Re: Food price increase in A Block and F Block

It is with deep sadness that I report to you today that employees lives were lost while maintenance was being performed in our Alternative Rations processing plant 23A7-H.

Due to an unforeseen incident involving slurry processing equipment, Alternative Rations will now require 5 White Chits instead of 4. This price increase is a temporary measure and will expire in 30 cycles.

The incident is suspected to be sabotage due to the presence of graffiti disparaging our fine Rations as "recycled food", and the investigation is ongoing. Cleanup and maintenance teams have been delayed, once by a crowd of Residents angry over the price increase, and twice by the discovery of additional human remains. The investigation will reveal whether the victims were the traitorous saboteurs, or unfortunate employees.

It is important to understand the valuable role Alternative Rations serve. What may have once been discarded as waste can now be processed into something that sustains the very life of our Residents. Sabotage hurts us all. Report all suspicious activity and any persons making statements that could be construed as disparaging Rations or expressions of support for the traitors.


-Program Director of Alternative Food Sources

The blockage has been removed from Tunnel 15C.11.A17 and sewage should now be flowing normally.

Individual Residents are responsible for cleaning up any overflow in and around their dormitories.

You may file claim for damages, though this is strongly discouraged by Management, as wasting their valuable time with petty grievances diverts their attention away from more important tasks that benefit us all.

Lower Floors, Area #12 Subsection C

To all Workers:
It has come to my attention that a number of easily preventable accidents have occurred due to Workers not leaving things alone. I understand the urge to explore these lower sections, but do not go throwing switches or opening valves without direct clearance from Tower Engineering. When you have clearance to operate equipment, DOUBLE CHECK your written instructions to ensure you are performing the specified action at the correct station.

[image attached]

This flooded section took nearly 8 hours to pump dry, and less than 8 minutes to refill after a Worker mistakenly opened a valve directly adjacent to the one he was instructed to open. No one was injured during the incident, but a simple glance at the label and checklist would have prevented what will now be another 8 hour delay on critical repairs.

It's not that difficult, people.

I heard of rumors that some sort of thing that grows is rumored to be on floor 554032

and the rumor is that it can produce fresh air?
I highly doubt that some sort of thing exists

might have to tell Maintenance about it at some point in the future

Anyone got some rat gruel? I need it for my friends, paying for it

//Upload of Bloc to the Future//
65 mins.
/A group of young friends construct a car in the hall of floor 600, and find out that by going really fast they can travel through time.
The resolve to prevent the murder of the MCs mother by reversing the car through the hall. The footage is poorly edited, and contains an actual car they built out of scrap parts.
This car runs over an old woman and a child. They leave this in the film along with drunken laughter.
There is a 5 minute intermission of the actors drinking at a bar, as they recorded with the same camera. It is apparently one of their birthdays.
Following the intermission, they attempt to save the MCs mother. A drunken brawl between the MC, his friends and the Antagonist breaks out. At one point the character playing the mother gets clipped by an errant punch, and swings back with a haymaker which breaks one of the secondary characters jaw.
The murder is prevented. After a chase scene leads the Antag to be captured by "Maint" represented by teenagers in cardboard costumes.
The characters travel back to the future, but upon opening the door to their apartment find it filled with man sized insects (made out of cardboard and scrap metal)
Film ends on the characters all screaming.//

I wood like to know about the sludge on floor 490, it tastes like piss and vodka but looks like spoiled meat

Sir you are delusional. There is no "fresh" air. There is no floor 554032. Please get help from Maintenance. We do not want any harmful thoughts.

-citizen 0992

Probably sludge dumped from one of the Slavs' breweries. It's... probably not deadly.

I heard of a bar in the lower levels.
does anyone know about it?
did it go dark?

There is fress air if you wear gasmasks or have a filtered room, I know a guy who sealed his room and has a shifty pump

I will go do it once I figure out if the rumors are true or not then I will take of it

Not yet, I saw some guy go down there last week though ne never came up.

It went dark along with the barkeeper. Maintenance probably got to them.

