DAYCYCLE 10

[ DEC 11-15 ]

MORNING

Internal Security is still making it’s presence known and stopping citizens to check ID and weapons.  While many citizens still seem shaken by recent events, a large majority seem to have all but forgotten.  This might be due in part to some extra chemical engineering in the Happitime doses.

Hardison and Arty will be brought before the Troubleshooters during the Morning Briefing.  It is clear from their appearance that they were both interrogated thoroughly.  Luckily, through the miracle of chemical engineering and a rigorous corrective medication regimen, they have been reinstated as Troubleshooters.  Each, however, will be assigned a Troubleshooter (not a special) to watch them closely for a return in traitorous activity.  

All Troubleshooters

Mission:  To capture and turn in any and all Death Leopard Members.  There will be a 1000cr reward for each traitor turned over for punishment.  You must obtain a written or recorded confession or provide sufficient proof.  You have permission to do this by any means necessary. It is recommended that you work in teams of 2 or more.  Laser barrels will be provided for all Troubleshooters.

AFTERNOON

Death Leopard members are being turned in at record numbers!  Lydia Martin and Parker are called in to assist in the processing of traitors, many of whom profess their innocence, despite having signed confessions and/or vidrecordings submitted as proof.  

Allowing an innocent citizen to be punished for treason is treason, however releasing a citizen guilty of treason is also treason.  Lydia and Parker must decide which of those presented should be sent on to be punished.

EVENING

The Complex is unnaturally quiet this evening.  There are no special events planned.  Many citizens, blitzed out of their mind on HappiTime will enjoy a pleasant evening forgetting their troubles at The Strobe dance club.  Sleepaid gas will be released at it’s regular time of 2100 within the Wagon Wheel.

"Yeah, uh...people where I'm from know you, although it's kind of..." How exactly do you tell someone he's a comic book superhero that has a fan following, although given it's Tony, it's probably nothing that would disturb him, but Matt's quiet for a few minutes.

"Well I've read about a lot of things you've done." That was safe enough right?

[notasoldier]

"Where are you from?" Tony asked. There was something strange about the way he'd said it, though Tony just assumed it was from some backwater town that no one had ever really heard of. Still, it was good to know that even in a place like this someone knew who he was.

"Hopefully not in the tabloids," Tony said easily before turning his attention on Matt. "So what's this place's deal? Do you buy into the cloning?"

[hackboy]

"I lived in Jersey before my apartment got blown up, but it's a different world from the one you come from." Because again, comic books about Tony's worlds.

"No, the uh...tabloids tend to focus on Hollywood... As for the cloning, I don't know, I mean I had just gotten shot before I woke up here and it was all healed when I came here..."

[notasoldier]

"Ah, Jersey." They explained it all, didn't it? "A different world?" He repeated, furrowing his brow. Now that was something that he hadn't heard here yet.

"I've dated half of Hollywood." Well, dated was a stretch, but still. If the tabloids didn't have anything about him once a month he felt like he was becoming irrelevant. "You had just gotten shot?"

[hackboy]

"Yeah, no uh..well super soldiers, mutants, people with powers, basically. I mean, we have terrorists and all, but everyone's basically normal." Which isn't a bad thing really, given he's not sure he'd actually want to live in a world with the kind of shit that goes down in comic books.

"Yeah, took a job writing some code for a guy. I do math-based security or I did, but turns out, he was one of the bad guys. Wanted to teach the government a lesson.

Tried to bankrupt them and I kind of helped stop it." McClane had done most of it though.

[notasoldier]

"Yeah, but it's still Jersey," Tony joked. He wasn't entirely sure he was understanding what Matt was getting at.

Tony gave the kid another look when he said he was a coder. "Who was this guy?" Had it been someone with HYDRA. Is that why they were here now? "So, you stopped it by getting shot?"

[hackboy]

"Thomas Gabriel, former government employee who got pissed off when nobody took him seriously, so he decided to show them what was wrong." Or you know, steal all the money while he was doing it.

"No, that was uh...because I was trying to keep from helping him so he shot me. Guy who stopped him was a cop who got involved. Shot Gabriel through his own shoulder to take him out."

And yes, McClane was crazy, but he'd saved a lot of people.

[notasoldier]

"So the guy went postal?" Tony shifted on his feet, crossing his arms as he took in Matt's story. The kid was honest, at least. Most people might have played up the getting shot part a little more, considering Tony was a complete stranger.

"Yeah, I know the type," Tony said, thinking about Steve and his self-sacrificing ways. He glanced at Matt's legs. "And getting shot was the last thing you remember before waking up here? A shot like that should've left you laid up for weeks."
