I'm sent back into the future, and I head to the theater room to be debriefed.
My mission was successful for once. Once I'm debriefed, I shrug on my blazer and head to my desk. It's only 11 am, and there's still like a half hour until we all take a lunch break. My phone dings with a text from Adria.
"Wanna go to the pool for lunch"
"nah i'm hungry 🤨 are we gonna drink the water🤨🤨"
"we could go to the theatre they have free popcorn? or maybe u could go somewhere w flynn"
"maybe"
I put down my phone and get back to work. The lunch bell rings and everyone gets up for lunch. I turn to Jay.
"Adria told me she wanted to go to the pool"
"For lunch?"
"Yeah, weird, right? I wonder if there's a reason."
"Maybe? I don't think its that deep"
We start to walk towards the elevators.
"Have you heard from Kandyce?" I ask.
"No 🙄 She's still on Asgard. Living it up. Too cool to stay on earth and help out, I guess."
"Lukas there too, it's not just Kandyce," I say.
"And? Lukas been in contact. Kandyce just sucks."
We get in the elevator. I look at the button that goes to the first floor.
"What do you think happening up there?"
"Who knows? It won't be happening once we fix it."
"Yeah."
We go into the cafe, and a ton of people are eating. We have only vegan food at this point, since it's been 2 1/2 years and we live in the sub-levels, but there's a massive garden on sub-level 8 and meat substitutes are pretty advanced nowadays.
Today is (veggie) burger day, and they're pretty good, honestly.
We eat with Ariba, Mara, Corey, Flynn, and Adria.
At 12:30 the bell rings again and we all get back to work.
Sitting back at my cubicle, I fill out my mission report, and I'm pretty much done for the day. I read up on the news and do my mandated daily mission suggestion sheet. Now it's 2:15. It's a pretty slow day today, work doesn't end until 5:30 at the earliest. And I have a mandated weekly overtime that I have to meet, and it's Friday, so I have to stay until 7:30 at least.
I email Bruce, asking if there's any more missions I can do, but the time machines being used by Adria right now. Not too long ago I figured out that Anna was Adria all along, since Adria dyed her hair pink and the incident where Anna disappeared was probably just future Adria going forward again.
I zone out until 2:45, when Adria comes by my desk. She's crying.
"Can we go to the pool to talk?" she asks.
I agree.
