It's not possible to play out every detail of what goes on behind the scenes with the Defense Force (though you are more than welcome to try!) It's also awkward to handwave things that were never discussed, so let's discuss them! Below, you will find the sort of activities that go on during a standard day. You should assume these are occurring and that your character is taking part. If not, you should bring it up to their team leader so they can be held accountable.
We'll also make updates each week on the Sunday Speakeasy for anything specific to that day which will be reported here for reference. Any member can and should respond to the Sunday Speakeasy entry or this post with additional details!
GENERAL DAILY ACTIVITIES
[COMBAT TEAMS] • Training and conditioning. This may be individually or in a group. • Patrolling their assigned sector individually or with a partner. • Checking in with their team leader to report even if it's just an all clear. • They may check in at headquarters, but it's not necessary.
[INVESTIGATIVE TEAM] • Meeting each day at headquarters to review ongoing projects and get any new assignments. • Interviewing, researching, recording and/or analyzing data.
[DISPATCH] • Taking a shift at the headquarters to field any possible distress calls by contacting the appropriate combat team. • Checking the network for any signs of unreported issues that may fall to them and communicating that with the appropriate leader. • Work can also be done from home or on the go with the comm system when staff is low.
[TEAM LEADERS] • Checking on each team member for any reports. • Building the unit however they see fit. Group exercises, training programs, trust falls, whatever it takes! • Reporting to Kitty even if it's just to say there is nothing new to report.
[CONSULTANTS] • Nothing! Nothing daily at least. They are on-call only.
SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES
[DAY 252] • Reid solicited interviews regarding Day 250's darkness/raptor/fear events. He also directed people to other investigative team members. The investigative team would have met to discuss the various stories they heard and things they saw for themselves. Many stories would include reports of feeling as if they were being watched and becoming irrationally afraid and even seeing things that couldn't have been there. • Sector 6 team reports that there are raptors still inside Sector 6, though not seen in the same numbers they noticed on Day 250, but there's also more cover in there. • Suggestion from Kitty to each team leader to tell their people to get checked out at the clinic if they were involved in raptor battles and haven't already. • Artemis tried to initiate a revolt and was calmed by her teammates. • Penelope Garcia does not arrive for her shift on dispatch and does not check in. She is learned to be lost in the dimensional stabilizer. Dispatch is needs additional members. • Rebecca's the only other full time so she'll be taking more shifts to try and cover, and as a result will be around HQ a lot more. Occasionally even sleeping in and around the lounge, so feel free to know her as an acquaintance, etc. Small talk can be handwaved as a regular thing.
[DAY 253] — Nothing specific reported because there was no Sunday Speakeasy
[DAY 254] • Kitty helping dispatch when possible since it is still understaffed and asking other qualified members to do the same. • It is a new arrival day, so Kitty asks dispatch to closely monitor them to check for anything potentially dangerous. She also asks combat teams to watch for orange jumpsuited inmates and assist them as needed. • The "temporary" has been officially removed from Spencer Reid's title as Investigative Team leader. • Sam Winchester is distributing cameras to the investigative team as well as the heads of the combat teams to use for gathering evidence whenever something unusual occurs since the bots are so quick to "clean up" afterward. • With Tear's departure, Sector 2 combat team no longer has a leader. Kitty appoints Piper to the position on a probationary basis. • Tieria is also helping with dispatch when needed. He's going to be providing Reid with incident reports of what he remembers from the fear events in the previous dome. • Piper will now panic. LOL! Kidding. She's probably going to be a bit bossy for a while until she figures out her team as their leader. • Sougo (part of Sector 0 combat team) will be absent from DF duties days 253-256.
[DAY 255] • Kitty contacted the team leaders of the combat sections to determine safe houses in each sector that they could stock with food, water, blood, blankets, flashlights, batteries, and anything else they think might come in handy in an emergency. She will caution them to hide supplies and test them to see if the bots will clean them out. • Kitty asked if anyone manages to capture a mistletoe bot that they turn it into the investigative team. • Sougo (part of Sector 0 combat team) will be absent from DF duties days 253-256. • Starting on day 254, Reid will have been in the office less. Partially due to last day's mistletoe bots but mostly because he's keeping a close eye on Nathan. Still perfectly reachable through the communicator for any IT leadering needs.
