It has been a harrowing month after the traitor investigations.  You thought you might be demoted back to an INFRARED or worse...terminated.

But then...

You awaken in the dark.  The last thing you remember is bedding down for sleepcycle, followed by nightmares involving truncheons and hypodermic needles.  You feel a metallic stasis collar around the base of your skull sending a strong electric current through your spine, completely immobilizing you.  You hear a crackling noise coming from the darkness high above.  A muted burbling issues from behind one wall.

The lights snap on.  You seem to be in a briefing room, with several camera eyes peering down.  You are all strapped to identical metal chairs bolted to the metal floor.  Hot, bright lights glare from the stained ceiling tiles.  In one corner an implanted wall speaker crackles with the noise you heard earlier.  Across the room, a mirrored panel stretches from wall to wall.  Undoubtedly, behind the panel lies an observation room.

Everyon has lumps and bruises in various visible spots, except Gunther, who has none.

A voice over the loudspeaker, not The Computer, but some human you don't know:



There is a pause for you to reply, but you cannot move your heads or speak.



The lights dim.  The stasis collars on the backs of your necks shut off, allowing you to move.  The straps on your chairs slide back, freeing you.  A door slides open to a RED Clearance hallway: the exit.  There is just enough light to navigate the room and get out.  The intercom has switched off.

You each have your PDCs, ME Cards and personal equipment.  No laser barrels, though.

In the room is Bruce, CL, Gunther, Joseph, Lynn, and Seth.  As the intercom person noted, Seth is your new team leader.

OOC:  You have one hour to get your equipment outfitted, meet with your secret society contacts (if you can!), determine what your mandatory bonus duty will be (except, of course, for Seth), and any other actions before you have to meet at the termination center.

Gunther makes his way to get his MBD first.

"Right then, there's no time to spare." Seth raises his finger and points dramatically at Gunther, who was the first to get up after the briefing. "You, mutie, will be the equipment officer.  Report to the outfitting warehouse immediately and requisition all equipment and supplies necessary for implementing regulation PEC-V-9A-65992B at Termination Center VWV-3C."

He then briefly considers the rest of his crew and declares "Joseph, you're the recording officer. Bruce, you are appointed as loyalty officer. Lynn will be the happiness officer and CL is assigned to monitor hygene.  Any problems?"

Eh You are not the one that assigns MBD's The Computer does that... Gunther points out.

Seth draws a deep breath and disdainfully begins a short tirade, "Your mutation must be the power to ignore vital mission details.  I distinctly recall that our first instruction to complete after the briefing was to appoint the duties amongst ourselves.  Do you want to request that the computer do this for us, in direct contradiction of our mission profile?"

Okay off to PLC I am.

"I shall make sure this team says clean!" CL announces and runs off to find and clean his equipment.

"Sir, yes leader sir" Joeph states as he begins to look around for the camera and recording devices or his job

Lynn frowns, and her eyes narrow, making a very unpleasant crease on her forehead.  "Happiness officer," she says in an unusual accent that The Computer must have programmed into her for a reason.  "Vee must all be happy!" she orders, pointing at each of you.  "Be happy or die unhappy, you understand, yes?  The Computer is villing to help us, but vee must all help ourselves, and that starts vith being happy!"

Her voice booms militaristically, and she snaps her jackboots together, straightens, and salutes the team leader.

"Vee all s'vare our loyalty to you.  Vee shall meet in exactly vun hour, yes?"  She points at everyone accusingly.  "Veing late vill not make our glorious team leader happy, and then I shall have to cite you.  Understand?"

She turns to Seth.

"I have given my happiness lecture.  You may dismiss them now."  She salutes again.

After saluting, she guzzles down a Bouncy Bubbling beverage.

glukglukglukglukglukgluk

After drinking, for the first time since she's been here, she manages a smile that is still strict and unwielding and would send many men running in fear.

Lynn also carries a crop like those used for whipping horses.  She slaps it against her leg and says, "Vell, be happy, everyvun.  I order it so!"

You agree to meet up in outfitting in half an hour.  Each of you has...uh...personal preparations to make.

In other words, time to check up on your secret society contacts!

Tension Level 5

You each arrive at Outfitting.  You can't believe it was so easy to find! For once, you didn't get lost and you still have...20 minutes until you have to report for duty.

