ANOTHER DAY
Chapter 7
>Another Day
>And this is everyday life.
>It’s unfair, harsh, and grueling, but you’ve never had a choice.
>Does that “lost memory” really exist? Or maybe it’s just wishful thinking?
>This is all you’ve ever known, and maybe it’s all you need to know.

>This is all you’ve ever known, and maybe it’s all you need to know.
>This feeling again. Suffocated with silence as your mind goes blank. You were always easily COMFORTED when traveling through the LIGHTBEAM.
>You are not CONSCIOUS in the LIGHTBEAM nor are you UNCONSCIOUS. Your brain is off, and your thoughts USED TO BE NONEXISTENT. Now, you can’t help but have this buzzing static in your head.
>You used to feel euphoric, but the way you feel now... it doesn’t feel the same...

>Touchdown.
>Another day, another job.
>Another day, another job.
>Another unexpected mission right after that terrible job dealing with PRINCETON URGULRUCK.
>Is this your punishment for stepping out of line?
>You’re still unsure if BOSS even heard you. If he did, maybe it was rude to act that way? He’s given so much to you and you were wishing to move on from it. Maybe it’s best if you just keep your mouth shut and keep everything to yourself?
>Maybe... this is all you need to know?
>Let’s try to make this job quick! These unexpected jobs are the worst.

[M] - Nice Catch!
>Ah, the ol’reliable! That stupid fucking CLIPBOARD that you hate, and two MOBILE DEVICES.
>Nice catch! The three of us really make a great team!
>That was a joke, you didn’t catch shit. You’re just reading a couple words off a SCREEN.
>That was also a joke, we know you fantasized that you caught something because you’re so DEEPLY CONNECTED and IN LOVE with these characters.
>Your parasocial media complex is showing. We know, it’s okay.

>Can’t he ever wait? He’s the one that summons the LIGHTBEAM, shouldn’t HE KNOW the time it takes to travel to the jobfield? For an all-mighty being he surely isn’t smart. Why does he even need to talk to you directly? It’s the same protocol every-damn-time:
GO TO PLANET>BOSS SENDS PLANET INFO>SEARCH PLANET FOR GOOD OR BAD>>>
IF PLANET GOOD>SIGN PAPER>LEAVE
IF PLANET BAD>CHANGE PLANET FOR GOOD>SIGN PAPER>LEAVE
IF PLANET TOO BAD>SIGN PAPER>LEAVE
>You LOVE to respond to him. Just like how you texted him back LAST JOB. You text him back EVERY TIME, even when he blows up your MOBILE DEVICE.

>See, what did we tell you? You love to message him back. That HEART OF GOLD strikes again!
<BOSS> Today, you two are tasked with searching planet N3R-DV13W. This planet has been sucked dry of its resources because it serves as a massive broadcasting station for planets within a 600 LIGHT YEAR radius!
<VAL> soooo a broadcastin station for a couple planets.. wut does that have to do with us??
<BOSS> WELL, YOU SEE, rumor has it that the broadcasting stations are all a SUPPOSED cover-up and the planet is SUPPOSEDLY being manufactured into a SUPPOSED massive super-bomb. Rumor also has it the 600 LIGHT YEAR radius is the range of the SUPPOSED explosion.
<VAL> 0_0
<BOSS> Find out if this is true. DO NOT take action. Report to me ASAP. Thank you!

[V] - The Horizon
>The smoke clears and the world around you fades away. So much for catching that clipboard as you drop it into the rocky ground. Val’s voice disappears into the abyss. You’re entranced and completely lost in thought.
>You’ve never felt so small.
>You think maybe others around you know what's best for you, and you trust their belief, but what about what YOU want? You’ve never understood knowing what’s best, but at this very moment you know you want more. Right in front of you, there is something larger than life. An opportunity for more– a DESIRE for more... a dream.
>This job, this lifestyle, is this all you truly need to know?

[V] - Welcome to Nucleia!
>It feels like your whole life everything was BLACK and WHITE. That no matter where you were, there was nothing but the dull existence of misery.
>That “lost memory” started all of this, and no matter what you try to suppress, you know there’s more.
>This job was never enough for you. You understand now that you always wanted more, you just never knew what laid ahead outside of those dimensional-teared walls. Now, everything is finally clear. What lies ahead isn’t just an assigned job, but instead A DREAM. The DREAM of living with so much COLOR and LIFE. The two very things you feel roaring across the horizon.
>You can’t help but feel all of your emotions implode. Your eyes swell up, and a single strand of water slips out.
