Glittery Logan

GLITTER and Logan: a constant game of wits. 
==Shiny New==
Logan wakes up face-down in a puddle of Medical-scented pillow.
The fuck?
""Good morning, Cadet Jones,"" greets Marshal Nguyen, sounding suspiciously satisfied.
Logan drags his head around, croaks, "'morning. Sir."
"How are you feeling?"
Logan runs a diagnostic. "Nothing a shower and brekkie won't cure."
"Good, good." Marshal crosses his legs, laces his fingers. "What's the last thing you remember happening?"
Pushes up on his elbows. "I ...." Furrows his brow. "I was eating some /hújiāo bǐng and walking down Temple Street looking at the lights. Then some ass bumped into me—" Narrows his eyes. "Security, ay?"
The Marshal hums an agreement.
"Take it I put up a pretty good fight."
"No, Cadet, you didn't."
"They drugged me," Logan sighs.
"It certainly made Doctor Tong's job easier."
Logan raises an eyebrow.
"There is now a DARPA-tested, fully encrypted, eight-millimeter tracking chip nestled underneath your spine," the Marshal smugs. "If you so much as roll over in your sleep, we'll know about it."
Logan scowls.
"Don't even think of digging it out, either: you'll only cause yourself permanent, possibly life-changing, harm."
Logan deepens his scowl.
"You /were warned, Cadet."
"Yes, sir," sulks Logan. "Did I at least get to finish my buns?"
"Officer Lee said they were delicious." The Marshal pushes to his feet. "Feel better soon, Cadet." And out he goes.
Logan groans, resumes smothering himself with the pillow.
==Tracker==
"--"
Chantell's mobile shrieks.
"Dad!"
Jason peers at the screen.
""Titles, Officer.""
An app notification with a string of gibberish.
"Marshal, Ranger Jones is being an idiot."
A beat.
""Which Ranger Jones, Officer?""
"Logan."
""What's he up to this time?""
"Looks like--" Chantell unlocks her mobile. "He's being dragged from the East doors by Security, possibly to the brig."
The Marshal sighs.
"Is that a GLITTER app?"
"Works with GLITTER, yea, but it's for our problem children."
"Like Logan."
Chantell's chin sags into her hand. "Like Mr Chronic Rule Breaker, here." Sighs. "If we just flipped all the rules around, make it so you're not allowed to talk to Security before leaving, if he'd talk to Security."
"Loool." Jason sits back. "So they're better GLITTER tags?"
"Nah, it's a DARPA special thing in his back--"
Chantell's mobile wails.
"Da-ad!"
""What?""
"Would you acknowledge the damn thing?"
""How do I do that?""
"UGG." Chantell pushes to her feet, grumbles to the marshal's office.
Jason leans across the desk.
Mobile's gone silent.
Jason pokes it awake.
Yeaaa, he's not gonna remember that.
He takes a picture, turns Chantell's screen off, sits back in his chair as chill as can be.
.
At two in the morning, Logan creeps from the suite--
unknown: just WHERE do u think ur going???
Logan rolls his eyes, strolls down the hall.
unknown: dude, im gonna telllllll
Logan stuffs his mobile back into his pocket.
unknown: totally telling
unknown: ur gonna be in sooooo much trouble
==Dull==
"Sir, I have Jackson's pod on radar but I can't locate Logan's."
They're all freaking out--"how're we gonna find him???"
Josephs--
"Wait!" shouts Jason. "I know!" Then, ""Gimme a minute!" Dives out of LOCCENT, "Need my mobile--thank you!" Boots up the app, slides back into LOCCENT--"Here he is!" 
O's computer pings.
He forwards it to the Jumphawk, then, "How did you ...?"
Jason smugs. "I have Marshal Nguyen's tracker app for Logan."
O shakes his head. "Heavens that kid gets in trouble."
==Shine spots==
"What's this little one back here?" asks Bubbles, dragging her finger along the scar beside his spine between his shoulders.
Logan shivers, steps away. ">Tracking chip."
"Like people put in their dogs?" She fights giggles.
Tugs his shirt over his head, shrugs.
"That standard Ranger equipment?"
Shakes his head.
Bubbles grins. "So, tell me, Buttercup, what did you do to earn it?"
">Called the Marshal's bluff."
"And?"
">He wasn't bluffing."