The Outfitting officer seems bored and disinterested in you.  "Mission number?" he requests.  Your PDC switches over to "19 MINUTES."

PEC-V-9A-65992B. Gunther responds. With a smile on his face.

He plugs it into the computer and frowns.  "I'm not seeing that number.  Perhaps you are in error, for certainly our friend The Computer is not in error.  Or perhaps you are to receive no equipment.  Check with your team leader."

Gunther returns to the team leader: "Got it. We are to be assigned nothing. Let us go, maybe we could get some fun gadgets at R&D... Boy I love those gadgets."

You all hear a beep from Seth's PDC.  It is exactly one hour and exactly the time you're supposed to be showing up for outfitting here.

OOC: I think you let a part of his private message visible

"What was that beep about valorous team leader?"

-pm-

PM

"Oh yeah there is a slim possibility that the Guy at PLC is a traitor and is voluntarily saying we got no assigned equipment in order to put this mission and alpha complex in trouble, I Strongly suggest you state our next order valorous team leader."

Lynn says, "Vee must all be happy, vith or vithout equipment.  But I prefer vith it, it you please."  She looks over at Seth, her riding crop tucked under her arm.

After Lynn's statement Gunther eagerly smiles looking toward the team leader for a decision in this moment of crisis.

Seth receives Gunther's information with a puzzled look then declares "As equipment officer it is your responsibility to requisition the supplies the computer has allotted to us. Failing to do so is insubordination. I'm recommending you be fined appropriately- you're just not trying hard enough." 



"That was an alarm I set for timekeeping purposes. Don't you know that timeliness is essential when serving the Computer?" He looks at Gunther slightly askance before putting the PDC away and approaching the outfitting officer.

"Greetings friend!  My equipment officer has reported that we were not assigned equipment to troubleshoot an important matter for The Computer.  Please double check index PEC-V-9A-65992B-TC-VWV-3C."

"Good then as the equipment officer I am requesting your PDC for a surprise inspection. Not attendance to that implies on a hefty fine." Gunther states.

"Certainly your vigilance is commendable, equipment officer, but don't your responsibilities only apply to Computer assigned equipment?  Using one's assigned office to confiscate personal property reeks of communism, you aren't a communist- are you, Mutie?"

Ahem
Gunther pulls ot his equipment guy badge and reads it.




By refusing to Undergo Your RSI you are performing an act of treason. I noticed your PDC went off for no reason I must inspect it, failure to comply with that is an act of treason.
This message was last edited by the player at 05:36, Fri 12 Dec 2008.

"And there are 4 other clones here willing to testify your treason in not cooperating with the RSI. As some might know what happens when a Team's leader's traitorous acts are not hampered by the Team members." Gunther says looking towards CL-R, he knows that oughtta give him flashbacks. Gunther do is smiling though.

Seth grins winningly at Gunther as he immediately takes out his his PDC for inspection.

"I *knew* I chose well in selecting our equipment guy! Gunther-R-BOK-3 you are doing an outstanding job in informing the team of equipment policy.  We did things very differently in Threat Assessment, I am glad that you are here to share the valuable experience you have gained through learning from your previous mistakes on troubleshooting teams."

He goes to hand over the PDC then pauses, "Of course, there is the matter of the communication from a high-clearance citizen addressed explicitly to the Team Leader that coincidentally arrived at the same time my alarm went off.  From the honored Computer's warnings I know how tempting your kind find potentially treasonous activity, so I didn't want to expose you to the possibility of inadvertently being exposed to information that it would be Treasonous for you to view.

I should have realized that THE former loyalty officer Gunther from the vids would be experienced enough not to do such a thing accidentally.  It's brought me such great happiness to see you work, here is the PDC willingly and promptly submitted for RSI."

Seth hands it over with a flourish then carefully observes Gunther's RSI with a rapt and joyous expression.  He has never seen an actual Troubleshooter Equipment Inspection in person, and is obviously quite interested in the procedure.
This message was last edited by the player at 06:44, Fri 12 Dec 2008.

Gunther smiles and takes the PDC. He carefully inspects its outside conservation first. Searching for scratches, Bitemarks, possible drop damages and the such.
Next he tests the keyboard and the touch screen

Gunther inspects the PDC.

The outfitting officer stands there typing into the computer as Gunther does the inspection.  "Ah, yes, I do have that number," he says to the number given by TL Seth.  "But it says here before I issue that equipment, you are to report to R&D.  I will send the sector and coordinates to the Team Leader's PDC as soon as the Equipment Guy's inspection is complete."