None of us poor folk make it up high. The higher floor citizens don't take kindly to us. No news comes from high up.

damn I was hoping to go there in about 10 cycles

I saw some guy make a vodka engine one time, i think it exploded and killed some guy

wtf is this larp

what if they went against Maintenance rules and made their own [spoiler]air[/spoiler]

> Hell

The Slavs are always doing that shit. They are a menace.

I was going to make my own engine with pure alcohol

Hey does anyone have scrap, I need it and I will pay

//Excerpt from Kolyat's Diver Primer//
/The Divers Code is as follows:
* Honor the deal to the best of your ability. Divers do not promise, divers deliver, die or deny.
* Only another diver understands another diver, we will try to get along even if we don't like each other.
* First come, first dibs. This is the scavengers rule. It you want it, trade for it.
* Do not sabotage the endeavors of other divers, only one of us will survive in the end once we're at each others' throats.
* We all live in the block, we all live under the watch, we are all divers; do not act to besmirch the good name of the profession.
* Survival is easier with friends watching each others back.
* Do not let another diver suffer for nothing, if it is in your power to assist, then assist.
* We all share the Dive, share as much as you are willing. Information helps us bring prosperity to the block.
* Grant Mercy to the fatally wounded, no one should suffer in the dark for long.

how much scrap are we talking about here?

I can help you with the vodka in about 30-40 cycles

Paying per pound so I'd say 20 rations per pound

25 rations per pound

Come to floor 201 near the west stair case for a UV station! You NEED a tan! Only 30 Rubits a minute!

i've heard there are still trees outside producing clean oxygen, i've seen some on the outside horizon from the top floor.
i'm now going to the bottom floor, searching an exit.
i've got some russian standard vodka with me to bribe some guards.
i's be free!

Slav vodka is the purest thing around.

does anyone have some spare alcohol they aren't using? I am making an engine

Deal, deliver it to floor 300 and room 45

YOU ARE GOING AGAINST MANTINCE RULES YOU WILL BE SENT TO THE CATS

i recently came across an item i witnessed a man from floor 3976 smoking in a pipe. smelled foul, but the man said it produced a reaction of calming and relaxation. he told me one of the downsides was feeling very hungry afterward though. does anybody know what this is? he said some unnerving things like how he uses a lot of water to make it. how does water smell so bad and why was it green?

Maintenance Reply

Citizen remain where you are. A HighSec team has been dispatched you assign you to janitorial. These delusions of an "outside" are a danger to public safety.

-Maintenance

ok see you in a few cycles I need to make the long trip

thank you for dealing with this anarchy

Thanks, I would use the elevator if it's currently working or if it isn't I would try the vents, they are marginally safer than the stairs

Maintenance has been dispatched.

hey does anyone have some good lewd films I will pay a lot of rations for some

you will never take me fagots, I live on floor 2

Maintenance Announcement:

We would like to take this time to inform you once again that there is no "sky", "ground floor", "outside", or "sun". Any talk of these harmful concepts will be met with severe punishment or mandatory janitorial service.

how often do the elevators go down? I've never seen one before

one of my neighbors a few units over has a video of his 2 year old and a particularly large rat......if you're willing to pay out the credits.

Good ol’ buddy system. Served me all my long years in the flooded floors between 4438 and 4444. I’m an old man now. Almost 35.

Uh sure, I got one that has two actual women in it, I'll send the link if you send the rations up.

Like very few cycles or so

where do the rations come from? i mean, i make tools from scrap, but you have to make rations from something, right?

good I will send up soon

good see you soon man

do not question where the rations come from just be happy that you have some food on the table

I think they come from the farm floors, they grow food from the waste pipes, that's why maint punishes people who clog the pipes.

Good, I'll send it down in trade.

Maintenance Announcement:

Due to popular demand P-96 Bubbly is being reintroduced into the ration menu as well being available for order.

Maintenance appreciates the feedback we receive on ration menus. With your continued support, we will break yet another record for ration satisfaction.
Production goals for the entire ration menu have also been surpassed.

that make sense of why they do it

my whole family died of starvation. i was only wondering if there was a way i could make my own rations and maybe prevent that for my neighboring units. their 10 year old boy only weighs 30 pounds.

then Maintenance has chosen your family to die
sorry man

Give me scrap an you'll get rations

the 69 floor room number 420 fell down and a cutie fell at me from the floor above while i am naked she is at me but my mom teached me about stds and woman help maintenance announcement

Finally some good old Yea Forums

Sounds gay, you sure it isn't a bloc ghost?

