¤..¤.¤¤... ¤¤......¤¤
¤¤...¤¤¤.. 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 ...¤¤¤..¤.
...¤....¤. the art factory close to the docks. ...¤.¤¤..¤
¤...¤..... they create the early building blocks .....¤¤¤..
.¤...¤.... that are later combined into the meals .....¤.¤¤.
..¤...¤... that's sold to customers. .......¤¤¤
¤..¤...¤.. ¤......¤.¤
¤¤..¤...¤. the bases are mostly sludges .¤.......¤
.¤¤..¤...¤ or pastes, such as: ..¤......¤
.¤¤¤..¤... ...¤......
.¤.¤¤..¤.. ;~ plant matter ....¤.....
...¤¤¤..¤. ;~ blood colony .....¤....

...¤¤¤.... miku is in charge of the blood ¤.....¤.¤¤
¤..¤.¤¤... colonies. there's large vats of the ¤¤......¤¤
¤¤...¤¤¤.. 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. ..¤.¤¤...¤