All seems to be working perfectly, the timer is a picosecond early but I fixed that. Great work team leader now I know why you are the Team leader Your ability to maintain your own equipment is exemplary.

"Everyone needs a cleanliness check before the mission starts. A clean team is a team that will succeed!" he announces and begins to look over everyone with his PHTCMK and conducts quick PHTs. When finished he nods to the team leader, "Everyone is ready team leader!"

((OK, now I get to see how this rolling and PP stuff works...))

((I would like to roll to notice any chicanery on Gunther's part during the inspection of my PDC.))

Lynn sidles close to CL, "Vee shall make sure every-vun is clean and happy, no?"

"Clean and happy is needed for optimal success." He agrees.

Lynn says, "If it vil help, I vill tell you the story of the Siberian camel in Alpha Complex.  But I must vorn you, it is a humping story!"  She laughs twice in quick succession and looks around to make sure everyone else laughs too.

"I have Personality Stabilizer Drugs to administer if that is not funny to you," she says.

CL bursts out laughing, he had been the happiness officer once before and has a good sense of humor.

Seth lets loose with a hearty chuckle. "Spectacular joke, Lynn.  None of mine can hold a camel to that one!"

Gunther laughs enthusiastically then asks: "What is a camel citizen? And what is Siberian? I realize it is an adjective for its usage before the noun "camel" but what quality does it entrusts the noun in question?"

Seth's laugh slowly fades after hearing Gunther's remark.  He turns to Lynn and says "Yes, it makes a wonderful rime for candle, but now that I think of it I've never actually heard of a robot called 'Siberian Camel' before.  Are they a specialized model used in your service group?"
This message was last edited by the player at 00:29, Sat 13 Dec 2008.

Lynn says, "Obviously, you must have defect in your programming before your decanting to not know such a thing.  Or perhaps The Computer did not see fit to bestow you vith that knowledge.  But remember, ignorance is bliss...and be happy."  She slaps her crop across her knee with that demand.

She gives a Personality Stabilizer Drug to Seth after his smile fades and orders him to take it.

"Are you claiming that The computer picked a defective troubleshooter for our team leader?"

(Seth's smile nevere wavered, he just finished laughing)

"Ah Lynn, your zealous execution of your duty is noted and commended." Seth says as he accepts the drug, "However, your joke failed to make me sufficiently happy so I feel it necessary to recommend a fine in order to motivate you to redouble your efforts as happiness officer.  Joseph and Bruce did not laugh at all; I found it moderately amusing with my simple upbringing in the placid and loyal halls of creche BCK... but I feel that the entire group would benefit from a deeper understanding of the joke.  Proper comprehension of the humor will directly aid mission success by improving morale.  You are hereby ordered to execute your duty as happiness officer by telling us about your 'siberian camel' and its 'humping'.

The Team leader calls Bruce to his side before preparing to take the pill.  He requests the loyalty officer ready his notepad, then addresses Lynn:
 "Certainly I welcome the PSD if in your professional opinion I am suffering from SSM.  To ensure proper pharmatherapeutic dispensation protocol is followed with regards to the timing and quantity of future doses, please make a statement for the loyalty officer's records that you believe the computer assigned a clone with an unstable personality, defective programming, and sub-standard morale as Team Leader.  Further assert that you are taking the proper course of action to ensure the condition is properly treated and will not resurface."
This message was last edited by the player at 03:09, Sat 13 Dec 2008.

Suddenly seeming more alert than he had since being released from the chair, Bruce salutes, "Right away sir. Excellent idea."  Bruce hurries over to Seth's side, and gets out his ILTR1, opens it, and starts taking notes.

After a moment of writing, he briefly stretches his hand, resulting in a loud [grindPOPPOPcrackle] as he bends his fingers back to the back of his hand.  Turning to the next page, he looks at Lynn for her (possible) statement.

holds the carema

Lynn says to Seth, "Ah, I vuz testing you only, yes?  I do not know these vurds either.  Vut is Siberian camel and humping?  I do not know.  But those laughing must know of some treasonous knowledge, no?  Vie else do they laugh?  You as team leader should be votchful."  She makes some notes on her PDC after looking at each person who laughed at her joke.

