OOC: Okay, finally, you have made it through and you can officially get your equipment requisitioned for this mission.  You have very little time, no time to stop and smell the air conditioner emissions.

Here is a recap as we begin the actual mission:





You are so anxious to serve the Computer faithfully that you run all the way back to Outfitting.

Since the first Outfitting officer was killed by an elicit laser blast, there is a new Outfitting guy here.

"Come on, come on," he says, trying to rush you through.  "Here's your equipment all ready to go.  This is for your services only.  Don't drink it yourselves or you could be cited for an illegal act taking away the happiness of Alpha Complex be depriving clones of their Computer mandated drinks.  Also," he says, as if anticipating the question and trying to put you through so he can get back to his vids, "PLC cannot provide weapons or armor for beverage dispensing missions.  Any questions?  No?"  He obviously doesn't want questions.

Here is your equipment sitting neatly on the floor waiting for you:


"Oh," the PLC clerk says, "I almost forgot.  Those over there," and he points to some crates, "are supplies assigned to you for your service services, a repair errand on behalf of an Internal Security firm called 'Better Endings.'  That's all I know.  Don't bother asking me about it."  He turns back to his vid.

Service service equipment:



"To repeat," the clerk says, not looking up at you, "I know nothing and won't even speculate about whatever your required service service is.  They'll probably tell you once you get to the Termination Center."  And now he does look up, with a wicked sadistic grin, "...if you're lucky."

He looks at his own PDC and then back at you.  "I hope you plan to get these things carted up and hurry.  My clock says you're supposed to be at the Happy Homecoming Automated Euthanasia Center in VWV Sector in under 20 minutes.  Navigating the winding maze of office hallways to get down there to the deepest sanctum of VWV Internal Security Headquarters will take at least 19 and a half minutes, assuming you even know where you're going.  And security's tight, so I sure hope your records are clear and your not at all treasonous."  He smiles wickedly again, as if wishing he could be there.  "I heard about the...uh...mishap with the last Outfitting officer.  Good luck."

BUMP.
(This shows up later in the list because I previously typed it all up previously in anticipation of this part of the mission and just saved it in a group you can't read.)

please hold off on thread three for just a little while, I need to rock the boat a little before we leave R&D...

The rest of you can post here while Seth works out his mutation envy.  :)

"Vell," Lynn says, looking at all the service supplies, "Let's us get to za termination center, no?  Zeze drinks vil make condemned very happy, yes?"  She grabs a cart of stuff to push to the termination center.

Gunther distributes the equipment:

Handing 1
"100-sheetpads of Form VWV/CL-TS-BBB/TC-1A, "Pleasant Experience Directive Beverage Service Tracking Statistics (To Be Verified Through Video Recordings)"
 "Proudly Serving My Fellow Citizen" black pens with black ink
83 foam cups
83 plastic stirrers
83 red napkins
 1 red "Happy Service!" aprons
 1 red "How May I help You?" apron pins
To each team member

Handing to  the team leade 1 red "Pleasant Experience Team Leader" chef's hat and waiting on his input on the following:
2 foam cups
2 plastic stirrers
2 red napkins
3 5-kilo cannisters powdered CoffeeLike (makes 75-100 servings)
1 case pseudolactate fungal residue (for the CoffeeLike)
3 5-kilo cannisters powdered TeaSir (makes 75-100 servings)
3 crates Bouncy Bubble Beverage canned sodas (72 cans/crate, 216 cans total)
1 pair Snippies (small thread scissors)
2 PerkyLators (S5M impact damage) for CoffeeLike and TeaSir
2 red tablecloths
2 drink carts

Service service equipment:
1 crate (200-count) New and Improved Fresh Orangelyke Fungal Blossom Scent Balls
1 plastic pouch of six number-2 (that is, teeny tiny) ball bearings
1 tube of SqueekyGate oil
1 stainless steel monkeywrench (S5K impact)
1 ten-centimeter half-round bastard file
1 box of 20 electroprod rubber handles

Volunteering for keeping the secret service monkeywrench as he is the the equipment guy.

"Certainly nice to have an equipment guy around to handle that," Lynn says, complimenting Gunther with a smile.

Seth offers a minor correction to Gunther's distribution of the supplies.  The bulk of the supplies will be carried on the two carts, with the hygine officer being responsible for one cart and the equipment guy for the other.

The Hygine officer's cart will contain:

 2 PerkyLators
 6 Cannisters of TeaSir and CoffeeLike
 1 case pseudolactate
 250 foam cups
 250 plastic stirrers
 250 red napkins
 1 red tablecloth
 1 pair Snippies

The Equipment Guy's cart will contain:

 250 foam cups
 250 plastic stirrers
 250 red napkins
 3 crates Bouncy Bubble Beverage canned sodas
 1 red tablecloth

The Equipment Guy will also maintain custody of all the equipment for the repair job until such a time as they are required for our duties.

"That's the best I can do to comply with the regulations I'm aware of.  Does anyone know of a regulation that directs or prohibits canned sodas from being served from foam cups?  We may need those cups for the coffee/tea service."

With that he directs the team to set off at a brisk pace for VWV sector.

Lynn says, "How happy of both of you to cooperate so, yes?"

I think if the hygiene officer certifies himself that all the can meet the adequate cleanliness level I see no reason why we should use the cups, This way we are preserving the cups to when their need is appropriate.

There are no rules about drinking from the cans.  Once you get to the termination center, I'll explain details.  Essentially, it's a matter of juggling the time it takes to serve with other duties and making it all work out without dying or getting caught.

OOC: You have your laser pistols (for the moment) but no barrels (so they're pretty much worthless, no firing).  Funny that question should be asked now because...

CHECKPOINT 1
(Tension Level 18)

You arrive at a large cargo elevator connecting to no other floors.  No stairs either.  The idea is to keep IntSec committed to proper elevator maintenance.  So far, it's worked.  Just in case, a locked steel cabinet holds climbing gear for up to 6 people, replaced and tested annually, and custom made for these particular elevator shafts.

The cargo elevator leads you down to the main floor of IntSeq HQ (designated Floor VWVHHAEC-1), where four GREEN goons insist you deposit all weapons and your PDC's.

As you recall, "GREEN goon" is synonymous with "stupid and corrupt," so it's possible Concealment, Bootlicking and Bribery specialties may work wonders.
