Daycycle 2 [ November 4-6 ]
DAYCYCLE 2
[ November 4-6 ]
Breakfast goes mostly without incident this morning, though some might find some unpleasant pieces of hardware in their soylent red this morning. It appears a drone, blinded by an inappropriate use of upholstery, crashed and landed in a vat of the mixing stuff yesterday. On the plus side, there might be some useful tech salvageable for those willing to break it out and piece it together.
As a special, you are still being singled out by the majority of the other Troubleshooters, though two or three offer congratulations to Parker and Bucky Barnes on their mission yesterday. It’s rare that one contestant makes it through an entire run of Trouble Survivor, let alone two. If their behavior hadn’t been quite so eccentric, MC might have thought of offering them a permanent spot on the entertainment network. As it is, they are back in the Troubleshooting pool with everyone with the added benefit of being minor celebrities.
Your Briefing Officer is brief, as always, in assigning missions. Today’s fare is much less interesting.
Troubleshooter Team: Alec Hardison & Maria Hill
Mission: Shortly before her fatal accident, Janice Remes performed a complete inventory of Warehouse 93, but they still haven’t forwarded her written reports to Production Control. We’ve made numerous electronic requests for information, but they keep telling us the report isn’t there. Go to the warehouse and find her report so we can bring Warehouse’s 93’s incompetence to Internal Security’s attention.
Troubleshooter Team: Natasha Romanoff & Matt Ferrall
Mission:There was a mutant attack on a guard outside of the Armed Forces Sector last night. The mutant scum was injured in the scuffle, but managed to escape with valuable intel. Your mission is to track down the injured mutant and retrieve the intel.
All other Troubleshooters: You are to report to your Service Firm positions for the day, until called on for Troubleshooter duty.
Intel
Corpore Metal is recruiting again. Members are most recognizable by their metal upgrades. Metal upgrades are not traitorous, unless they are beyond current allowed specifications.
The vending machine on the 24th floor was distributing exploding bottles of Bouncy Bottle Beverage. This is dangerous when opened near a flame. Inspect all bouncy bottle beverages you see and request information on it’s origin.
The afternoon is blessedly free of explosions or mishaps. At 1600 Corridor Running takes place in the RED sleeping corridors, as races are held to see who can beat each other’s best times. This results in some infighting among the RED Troubleshooters, but is casualty free.
At approximately 1800 the Armed Forces Entertainers put on a show in the Commissary for citizens of all clearance levels. A banner is hung across the front of a stage that reads “Winning the War on Treason for over 100 yearcycles!” The show consists of dancers, singers and a celebrity visit from everyone’s favorite talk show host, Teela O’Malley. Sleep aid gas is expelled into the sleeping quarters at 2100.

Ray frowns for a moment, wondering off-hand if it's not a great idea to recall the events of the encounter yesterday. It's nice to be able to talk about it, good to get it out in a format other than just via briefing.
"But everyone got out alive, at least. We got the bomb dismantled too." He smiles then, reminding himself that no one had been hurt. At least he's pretty sure of that.
no subject
"The surface?" Dick frowned thoughtfully, wondering if that was something worth looking into. It might be crazed ramblings of the insane, but it might be something that would shed some light on what was going on here. He'd file it away for later consideration, especially if he heard something like it again.
"That's good," Dick nodded "That's the most important thing really, getting the civilians out safe." he realised too late that it wasn't normal for a sixteen year old to refer to 'civilians' like he wasn't one.
no subject
Yeah, definitely just a coping mechanism.
"I haven't really had a chance to look into his comments about getting up there. That and I heard about the people who got stuck in re-education or whatever they call it. Not fun."
no subject
"Ah, yea," Dick nodded slightly, realising all of a sudden that their conversation was probably enough to get them in some trouble if there was anybody particularly vindictive listening. He glanced subtly around them to make sure nobody was nearby, just in case.
"Something to file away for later consideration maybe, once you have the lay of the land better..." he mused. It was definitely a point of interest, but it was the kind of thing one wouldn't be able to investigate without at least a little bit of planning - and more information to confirm it wasn't just crazy talk.
no subject
"Right. It's not like I can go searching around with Big Brother at every corner." Hell, he'd just been trying to process the situation on the whole. Having no one around that he remotely recognized wasn't helping. And his roommates all seemed just as shell-shocked as he was. They didn't talk much, between the daily grind and possibly maybe the fact that he himself talks way too much? Ray can't be sure, but it seems so far that nobody knows who to trust.
"Nice to know I'm not the only one thinking about this stuff."
no subject
"Pretty much," Dick gives him a half-smile. The amount of surveillance in this place was, frankly, ridiculous, it was seriously cramping his style - not that he wasn't going to find a way around it, of course, that was just the kind of thing he did, but it was still a little much.
"I don't think you are, but... it's probably safer for most people not to talk about it, never know who you're talking to..."
no subject
"Have you talked to the Computer yet at all?"
no subject
Dick can't help but chuckle slightly at that. Stepford is about right. Except for the other specials, most people just seem to accept everything that's around them. That said, maybe he would too if he didn't have all these memories in his head of something different, something better.
"Not yet... I'm not sure I want to. You?"
no subject
And what if he says something wrong? No, there's no doubt. He'll definitely say something wrong. While Ray's not sure this is actually real life, he'd like to at least keep it for a bit.
no subject
"I know what you mean," Dick agrees, there's too much he doesn't know about how things work here - everybody else has lived with it their whole lives, even if they don't agree with the system they still know how it works, he's still too out of the loop to entirely trust himself. It's not that he wants to conform, but he also doesn't want to draw attention to himself.
"Good luck figuring this place out," he grins slightly.
no subject
Ray grabs his tray and moves up out of his seat. He turns back before leaving, grin in place.
"We should swap notes sometime. You know, Troubleshooter stuff."
no subject
"We definitely should," Dick agreed, giving him a little wave
"See you around."