"Vee must go to R&D, no?  Vie do you pause in taking us there, team leader.  Some hesitation in carrying out The Computer's assigned duties?"

Gunther wonders what a carema is and starts chewing on his pencil due to the tension.

All troubleshooters must maintain constant vigilance for any disloyal activities Lynn, but delaying the mission for random tests and questions is not the happiness officer's job and could be considered insubordination.  If you have a legitimate suspicion of treasonous activity then it is your duty to inform the Computer of it immediately. You cannot leap at every shadow and make veiled accusations against some of the most demonstrably loyal citizens of Alpha Complex.  If we were not all implicitly trustworthy then friend computer would not have elevated us to troubleshooters and allowed us to serve.
Friend Computer has made Alpha Compex the best possible utopia where all citizens may be happy and productive.  Believing all of one's companions to be traitors without any evidence is a sign of personality disorder. Please evaluate yourself for the personality disorder known as 'Paranoia' and medicate accordingly to restore happiness.

Seth claps her on the back with a big smile on his face now that the small matter had been set straight, then announces-

"Now, on to R&D!  We are officially on the job and must proceed with caution.  Those with multicorders should deploy them, the rest of you pay close attention to our environs."

So saying, Seth takes out his PDC and checks on the coordinates for the R&D facility we are to report to and sets off to lead the way.  He periodically takes his multicorder and waves it around at seemingly random people and things for good measure as they proceed on.

Gunther follow closely behind on the team leader chewing his pencil sharp.

Quickly scribbling in his ILTR1, Bruce noted "But where would you learn not one, not two, but three treasonous words?  And did you not laugh at your own joke about this 'cybeerian kamle'?  I shall have to inform The Computer about this at a later date."  Putting his ILTR1 away, he followed after the leader, noting to himself that Seth was recording things as they walked, just in case a Communist plot happened as the Troubleshooters passed by.

Let It be noted that I only laughed at the joke due to citizen's Lynn-R's funny way of speaking. She can say "Hi" and I will be laughing at her speech, another great pick from our valorous team leader as he picked the funniest Clone for keeping our morale up, AND it was me who first declared not to know what a "camel" is and what does the adjective "Siberian" refers to, so I was just trying to understand what Citizen Lynn-R meant by that, which she hasn't explained yet... But let us hurry to R&D I can't wait to see the Gadgets! Gunther states to his fellow mutant.

[ECHO!]

Gunther-R wonders why Seth-R is writing ECHO

"Is ECHO some kind of communist sign or code valorous team leader?"

Answering some questions I got:


Suddenly, the lights go off.  "Oh no, not again," says the Outfitting RED citizen in the pitch black darkness.  "I was just getting your destination for R&D.  I suspect some traitorous engineer is making the lights go off from time to time.  Give it about 30 seconds and it'll come back on.  That darned switchboard with all the outfitting equipment is blowing circuits or something."

IT IS PITCH BLACK IN THE OUTFITTING ROOM.  If you want to do anything during the long monologue of the outfitting officer or until the lights come back on, here's your chance!

CL stays quiet during the conversation trying to notice if anyone was spitting during the talking. He notes down some unclean behavior and watches.

"I don't hear anyvun laughing," Lynn says.  "How can I judge your happiness in darkness unless you are laughing?"

Seth lets the outfitter's monotonous monologue wash over him, listening intently for any sign of a threat.

Are you saying that you are unable to fulfill your duty citizen Lynn-R?

Lynn says, "I am saying you are insubordinate by not cooperating with me so I can fulfill the mandatory bonus duty The Computer has lovingly given us."

PM

Lynn says, "Why did the faithful Troubleshooter cross the road?  Because our friend, The Computer, told him to."  She utters a short laugh and listens for more laughter.

Bursting out in great guffaws of laughter, Bruce replies to the joke with a, "It's funny, because that it exactly why a Troubleshooter would cross a road!"  Calming down slightly from his short fit of laughter, Bruce will say, "I would officially include that joke in my review of this mission, but it is too dark to write in my ILTR as of now."

"Hahah very good one."

Joseph quietly and carefully feels around the entrances, trying to remember where he is
This message was last edited by the player at 02:35, Thu 18 Dec 2008.

Seth chuckles heartily at Lynn's latest joke and congratulates himself again for his excellent intuitive understanding of the team that had lead him to choose her as Morale Officer.  A good MO could make even treasonous plots to shroud the distribution office in darkness a little less depressing.

