,,,,,##,,, he's not above petty crime, but he ,########,
####,,,,## knows that if he puts in a bit of work, ,,######,,
,##,,##,,, he will find much more lucrative ,,,####,,,
,,,,,,,,## rewards. ##,,##,,##
,######,,# #,,,,,,,,,
,,####,,,, and thus he's currently working ,,########
,,,##,,##, alongside hatsune miku for a company ,,,######,
##,,,,,,,, that makes synthetic meal replacements. ##,,####,,
,,,####### he's got a vague outline of a plan, to #,,,,##,,,
##,,###### scatter with some product, or even ,,##,,,,##
#,,,,##### better, some formula? these things are #,,,,##,,#
,,##,,#### worth a lot to a competitor. ,,##,,,,,,
#,,,,,,### ,,,,,#####
,,####,,## he's been lucky; the place is ####,,####
,,,##,,,,, surprisingly unguarded. once he's got ,##,,,,##,
##,,,,#### his paws on something worthwhile, it'll ,,,,##,,,,
,,,##,,##, be easy to just waltz out. until then, ,##,,,,##,
##,,,,,,,, keep doing the work... ,,,,##,,,,
,,,####### ,##,,,,##,
##,,###### come to think of it, the place is ,,,,##,,,,
,,,,,####, almost eerily empty. there are few ,##,,,,##,
####,,##,, coworkers. (in fact the company is ,,,,##,,,,
,##,,,,,,# ai-run and only a few key roles are ,##,,,,##,
,,,,####,, filled by actual people. ,,,,##,,,,
###,,##,,# ###,,,,###
##,,,,,,,, none of the employees know this.) ##,,##,,##

##,,####,, nick and miku are both stationed in ,,,,##,,,,
,,,,,##,,, early processing, housed in a state of ,##,,,,##,

,##,,##,,# they create the early building blocks ###,,,,##,
,,,,,,,,,, that are later combined into the meals ##,,##,,,,

##,,,,,,## (made with a type of bacteria) ,,##,,##,,

#####,,### original culture which is fed blood #,,,,,,,,#
####,,,,## meal, bone meal, what doesn't qualify ,,######,,
,##,,##,,, to go in the "wild flesh" paste, and ,,,####,,,
,,,,,,,,## some processing chemicals. all these ##,,##,,##
,######,,# ingredients have an effect on the blood #,,,,,,,,,
,,####,,,, which in turn affects miku. ,,########
,,,##,,##, ,,,######,
##,,,,,,,, there is a large tank behind the ##,,####,,
,,,####### factory that contains a vast number of #,,,,##,,,
##,,###### auxilliary blood colonies. miku watches ,,##,,,,##
#,,,,##### over these as well. their purpose is #,,,,##,,#
,,##,,#### unclear. ,,##,,,,,,
#,,,,,,### ,,,,,#####
,,####,,## the factory is surrounded by the blood ####,,####
,,,##,,,,, meal farms. there is a constant ,##,,,,##,
##,,,,#### exchange of blood and blood meal. this ,,,,##,,,,
,,,##,,##, provides two of the major materials for ,##,,,,##,
##,,,,,,,, both the colonies and miku. ,,,,##,,,,
