[Aug 14 - Aug 20]

Early Morning [0800 - 0900] — All Troubleshooters Report for Duty
Samantha "Root" Groves and Cisco Ramon, have been selected for today’s mission. Details are below:

"Confirm circuit breakers are functioning properly by creating short circuits to test them."

Please debrief the computer on the status of your mission by the end of the Daycycle here.

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.

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 1900 in the Commissary and will be hosted by the Amateaur Dramatics Group. You're invited to come see the one woman show that Mind Control called too "boring" to put on early morning television.

Specials Event - All Specials with knowledge of Specials HQ have been invited to a surprise party to celebrate wanted fugitive, Dick Grayson's, seventeenth birthday.

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.

Dick spins around to grin up at Steve, it's obvious from his expression (and the fact he's been practically bouncing since he walked in) that he's pretty excited about the whole party, but he's also a little overwhelmed by how much effort everybody went to - he'd already gushed about it to Lydia, so he'd sort of got it out of his system, but he was pretty sure he was going to embarrass himself in front of everybody before the day was done.

"Hey! Thanks! I hear I have you to thank for the cake? It's really great, thank you!" Okay, so far so good, genuine gratitude and not too much gushing, he might actually pull this off.

"Even with the food we all bring you, living off the grid isn't easy," he says, smiling. "I figured I'd try for something we'd normally have at home for birthdays — we can't let this place take those things away."

Honestly, seeing him happy was enough. It was all the gratitude that Steve needed.

"You're right," Dick nods in agreement "I think it's important to fight back with stuff like that, and I'm not just saying that because it means I get birthday cake," he laughs slightly "but they can take our freedom but they can't take our minds... or, you know, some other cliché movie trope that applies disturbingly well to our current totalitarian nightmare." despite his words, his tone didn't dip from its cheeriness, maybe because it was his birthday, maybe just because he liked to try and stay positive about the whole thing.

"But really, it means a lot that you guys did this."

"Exactly." Though, Steve probably hasn't heard those exactly lines very recently. He lost his chance to catch up with the last century's pop culture when he woke up here.

"We were all happy to." And people were really seeming to enjoy the party too, based on how much dancing and laughing that was happening in his peripheral vision.

"And let me know in the future, what types of food you like. I can keep an even better eye out now." Rising through the ranks had many perks — but one of the best ones was his ability to give the other Specials something better to eat.

"Still, I'm grateful," Dick smiles "and anything really, it's great whenever you manage to get me anything, I really appreciate you doing that, it just makes everything a bit more comfortable, you know?" he wasn't sure if he'd actually said, before, how much he did appreciate the effort Steve went to (and the risk to himself) to try and make Dick's life there just that little bit better.

"Though if you come across any cornflakes, you know where to find me." he laughs. "Seriously though, thanks. I'll let you get back to enjoying the party, I just wanted to let you know I was grateful."

“Cornflakes huh?” Steve can’t help but laugh. Sometimes he forgets that Dick is still a kid. “I’ll see what I can do.”

A nod as Dick tells him to enjoy the party, and Steve turns to the side as Dick goes to speak to the next person here. He was a good kid, that one.
