He continues on as if he didn't hear you at all. "I-Company is preparing to do a press conference with the assistance of one of their partners, the Krakatoa Family. They plan on showing off a brand new product produced by a new Singularity they just acquired."
[SEEKER OF THE CITY] A Singularity is a piece of classified technology that is far beyond what can normally be created by humanity. Most are found in the Wastes as a result.
[SEEKER OF THE CITY] That is what is outside the City you are accustomed to. You know little on it outside of it apparently being mostly desert.
"Now, why is this relevant to the commonfolk such as you and I? To put it bluntly, they're going to do a power play. They're going to gather as many resources as they can for an upcoming expansion." He points at the screen. "Which includes Cleaners."
"Mind being a bit less vague? What exactly does this company plan on doing with, I dunno, me?"
"Simply put, they're going to headhunt for everyone who's willing to work for them. You're probably going to get a slip of paper in the mail or your Handler is going to force to bend the knee to offer it as an option."
"<span class="mu-r">Accepting it is probably a bad idea.</span> The rewards? They would be worth it, Nicole, but it's probably going to throw you DEEP into the water with nary anything to hold onto. Be wary of anything asking you to go to District 9 within the next few days."
"But if I wanted to risk it..." Dollar signs appear in your head. If nothing else, you do need enough money to eventually move to a safer place for you and whoever gets close enough to you.

No dreams, just like always. You wake back up to see that the there's more light pouring out of your window. You were probably out for a solid two hours. You rub your side a bit and it doesn't hurt as much. The wound is still there but it healed enough to not be a liability.

Since you're going outside now, you decide this is the time to slide your combat bodysuit underneath your clothes. It takes a bit of a hassle undressing and redressing but it's on now. This time, it's hidden fully underneath your clothes. Good.
Huh.
You know, normally a voice would be telling you something or freaking you out but it's been awfully quiet now. You just hear yourself thinking. That's about it. Wow, it's been a while since that voice has been shut up.
>MEDICATED: UNSTABLE has now been disabled as a bane. The other voices will also pop up less frequently.
Without anything holding you back now, you head outside with your four A-Energy boxes. Shopping time!