CL squeaks and says, "But you a credit the lights will come on after 30 seconds."

OOC: If you haven't said exactly what your character is doing while the lights are out, make sure you let me know (in private or by public message).  Otherwise, I'll assume you're just standing there talking or doing nothing.

The lights are out, and lasers flash across the room!  There is a grunt, and a moment later, a crash near where the Outfitting officer was at.
There is a quick flicker of the lights.
The lights come back on, and you see that the Outfitting officer is on the ground...dead.  CL is also laying on the ground, while Joseph is standing near the exit.  Seth has been injured by a laser blast in the arm.  Cigarettes lay at the feet of Lynn, as though dropped.
This message was last edited by the GM at 22:00, Mon 22 Dec 2008.

Lynn says to Seth, "It looks like you are burning vith desire to serve our friend, Zha Computer."  She laughs forcefully and looks around to make sure everyone is happy.

Gunther observes his fellow's reactions cautiously wondering who is the commie traitor that might have shot the outfitting officer. The fact that CL-R is on the ground is also rather suspicious in itself.

"I am assuming our hygiene officer is inspecting the ground? You should check the ground near Lynn-R."

Lynn inspects the ground and picks up the thing that is next to her feet.  "Did somebody lose something?" she says, raising an eyebrow.

She goes over to inspect the Outfitting citizen, and also to check the computer to see if she can find out where everyone is supposed to go for R&D.

"You should report this...accident...immediately," she says to the recording officer and team leader with a look down at the Outfitting citizen.

CL swipes his finger against the ground and inspects his white glove, "Very clean indeed. However, the Outfitting Officer's blood is staining the floor. We should report it to so it can get proper sanitation."
He then stands and walks over to the fallen cigarettes and points, "I am happy to point out that those are very dirty. You should dispose of them immediately. You must be clean and happy."
"Seth, you should let me clean your uniform immediately. Your blood will stain if it is not quickly dealt with." He says politely to the leader.

Offering a hand to support his superior officer, Bruce eyes the cigarettes.  "Smoking is an very unclean, not to mention smelly habit.  I would recommend that you stop as soon as you can Lynn.  What kind of cigarettes are they?  I may know a Troubleshooter who would be happy to take them off your hands.

"Would you like me to call a docbot for you, Seth?  It seems as though the traitor who killed this outfitting officer attempted to eliminate our glorious leader."  Taking a mental snapshot of everybody's positions for his notes later, he tried to remember the direction the laser shots had come from in an attempt to possibly deduce who the traitor was.

The first thing Lynn notices while observing everyone's happiness is the downright predatory grin on Seth's face as he reaches for his SectorSecure standard-issue CloneWrangler Electric Cattleprod with one hand, and into a pocket with the other. "In its infinite foresight, Friend computer saw fit to equip me with with these!" With a flourish he produces a set of infrared spectrum goggles.

"I observed these mutie commie scumbags collude to abet and execute a communist plot!" He declares, leveling the prod at Bruce and Gunther in turn. "The evidence of their Treason and collusion is undeniable! Their weapons are still hot and Gunter knew about the cigarettes that Bruce planted near Lynn in the darkness- no doubt a pathetic plot to somehow discredit our valorous morale officer.  Even if those mutant freaks try to deny the charges it will be impossible for them to deny that they fired their weapons- any of you could feel the barrel and determine for yourselves... if they want to claim that the deliberate attack on their team leader and assassination of the equipment officer was a mere accident then I'd have you consider this- why didn't they ask their team leader what to do in a Tactical situation, as was their duty?  It's Treason either way!"

He finishes in a roar, his face animated with delight at uncovering a conspiracy his first day on the job as he pokes Gunther with the prod.

Seth is making a formal accusation of Treason against Gunther

Seth is also making a roll to attack Gunther with the stun prod
This message was last edited by the player at 05:21, Tue 23 Dec 2008.

Lynn smiles, apparently truly happy about Seth's accusation and uncovering of a plot.  "Your treason uncovering ways are most admirable, team leader," she says, taking a step closer to stand at his side.  "Perhaps vee should know vie they killed the Outfitting officer, no?"

She hands the cigarettes to Seth.  "These are not mine, as you say.  I vuz being set up, it seems."  She still looks to see if the address of R&D is on the computer screen.