If there is no ground floor what happens if you jump out of the window?

does anyone want some good ol' dick cone to floor 69 room 420

You fall into the well, where else would you fall?

The fall into the well in the center. The only windows face into the well.

what is this window you are talking about?

So there is a "bottom" then?

No, stop advertising that, all that is on those floors are gangs waiting to rape and sell people

No, you just keep falling until you hit the underbloc or the pipe runoff pool

no that is just a myth there is no bottom floor

I thought 27b was abandoned well over 60 cycles ago

There is a lake from the subfloors. The divers' have gone deeper, but found only more floors.
There is no "outside", "bottom", or "top".

Does anyone have wires in addition to the scrap that I am willing to buy? I am offering 50 rations for every 20 feet of wire

-P

sure what do you need them for?

There is a lake, it is where the well stops and the subfloors begin

Any more talk of "The "bottom" and there will be hell to pay.

nvm guys that girl was maintaince announcemnt and he was real cute we had good time

I need them for a project that I will be doing, it isn't anything hairbrained like the Slavs whatsoever

does anyone know what cycle we are on?

Yes! You are a good citizen! Stopping this dangerous propaganda.

i can't continue to live in this hell goodbye maybe you didn't know me when i was alive but not i will be known as the first man who jumped straight to the bottom goodbye again

there is no bottom of the bloc only the sub bloc

This is Kolyat,

We haven't spoken for a while, you and I. For the best. I'm here alone again, drinking. I took a shotshell to the front plate, and I can't keep down any solid food.

The alcohol is good for the pain. Keeps me going. Dulls my aim but hardens my stride and fists.
My father used to say that only the weak did not fight with a belly full of vodka. I am not weak Father.
But I am not strong.

I've been doing mercenary work, for many factions in the block. With the absence of Maint officers, it becomes harder to apply my primary trade.

Diving is difficult on its own, without someone to reliably sell maps to.
I must eat, after all. I am not strong enough to forgo food for personal achievement.
I sell myself, these hands and my training to those who can afford me.

I fight for, and against the Slavs. I fight for and against the Prisoners.
The whores.
The bloc lords.
The Undermen.
The Rich.
The Poor.
The cult.

I am no hero. I am just a man. I make mistakes. I fail contracts.
I kill when I do not need to out of rage, and fail to kill out of mercy.

There was, a woman, she worked behind the counter in my favourite stroganoff store. Beautiful. Hips that swung with every step. A sweet smile.
Even her scars, across her face; mauled as a child by a Snatcher.
She was gorgeous.
I'm not one to get caught up on women. If I need a fuck, I pay a whore and get it done with or find someone drunk enough at the bar to sleep with Kolyat the Diver.

But Natalya.

I lament her loss. Not for not having fucked her. But because she was so beautiful, and we had spent a lot of time talking over the Kvass and Stroganoff. The company was so pleasant, I forgot I was eating the canned meat.

I went to the Restaurant. Found her behind the counter. The stoves were all on, but no food was being served.
I did not see her father.
I did not see any customers.
I asked her, what was wrong and she assured me Nothing was wrong.
But there was no smile. Natalya smiles. So I ask again.

And again.
And again.
She bares her teeth. And takes a swing at me.
I block it, but notice my block crumble and my arm sting. I... I react out of rage.
I punched her.
I punched her in the teeth.
She clattered to the ground, spitting out the foundation of that lovely smile.
Teeth and blue.
Blue.

I am not strong.
I am no great hero.

I spent three hours, stomping something wearing the face of a friend into a thick paste. Then another hour doing the same to it's children.
And it begged.
It begged in her voice.

I need to dive again. Down in the dark, things make sense. Just you, and the monsters.
Up here in the light, the monsters have to be clever.
I do not hate them. I hate myself for not being more proactive.

I chose to let the shifters breed, through my inaction, in order to assist in breaking the riots.

I don't think I could've saved her, but if I was a hero... I would've tried...

Bloc to Prosper,
Kolyat
