>Regardless, they will take a round or two to reload.
>Have G2 try to talk to one of the meat soldiers, alone if possible.
G2 sits down with one of the more social soldiers, with Spike standing as guard. You decide to listen into some of it before doing some other things.
G2: How does it exactly feel to be a part of a whole collective?
MEAT: Well. It's hard to remember a time when I wasn't part of it, really.
G2: You used to be a member of this facility's security, correct? Do you remember any of that?
MEAT: Correct. It's a blur to me, really. I remember bleeding out on the ground because the boss didn't buy weapons. Focused on sending as much of it to Corporate as possible.
MEAT: I knew that the Sarg was contained here, so I thought...might as well survive. Even if I'm not me anymore.
G2: Were the others like that? How long ago was it?
MEAT: Oh, no no, most of those guys were stabbed by a tendril and slowly turned into what they are.
MEAT: And, like, twenty years ago? Years stop meaning anything after a while.
G2: Duly noted. Do you feel like yourself anymore? Do you have a name?
MEAT: Ha. Thinking in such singular terms is hard. I'm just part of the platoon. <span class="mu-b">It's better that way, really.</span>
The conversation goes on but you still have some other things to do. You'll badger G2 about the rest later.
>Have C-0RA/ourselves look into the history of controversial TV broadcasts, if anything can be found.
C-0RA is still busy keeping an eye out on the third floor intruder, you decide to check out what you could find on "controversial TV broadcasts". Your console can barely access external databases but you try your best to piece something together.
There have been dozens of controversial TV broadcasts. A good chunk of which were insults against the ruling Company at the time, a handful involved anomalous cognitohazards, and another chunk were just poorly timed stunts by A-Company (or N-Company, oddly enough)
You managed to find something a bit similar to the broadcast shown last hour. While none are a 1:1 match, there have been reports of random and bizarre acts of violence done on live television.
Mostly on talkshows and news broadcasts, you note. You can't find any names that are unredacted but there is a phrase that stands out to you. "Going for a new record today" or "Looking to reach a new record" were said often by the culprits. A record for what, though? It's never clarified.
>Take the bath with K
With a LOT of hesitation, you decide to humor taking a bath with a fellow employee. You need a wash anyways, considering the crusted over tar on your arm and mouth.
S-4M merely just stares at you with a look of "really, sir?"
Keeping your arm covered, you head over to the first floor dorms. The employees you past by are slowly getting more used to your...condition but you can tell that frequent trips outside <span class="mu-b">probably isn't gonna help their morale.</span> Oh well.
