>Shot, Beta, B to Bond Shot. Ask him about the previous management from before current Admin and facility operations.
The two old men look at each other, then at their PDAs, before giving the other a firm handshake. They quickly move to the third floor after putting on some basic armor. Passing by the army of meatmen, with <span class="mu-b">Kor hanging out with the other soldiers.</span>
<span class="mu-i">AUTHORIZATION: Ah. Finally.</span>
ANOMALY: Finally. Some experienced faces. C'mon, sit down, gentlemen.
The meat-infested cell shifts and twists until two chairs made out of meat rise up from the ground.
The two men sit down, not having any other option.
B: So. Looking for some old coots, huh? Some raggedy bones.
β: Can't blame him a bit. The new generation doesn't know what it means to actually try.
ANOMALY: See? You get me. Only a good, hard-working soldier like yourself deserves to <span class="mu-r">live after talking to me.</span>
Employee B shudders.
B: Right. Talk about the new generation aside, you've been here a while, correct?
The meatball raises up a tendril. You suspect it's trying to give a thumbs up.
ANOMALY: Correcto, trash man.
β: What was your experiences with the previous manager and the facility? Considering this whole "super soldier" thing we hear about.
β: Any other information would be great. Our knowledge of most of the facility is sparse.
<span class="mu-i">The protection of our future is all that's needed. It does not matter how you get there.</span>
ANOMALY: That <span class="mu-b">frosty old bitch?</span> God, she was a fucking nuisance.
ANOMALY: Constantly babbling about "energy efficiency" and "needing more juice to buy more employees".
ANOMALY: Didn't spend one fucking penny to keep the facility safe. No wonder why filthy anomalies have infested the bowels of this place.
ANOMALY: So, I kept badgering that fucking bitch, and eventually she relented. We started harvesting from the anomalies.
ANOMALY: It's disgusting that we had to rely on the things we were meant to contact but all's fair in love and war, huh?
β: Well, you are on-
Employee B smacks Beta on the back, shutting him up.
B: So, this super soldier program as a cost cutting measure because the Administrator didn't want to spend any cash?
ANOMALY: Well, when you put it like that, it blows.
β: Well, it's not like it's ineffective. Your soldiers did help us fight back one of the Invaders annnd we may need your help again.
ANOMALY: Sure thing. Not like those corporate suits cared about keeping this place safe. We're meant to build the god damn future, not rot in parodies of the past.
B: Good, good. I do want to ask you a question, though, before we jet.
B: Did you notice any side effects or changes to you or your men after the program started.
ANOMALY: <span class="mu-b">No...?</span> Why? I'm a human just like the rest of you. I haven't changed.
ANOMALY: <span class="mu-r">Hell, you trying to imply something, boy?</span>
β: Sorry for the comment. We'll be heading out now.
ANOMALY: Hrm.
The two old men exit the containment cell.
