DAYCYCLE 20

[ FEB 7 - 13 ]

MORNING

Troubleshooter Team: No specials have been selected for a mission this morning.

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

Intel: A truck full military grade explosives was stolen yesterday evening.  Guards report that the thieves were mutants.  Any troubleshooter willing to volunteer to search the sewers for mutants will be awarded for their time and any captures.

AFTERNOON

There is a virus travelling throughout the facility and gaining speed.  It may have been a special order performed by a Nameless member who was deep in debt to Free Enterprise and chose to overlook the possible inconveniences they would be causing their fellow man.  Their client, the Frankenstein Destroyers, had a very specific need - turn the humans against the robots.  Thus, starting at noon robots and machines around Alpha will begin malfunctioning and working in tandem towards one particular need - destroy the humans.  Some machines - like the ones in the military sector - will be outright hostile in their need to track and decimate.  Others who are more sophisticated and limited in their range - like PDCs - may simply reroute information and let the humans destroy themselves with simple miscommunication.

EVENING

By early evening, any machine that hasn’t been switched off or destroyed will be working towards it’s united goal.  Nameless will call for it’s members to track and destroy the virus with special recognition for anyone who can pinpoint its origin.

No sleep gas will be expelled into the barracks this evening.

Ronan can't imagine that anyone human didn't see that video the same way. He's not the nicest person ever, but he doesn't think you ought to beat someone half to death simply for not being like you. He even enjoys fighting and destroying things, but everyone he's ever punched has been able to hold their own.

Ronan's face just deepens into a scowl when Lydia admits that she's the one who was beaten. His brows are heavy over his eyes and his teeth gnash a little as his lips part in a sharp, angry scowl. "Have you got people that watch out for you now?"

Because she's got one more. Ronan has a thing for underdogs.

Lydia takes a deep breath once more, sighing it out through her nostrils. This isn't something she actually wants to continue to talk about, she realizes a little belatedly, and she shouldn't have brought it up at all.

"Yeah," she said. "I do. I did then, too, but they were stalking me, I think. They waited until I was alone and I hardly ever was." She shrugs; tries to play it off like it doesn't bother her anymore when anyone could tell that it does. "There haven't been any attacks since, I don't know. Maybe that's all, maybe they just wanted to scare us and then Steve did his speech to the whole cafeteria and they realized we weren't scared." We. That was a loose way to use the word. She still was.

Unfortunately, Ronan isn't good at not picking a sore once he sees it. It's not even conscious, just something he does.

His brows go up as he listens to Lydia. Some obvious thoughts are going through his head and for once, he thinks not to say anything because if he's thought of things like 'so it's someone you know or have seen' then she has as well.

"Buddy system. Sounds like everyone needs it until these douche nozzles get caught."

Which is probably also obvious but he had to say it.

Sighing, Lydia gives a small, curt nod. "That's the idea, I believe." She sticks to the two people she trusts the most — Ray and Barry— but mostly, Barry's the one by her side, because they work together. He goes to lunch with her and she doesn't head off without him, nor does he head off without her to meet one another down there anymore, if they can avoid it; that's what left her vulnerable to the first attack. They've learned their lesson.

"So, make some friends in the Specials group and sooner than later, I would suggest," she adds before taking a deep breath. "I should get going."
