¤¨¤¨¤¨¤¨¤¨ nick wilde is a red fox and a conman. ¨¨¤¨¤¨¤¨¤¨

¤¨¤¨¤¨¤¨¤¨ ¨¨¤¨¤¨¤¨¤¨
¤¨¤¨¤¨¤¨¤¨ 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: ¨¨¤¨¤¨¤¨¤¨

¤¨¤¨¤¨¤¨¤¨ 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. ¨¨¤¨¤¨¤¨¤¨
