If a D-class dies and we can recover the body, we might toss it into you. You work with us, we work with you.”
[BOUND BY DUTY] “As an officer, you should know the value of an opportunity to pick and choose recruits.”
There’s silence. Neither of you move a muscle. You’re planning on contingencies in case he doesn’t budge, trying to process which disposables and androids would best work for him…<span class="mu-g">when a tendril reluctantly waves at the camera.</span>
“Frigid bitch would've fed me five employees by now. But I can see the value in your suggestion. This…temporary agreement will work for now.” You squint. Temporary? “I'll halt the recruitment of the non-combatant for now. There will be better choices."
You flip your camera back to Kor. The manic, melting smile has vanished. His flesh seems a bit more solid now. When he looks down at his half-solid hands and fingers, it takes Emily (your nurse Android) and Arthur (Anomalously blessed employee) holding him down to prevent him from trying to rip at himself.
>Kor's infection has halted. He'll slowly recover with proper medical care.
"I'll keep you to your word. Trust goes both ways, Administrator. I value the protection of this facility at all costs. I do not want you to harm the employees residing in it."
You want so badly to tell him that he's the whole reason why Kor is being harmed in the first place, fuck, you're pretty sure he has permanent damage as is. Does the anomaly even know it was harming Kor? Does it even mean what it's saying?
But this is better than nothing. Even if this thing's logic seems faulty and illogical. Wants to protect the facility yet is willing to harm the staff...
"The same to you, Shot. I see you have kept your end of the bargain with Kor. Let's hope we do not need another discussion like this again."
"Agreed." Shot fires back.
This is probably the best you're going to get for now. Kor isn't literally melting and you reeled in Shot somewhat. All you can do is move on to the next task and hope.
>Award the winner of the Tournament with the Champion Belt (who was it again?)
Holy shit, you forgot about the tournament. You thought you were forgetting something but it's easy to let things slip with invasions and one of your employees literally melting in front of you! Time to check the footage.
You go back to a hour or two after you killed Red Blooded American. A handful of employees are standing in the now empty containment cell, with Employee H (Hirose. Egotistical actor) and Employee Y (Yovani. Director android) watching over.
The rules they set up were simple. Only melee weapons, each person is given a stab resistant vest, TKO or failing to get up before the countdown is a loss. The matches go by pretty quickly. Which is a given since most of the employees who signed up didn't seem to be combatants, mostly random employees or disposables.
You smile lightly when you see Employee S2 (SPAMTON) getting his face stomped on by a boot.
