Unfortunately, it seems that about the time the clerk is asking for the mission number, is about the same time that Boris is being tasered and hauled away.
Perhaps you had better ask the computer.
"A moment..." Tru sends a message to the computer asking for the mission number, explaining that Boris is being presently tasered and hauled for hygiene exam.
Tru, (The equipment guy) gets to the front of the line. It's a long line. A long slow line. Did I mention that the line was long and slow too?
Eventually you find yourselves at the standing in front of an armored glass window. There is a yellow citizen stationed behind the glass. He has a big grin on his face. Tru is at the front of the line.
"Greetings citizen. I apologize for the long wait. How can I help you?"
Sorry about the late post. Internet connection's been lousy all day.
"Greetings." 1-Tru-G0D flashes a smile.
"We're here for some equipment. For a mission."
"Mission number... um...."
<Waves to Boris>
"Fearless Team Leader, the mission number please."
For the DM's eyes only
Spoiler:
Checks PDC for any record of Boris' saying the mission number. No such Post on the IC Finds nothing. He then thumbs the record function to obtain evidence on Boris' performance as Team Leader.
"What! No! I have never seen those before in my life! They cannot of come from my bag! The Computer-mandated sturdy stitching would prevent any pamphlet-sized objects from escaping from the satchel! Are you saying that the Computer is wrong about the abilities of our satchels? Are you calling the Computer a LIAR?", he yells at TRU while somehow still smiling.
** spoiler omitted **
"I am asking you what you are doing with Commie paraphernalia. The record of my earlier statement should bear this out." 1-Tru-G0D's voice even and calm.
For the DM's eyes only
Spoiler:
Is the PDC capable of audio recording? If yes, I activate it to record.
Of course not! That's rude. I merely quoted what is public knowledge and that is you wanting to read the DMG. But accusing me of treason is treason! :D
As Boris continues to gleefully throttle Horton, and Bob nurses his bruised jaw, while preparing to jump back into the fray, the transbot suddenly decelerates very quickly.
1-Tru-G0D moves over to where Bob is and takes the opportunity that he is nursing his bruise to ask, "Why are you in possession of Commie pamphlets? No use denying I saw them. Hold them out for all to see."
For the DM's eyes only
Spoiler:
I point the concealed laser pistol at him. Aggression begets aggression. He he he.
Any aggressive act from Boris like assaulting me and I blast him; I then claim self-defense to all and sundry and I label him a commie agent. Why else would a person attack a Troubleshooter if he were not a commie? Think about it.
1-Tru-G0D sends the following message to the computer: "Fight in the Transport Tube. Will apprehend whoever is responsible. One of the suspects exhibiting mannerisms incongruous with his apparent gender, a clear sign of communist symphathy in my opinion. Glory to the Computer.
Though he has been quiet the entire trip thus far, this recent outburst of girliness is getting on 1-Tru-G0D's nerves.
"Look here stop that! And who's the girly man!"
For the DM's eyes only
Spoiler:
1-Tru-G0D got his hand firmly on his pistol which is hidden inside his coat's pocket. He will not make any gesture or movement to indicate such to the others. He will shout through his pocket if he is met with any violence.
1-Tru-G0D smiles as he knew that this day will come that the Computer will recognize his innate talents and call him to service. He checks the instructions carefully to make sure he is following it correctly. He then heads for Transbot Tubeway Platform A8:C7:60:FF. It's a beautiful day.
