##£#&%\~~, 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. ,,,,~~\%##
##%~~~~,,, ,,,~~~~%##

#£&%~~,,,, that's sold to customers. ,,,,~~%&£#
##£#&%\~~, ,~~\%£##
##£#&%\~~, the bases are mostly sludges ,~~\%£##

£&\\~,,,,, 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 ,~~\%###
