Hour: 7:30 EST- 6 days until deadline
Environment: Stable]
Thomas: *He wakes up at his desk, rubbing his face. He had fallen asleep while working and is now searching for Alpha. He walks around and him in a small dark room lit only with candles. Alpha stands solemnly looking at pictures* Alpha, it's me, Theta. May I enter?
Alpha: Hm? Oh, yes. If it pleases you.
Thomas: What is this place?
Alpha: A memorial for past and fallen agents. See More *Thomas nods his head and looks about the room* Is there something important?
Thomas: No. How are preparations for the mission coming along?
Alpha: They're coming along alright. *sigh* I'm growing too old. Soon I'm going to be on this wall. If not, it will be my agents instead.
Thomas: Don't talk like that, Alpha. Everything will get worked out. Glenningdale will know the logical thing to do and from what I hear, the other branches haven't completely fallen into chaos.
Alpha: You know what, Theta? Life is too damn short. Especially for people in our field. We don't get vacations or peace. Our lives are hard. We lose people. We lose ourselves. All for what? *Alpha looks at a picture of Rhodes and the list unit ahead of him sadly*
Thomas: For... doing what's right. Protecting the innocent. Stopping those who are not.

Alpha: *He takes the long way around the base to get to his meeting with accounting. He hears some noises coming from the small gym. He goes in and is surprised to find the usually meek Thomas pounding the sh!t out of the punching bag and showing surprising strength. He watches silently for a few minutes, then speaks* Where did you learn how to do that, Theta? See More
Thomas: *He jumps and lets out a breath when he sees it's Alpha* Alpha! Sir, I didn't see you.
Alpha: Because I didn't want you too. Jesus, Theta, where'd you get those arm muscles?
Thomas: I used to box as a kid. I stopped when I became old enough to work. And then I went through some general field training. *Changing subject* Did you need something?
Alpha: Just stalling before a meeting with accounting. *chuckles* Our plane takes off at 4:30 in the morning. I hope you're ready. *He walks back towards the door*
Thomas: Of course.
Alpha: Good. That makes one of us. *He smiles as he walks out the door*
Thomas: *He jumps and lets out a breath when he sees it's Alpha* Alpha! Sir, I didn't see you.

Thomas: *He wakes up, still tired, but refreshed. He changes into a black wife-beater shirt and a pair of old sweatpants. He covertly makes his way to the training rooms. He takes to a small, empty room. He is embarrassed to be seen like this for some reason. Despite Thomas's appearance, he is very strong and muscular. He tapes his hands and hits a punching bag See More with surprising force*
on February 15, 2015
Alpha: *Earnestly* I have few doubts, rookies. Now I'm going to attend to the not so glamorous parts of the mission. I've a meeting with Accounting to make sure we aren't breaking the organization. *he rolls his eyes* I can't wait. Keep up the good work. Brees. Beta. *He tugs on his blazer and walks off*

Shepard: You won't have to worry about that Alpha. *he looked at his leader with respect*
*slinging the weapon over his back, he had to remember to ask Brody if he could take the weapon*
Not much thought process has to go in to being a bodyguard, other than to protect the person you're assigned to.
*he knew he was making the job sound easier than it probably See More was, but basically it's what it boiled down to*
I'm confident Cadence and I can handle the task without trouble. *looking over at her now*
Right Cadence? *he found himself grinning again, feeling like he'd known Cadence his entire life despite just meeting the other day*

Dancer feet. If a ballerina has a gorgeous arch, then I'm in a trance and can't get out! And also when danseurs (male ballet dancers) look nice in their tights. Puuuuurrrrrr!

Callix: To punish the Districts for the uprising. They needed to be a taught a lesson and shown who's boss. The Districts were stupid enough to go against the Capitol. District 13 got destroyed. Unless you want that same fate I suggest you shut up. *Coldly* The Games bring us all together.

Alpha: *After much debate with himself he decides to tell Brody, his second in command, of the message.* I should have told you about this sooner. I'm sorry.
Brody: Don't be... Jesus Christ, Alpha, what does this See More mean for our agents? Shutdown our operations? Do our outposts know?
Alpha: If so, I think they're trying to keep it quiet too. I've never had a direct threat to CODE before. It's frustrating and worrisome.
Brody: What exactly do they want from us?
Alpha: That's just it. We don't know...

Thomas: *Despite his jet lag he wakes early in the morning and makes himself a cup of tea. He settles himself into his office and opens his laptop, touching base with CODE B back home in London*

Shepard: *hearing her, he simply cast a look over at her, then closed his eyes again* Yes?
Eva: You have a mission --
Shepard: In two days, I understand. *he finished her sentence for her*
Eva: *she looked at him, not understanding how he could possibly know*
Shepard: *he took her silence as confusion and opened an eye again* Cadence told me already. See More

Shepard: If that's everything you can go now.
Eva: Just remember who your superior is...*not enjoying his arrogance*
Shepard: *hearing her leave, slamming the door, he grinned* Not for long Eva. I'll pass both of you...

Alpha: Jesus, this is really happening. Theta, I'm sorry to hear about Jameson.
Thomas: Me too. I'll start getting things ready and I'll get some more research done. It's the strangest thing, I haven't done anything regarding forensics the whole time I've been here.
Alpha: You're more doing for this branch than some of my own agents. Thank you.
Thomas: No, See More thank you. You really care about your agents. It shows. I guess I'll leave you to it. I've got some work to do. Good night, Alpha. Try to get some sleep.
Alpha: It's not that simple anymore. *He smiles as Thomas leaves* Good kid. Beta, I'm putting a lot of pressure on you.
Brody: It's nothing compared to what you're doing to yourself. That Thomas kid is right. Get some sleep. Night Alpha. I hope tomorrow will be better.
Alpha: It's another day at any rate. Night Beta. *Brody leaves. Alpha finally leaves his desk and goes to his room. He decides to heed Thomas' advice. In his dreams, he sees someone that he knows, but he can't tell who*

He holds her in his arms
Would you? Would you?
He tells her of her charms
Would you? Would You?
They met as you and I
And they were only friends
But before the story ends See More
He'll kiss her with a sigh
Would you? Would you?
And if the girl were I
Would you? Would you?
And would you dare to say
Let's do the same as they?
I would... would you?
