@#@£*==,,, 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 ,,,==*£@#@

@#@£*==,,, ,,,==*£@#@
#@#@£*==,, he's been lucky; the place is ,,==*£@#@#
@#@£*==,,, surprisingly unguarded. once he's got ,,,==*£@#@
#@#@£*==,, his paws on something worthwhile, it'll ,,==*£@#@#

#@#@£*==,, keep doing the work... ,,==*£@#@#
@#@£*==,,, ,,,==*£@#@
#@#@£*==,, come to think of it, the place is ,,==*£@#@#

@#@£*==,,, to go in the "wild flesh" paste, and ,,,==*£@#@
