This article describes a way to handle intercycle messages or emergency signals received by an agent during a cycle. Since the real world is more continuous than the agent cycle, these perceptions could be analyzed too late. A framework called REST-A which take care of agents concepts and time bounds restriction has already been proposed. The agent abstract machine in that framework uses taskgrams. Taskgrams are units of evaluation composed by a behavior and its associated set of perceptions. In this paper we intend to propose a way to manage those important events in the REST-A framework. This could be done using two different ways: (i) by adding post-conditions to taskgrams and pre-process all received messages to emit fluents, (ii) by adding a special cycle to manage intercycle messages.
