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.

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.

"Does your PDC control itself?" Root's eyebrows lift, surprised at Lydia's seeming desire to work against herself.

Rooting out the anti-Specials is simply a means to an end at this point. Another obstacle in the way of moving about the Complex freely and without one more issue to keep an eye on. Additionally, the sheer numbers game of turning them in would get some others to back down. Or try harder.

To that point, Lydia tilts her head in a half-nod, chewing her bottom lip again. "Fair enough," she agrees. "...maybe we should have this discussion in the morning when I've slept and I'm not so inexplicably slow to understand. I'm usually so on point and I'm just not tonight..." she sighs, frustrated with herself as she brings a hand up to pinch the bridge of her nose.

"I think we could both use the rest." Root leans forward to start cleaning up her first failed experiment, edging the chair backwards to stand. She's done a decent job at compartmentalizing and directing her energy where it needs to go. She'd hate to lose that momentum.

"Wouldn't want to disappoint the Computer, right?" She can't help it. Sarcasm is just her favorite coping mechanism.

"I mean it, though. I want to pick your brain more tomorrow when I'm less out of it," she insisted as she started to help Root clean up their not-pizza. She wants to be able to not just process what the other woman is saying, but be the few moves ahead mentally to follow the path of thought.

Lydia just grunts and rolls her eyes in response to that before smiling a little at her roommate. "Yeah, right," she agrees with the same sarcasm, picking up what's left on the table and following Root's lead toward taking care of the mess. She doesn't want to toss it out and be seen as ungrateful or rude if Root intends to save the leftovers of hers, so following the other woman's lead seems like the easiest way to go.
