Daycycle 103 [ August 14 - August 20 ]
daycycle 103
[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.

Their jumpsuits are so plasticky and rubbery that upon contact, they make that weird swooshy scratchy sound. Which is why, to avoid it in general, Felicity usually has her sleeves rolled up. So now, it was her arm against Barry’s non-cozy-sweater sleeve.
Regardless, she takes comfort in how the two of them can be like this again, and in how sturdy and safe holding onto Barry’s arm feels. With Felicity, Barry has never needed to be the Flash in order to be her friend. He can just be Barry, and she still feels better when he’s around.
“New memories?” Her voice drops an octave as she repeats that phrase as a question, but it’s really just a way for her to process the information. “Yeah. Theoretically.” She looks up at him as they walk and she can tell that something’s bothering him. “What did you remember Barry?”
no subject
"It's more than just a memory," he says, trying to clarify. "I know that it happened. It's too vivid and clear for it not to have." He remembers every detail. The moment he decided to trust Jay. The moment Jay killed himself in front of him. Everything that he had done as Zoom and the moment he'd taken the last parent Barry had from him.
Felicity didn't know about his father. At least as far as he knew. He'd been too wrapped up in his own grief to let anyone in their immediate circle know and he hadn't wanted to admit it out loud or through text. Even now, far away from his normal life, he didn't want to say it.
"I remembered Zoom," he says finally, glancing over at her. "Every mistake I made with him. I let him into my life, Felicity. I let him near my family and friends. I told myself I'd never let anyone hurt any of them again and I opened the door for him to walk right through."
He stops. "I didn't have time to tell you. He..." He forces himself to take a breath. "He killed my dad."

It was more suspicious than anything, and Felicity made a mental note to investigate the MemoMax facility she'd passed after waking up on her first day. But she could tell that regardless of whether the memories were real, they were real to Barry. So she's going to talk to him like she thinks they're real too.
When he stops, her eyes furrow in concern as she braces herself for a million things that he might say next. She doesn't know who Zoom is, but if Barry was talking about his family getting hurt, Felicity's mind wanders immediately to Iris, then Joe. But Mr. Allen. She couldn't have prepared herself for that.
"Oh god Barry." There's no hesitation. She pulls him in for a hug. "I'm so sorry," she whispers, into his neck. "I'm so, so sorry."

He doesn't bother fighting back the wave of grief that washes over him for the hundreth time. This time he lets it carry him away, using Felicity and her words as an anchor. It's a long moment before he can fight back the lump in his throat.
"It was my fault." He lets out a deep breath before pulling back, his eyes wet. "Every one I love, I lose. I can't win."
no subject
Barry doesn’t talk for a long moment and she doesn’t try to pull back or move. At most, she rubs her palm gently up and down a little part of Barry’s back, to let him know that she’s here and that she’s got him, and that she isn’t going anywhere. But when he finally pulls back and she sees the moisture in his eyes, her lips curl downwards into an empathetic frown.
“Hey,” she finally says, after lowering one of her hands onto his arm for a comforting squeeze. “It’s not about winning, right? It’s about doing everything you can- everything we can, to keep as many people as possible safe. You’ve saved so many people Barry. I’m sure- I’m sure Mr. Allen wouldn’t want you to forget that.”
