###£¤†*~,¨ 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. ¨¨¨¨,,*††£

###£¤†*~,¨ early processing, housed in a state of ¨,~*†¤£###
#£¤*,¨¨¨¨¨ the art factory close to the docks. ¨¨¨¨¨,*¤£#

###£¤†*~,¨ 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 ¨¨¨,,~†¤¤£
