[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.

Ronan hesitates at that question because he can see how hard this is for Adam and he hates doing that to him. At the same time, he thinks this is probably more of a straw that broke the camel's back sort of deal. He's coping better with this place because Ronan has known who he is for a long time. Adam had just found that confidence and now it's swept out from underneath him.

"I don't know," he finally answers. "I guess 'til I lose long as they keep paying me."

No, this is not easy for Adam at all. He's going to have to distance himself from it to make it kind of tolerable. He'll still show up to Ronan's fights. He'll be gone when they're over though. He won't hang around to linger in the aftermath of them nor will he get there early to witness the prequel of them. There to make sure Ronan stays alive and then gone again.

"Right. Okay." He nods, not giving any argument either way, just blind acceptance that this is happening. He pushes the shower door open to step out. He sheds his wet jumpsuit and towels himself off before seeking out another dry jumpsuit. "When you get out you should put more stuff on those cuts." He adds on his way out.

I think this one is a wrap

Ronan hates this. He hates it and he understands it and he hates that he understands it. Money is safety, even in this place he knows that money has to equal safety. He'd seen it back home with Gansey and his money. He's trying to build something to protect Adam, to protect himself, trying to make this place a little more bearable for the both of them and instead, he's making it harder for Adam. That much is obvious.

When Adam steps out, Ronan watches him from under the showerhead, but when he finally leaves the bathroom with that bit of advice, he closes his eyes and turns the water up a little more, adds a little more heat to it. It'll be a long while before he comes out, pale skin red from the water and uncharacteristically quiet.
