,@,@,,@,@, 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 @,@@,@,@,@
,@,@,@@,@, (made with a type of bacteria) @,,@,@,@,@
,@,@,,@,@, \~ wild flesh @,@@,@,@,@
,@,@,@@,@, (free roaming animals) @,,@,@,@,@
,@,@,,@,@, \~ organs @,@@,@,@,@
,@,@,@@,@, (taken from a living human that @,,@,@,@,@
,@,@,,@,@, is willing to sell) @,@@,@,@,@

,@,@,,@,@, \~ blood colony two @,@@,@,@,@
,@,@,@@,@, \~ insects @,,@,@,@,@
,@,@,,@,@, (which are mainly used for their @,@@,@,@,@

,@,@,,@,@, 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. @,,@,@,@,@