"You are the one who has been reeking of treason from the start of the mission! I am positively sure You are the one who fired at the the Outfitting officer, not only that but after you called code ECHO the lights went out..."

Gunther is firing his laser at Seth since he is being attacked.

He is also making an formal accusation against Seth-R.

CL moves to the side frantically and takes out his cleaning kit, "Stop! Your going to crinkle your uniforms!"

Lynn also dodges the flying fire and says, "Vell then, Gunther, shouldn't you inspect our fearless team leader's laser to make sure it has discharged?  You are zha equipment guy, no?  That you shoot before inspection makes me question your loyalty to zha Computer.  You are also yelling, and that shows you are unhappy, and unhappiness is the sign of a traitor vith a guilty conscience, no?"

"I must protect our team leader!" Lynn says.  Lynn fires her laser at Gunther because he is a traitor and to protect the team leader.

Seth does not have a laser... it'll be hard to make that charge stick :P

I had forgotten that!  Of course, Seth might have one hidden traitorously somewhere, as may others...

(I'm going to have to revise and say that you each have a laser barrel.  Sorry if that messes up anything; my mistake.  I've got too many things running through my brain to remember them all!)

So when you arrived, you were each outfitted with a laser barrel too!

I hate when I do something like this.

Seth hits Gunther with the stun prod, and Gunther is stunned as he falls backward.  Gunther's shot goes wild, and Lynn also misses.  (Perversity points applied.)

With the lights on, the security camera is focusing on the dead Outfitting officer.  An alarm goes off.

Lynn finds that the Outfitting officer was hit squarely between the eyes.  He had no chance.

A moment later, the door opens, and you expect to find IntSec breathing down your throats with another drawn out and painful interrogation.  But it is...

...[drum roll please]...

...the Outfitting officer!  You look once at his dead body, and once at the live one that came through the door before realizing that this is his next clone.

He shoos Lynn away from his computer, hurriedly types something in and hands Seth a printout.  "This is where you go for R&D.  Please get out of here before you screw anything else up."  He also pushes a button to stop the alarm but calls for a scrubot to clean up the mess.  "I have another Troubleshooter group due here in 2 minutes," he says.  "Scram, or I'll be sent to Happy Homecoming myself!"

He seems oblivious to the fact that you have lasers drawn and are making treason threats.

(I will have to work out the treason threats separately.  Anyone can continue the trash talk IC, as desired.)
This message was last edited by the GM at 18:36, Wed 24 Dec 2008.

Lynn says to CL, "You should inspect Seth's uniform, no?  He's got a serious laser burn in it now, not very clean and tidy.  But be happy about it."  Lynn puts her laser pistol away and says to Gunther, "That vuz just a vorning shot.  Next time, I don't miss."

She does a 10 second tap routine to lighten the air, and checks to see if everyone is smiling.

CL begins to clean Seth's uniform, "Please happily stand still our glorious leader. You shall soon be clean!"

As soon as Gunther is though babbling incoherently He demands a full RSI on everyone's Equipment in order to find out who fired their guns during the darkness time.

IntSec arrives as Gunther is starting his RSI equipment inspection.

Seth accuses Gunther...but the IntSec officer furls his brow and has Seth taken away as a traitor as soon as Gunther mentions that Seth is the traitor.  There are no chances.  His memory will be scoured and his body wrung through a thorough interrogation...after his brain is removed for examination.

(Seth rolled a critical miss on the accusation, thus implicating himself very badly, and Gunther barely succeeded in his accusation.)

Before leaving, IntSec demands everyone turn over their laser barrels, although they allow Gunther to inspect them first..."although there is no reason to, as we have captured the traitor," they say.

One of them says into a comlink, "We need a new clone for Seth-R-BCK-1 delivered to outfitting immediately."  Then they give Seth a shot in the arm, and the world goes blank for him.

Seth's new clone (Seth-2) arrives a few minutes later.  The Outfitting office is still trying to shoo you to R&D before you make him late for his duties.

And Gunther-R has unmasked the traitor yet AGAIN! Gunther performs a victory dance. "I wonder if we shall be assigned to a non traitorous team leader this time." he says eagerly waiting for the new team leader.

"It should be so" Joseph said while recording

CL inspects Seth2 and nods in approval of the clean uniform and appearance, "Where to team leader?"

"Shall vee at last make it on to R&D?" Lynn suggests, raising an eyebrow.
