[Aug 21 - Aug 27]

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 approximately 1400 today all power within the Wagon Wheel will shut down as part of a Nameless Secret Society Demonstration. The backup generators will be disabled. All citizens within the Wagon Wheel at that time will be stuck. Locked doors will remain locked. Elevators will stop. Lights will go out. Many opportunists will use this to create pure chaos. This demonstration will go on for the next five hours.

---

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 2000 in Meeting Room B, Wagon Wheel Floor 25 and will be hosted by the Spontaneous Loyaly Demonstration Organizers. Learn how to put on a spontaneous demonstration in order to show your loyalty to the computer and Alpha Complex in an effective and memorable way.

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.

Derek can tell that she's not convinced, but he isn't going to argue the point with her. Mostly, that's because he's not entirely convinced either. He's not convinced of anything and that's his problem.

It's a little disappointing that she doesn't know much more than she's already shared, but he gives a little shrug. "It was worth asking," he says. And it was. It hasn't yielded any new information but there's nothing wrong with giving it a shot. Can't win them all. "That's pretty much all I've gleaned, too, so I guess we're equally ignorant to this place. I get the feeling that ignorance, though, is not bliss, so we should probably change that sooner than later. Just saying." And he isn't opposed to working with her toward that goal, he's just not going to tell her what he thinks he really is because it isn't worth it to him to share something that could get him killed. He doesn't know her well enough to know that she's not indiscriminate and he doesn't want to find out the hard way if she is. Again.

With an amused huff, Derek relaxes back onto the mattress. It's nearing time for the SleepAid if the curfew is any indication. "Yeah...there's pretty much nothing to like about this place, is there?"

She thinks it's a fairly common thing here not to be convinced about anything, particularly the glitches and memories, but then she hasn't talked to that many people about it.

"There's no such thing as stupid questions, or something like that. At least that's what teachers tell you. I'm not sure I ever believed them though." She shifts a little to get more comfortable. "I get the feeling nothing is bliss here," she sighs. "You're not wrong though about learning."

She turns on her side a little. "The people aren't half bad," she says with a soft smile. "So we're gonna work together, on the learning thing?" She knows it's getting time for the SleepAid as well and tonight she's not going to hate it because it'll mean that she won't ache the whole night.

Derek gives a little huff of laughter. "That is such bullshit. There is absolutely such a thing as stupid questions," he points out with a smirk, looking over at her. "Teachers say that garbage so that the stupid people don't feel so stupid. Even though they're stupid."

...tell us how you really feel, Derek.

"I haven't met a whole lot of them," Derek admits. "A handful at my troubleshooting station, but I don't think they were Specials. And this woman Felicity this morning who spilled coffee down the front of me. And now you," he says with a little shrug. "So far, everyone seems okay, but I don't really know anyone well enough to say anything other than that the people don't seem half bad, yet," he admits.

He watches her as she turns on her side and again that thought that he should be able to ease some of her physical pain crops up and it frustrates him enough for him to shut it back down almost immediately. "We'd probably get more information faster if we did," he offers. Derek's eyes move to the clock on the wall. "...we'll talk in more detail tomorrow, though, because I feel like trying to start a conversation like that tonight is just asking for it to be interrupted with the sleeping gas."
