,,@,@@,@,@ 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 ,@,@,@,@,@

,,@,@@,@,@ 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: ,@,@,@,@,@

,,@,@@,@,@ miku is in charge of the blood ,@,@,@,@,@

,,@,@@,@,@ 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 ,@,@,@,@,@
