Daycycle 15 [JAN 6-10]
DAYCYCLE 15
[ JAN 6 - 10 ]
Alpha Complex can be a very difficult to move up in once you’ve made the right kind of enemies. No one knows this better than Naldo Daly, a self-proclaimed genius in the Drug Interaction department of R&D. He’s been trying to win the favor of the computer for years, only to have his superiors take the credit for his work. Not this time.
This morning Daly will have slipped a new drug he’s been working on in his free time into the water supply that goes directly to the Wagon Wheel. The drug is meant to change behavior of traitors into behaviors that are more acceptable in Alpha society. It not only succeeds in changing a person’s brain chemistry and bringing about the opposite of their natural, traitorous intentions but it also brings forth personality traits that are usually less dominant. In other words, Alpha is awakening to the dawn of Opposite Day.
Reactions will vary from person to person. For some the effects will only last an hour or so. For others, it could last several hours. Of course, it’s possible that some citizens have become addicted to bouncy bubbly beverage and won’t have any contact with the drug at all.
Troubleshooter Team: No Specials are selected for a mission today.
Mission: None.
All other Troubleshooters: Specials are to salvage what they can of their belongings and move to new temporary rooms in the ORANGE clearance level. Even those not destroyed internally have been determined unsafe by engineers. Enjoy real curtains, a small kitchenette, a shared bathroom and a bubbly bouncing drink machine by the elevators. Temporary rooming assignments are as follows:
1202 - S. Rogers - G. Maecenas
1203 - T. Stark - Parker
1204 - R.Palmer - B. Allen
1205 - D.Grayson - A.Hardison
1206 - J.Wilcox - M. Farrell
1207 - S.Groves - L. Martin
1208 - P. Carter
Intel: It’s believed that whoever the arsonist who acted against the Specials is might have had an intimate knowledge of the security camera logistics as no evidence was recorded.
Since the Specials have a day off - for many the first since their arrival - they may want to check out the latest exhibit at the museum. It contains the Complex’s greatest artifact, a typewriter dated nearly 100 years B.C. (before The Computer). It is on display for a limited amount of time and is heavily guarded by the Very Special Armed Forces. The Museum will be open from Noon to 2000.
If history isn’t something that interests the Specials, they should try cutting loose at the Strobe where it’s newest laser show is a virtual explosion of seizure inducing color and the drinks are half price tonight.
Sleep aid gas will be expelled at 2100.
Re: Evening
Words? Why use words when one can beat another person senseless with objects? One should note that she has far more objects than most. The screwdriver didn't suit her purposes anyway, so why not use it to get this man who is not Hardison out of her room.
Is that a stapler she's taken from one of the offices? Is that a stapler she's taken from one of the offices now flying towards his head?
Yes, yes it is.
no subject
"What is your problem?" He yells out as he plucks the stapler from his arm and throws it at her feet. No. No! Why did he throw it back to her? God, he's an idiot.
"Do I know you?" Usually, women don't throw things at him unless they know him.
no subject
"I. Don't. Sleep. With. You." So now she's a little clearer, especially by Parker standards.
For the record, she's taken exactly 71 pens. That's a lot of punctuation.
Plus, she's got the stapler again.
no subject
He swipes downwards to grab the stapler, but he's too slow and now he's basically staring the blond fury down. He pulls himself up, shielding himself as much as possible with the pillow while trying to maintain some kind of face.
"I was assigned this room same as you. Believe me, I'm not that crazy about it either."
no subject
That's Captain America's name from now on, Evil Orange.
"Find Hardison. Trade rooms." Not only isn't she intimidated by the Tony Stark stare but also, she's sounding like she's threatening him.
no subject
"Rogers? You think Rogers is evil?"
He matches her stare. He's hardly going to be intimidated by someone less than 100lbs soaking wet. Even if he doesn't miss that threat in her tone. "Who the hell is Hardison?"
He knows, of course, even if he hasn't met him. He's seen his work behind the network, that doesn't mean he can't play dumb.
no subject
Obviously, this man's been hit in the head far too many times. If she ever finds out he doesn't think she's dangerous, nothing would ever convince her he's some genius tech billionaire.
"The one who sleeps in here."
Clear, concise, threatening: it's a trifecta of tones. Not knowing who Hardison is qualifies as a serious character flaw to Parker.
no subject
He raises his eyebrows. "You know, I didn't choose this room, right? We were assigned?" But the point doesn't really seem to matter. He isn't going to get any sleep here if she's within twenty feet. He shrugs. "So you and this Hardison are a thing huh?"
"He must be a brave man."
no subject
Staplers can be hurled while people are asleep too. In fact, still targets are excellent for stapling in Parker's experience.
She tilts her head as she's not the one who usually has to explain about Hardison. In fact, she never does. They just are and Hardison's always cool with that. Nate and Sophie don't ask any questions, and Eliot just wanders off if Parker's about to get naked, whether Hardison's involved or not.
So, she thinks of the best possible way to describe what they are. "He's Hardison. He sleeps here, with me. You don't."
In Parkerland (a strange place filled with unheard music and Santa Claus) that's a confession of deep and abiding love.
