Alpha Complex, place of Mandatory Happiness, it is late in the current Day Cycle. The Computer has just had a great victory against some commies and has rewarded all of its loyal citizens with a special Vidshow that has recently been reduced to clearance level infrared. The movie stars the very popular Teela-O the most famous actress in all of Alpha Complex. Her Vidshows have been proven to raise Happiness by an amazing 27.87%. This new Vidshow, Attack of the Clones, is a very special one. In it the Computer and his loyal Citizens including Teela-O are routing out a secret society called the Domain. The secret leader of the Domain gets captured by Teela-O and she is about to remove his mask //////

“Greetings Citizens!!” the Vidshow cuts out and a message cuts in scrolling across the screen. “Mission el-you-three-one-ess is being formed. Mischief in the MemoMax Quality Assurance Firm eoyj yjr v;pmrd svyomh i[. The trusted Troubleshooters of

The vidscreen cuts back to Teel-O being rewarded for her great virctory and then the credits role. The many, many other citizens around are not looking happy at all for the end of their movie being interrupted and it looks like they are looking around for someone to blame.

The Transtupe you are to report is only about one hundred and fifty meters away. It is clearance Red.

"Happy day, citizens!" George says. "Remember, unhappiness is treason!" Then he turns and walks carefully; not in too much of a hurry, but very directly, to the Trans-tube.

 

[Ao the Overkitty]

John sits around watching the credits for a few more seconds before startling. He gets up and puts his redcorn bucket in the nearest trash recepticle. He is very pleased with himself for not spilling a single kernel. After quickly flossing his teeth, he moves towards the transtube.

 

[Captain Tagon]

Brett stands up and starts to follow George, but not too eagerly. Before following he looks at the mass of fellow citizens. "Happiness everyone. You clearly saw Teela-O and thus the Computer victorious over Domain. What could make you happier?" With that he strides to the Trans-tube.

 

[Toric_Arthendain]

Bradley waits until the vidshow is over and the credits have rolled before getting up and starting towards the trans-tube. With a huge, winning smile plastered on his face and an air of unbridled confidence, he nods to his fellow citizens as he passes.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

At seeing all of the not-happy citizens, Greg calls out, "What are you all, treasonous traitors! Happiness! Or are you all unhappy? Hmm? Could all of you be traitors?!"

After getting himself worked up, as usual, Greg then looks to the Transtube, heading that direction while still watching everyone carefully for anymore signs of unhappiness.

 

[Crothian]

The five of you manage to get to the Transtube Platform pretty easily. There is some grumbling from the other citizens but aside from some Orange Jumpsuit guys talkiking in hushed tones and pointing at you there doesn't seem to be any problems. Over the loudspeakers you all hear the Computer say:

"Vulture Squad termination team, please report to central CPU area. All Citizens please exit central CPU area in a orderly and calm fasion. Any Commies please stay in the central CPU area and await further instructions by the Vulture Squad Termination team. Thank you."

The CPU (Central Processing Unit, the place that paperwork begins and ends) is a a few kilimeters away from your location.

Denton hands the tool he was inspecting back to the Red citizen he is sitting next to and says, "That's not regulation length, you better get the replaced immediately". He makes his way to the tube, studying the hatchway to the tube with a practiced eye.

 

[Crothian]

As you all are waiting on the transtube platform the group of Orange overall guys come over and place a "Out of order" sign on the transtube.

"Sorry, Citizens but the Transtube is now closed. " one says and snickers a little. They set down some tools start to take aprt the mechanism of the transtube.

 

[fett527]

Denton looks (not touching) the tools and parts over to see if any of them are colored.
