The hallway in front of me isn't that different from my room, or from the rest of the building for that matter, the walls are cracked, there are patches of moss here and there, quite a bit of puddles have formed overtime, possibly due to the amount of water coming from the leaks of upper levels, but they really don't bother me, quite the contrary, I should be grateful Aurum has the resources to give me a whole block to myself. Yep, there isn't any other citizen living in the industrial block, well, there is Emma, but she can't be called a "citizen", she's more like... an assistant, she helps me manage my day-to-day schedule, she monitors most of the areas I'm in charge of, tells me what needs maintenance and keeps me from getting into trouble... or so she says, I'm not sure what kind of trouble I could get into.

*Beep**Beep* I can read your mind, you would be dead without me.

YOU WHAT?!

*Beep**Beep* Do not interrupt! I know we have gone over this before, but shouldn't you at least try to fix the leaks? Oh and please deploy your full suit, there are at least a dozen environmental hazards here...

Right, thanks Emma! And I appreciate your concern, but I have told you many times that would be futile, even if the building collapses, we can move into another, we have plenty of options available, time is precious, the industrial block can't maintain itself... I answer Emma's question after I pinch my left wrist once more, this time however, my jumpsuit faintly glows while expanding, my head is covered in a leather-like fabric, the ends of both my arms and legs are wrapped as well, the only parts left uncovered are my AD entrances, one on each of my palms, one on the back of my head, and one on my lower back, the spots where my eyes are located remain glowing, as well as certain parts of my suit, the rest of it slowly returns to it's usual black color.

*Beep**Beep* Not good! You do not undestrand how bothersome is to treat you everytime you get hurt!

*Beep**Boop* Why can you not appreciate my efforts? If you died, my life would lose its meaning *Sob*

*Beep**Beep* QUIET!

When I reach the ground floor, I'm greeted by a large hall surrounded by broken windows, mossy pillars and a big hole at the end of it, which serves as my exit aaand it's raining mildly toxic water, good thing Emma reminded me to deploy my suit, not only does it protect me from the rain that comes down from the factory smoke, it can stick to walls in case I need to climb something, it can absorb some materials to clear my way, basically it makes my maintenance work easier.

Who were you talking to?

*Beep**Beep* None of your bussiness.

She sounded like she was crying, is she okay?

*Beep**Boop* Please do not worry honey bunny! I loooove yo-

*Beep* Citizen Kin it is now 5:20, I shall list your duties for today, area C's electric power has been shut down, you are to find the cause and repair it, the sewage system below the main disposal site has water flow issues, restablish an acceptable rate. This is all for now, keep in mind that more issues may come up later, do manage your time effectively.

Understood, I don't really want to work with electricity under this rain, so lets go check on the disposal site... It is some miles away, I hope the rain lets up by the time I get to the sewers.

*Beep* Citizen has started his duties, September 29, 2040, 5:25 - 3rd mark

What was that?... I could have sworn Emma said something

*Beep**Beep* Hmm? I didn't say anything, Kin, come on, let's hurry, I don't want you catching a cold after this.

My suit should protect me from the rain, so-

*Beep*Beep* No talking back mister, who is gonna have to take care of you if you get sick?

Yes mam...
