[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.

Even though he thought she'd already done more than enough to make this the best birthday possible, he was excited when she pulled him aside for what he assumed to be his present. He watched, mystified, as she pulled the bin out, her initial explanation not making a great deal of sense - until he looked inside and her final words made it click.

"You made me a pillow!? Oh man this is the best!" He'd made a nice enough little nest for himself, tucked away where nobody could find him, but it still only as luxurious as a scavenged hidey hole really could be, and this would just make it that little bit more comfortable, make it feel the tiniest bit more like home.

Unable to resist, he threw his arms around her, hugging her tightly. "Thank you!"

Lydia grinned as she watched realization dawn on Dick's face and she nodded. "We made you a pillow," she confirmed and when he threw his arms around her, it surprised a little laugh out of Lydia and she hugged him back in kind, giving him a little squeeze. "You're so welcome. Happy birthday, Dick," she said quietly as she loosened her hold and finally took a step back to smile at him.

"Listen, I don't want to keep you, there's lots of people here. Leave this in the bin and I'll tuck it back out of the way and then before you're ready to go to bed tonight, take it out. It'll be ready by then. It might not be super firm until tomorrow night, but it'll still work. It sucks that you're stuck here on your birthday so I just...you know. Wanted to make it a little less sucky."

When he stepped back from the hug, his cheeks were a little flushed, and maybe it was from the excitement of everything that was going on, but, well, they hadn't been like that before the hug. He cleared his throat awkwardly, shoving his hands in his pockets.

"You... you made it a lot less sucky. A lot." he told her sincerely "I'm gonna go say hi to everybody... but, really, I can't thank you enough for this." he was definitely going to throw her an awesome party next year, no matter where he was at the time.

To her credit, Lydia doesn't appear to take notice of the color that's risen into his cheeks or the awkward body language after the hug. Instead, she just gives him a warm smile and a nod.

"I'm glad," she says sincerely, "now go on and go say hi to everybody, I'll be around. You're welcome. Go have fun."

((ooc: call it done?))
