[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.

Alcide doesn't suffer fools lightly, he never has. And these people, the ASS members, attacking innocent people with little to no provocation when there's a bigger enemy here, are fools. So while he had no intention of bullying the guy, more knocking some common sense into him, maybe it does come across as bullying and for that, he's sorry. Alcide isn't someone to really bully anyone.

What Cisco says really doesn't make sense to him except for the sidekick part. He thinks he gets the gist that Cisco isn't usually in the middle of the fray like he was just now, and Alcide goes with that. "Yeah, well today you were the hero... at least as far as I'm concerned." Which probably doesn't mean a whole lot since he doesn't know Alcide and just saw him get in another guy's face. But, whatever.

He gives Cisco a few moments to think through his answer and then shakes his head, placing a large hand on his arm. "Hey. You sure that's the best idea given where your head's at right now?" If Cisco says yes, then Alcide will go back into the fray with him, keep people off of him while Cisco uses the gun. He still isn't sure Cisco isn't a little off from what he'd had to do in there to save Alcide.

Was he, though? Was he the hero? Because, in Cisco's experience, Barry is the hero: he saves the innocent people and he locks up the bad guys. He doesn't set them on fire. Cisco runs a hand through his hair and shakes his head a little, more to himself than in direct contradiction to Alcide.

The large man places a hand on his arm and Cisco looks up at the question, huffing out a humorless laugh. "No," he admits. "But I can't just bail out. I've got this weapon and it can do a lot more than most of the weapons even VSF has. Buffy's in there. Gracie might be in there. I can't just...chicken out and run away with my tail between my legs. I have to go back."

He looks back up at Alcide and the other man can probably see in his eyes that, while the decision is made, Cisco knows he doesn't like the decision. He doesn't want to go back in there. But that's the thing about doing the right thing: you don't always like it, but it's still the right thing. Cisco takes a deep breath. "No, I gotta go back in. I gotta go back in there."
