An invitation to a party appears on various university billboards inviting people to the Kappa Alpha greek house located in the mostly finished Castle Commonwealth mall on the edge of town. The notice instructs people to follow the access road at 67 Lost Nation drive and enter through the back door and promises that signs will be posted to guide people to the party itself.

Jade knows about a fair number of plants but not all of them and has a general idea about soil conditions and fertilizers.
Dave knows a lot about close quarters combat. He doesn't know much more about security systems than was in the encyclopedia. He did skim through the list of symbols.

Then they will both be judged moderately competent and given their roles provisionally with a request to spend at least two hours a day in training.
Jade can now access readouts on the past and expected crop yields from areas under her management and order different crops to be planted in the next cycle. She can also change the preferred ripeness stage for various plants and which parts of the plant are preserved or discarded.
His new abilities largely amount to the ability to lock and unlock doors as well as the ability to shut down a teleporter in his zone so it can't receive incoming passengers, and reactivate it at a later time. He can also check occupancy for buildings in his area from a console. If he does so he'll have a long list of buildings including manufacturing complexes, apartment complexes, warehouses, museums, libraries greenhouses and more. There are also references to six biospheres. The only occupied building is the 'Black Section Home Complex' which contains ten people including him.
Jade would not like to fiddle with crops just yet!
Dave pokes through the list of buildings. "There's a list of buildings here. Apparently there are museums. Which is weird as fuck."

"What sort of museums?" There's a couple science museums, a history museum, a few art museums and a couple museums devoted to specific disciplines like linguistics and architecture.
"Couple of science museums, some art museums, and like linguistics and architecture."
Rose says, "The science museums could be useful. We should look for one of those."

"If they're as ahead in all the sciences as they are in physics and biology it would be a very useful thing to see."

"So, Anna, want to check out the clinic? It says we can run basic physicals on people and that might give a sense of where we should focus."

Riley gets up and walks over to the clinic. "Do you want to get the physical first or should I?"

"Interface begin physical for the citizen on exam table one."
An arm extends from the side of the table and overs over top of her it makes a first pass from head to toe then it does a second pass of her head and torso moving slower.
A smooth female voice begins to speak. "Citizen 9 is physically within expected norms, she is currently under the influence of hormonal contraceptives. Her heart rate is currently seventy beats per minute her blood pressure-"
"Interface discontinue verbal readout. The full details will be recorded in your medical file. You and I will both have access."
time_and_teleporters
"I think I can tell it not to read out anything verbally. I think I can use the diagnostic screens over the long-term care beds. I'll try it when we do me. Speaking of which I need to be lying where you are."

She feels a certain degree of excitement and also catches some thoughts about whether removing a toe to see if the clinic can actually regrow it makes sense. Then those thoughts come grinding to a halt. "Telepathy."
plus-one
Mild fascination which quickly turns into startlement tinged with interest. "...wow. That's..."
time_and_teleporters
"I thought this place ran on physics though, unless the telepathy is somehow implemented with a godlike skill with biology or maybe implants.... I wonder if those would show up in the scans if they existed."
