DAYCYCLE 18

[ JAN 26-30]

MORNING

Matt Farrell will be woken up at 0400 when a squad of Internal Security Gray Ops come to arrest Jason Wilcox for treason.  He is led away at gunpoint and any requests for information will be denied by higher level officers, claiming it’s classified.  Any digging done outside of sanctioned channels will reveal that he was believed to have been stealing medical equipment and supplies.

There is a new briefing officer in place this morning.  She speaks in a sugary sweet voice and smiles often.  Rumor has it she was on the execution squad that finished of the worst traitors in Death Leopard.

Troubleshooter Team: Parker and R. Lynch

Mission:  These fine recruits need practice in small unit tactics.  You will each have a team of three recruits and will lead them as they are pitted against each other in small unit tactical skirmishes.  You’re units are to engage in three to five armed skirmishes against each other.  You will take note of each recruit’s accuracy, obedience and courage under fire.  Fill out these forms indicating each recruit’s performance and turn them in, along with surviving recruits, at the nearest Vulture Squadron barracks.  The Troubleshooter with the most survivors will be awarded a credit reward.

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

Specials will remain in their temporary quarters until repairs are completed on their RED quarters.

1202 - S. Rogers - G. Maecenas

1203 - A. Hardison  - Parker

1204 - R.Palmer - B. Allen

1205 - D.Grayson - T. Stark

1206 - M. Farrell

1207 - S.Groves - L. Martin

1208 - P. Carter - A. Patterson

1209 - R. Lynch

Intel: Free Enterprise has begun manufacturing weapons for sale to the highest secret society bidders.  Any information about these weapons should be reported immediately.

AFTERNOON

There is a high-level game of PowerGolf being held this afternoon in the Tech Services sub-sector Delta with many BLUE and VIOLET clearance citizens.  The game will be broadcast across the Complex.  Rumor has it that Free Enterprise will offer any citizen the ability to place bets on the outcome.  Increased security is apparent and all RED Troubleshooters will be pulled to work crowd control and police the game.

EVENING

The Alpha City Library is hosting a special reading of it’s high-clearance level novels this evening in a desperate attempt to attract interest and sponsorship from the Alpha Complex masses.  The book chosen is so notoriously racy that it has been forbidden to most clearance levels for nearly a decade.  There is a small fee to attend, but drinks and food will be provided.

Sleep aid gas will be expelled into the barracks this evening at 2100.

"You like mechanics?" Ray's voice raises a little because he's the excitable type and still really doesn't have the hang of how to stay on the down-low. Like, ever. Fortunately that also means he misses his window to press Adam on whether hydroponics was a helpful answer or not. Unfortunately Adam is about to find out that Ray in this proverbial dystopian high school setting is the nerd who doesn't quite get that maybe it's time for him to leave.

"I build gadgets-- well, I did. Back home, my company made mobile phones and smart technology." Oh wait. "Which is computer stuff. What do you prefer to work on? Cars?"

There's a slight nod in the affirmative when Ray mentions mechanics and seems to light up at the notion as if he too had an affinity toward it. Won't he be glad to have someone like minded around. Adam isn't all that special, really. But he has a few things he's good at, certain lanes in which he has a niche.

"Cars, yeah. Motors. I can fix most anything that has a motor of some kind." Which isn't computer stuff, but Adam likes to think he could figure out computer stuff fairly quickly. He's able to find where things are broken and fix them.

"Are you more the electronic kind of mechanic?" He asks. "Most motors these days have electronic components. I can work with those." Not the Pig, Gansey's car, but most new car motors have electronics too.

Ray shakes his head, muppet-facing as he muses over the question. Does he have a preference? To Ray, they're one in the same because they support building a single unit.

"I wouldn't pick one over the other, but you'll find both around here so you'll get plenty of practice if you want it." Always nice to add skills to the ol' toolbox. Especially when you're never sure where you'll need to use them after being dimensionally kidnapped or something in that proximity.
