>V, J, Ranger Zero, and Maid Robot to Appease with Shot. Clean up that containment cell with V and the Maid. J and Ranger Zero are ONLY there to supply authorization and presence, and will have NO PART in this work otherwise.
"Do I really have to babysit these turds?" Employee J whines, which promptly gets him smacked in the head.
The four enter through the containment cell airlock.
<span class="mu-i">AUTHORIZATION: APPROVED.</span>
The meat soldiers and a meat tendril instantly turn to look at the newcomers.
ANOMALY: The hell do you want?
0: The others want to clean your cell. Remove some of the meat. For security reasons.
J: If you accept, we'll get out of your hair as soon as possible.
Employee V holds onto the maid robot's arms to stop it from automatically cleaning.
The ball of meat in the back of the room pulsates for a moment. Then the tendril slowly slithers away.
ANOMALY: ...Due to a recent talk, I shall 'tolerate' the order asked of here.
ANOMALY: Do not overstay your welcome. If nothing else, I must protect my cell.
V: Good enough for me. These cuts of meat aren't equally enjoyable.
J: Tch. Get it over with, kitchen boy.
Employee V lets go of the maid's arms.
Almost immediately, she begins to sweep away at the meat moss with incredible speeds.
A hiss slowly worms out of the meat ball. You can't tell if it's out of pain or not.
The two security officers stand in opposite corners of the room to watch over the cleaning up work.
Employee V quickly wraps his hands up before heading over to the airlock.
<span class="mu-r">Meat has started to creep up and around it, trying to worm through any gaps it could find.</span>
Employee V begins peeling away the meat from the airlock.
Ranger Zero squints her eyes when she notices what Employee V is doing.
0: Shit, good eye. The hell is that?
ANOMALY: What do you think? I won't attempt to hide what it is.
ANOMALY: <span class="mu-b">My mind can only suppress the instincts so well.</span>
V: A containment breach would ruin the flavor of this facility.
The maid robot hums a digitalized tune as it keeps sweeping away at the floor.
Employee V cleans away the airlock, hopefully preventing any meat moss from reinfecting the third floor.
A radius of a few feet has been made around the airlock by the maid robot.
A tendril pokes up at the edge of the meat moss, sniffing at the recently disinfected section made.
ANOMALY: This is...uncomfortable. Not safe, not for the facility. I.
ANOMALY: This is necessary for the facility. Yet it isn't. Yet it-
<span class="mu-i">FEEDBACK LOOP DETECTED. PLEASE CONTACT MISS-</span>
The two security officers snap their fingers at the meatball.
ANOMALY: I. Uncertain how to respond. Will analyze. Unusual addition to the room.
0: Good enough for me. Let's get out of here.
With some effort, the three employees exit with the maid robot without further ado.
The meat soldiers look at the ball of meat.
ANOMALY: Don't look at me.
They turn away just as quickly.
