¨¨&¨¨¨&¨¨¨ Nick wilde Is A Red Fox And A Conman. ¨¨&&&¨¨&&&

&¨&¨&¨&¨¨& &&¨&&&&¨&&
&&&&&&&¨&¨ 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 ¨¨¨&¨&&&&&

¨&&¨¨&&¨¨¨ 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. ¨&¨&¨¨¨&&&
