[Date] Year of XXXX
[In accordance to Ward protocol 32423Q-456E all employee and agents are to be monitored and recorded during breaks.]
[RECORDING START]
[E-4560] Haa~ break time, it’s FINALLY break time! Heeeell yeah! I’m going to order something delicious.
[NE-025] …Ordering food?
[E-4560] Yeah? Its break time, why wouldn’t I order anything? You know we both have 48 hours left in our shift right freshy?
[NE-025] …I know, I know. But seriously you’re going to eat after what we just saw?
[E-4560] Did it bother you that much?
[NE-025] Yes. Yes, it did.
[E-4560] What you just saw is just the standard here in this Corp freshy, its best you get used to it. I would personally recommend replaying that sight in your mind until you get bored of it.
[NE-025] That’s your personal recommendation?
[E-4560] Yes. I employed that strategy myself when I started working here. You want “therapy” here of all places considering what you’ve seen so far?
[NE-025] I guess not.
[E-4560] Still I’m surprised. I was expecting you to be more resilient, since you came the Backways right?
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
[NE-025] Yeah, I’m from that hellhole. Did everything I could to make it into the Ward through applying and working for the Corp. Its definitely a nicer place compared to the Backways outside of work, and the salary actually can pay more than a day’s worth of expenses, but I really thought I would never have to see more of these gruesome sights. It’s a give and take in the end I guess.
[E-4560] Hmm. Could you tell me more about the Backways? It’s always been a fascinating place for me since I was born in the Ward and never left it. You guys call that shielded I think?
[NE-025] Fascinating huh? What can I tell you that you probably haven’t heard from school? We aren’t born under the prosperity or protection of a Corpo so it’s a free for all out there. Poverty and petty crime is a common spectacle to see. Syndicates control and roam the streets taxing absorbent fees for protection, along with cramming their inane philosophy on our lives. Hope and pray you never get caught in between a turf contention between rival Syndicates, especially if they are affiliated or directly are from the different parts of the Beast.
[E-4560] The Beast? Ah! The metaphorical being that rules the Backways with their parts? Which part were you under?
[NE-025] We were under the embrace of the Wings. Their messengers, flocks and Proxies were one thing, but those damn feathers they had that would whisper into our minds were…
[CRE-334] Talking about the parts of the Beast during Corpo break time are we!? During my time as a freelance Repairman I ran into pretty much all of them, and let me tell you, none of them are as worse as the violent debauchery that are the Fangs. Hedonistic fucks get off on anything you’d imagine.
[E-4560] …You’re making quite the bloody trail here old man; couldn’t you have taken the time to clean yourself off before splattering the entire breakroom?
[CRE-334] Not in my contract, don’t give a FUCK. Also, for your information I’m 38! Nowhere near feeble age!
[E-4560] [NE-025] Its pretty close though.
[CRE-334] Fuck you guys. I just came to give everyone in the break room a heads up. The Manager has declared that all resting staff must return to work immediately to deal with a level 5 emergency.
[E-4560] …Immediately?
[CRE-334] What do you think?
[E-4560] But… my food…
[CRE-334] Hesitancy will result in termination.
[E-4560] FUCK!
