¤...¤.¤.¤. 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. .¤..¤¤..¤¤
¤¤.¤.¤.¤.. ¤¤¤.¤.¤.¤.

¤¤¤¤.¤¤¤.¤ 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. .¤¤.¤..¤¤.
