Sitting back into her chair, Alison rocked her head gently as the music played through her earphones. Heavy rock as they called it had grown to be her favorite at present. And although she kept an open mind for all type of music, both domestic and foriegn, she rather found that her liking, interests, et cetera--they were but a flow of one after the other. For such she quite enjoyed a wide variety, but instead usually only listened to only one theme at a time. In the meantime she listened and rocked, all while sipping her soda. There was little else to do to fill the time; from within the government offices she had been granted the duty of watching the domestic economy, a screen providing real-time data before her, and Alison being given the opportunity to advise the Economic Sections of their buying and selling decisions. It was one which held great responsibility, but having worked in the building for over a year now, she knew now that the media provided very little information in the way of current and future trends. Sure, they reported on what data had been gathered, but ultimately such was actually televised or published in its various forms too late for any of it to actually be effective enough to act upon.
Professional investors were abound, and one had to make use of said data in its purest of forms. Real-time, and off the market as it was, as soon as it had become data itself. In the meantime, since on a normal day such as this she would have been left relatively undisturbed--left to her own to think, ponder, and do whatever work she actually ensured; she was relatively surprised to be contacted by another workman on this day. A loner she was, it wasnt often one actually did 'chat' to her via the means she was only used to. Especially that of someone from the various offices which were linked to her own.
<CalvinK_Unleased> Hey Alison, you alive down there?
She blinked, and leaned forward to read the infobox which opened up on her machine. It took her but a few moments to respond, the clicking of her various keys sounding their voices.
<Alison_C> Sure, whats up?
<CalvinK_Unleased> I just got an important message from HQ, wondering if you recieved a copy.
<Alison_C> Hm. Lemme check.
<Alison_C> Nope, my inbox is empty. Whats it concerning?

Opening the attachment, she skimmed over the details and arched a brow.
<Alison_C> Hm, a staff meeting? Interesting...
<CalvinK_Unleashed> Aye. I found it so, given the reviews to come.
<Alison_C> Well, I'm just as surprised as you are. It isnt often we have such a major overhaul. Upgrades to the system will be following, perhaps?
<CalvinK_Unleashed> Perhaps...
<CalvinK_Unleashed> Hey I better get back to work, boss is wandering around. See you at lunch.
<Alison_C> Alright.
