Poz will go home, water his own plants, and play with his hamsters.
((Do we have access to the catalog at home or is it only on Ministry terminals? Because if Poz looks a little further there's a portable drinking system he would buy. Or it can wait.))
[1] You barely fill up a cup before the faucet runs dry. Your landlord must have cut into your water rations again. You give your hamsters a sip, and pour the remainder on your plants. Perhaps you should have bought cacti.
((Only at the Ministry.))
Carl Stetlon will show up to work anyway to confirm that he is actually starting tomorrow. His contract said he started today and he wouldn't want to be late to his first day at work.
After inevitably going home, Carl will make sure that he fills up on gas for his car and then go play video games or something.
You find no one at the plaza. So serene, it would be a nice place to take a walk, but you don't want to look suspicious on camera.
[6] Back at home, you find the new game you ordered has arrived! You spend the next couple hours in the land of Kadoria, searching for map fragments that will lead you to the lost catacombs.
Maria will go outside and watch whatever nonhuman animals still live in the city
[3] Pigeons above and bugs below. Worms wriggling in the puddles. Not much to see here.
If the parties still going Burt will go and look around, if its not he'll just stay at home and look at all of his meager holdings.
[3] Back at home, you count and recount all your coins. You stack up your food cans, sort out your clothes, reread old letters, and call it a day.
Chapter 2: The New GuysAll the new-hires get a tour of the plaza and are introduced to peculiarities of the Ministry, namely the vast network of vacuum tubes used to transfer documents in sealed canisters. Any employee can use the tube in their office to send and receive pneumatic mail (or PM for short). The first PM every employee receives includes their MOIID number.
After the tour, Poz reports to his manager who directs him to his new office in Green Building. Folded on his desk is his technician's uniform and beside it his toolbox. Both have clearly seen years of use, but at least they're clean. He won't need the tools today, because he has been assigned to "data duty," and will spend the whole day standing at his desk going over hydroponic batch yields.
Carl finds himself at home in his little office in Grey Building, but only has the time to get his PM before being led to the warehouse to pick up his first package. As the new guy, he is only entrusted with delivering office supplies, tools, and the like.
Maria's manager gives her the hazmat suit she'll be using for "the rest of her days." The vacuum tube in her new office is nearly clogged with reams safety data sheets that describe all the chemicals used and stored at the Ministry. She sits down on the floor, and begins sorting through her mail, when Smith enters her office.
Smith wonders if every new hire has to share an office with someone, or if only the employees of the cramped Brown Building are treated this way. They couldn't even give him his own desk and computer/printer! He and Maria even share the mail tube! With an exasperated sigh, he squats down and looks for his mail among all the papers.
I'll be sending out tasks today and tomorrow. Everyone has until the next update to complete them, which is in about two days.
