[Aug 7 - Aug 13]

Early Morning [0800 - 0900] — All Troubleshooters Report for Duty
There is no Mission assigned to any Specials today.

Morning & Afternoon [0900 - 1600] — Service Firm Positions
All Troubleshooters not assigned a mission should report to their Service Firm for their daily duties, unless specifically assigned a different shift.

At 1200 today, a list of high-ranking non-registered mutants will be released to the public. These officials will scramble to account for their tardiness in registering to the Computer and will shortly after be assigned Troubleshooters as body guards against retaliating Anti-Mutant members. All assigned troubleshooters are to keep their charges alive until shift change at 0700 on Day 103, using whatever means necessary. Permission temporarily granted to travel to restricted areas within the clearance level of their charge. Both bodyguards should be present at all times with few exceptions.

[ Player note: Characters may notice that any mutant abilities they once possessed may have a very weak showing when in close proximity to Alpha mutants. Mission success or failure is up to the players.]

Evening [1600 - 2200] — Citizen Improvement
All Alpha citizens are encouraged to better themselves through Alpha’s wide variety of educational, entertainment and cultural opportunities offered each evening. Attending these sanctioned events are not mandatory, but is highly encouraged by The Computer. Citizens choosing not to take advantage of these opportunities, have a growing number of other options available to them in how to spend their hard earned credits and free time.

Tonight’s event will be at 1800 in the Commissary and will be hosted by the Alpha Chess Club. Come participate in the biggest (and only) Chess Tournament sanctioned by the Computer.

Alpha Curfew Restrictions
All Alpha citizens should be in their quarters within the Wagon Wheel by 2200, unless they’ve been given permission from a GREEN or higher clearance level citizen. Sleeping Aid gas is dispelled each night in the Wagon Wheel at 2200 to assist citizens in getting a productive sleeping period.

Confession Booths
There are hundreds of confession booths available around Alpha Complex if a citizen would like to communicate directly with the computer. Please use these confession booths to report mission statuses, report treason or terrorist acts, unregistered mutants, confess your trespasses against Alpha Complex, request propaganda or speak with Your Friend, The Computer, at any time.

"Steve Rogers like Captain America?" she asked cheerfully as they walked through the commissary towards the promised 'something like coffee', she didn't expect him to actually say yes, in her world it was only a movie, but, well, he did kind of look like the guy. Maybe he was just a superfan or something.

"....what is that?" she stared at the sludge, unimpressed. It looked like something out of her kitchen, and the majority of things in her kitchen were anything but edible. Maybe it tasted better than it looked? She poured herself a cup and took a sip. If it tasted alright then it wouldn't be so - it didn't. "This is supposed to be coffee? Is this coffee invented by someone who's only ever heard it described?"

Steve is caught so off-guard that he doesn't even contemplating the possibility of denying it. Not that he would. But two days ago, he woke up with a terrible headache and a painful memory of him leaving his shield and his country — so technically, saying that he wasn't Captain America wouldn't be a lie. But none of those caveats had time to cross his mind.

Instead, Steve just asks the first question that comes to mind.

"How did you know?" He gives her a look like he's completely perplexed that she's recognized his name. Nearly 90 days ago, he stood up on stage and told everyone here his name. None of them recognized him then, he certainly didn't expect anyone to now.

Holtzmann glanced up from the coffee sharply, eyes narrowing slightly as she studied him, trying to figure out if he was making a joke or otherwise pretending, but he seemed completely serious, genuinely surprised that she knew who he was. That would explain why he looked so much like him... could it be that he really was Captain America? Stranger things had happened. To her. A lot. This entire place was strange.

"...There's a movie about you." she told him, still watching him closely for his reaction "Several, actually. Are you telling me you're really Captain America?"

“Wait, are you telling me that there’s multiple movies about me?”

He’d believe there was one. Howard owned a picture studio back then. He wouldn’t be surprised if Stark had directed some movie about him and SHIELD just never let him see it. But multiple?

“What-“ Just the briefest of pauses. “-were they about?”

But of course, that’s when the Troubleshooter on stage taps the microphone. Time to start today’s morning announcements. Steve glances over towards the stage, then back to Holtzmann.

“Would you mind telling me about them, later?”

"Yea," Holtz couldn't help but smile at his amazement, she was pretty giddy to be meeting Captain America and the fact that she got to tell him about the movies, that was just a bonus. She was upgrading her theory about this place though - from bizarre, cult-like facility somewhere in the middle of nowhere to genuine alternate reality. Multiple universes were theorised, after all, and it would make sense of what she'd seen so far if this was one and his world, one where Captain America was a real live person, was another still.

"Happy to," she agreed, disappointed that they couldn't continue their conversation now "Feel free to find me any time, I'll tell you everything."

Steve nods. "I'll be taking you up on that," he says, before adding, "Doctor Holtzmann."

Her smile and her excitement really, told Steve something that was far from the truth. If she recognized him, she must be from his world. His time. It was the only time and place he knew of, where people recognized him off the street.
