daycycle 105

[Aug 28 - Sept 3]

Early Morning [0800 - 0900] — All Troubleshooters Report for Duty
Felicity Smoak and Natasha Romanoff, have been selected for today’s mission. Details are below:

‘In order to help us improve our combat simulators, you will need to run through any combat situation you encounter at least three times. On the second pass through, engage the combat at a greater range than originally. On the third pass through, attempt it at a much closer range. You will provide tactical notes to our staff afterwards. If the simulators catch fire, or fail to respond to override commands... note that too. The eggheads were supposed to have fixed that.’

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 1700 in Hangar 15, Armed Forces Sector and will be hosted by the Alpha Complex Dogeball Association. Join us for a game of Alpha Dodgeball! All clearance levels above INFRARED welcome.

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.

"Yeah, it doesn't look like fun," he says giving a small shake of his head. "Unless you meant, meeting me in which case you're probably not the first to feel that way."

He smiles back at her, hopefully conveying that he's joking. "I'm one of the other Specials. I've been meaning to introduce myself, but things have been kind of crazy..." He shrugs. "Or you know, Tuesday around here."

"How are you? Are people giving you problems?"

Okay, it's cheesy, but it makes her laugh anyway, which hurts a little, but is worth it.

She got the joke part. "Yeah, I noticed the crazy. I also noticed that it seems to be never ending. At least we're not bored?" She's not entirely sure that makes up for all of the crazy, but they've got to look on the bright side here.

She shakes her head at his question. "I mean, not really. I got these during the whole thing yesterday. I'm on very special forces. We were elected to go help out." She glances around a little. "I think I'm getting used to things here. As used to them as you can get. It's all... a lot."

"Sometimes I miss bored," he confesses, lowering his voice so that those around them won't hear them and accuse them of treason. Not that he was that bored when he was at home. There were days though, when he wondered why he hadn't relished the ability to sit around marathoning Bar Rescue.

At least she wasn't being targeted. ASS had a history of trying to attack those Specials who were the most vulnerable. Then again, you didn't get put into Very Special Forces if you were that vulnerable. He took a sip of his drink.

"You must work with Steve."

Buffy laughs a little at that. "We are so same team there." Though, her life hasn't been boring enough in the last several years that she ever got more than a handful of America's Top Model marathons. She'd kind of relished those.

She's counting that as good luck as well. No, she's not vulnerable but she's so much more vulnerable than she used to be. She thinks and prepares before walking into the dark. She used to scare things that lived in the dark, or at least she did if her glitches can be relied on. There are days here that she wants to hide under her bed, days that she refuses to do just that.

She smirks at that. "I'm his favorite employee." Add a 'least' in there and it'd probably be closer to the truth. She likes Steve though. She's just not sure it goes both ways. "How do you know him?"

"Yeah?" The question is earnest. Barry hasn't had much interaction with Steve, but he's had enough to know that he wouldn't mind impressing him. It's not exactly a stretch of the imagination to see Steve as the hero that he says he is.

The question makes him pause, even though there's an easy answer. He's not sure how much Steve's favorite employee might know about the Specials network and headquarters. "We were assigned on a mission together. It was kind of a bonding experience."

"And by that, I mean it was terrifying."

In some ways, Buffy had felt the same way, but she'd wanted to impress him her way rather than by pretending to be something she's not. When he'd finally begun to be impressed by her the day of the riot, it had felt good. She smiles a little and shakes her head. "Probably not really. I'm not much of a ticky-tacky soldier. He's nice though, a good boss."

Buffy gives him a dubious look. "What happened?" She hasn't been assigned a mission yet, not unless the riots count.

"Well, some cockroaches got into a drug they were testing in Technical Services and suddenly we found ourselves assigned to fighting giant cockroaches." He pauses. "It's pretty much as disgusting as it sounds."

"He was great though. The army background definitely helped out. Also the whole saving the world part." He grinned at her. "You should ask him about that if you don't know about it. It's a pretty good story."

"Wow...that's...why are they producing drugs to make things giant?" Because she thinks that's the real concern here.Giant anything could do some real damage.

Buffy hesitates because she does know that story, actually, but she knows it as a fictional story. She'd like to know how it varies from the real one. "I'll do that sometime." Probably when he doesn't want to wring her neck. Oh, who are we kidding? She'll ask about the story when they're in the middle of something and she feels like distraction is just the thing they need.

"That's a very good question. One that I'm not sure we want to know the answer to." Alpha felt claustrophobic enough without giant cockroaches or anything else rampaging through it. Not to mention the fact that a lot of damage could be done by say a giant person. Steve in particular had seemed concerned about that idea.

"If it helps any, the lab got destroyed in the destruction. So they'll have to start from scratch."

No one wants giant cockroaches and Buffy has had some experience with giant people and the damage done. She'd rather not have a giant anything here.

"That definitely helps. The cockroach is kaput?" Because that's important too.
