Daycycle Day 23 [ FEB 29-MAR 5]
[ FEB 29 - MAR 5 ]
MORNING
This morning even the most vehement of those Special haters seem to be preoccupied at the briefing. The whispers aren’t about the new arrivals but the opportunity to go to the surface. The Briefing Officer doesn’t waste any time in announcing those that were chosen. Out of the twelve Troubleshooters selected three specials, Tony Stark, Ray Palmer and Barry Allen, are named as part of the expedition. Some Troubleshooters seem disappointed while others look extremely relieved at not being named as part of the group. The expedition will set out at noon with a projected return time of 48 hours.
Troubleshooter Team: D. Grayson and R. Lynch
This particular mission is considered a high-clearance level despite being assigned to RED troubleshooters. Dick and Ronan will be selected for the mission and immediately led out of the Commissary in order to be told in private. They are to travel to Bingham’s Arms Emporium located on the outskirts of the Armed Forces sector. There they are to render the supervisor, Victor Bingham, unconscious and take him to one of the scrub bots located at Internal Security headquarters. They will be required to wear masks provided when obtaining the traitor in order to protect their identity from retaliation.
All other Troubleshooters: You are to report to your Service Firm positions for the day, until called on for Troubleshooter duty.
Intel: The word glitch has begun appearing on confession booths in the Technical Services sector.
AFTERNOON
At approximately 1400 a small explosion will occur in the R&D sector, causing it to be evacuated for the rest of the day. It is unknown what caused the explosion, but rumor has it that anyone introduced to the invisible gas in the area will begin to go into convulsions before losing consciousness. That will not stop some people from getting masks and searching the abandoned warehouses for products that will gain money on the black market.
At 2000 the Genuine Credit Opportunity Club will hold a special presentation in the Commissary for those interested in earning astonishing amounts of credits for minimal work. THIS IS NOT A TRIANGLE SCHEME. Sleeping gas will be expelled at 2100.
Re: Sorry I just got to this!
Dick didn't understand quite what he was getting at, so he just nodded and dropped the subject there. He was more focused on watching Ronan's other reaction, it wasn't particularly promising. Sure, he didn't denounce him for comparing the two, but he didn't seem in particular agreement either, and it made Dick want to step even more carefully.
"Is he here?" he asked of Ronan's friend, the tiniest hint of jealousy slipping into his tone. He felt the same about Parker and Hardison at times, that they'd been lucky enough to have both ended up here, it reminded him how much he missed everybody back home "Not that I know of, I think everybody I've met so far has been older, but that doesn't mean there aren't others around."
Re: Sorry I just got to this!
Really, his feelings on the subject would be so completely clear if he weren't medicated to the gills. Ronan hated this place. He hated nearly everything about it. He was reasonably vocal on the subject as well, at least most of the time. He was only wishy-washy because his true self was rebelling against the medication.
"Adam? Yeah. I share a room with him." He glanced over at Dick. If it helps, Ronan knew he was lucky to have Adam here. It was the only thing he didn't hate about this place. Ronan nodded a little. "I've met Lydia? She said something about being a teenager." He wasn't the most social of people though.
Re: Sorry I just got to this!
"That's lucky," Dick said genuinely, though that undercurrent of jealousy was still there. Not only did Ronan have a friend from home here, but they got to share a room, he wanted nothing more than to see a familiar face, no matter how many friends he made here he knew he'd miss that. "Oh, yea, Lydia's one of my roommates. We've not really spoken that much, I didn't realise she was around our age as well, she seems a lot older." there was a beat when he realised what he said and he laughed awkwardly "Not a lot older, I just mean... mature, you know? Don't tell I said that." Women were funny about that kind of thing, and he didn't want to go making enemies if he could help it.
Re: Sorry I just got to this!
Ronan tilted his head a little, not quite missing that undercurrent of jealousy. "I'm going to go out on a limb and say there's no one from home here with you." Which was interesting because why had they decided to bring Adam with him and not bring everyone in pairs like this was some freaking ark.
"I'm not sure how old she is. I didn't ask, but she mentioned being a teenager." He smirked a little at Dick's warning. "Right. I'll keep quiet. I don't hang out with girls much at home, so I wouldn't know." Blue was the only friend that was a girl that he had back home and they're still trying to decide if they're actually friends. Besides that, he was pretty sure that Blue wasn't a normal girl.
Re: Sorry I just got to this!
"What gave it away?" Dick asked with a wry smile, but he shrugged slightly "It's okay, it's not like I can't cope on my own and everything, but it would be nice."
"The girls I hang out with are..." he tries to find a way to put it delicately and finds himself at a loss "pretty powerful. Most of them could kick my ass, so I tend to be careful what I say to them." he grinned.
no subject
He nodded a little even if he didn't really 'get' it because while magic was a thing in his world, it was limited and super powers weren't a thing. "The one in my life is a mostly a pain in my ass." There was a certain fondness there when he said it, but also a bitterness. He hadn't entirely made up his mind how he felt about Blue.
