Thomas adjusted the focus of his visor and opened three new chat
|
|
windows. He joined the appropriate channel in each window, issued
|
|
greetings to everyone, and then banked his fighter jet into a cloud,
|
|
dodging enemy fire. He checked his screens but it looked like everyone
|
|
else was idling.

Roger crushed the soda can beneath her foot and stomped into the

building. Behind her, Erik dribbled the rest of his beverage into the

gutter and followed suit. Both of them were late for duty.

<Thomas_> Oh well, here we are again, crammed into this office when
|

it's windy and gray outside. No cold London breeze in our faces today,

boys! By the time you read this, I'll have flattened quite a bit of

real estate, I'd imagine. Oh well, where does the time go.

A flash crossed all of their screens at once. A vibrant pink square
|
|
that obscured half of the desktop, causing Roger (at least) to
|
|
misdirect her fire towards a friendly.

Folks,
|
|
|
|
RDO (Regular Day Off)
|
|
|
|
Since we are starting a run on training next week and through
|
|
September for various classes (other course scheduling to be
|
|
announced), we will be depending on all to help keep our levels up as
|
|
well as possible, as you have these last couple of weeks. Since
|
|
Thursday and Friday are always busy days anyway, we'd like to ask
|
|
anyone with their RDO on Thurs and Fri to work OT during our critical
|
|
time. That can be up to 8 hours starting between 7am\-9am, and possibly
|
|
a couple more depending on how busy it is.
|
|
|
|
Then from next week on until further notice, we'd like those that
|
|
will, to work OT on their RDOs between the same starting times, with
|
|
the possible 2 hrs extra on top of the 8 if business needs are heavy.
|
|
If you cannot work the full 8 but can work 4 hrs between 10am\-2pm or
|
|
11am\-3pm (same for this Thur & Fri), that would help out during the
|
|
lunch periods. Of course working through lunch is also authorized w/
|
|
break splitting until further notice.

Thomas cleared the flash and flitted his eyes back to incoming.

Roger and Erik actually finished reading the entire message.

Rockets in the air. Thomas vectored wildly, but it was clear that
|
|
convergence was only a matter of time. The air support team (the happy
|
|
trio, all together) cursed simultaneously.

Thomas drummed his fingers on his desk absentmindedly. Presently,
|
|
UTF\-8 characters appeared in front of his eyes, translucent, but still
|
|
rather annoying as they partially obscured his vision. He finished
|
|
logging his flight ticket and got himself up, out of his chair.

As usual, Erik and Roger were a few minutes longer in getting their
|
|
acts together. This was exacerbated by Erik accidentally brushing his
|
|
elbows against Roger's breasts, several times, in the space of just a
|
|
few minutes.

After she'd finished repeatedly punching him in the gut, both

airmen caught up with Thomas and took their places next to him in the

chow line, where they casually compared the features of their newly

|
upgraded visors.

Thomas held his serious expression for several seconds, and then

they all burst into laughter.
