Steve's because they both want to share the fruits, vegetables and other fresh food that their level affords them. Matt still eats Soylent every day for lunch so that he can share a portion of his food with the Specials. Of course, the Computer doesn't know that he does that. He is definitely not on the Computer's side. He's just sneaky about it.

"Good," Matt says, turning just as the man comes at them. Before he can locate the man and step in, Alcide stops him. "Thanks," he tells him then goes to answer his question. "If I had to guess, A. S. S. Anti-Specials Society. I also believe they're responsible for a lot of the anti-Special violence going on lately." Like the bomb in Matt's office, the bullet Steve took, the judge that was found murdered this morning.

Sometimes Alcide thinks he gets so tunnel visioned that he doesn't see things around him that he probably should. Everyone else seems to be so much more 'in the know' than him when it comes to all the different organized groups that he's recently heard about. Free Enterprise, Very Special Forces, and now Anti Specials Society. All of it, he thinks, is the Computer's way of pitting them against each other when they should all be working together against the Computer.

If Alcide were more of a leader, he'd try harder to get everyone to see things that way. He abjoured himself from Pack Master long ago though. He can be Alpha, he doesn't want to be though. Maybe he should quit fighting it and do something about all the tensions in the Complex.

Whatever his thoughts, he had no clue about an organization called Anti Specials Society until just now. "They really oughta rethink that name. It spells ASS." Just a bit of levity in an otherwise messy situation. "So far, kind of appropriate though."

He pushes another man back before grabbing him by his shirt and slamming him up against the wall. He pulls his face mask off so he can see his face. "We're not your fuckin' enemy, you dumb ass piece of shit!" He growls the words out, then slams the man back against the wall to knock him out so that he slides down to the floor.

[preemptiveforgiveness]

Well, Matt has been here a long while and he is legal defense. He's done a lot of research on various things and heard a lot of talk. Alcide probably isn't wrong about this being a way to divide people, but he's not entirely sure that it's all the Computer's doing. He thinks that people are good at dividing themselves, at fighting each other. The Computer probably doesn't help at all though.

Unfortunately, Matt thinks it's going to take more than one person to pull everyone together, particularly the Alphas. They're going to have to find an alpha that's interested in helping.

They've made an impression then? Matt smirks at Alcide's comment. "Yeah. I'm not sure they thought that through, or maybe as you pointed out, they did."

That's one way to handle it, and not a bad one. "Let's hope that message actually gets through," he says as he reaches out blindly, trying to grab an approaching attacker and toss him to the floor, smacking the guys head against the floor as he does. He's much more sloppy at this than he would have been back home, but he's still go the fighting skills.
