Lobotomy E.G.O::Regret
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
Initiating Voice Log.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
This is Control Team Captain Agent Faust. Logging today's Work records.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
My current location is... the Lobotomy Corporation Headquarters. Upper Layer, Control Team Department.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
It has been 9 days since the Manager's first day at work. 3 days have passed since the Information Team Department opened.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
The Clerks are almost all here... It is quite busy.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
This voice log will resume when Management Work begins. Pausing the recording.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
... Resuming Voice Log.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
I am... currently headed to educate our new hires.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
Also, the Manager has requested that I be assigned to manage the new Abnormality we received yesterday. It appears that the personnel newly deployed to the Control Team has expired.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
It seems that we've hired a new employee...
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
Oh, Excuse me... (Shuffling noises)
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
Hello, Jacob. What is it? You are hesitating outside the containment unit.
Jacob
(Level 1 Agent)
Ah, Team Captain Faust... I-It's my first assignment, and I'm... a bit scared....
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
There is no cause for concern, Jacob. The Abnormality assigned to you is likely to be the safest Abnormality here.
Jacob
(Level 1 Agent)
But... Its name here, look... It's really intimidating...
Jacob
(Level 1 Agent)
One Sin and Hundreds of Good Deeds...
Jacob
(Level 1 Agent)
Team Captain! W-what happens if I get unlucky and the thing decides to commit that one Sin against me? I-I don't... I still haven't...
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
Relax. That is not how this Abnormality behaves.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
Peruse the Abnormality Details, and conduct Insight or Attachment Works. And nothing will happen.
Jacob
(Level 1 Agent)
R-really...?
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
Faust does not lie.
Jacob
(Level 1 Agent)
O-okay. Thank you, Team Captain.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
... We are running somewhat behind schedule. Jacob is one of the newest hires assigned to the Control Team. It appears he was unnecessarily intimidated by a brief description of the Abnormality.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
I suppose this is a part of a Team Captain's job. I am certain that the Manager will be understanding.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
Then... I will continue this recording once I arrive at the containment unit.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
Testing, testing. Resuming Voice Log.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
My arrival was delayed beyond my initial predictions... I had a run-in with Ms. Malkuth, and had the pleasure of exchanging a few words with her.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
She inquired about the Work we had planned for the day, so I made an impromptu report.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
While it was unexpected that she wanted to know the expected completion time down to the seconds, I believe that records were helpful in giving her a satisfactory answer.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
She is a Sephirah, after all. She is responsible for an entire department. Her demands are not entirely unreasonable.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
Moving on... This is the containment unit of T-01-54, also known as the Forsaken Murderer.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
According to the prior records... As long as the Work results are good, there shouldn't be any difficulties with managing this Abnormality.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
Hm... (Sounds of flipping through papers) Work records show that the employee previously assigned to this Abnormality conducted Repression Works.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
... Which resulted in the overproduction of NE-Box. The Abnormality's head transformed into something akin to a metallic substance, which it used to crush the employee to death... Hm.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
Not many would understand the process by which a person's head transforms from flesh to metal. But that ineffability is simply the nature of Abnormalities.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
This record at least informed me that avoiding Repression Work on this Abnormality would be preferable.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
Even if something were to happen... I have an E.G.O Suit resistant against RED damage, so I foresee little trouble ahead.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
I will continue this documentation once the Work is complete.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
... This is Faust.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
The Work was successful.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
The Abnormality was observed muttering something to itself. It shuddered with anxiety and refused to look away from the floor. A proper communication was deemed difficult.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
It looked rather emaciated, so I attempted to perform an Instinct Work by providing it food items that humans find useful.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
The results are encouraging. I will record that Instinct Work is effective for this Abnormality.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
But... I have not observed any signs of its head turning into metal, nor am I any closer to learning the mechanics behind that phenomenon.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
Considering this E.G.O weapon was extracted from the Abnormality in question, it seems evident that the Abnormality's characteristics are at least partially carried over to the shape and particularities of the E.G.O weapon.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
Ah, the siren...
Announcement
(Lobotomy Corporation)
[WARNING. ORDEAL OF GREEN DAWN ALERT. SUPPRESSION PERSONNEL FROM ALL DEPARTMENTS MUST IMMEDIATELY ASSEMBLE AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT ELEVATOR OF THE UPPER LAYER.]
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
The Manager's orders have arrived via the devices. ... It is time for the Ordeals already, then.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
Each employee is equipped with a device that displays orders from the Manager in text form. The devices must be checked often as the orders are rather frequent.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
I must go and assist them in Suppressing this Ordeal.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
I am not particularly concerned. Maybe this Ordeal will be Suppressed before Faust even gets there.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
The Manager does not yet know... but the Ordeal of Green Dawn is quite insignificant compared to what is to come.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
... Hm, no. I must hold my tongue, lest I risk confusing any other individual who will be listening to this recording.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
Faust is... determined to struggle, to survive the remaining 41 days of Work.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
And I will leave it at that.
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
Well, then...
Faust
(Control Team Captain)
Faust, ending the Voice Log.
