¨¨¤¨¨¤¤¨¤¤ 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.) ¨¤¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¤

¤¨¨¤¤¨¤¨¨¤ early processing, housed in a state of ¤¤¤¤¤¨¨¨¨¨
¤¨¤¨¤¤¤¨¤¤ the art factory close to the docks. ¨¨¨¨¤¨¨¨¨¤

¤¨¤¨¨¨¨¤¤¤ 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. ¨¤¨¨¤¨¨¨¨¨
