It is a lovely day in Alpha Complex. The overhead lights shed a constant 22.5 lumens per watt, the bots are chirping, and InfraRed citizens bustle along to and from work on their properly mandated schedules. The VidShows bring everyone the latest news ("Have mutants infected
your toothpaste?") and products ("Buy AlphaStrong Bouncy Bubble Beverage Today! It's the only beverage that prevents treasonous thoughts! Are you eager to keep having treasonous thoughts?"). The occasional Vulture roars past overhead, no doubt out to dispense some indiscriminate justice to some misguided traitors. Everyone just tries to stay out of the way of the Warbots that periodically make their way through the crowds.
Video cameras in the walls, the ceilings, and especially the bathrooms quietly convey knowledge of the citizenry's every movement and action, helping IntSec guard them from themselves. Well, except for the places where the cameras are broken. Where are those places? What is your clearance level, Citizen? And watching all is The Computer, making certain that every little thing goes just right.
But as the Vultures and warbots suggest, all is not well in Alpha Complex. Somewhere out there, mutants and traitors are plotting and scheming their schemes, hoping to bring down Friend Compute and the whole of humanity. And for a few individuals, they find proof of this when they receive a message from their Personal Data Devices:
You are scheduled to appear at 1000 hours at briefing room 423 in Central Processing Building UN-0W3N for a mission briefing.
-Friend Computer
Thought of the Day: Exemplary is the mind too small for treason.
A mission briefing! The Computer has a task for its loyal troubleshooters!
****
It is now 0950 hours, 3 hours after the summons to briefing was issued. The door to Briefing Room 423 slides open to admit any troubleshooters who have arrived early. The room itself is fairly spacious, with enough capacity to seat 50 people and a lectern at the front of the room. A lone scrub bot is trying to clean the room, but seems to have gotten itself stuck in a corner; slamming into it every couple of seconds. A closed door can be seen at the far end of the room.
