DAYCYCLE 13

[ DEC 26 - 31 ]

[OOC: This Daycycle will run for six ooc days instead of the usual 5 ooc days from Dec 26-31. ]

MORNING

Troubleshooter Team: Alec Hardison & Jason Wilcox

Mission:  There is an INDIGO corridor in R&D that we want you to inspect.  We’ll give you 5000cr each at the end of your mission just for walking from one end to the other.  Here are vouchers to let you walk through it legally.  Make sure you wear these telemetry suits when you go through it.  

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

Intel:  The Humanists staged an attack last night and left many citizens temporarily blinded by pepper spray.  There is a 1000cr reward for any participants being handed over for punishment.

A special was attacked yesterday by an anti-Specials group.  Steve Rogers has asked to address all Troubleshooters in regards to this incident.

AFTERNOON

The afternoon is mostly uneventful.  Save for a Vulture pilot who crashes his copter into the Armed Forces mess hall at approximately 1423.  What is initially thought of as a treasonous act is quickly determined to be a Happitime overdose and is hushed up by the highers ups.

EVENING

The evening is launched with a very special and mandatory showing of the Teela O’Malley show.  The show begins by describing the state that humanity was in when The Computer took control.  People were a slave to their whims.  Alpha Complex is held up as a paragon of innovation and cooperation among people and technology.  In fact, many REDs watching the show may not recognize the Utopian society being depicted as anything close to the society they find themselves in.  It ends with a touching montage of citizens swearing their allegiance and thanks to The Computer that brings the legendary host to tears.  

Sleep aid gas is expelled at 2100.

She nods knowingly, and yes OK there's a tinge of mocking to it; but Root can't exactly blame the boy scout for being infallibly earnest. The Computer is certainly a major concern, though Root's perspective on that differs from most.

"Call me Root." Which is noticeably different from what the Computer wants to call her, but if Steve uses the secure network, he'll find her under this name.

"And I'm sure you can find me among the other REDs. You know your way around the slums, right?" Her smile intact, the tongue-in-cheek joke hopefully lands. Of course, anyone who talks with Root experiences her lilting voice: speaking innocent words but managing to make her tone anything but. Many have found disappointment upon realizing that the tone was an empty promise, a lure in the water.

For Steve, however, it's a social query: RETURN reaction FROM boy scout WHERE INPUT = light flirtation.

your sql <3333 I actually LOL'd

Her name was unique, to say the least. The Cap's first thought was that it must be a code name — like Hawkeye, or Black Widow.

But when Root calls RED housing slums, and in that special tone of voice, a small, wary grin forms on Steve's face. He might not understand that she's flirting (because Steve is as dense as a someone could possibly be in that area), but he can tell that she's teasing. So he adjusts his own tone as well, as his smile gets wider.

"You mean the floors I lived in three days ago? Yes ma'am, I think I know my way around."
