(Chapter 0)
Latoxio: Wetherby! Have you got news from the L-Corporation branch that's gonna hire us? I heard you can get into a nest if you do good there! They already accepted me!
Wetherby: No... I'm still waiting for a response...
Latoxio: Well... If they hire people from the outskirts i'm sure they'll hire you!
Wetherby: We're hoping for the best, then.
professional fast forward no more shitty backstreets experience i dont want to make up some lore about outside the corporation or where they were
Latoxio: Well, looks like we got hired together!
Wetherby: Yeah, we did but... Why is it so far underground...?
Latoxio: Work's work! Stop being so serious, besides, what's the worst that could happen?
Wetherby: I guess you have a point...?
uhh they go to learn about the corporation and what they do or whatever
Instructor guy: Now that we're ready... We've all signed, correct?
Everyone in the room: Yes, Sir...
Instructor guy: Alright. Now to start.
Instructor guy: We are currently in FACILITY X-394, and as some of you know, our company specializes in producing energy. You are the people helping us produce this energy. The manager will tell you when we've collected all energy required, Then you may go home for the day.
Instructor guy: We collect this substance called "Enkephalin" to produce this energy.
Instructor guy: Now, abnormalities have different things they like, and will produce more PE boxes, Positive Enkephalin upon a good reaction, and NE boxes, Negative Enkephalin boxes upon a bad one. I currently am unaware on how this works, but upon a bad result, an abnormality harms you in some way, mentally, or physically.
Instructor guy: There are four types we currently know of when an abnormality deals damage to us. We refer to these with these few colors.
Instructor guy: Red, White, Black, and Pale. Red damage is physical damage. Take too much of it and you die, simple, really.
Instructor guy: White damage is mental damage. Take too much of it and you go crazy.
Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.
Instructor guy: Black is Red and White damage combined. Why is it not called pink damage? I don't know. I personally thought it was clever, heh.
Instructor guy: And lastly, Pale. I don't know why we call it "pale" damage, However it harms the soul. It bypasses most defense mechanisms we have to defend against it, so hope we don't get any abnormalities that do this type of damage.
Instructor guy: Abnormalities are like working with picky children, usually. Some resemble humans, some look monstrous, some look inanimate, and some look like animals. Regardless, they all carry basic desires and a will. Most of these abnormalities will never get tired of a work type, no matter how many times you do it. We have lost many lives learning about all of this, so learn it properly. Pay tribute if you want, however, we cannot dwell on them too long. I'll give you a second to mourn if you please.
. . . . . . . . .
Instructor guy: Now, we have four methods to interact with abnormalities. Instinct, Insight, Attachment, and Repression.
Instructor guy: Instinct is for more psychological needs. it requires physical contact. we may supply nutrients, or clean the abnormality. The proper procedure for each abnormality is in the manual we will update every day for you. Since you must touch the abnormality for this, you must show some sort of bravery.
Instructor guy: Insight is a way of improving their living conditions. These containment rooms must be cleaned often for most abnormalities. Some of them do it themselves and hate when you intervene and do it for them, or prefer filthy conditions. As appropriate changes must be made to satiate these abnormalities, you bunch will need to show your intellect for this work type.
Instructor guy: Attachment satiates their social needs as all abnormalities have some sort of thought process, some like to socially interact. For this, an agent may act as a playmate, or a companion. You must show your temperance for this. If you cross the line, you can't go back.
Instructor guy: Repression is... How do i put this... Slavery without the working....? Either way, we use this to suppress their desires. Obviously, abnormalities are not perfect, and may fail to contain their desires. We regulate them through repression. You will not be taught the procedure for this work. You need to have justice for this type of work. Unlike your unusual, wasteful justice, you need to have the ability to make definite judgement. To make your decisions rationally. Else, the abnormality will eat you, or you may lose yourself.
Igoree: Sir we can still see you reading the guidebook. Do we have to listen to you talk about this WITH the guidebook in hand..?
. . .
Instructor guy: Ahem, Ahem.
I'll give you the guidebook later if you want to learn about abnormalities.
Instructor guy: There are five levels for abnormalities.
Instructor guy: ZAYIN, TETH, HE, WAW, and ALEPH.
Instructor guy: I won't go into detail about this since, you of course will be getting the guidebooks.
Instructor guy: I will now have you all choose. Will you work with the abnormalities and be paid more, or will you work simply as a clerk. If you are a clerk you will be provided a gun, Else, You get a baton.
-murmuring...-
Instructor guy: One more thing to mention, You will be paid more as an agent, atop of this, after two months you'll be granted PTO.
Instructor guy: You will be given an hour to choose. As we wait, i shall pass out the guidebooks. I don't feel like teaching you the rest because of SOMEONE...
Instructor guy: Now, Has everyone made a decision?
Everyone in the room: Yes...
Instructor guy: Good.
Instructor guy: Seems like quite a few of you don't want to stay. I see...
Instructor guy: Looks like quite a few people wanted to be a clerk besides about... three and a couple quitters.
Instructor guy: Interesting choice.
Instructor guy: Come back tomorrow to start your job.
