DAYCYCLE 9
[ DEC 6-10 ]

MORNING

Citizens of Alpha Complex are more than a little jumpy after yesterday’s attack on the parade. Rumors are spreading like wildfire about which Secret Society group was behind the attack. Internal Security is visible everywhere, asking citizens to show their ID and checking for illegal weapons.

The briefing officer seems to be in a particularly foul mood as she gathers all the Troubleshooter’s attention. Anyone found to be insubordinate will be punished harshly.

Troubleshooter Team: Dick Grayson & Barry Allen
Mission: The entirety of Troubleshooter team BSY-Four-Niner perished in action in your destination sector. The team was testing an experimental self-motivated smart weapon. Retrieve the weapon intact and bring it to the nearest R&D facility. Act with extreme caution.

All other Troubleshooters: You are to report to your Service Firm positions for the day, until called on for Troubleshooter duty.

Intel: An inside source says that the Illuminati didn’t have a direct hand in the attacks but might have been pulling the strings behind them.

AFTERNOON
It is determined by Internal Security by careful investigation and forensic evidence that the attackers were members of Death Leopard. All known and suspected Death Leopard members will be arrested for extreme interrogation.

Hardison and Arty will find themselves also subject to these interrogation methods as it had been their job to detain and turn in any Death Leopard members the day prior to the attack and they failed to turn in any. This is seen as being willing conspirators in the attack and as high treason. They will be punished as Death Leopard members. They will not be returning to the Wagon Wheel tonight.

EVENING
A special ceremony is held that evening in the Commissary honoring those that fought bravely during the attack. Wounded garrison members are given medals of honor, including stand ins Ray Palmer and Matt Farrell.

Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes are given Heroes of the Complex awards for their actions and promoted to ORANGE clearance level.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

You are welcome to play out missions from any point (beginning, middle, end) but are not required to. You will, however need to provide information on the debriefing post below once you've determined with the other players involved how the mission played out. You can indicate if the mission is complete (finished), pending investigation (still being discussed occly), or in progress (currently being threaded out.) You are encouraged to approach other characters for assistance with missions whenever possible, as almost every sector has a playable character. They may be able to provide you with valuable information from their roles within Alpha Complex or assistance in tracking down a traitor. You'll soon find out that the more avenues you have through the bureaucratic nightmare that Alpha Complex is, the better.

Reward and punishment will be determined by the outcome of your missions, though they may depend entirely on the current processing power of The Computer at the time and classified information not available to you. In other words, everything is never as it seems, so be prepared for anything.

Please debrief The Computer and your Briefing Officer on your mission using the form below.

Steve stood next to the little elevated platform in the Commissary, watching as garrison members had medals of honor pinned to their chests. Pretty soon it was his turn, and he and Bucky were directed to march up front and receive their own awards.

The entire experience was more than a little bizarre, and it wasn't only because instead of proper uniforms, all of them were wearing jumpsuits. Even if he jumpsuit was now a different color. Part of it felt just like old times. Part of it felt like he was in some type of carnival spectacle.

He'd done his job, received his award — so why did the Captain feel like somehow he'd done something wrong?

A few camera flashes later and the ceremony was over, and the soldiers allowed to either mingle or eat off-stage. Steve put on his best I'm-actually-interested-in-talking-to-you face and started into the crowd. Throughout the evening, he made sure to always keep Bucky within sight, if for no other reason than to keep himself calm.

Bucky was keeping an eye on Steve as well. There were many benefits to the change in their rooming arrangements and clearance level, though one disadvantage in that he knew Steve would now be keeping an even closer eye on him over the perceived 'problem' he didn't believe he had. Twitch in his good hand aside, the medication only helped him.

But now they had a cover and a place to talk where they would not need to sneak around, and since they had been placed there, no one could claim it had been their plan all along.

He found Steve when the mingling had dissipated some and made his way over to his friend, standing beside him and watching the people wander about.

"You might end up a Captain again, yet, Steve." He made sure not to stand suspiciously close, but it was nice to be side by side with Steve again.

"What do you think of the new uniform?" Personally, it made him feel like he was being put on display, but the bright colors had never sat as well with him as the darker ones of their time fighting Hydra. It was easier to go unnoticed when their clothing was not neon.

It was true. Their latest living arrangements made things extremely convenient. No more midnight meetings, or secret signals were needed. Anytime either of them needed a quick word, it would only require a strategic turning of their heads. And yes, this also meant that Steve was watching Bucky like a hawk when it came to drug doses.

But tonight, when his best friend came up besides him, Steve chuckled at his comments.

"I'm not sure I can pull off the colors on a Captain-level jumpsuit." He looked down at the two of them — all clad in orange like two gigantic carrots. "I think they really help promote inner beauty."

A lopsided smile spread out across Steve's face. Bucky always managed to make him feel better.

It is important to note that Steve's now former roommate (who only knows who he is because he was in her room) hates him. Moving up means working with the people in charge.

Whenever he's not looking, he will have spitballs land with absolute accuracy.

When the first one hits him, Steve actually has no idea what's happened. It's not like the little bunched up spit wad got stuck on him. It bounced right off. So as he stood there, trying not to look on the ground to investigate what just hit him, another splat hit him right on the cheek.

Projectiles he could handle. People hating him he could also handle. But at this moment, Steve had just one question.

Whatever it is, why is it wet? Maybe even a little soggy-

And then he put it together.

-spitball.

No one can pull an unreadable face like Parker. Since she fails at most normal human affects anyway, looking for signs she's spitballing Captain America would be fruitless. First of all, she doesn't feel the least bit guilty about it.

Secondly, she's really good at hiding things.

Thirdly, she has a lot of paper. Okay, that may have nothing to do with signs she's doing anything, but it's important to mention.

Bombs away!

He can't tell who's doing it, but he can tell what direction it always seems to be coming from. Whoever is doing this is always hitting his right side.

So Steve adjusts, taking a few discrete steps that put the man giving out the medals in-between him and this mysterious paper shooter.

The mysterious paper-shooter will take a break. As fun as it is, nothing is less fun than getting caught, unless money's destroyed and that's not less fun, that's painful.

If he ducks into range again, expect the spitballer to prove how good her aim is.

Matt spent the day in one of the lounge type rooms with the tv, because damned if he was going to park himself at a desk and work after he'd been shot. Sure he could walk most of the time, but fuck this place.

Fuck playing by their rules, their stupid drugs, the computers and basically everything. Big Brother could go jump off the roof.

And by the time the ceremony rolls around, he's seriously considering not going because he doesn't want that stupid medal. What he wants is the first trip home he can find.

Not that he has a home anymore there, but still.
