  If it weren't for your shiny new red jumpsuit, you might almost think this was a day like any other in your life here in DMM Sector. After all, you're sitting at the same processing line you've always worked at in your service firm alongside the same INFRAREDs you've always known. And yet... it's not like any other day. For one thing, the medicinal haze of your prior INFRARED life has begun to fade. For another, the hint of jealousy in your co-workers' eyes is certainly new. You wonder how long it will be before your friend, The Computer, asks you to heroically serve it and all Alpha Complex.
  
  Suddenly the RED clearance supervisor for your shift appears waving a small printout at you as he strides slowly forward.
   "Looks like our high and mighty Troubleshooter has to go have a mission,"  he says broadly to the others before turning directly to you.  "Don't worry. I'm sure the rest of us will enjoy making up the difference in today's quota."  You hear some faint groans of disapproval.
  
  Your hands tremble for just a moment as you take the printout and see the RED border around it. This is it, Troubleshooter! Your first mission assignment! While you haven't yet met your fellow troubleshooters, you are certain they are all very happy, patriotic, and not at all Communist people. Aren't you excited?
  
   
   Spoiler: You turn over the printout and read the following...

   GM: Note that your characters are not together yet. Would you like to ask questions of your supervisor or The Computer? Make a rousing speech about your newfound greatness? Stop by your barracks to collect your things? Rush straight to the platform tripping over desks and fellow workers on your way out? Be sure to be descriptive. Remember, entertainment and  dramatic  advantage (instead of mechanical advantage, like your stats) are the name of the game.

  Hunter excitedly looks around at the infrareds around him, looking to say goodbye to his friends. Remembering that he does not in face actually have any friends, and in fact owes several of them a great deal of credits (he bet on the other sector's team at the mandatory Exercise-Fun games last week), he instead decides to head out as quietly as possible, then rush over to the Tubeway to catch the transbot.

conversations:  Linda was so happy to finally have a chance to serve Alpha Complex further than by just doing regular menial tasks and RED clearance work.
  
  So like any good, patriotic citizen of Alpha Complex, She immediately headed off towards that designated place, bringing along all her gear: happy pills, napnap time pills, boots, overalls, etc.
  everything was brought along, an extra dose of happytime happy-pills was taken to boost her mood.

conversations:  Ray received his paper and made a bit of a show of reading his orders directly from Friend Computer in front of all the menial infrared's he was surrounded by.   "Transbot Tubeway Platform A8:C7:60:FF? I know exactly where that is!"   He salutes his previous coworkers before walking briskly off in exactly the wrong direction.

  You gather your things and make your way to the Tubeway. As you approach you look up at the RED sign above the entrance. You have walked by this terminal many times in your mundane life, but this is the first time you will have passed under it. A momentous occasion indeed! Walking through the short tunnel you arrive on the small, concrete platform. Lights hum overhead and an empty track sits to one side. It seems you are the first to arrive.
  
  After waiting but a couple exciting minutes another RED female who looks equally awed steps in. She is smiling from ear to ear. Given the time of day, and everyone else should be at work in this sector, you safely assume she is likely on the same squad as you.

  There is one other RED-Clearance citizen standing on the platform when you arrive. Given the time of day and most other people in your sector are at work, you consider that he may be on the same squad as you.
   
  
   
   Spoiler: Ray 
  You confidently place your things in your bag and march right out the front door! Hanging a right you walk toward your destination. A few minutes of walking later, the loudspeaker chimes overhead in the familiar voice of your friend, The Computer.   "Citizen Ray-R-UYT-1. You were instructed to move immediately to the designated Transtube platform for delivery to your mission briefing. Two of your fellow Troubleshooters have already arrived. Where are you going?"  
  You realize you probably should have made it there by now. You were certain it was just a few blocks to the rig--- oh shoot. It was left, wasn't it? Or did you miss a turn? You pass the darn thing nearly every day, how could you have missed it?

conversations:  "Right, right, sorry!"   Blushing slightly at his error, Ray does a quick about face and begins walking towards the destination. While this time he manages to go the correct direction, he has lost a lot of his swagger and now simply seems to want to arrive as quickly as possible so as not to receive any further warnings from the Computer.

conversations:  Oh so recently an upgrade in clearance, and now a mission from the Computer itself? Man, things were starting to look up! Shame that Gunther didn't quite get which room he was supposed to head to. Ah well, cross that bridge when he comes to it! With these happy thought of servitude to the Computer helping enhance his drug-induced happiness we gathers up what he can into his own bag before stopping for a moment to make sure his uniform is on properly, stripe properly visible. Then, he heads out for the transtube to go meet his destiny.

  Hunter extends his hand to the RED female who just walked into the tube station.  "Hi there friend! I'd wager you're a troubleshooter too? Name's Hunter."

  Linda shook hunter's hand enthusiastically. " Right you are Fellow RED Citizen. My Name is Linda, it's very nice to meet a fellow Patriot of Alpha Complex. Guess this means you can be trusted as well? It's a great honour to become a Troubleshooter after all, and it's not something given out to Traitors, Illegal mutants and Commie Scum, am i right? " She replied to Hunter in a Happy-pill drugged manner, clearly all hyper and happy from it.
  
  Linda was wearing her RED outfit today, along with her RED backpack and RED overalls and RED boots. Although of course it wasn't COMMUNIST RED, no siree. It was RED for Redblooded Loyal Citizen, Yes indeed.

   "By the Computer, you're right about that! I hope we get to go after some mutant scum in fact. Wouldn't that make for a great first mission for Friend Computer? Or commies. But I bet it'll be mutants. In fact I'd be 10 credits that it's hunting down a mutant. You game?"

conversations:  Linda nodded in response. totally agreeing in what Hunter said.... or at least gave off the impression that she did ^^
  
  " So.... you think it's just gonna be us for the team? " She asked, giving Hunter's dresscode an overlook as well.

conversations:  Dwight does his best to ignore the snide voice in his head while he reads his mission briefing.  Ever since he'd turned his old supervisor in, he'd been having these guilty visions of some strange new one from time to time, always asking him questions like he was dumb enough to talk to an apparition.  Pah!  Perhaps on this mission Dwight would have an actual supervisor to tell all of his brilliant ideas to.  The thought buoyed him as he left his desk and pushed his way past the apparition, feeling even more illusory tactile feedback in the process.  He left the building and power-walked down the street, panting a bit as he turned into the designated tube and arriving out of breath to find another few Red clearance level persons on the platform.
