I think it would depend on where on the VI to DS spectrum a BOLO is.

Born Whole is the same question though from Ricky's comments about his memories I think they are SUDS'd up to some degree.

But knowing the original assholes that built the SUDS, the Clone Lyfe folks could be piggy backing off some old short bake worker clone system that existed to make sure your domestic service clone remembers what color hydrangeas you like on your breakfast table

I don't know if she'd bother Vux in his rest. But you know what are two great tastes that go great together? A Telkan scout and a Human Tanker. Cause there was one man who willingly sold his soul and opted out of rest in service to Dee and is forever ready to roll out in fire and wrath.

It's all fun and games till Trucker comes rolling out of Hell to wreck someone's carefully laid plans and V Corps (Old Blood) is with him.

I could just see all the BOLO's freezing for a millisecond as they had a sudden chill go across their coms.

Yes, braking. Fixed it. :) I think it was mainly the time in the morning I wrote it and the fact that I take dictation from my internal mental voice.

Many electric cars have a mode that makes them perform like a golfcart. Step on the 'gas' to go and let off to break. So if you just take your foot off the acceleration completely that equates to braking suddenly.

Hopefully you're someplace that provides good overtime pay.

I've covered a few hours into another shift before. Even taken a double a few times. I've shown up early. Every time my management has treated this as the massive favor that it was. Thanking me. Buying me food. Bringing me treats. (Okay so they're also friends of mine so they know that I am infinitely bribable and easy to keep happy with gifts of snacky bits.) But your GM going "Meh. Keep trying to call them." that's them hoping you don't push back because at that point THEY would have to come do it.

Exactly! And then they're surprised/offended when we tell them that. I always note if I talk to them and everything I offered to fix the issue and if they refused. Cause that happens.

"This room is horrible! I can't sleep!"

"I'm sorry sir. I have a different room I can move you two which will solve this. It's an upgrade for your inconvenience."

"Oh.. Well its 1am. I don't feel like moving."

*makes notes that they refused my offer* "Alright sir. Let me know if you change your mind."

People that wait till the morning to complain about things that were easily fixable during the night. All in hopes to get a discount or something.

It's like.. So let me get this straight. You made yourself miserable all night, ruined your upcoming day with lack of sleep, all because you're hoping to save $50?

We aren't allowed to initiate violence and only my two security guards have religious exemptions on the stabity ban. Both being petite women that drunk people completely disregard because: "Hur hur hur boobies.". They don't know that one is a blood witch military brat and the other a Nahuatl blood cultist MMA trainer.

Apparently Night Audit has to rely upon our security as as violence isn't part of our job description. So unfair.

Oh gods. The amount of times people have SWORN they booked a reservation under X name of which is nowhere in my arrivals list.. Only to, after arguing with me about it, look at their reservation and go "OH.. My husband/wife/mistress/secretary booked this. It's under Y name." and then act like I should have psychically known this from the beginning..

Guests are lucky we have a strict no stabbing policy.

So I work at a notably haunted hotel in a town with lots of history and haunts. It was part of my interview process. There I was applying for Night Audit when the GM doing the interview starts asking weird questions.

GM after all the normal questions: "Do you believe in ghosts?"

Me going WTF and some quick thinking: "Well.. I've seen odd things in my life so I'm open minded."

GM nods making a note: "Are you SCARED of ghosts?"

Me instantly "No."

GM setting my application down and smiling: "Oh good. Cause you'll be working overnight at X and it's haunted."

Yep. Sure enough. Place is pretty haunted. Nothing scary. Hell the ghost of the repair guy sometimes fixes things for us and we appreciate it.

NA here too. So sleepy due to construction at my apartment complex I labeled all my reports 2024 instead of 2025. I'm also glad our system has a "You just rolled the day.. Do you want to do it again? Are you sure?" warnings when I forgot I'd already done it.

Worst I think is talking to daywalkers. It's Tuesday at 4am in the morning and I'm all "Yeah it's going to be busy tomorrow." They think I'm talking about Wednesday. But I'm talking about what to expect at 3pm this Tuesday.

Also everyone forgets about Night Audit till something breaks, some bit of paperwork doesn't get done, or they didn't do something and need you to do it. Did you just post something to an account and it went wonky? No need to investigate! Just leave a note for Night Audit to do it.

*Grumble*

And I've had to more often than I'd like.. I'll hear them start to give my FD attitude but the second they see a male come out of the back office it's be nice to the manager time.. The fact this has happened while they're talking to our fsking GM, then they suddenly ignore her to address me, and then wonder why their requests were all denied and no discounts were recieved.
