Executive Dictation 056
...who would have thought it, am I right? Whole factory, ripe for the taking. None the wiser, save for me. And now the King, I reckon... who is also me but different. Better. I know it ain't wise, to be so fanciful. But it grows so lonely. Just me and the pigs. And the machinery. And now the King. The others will come soon, though. To work for me. The laborers... Got to start small. But then we'll build... and we'll feed... and we'll feed and we'll feed...
Executive Dictation 108
...the King can scarcely believe how well, ahem, how awful fine it's all gone. I came from nothing. But now I am a self-made man. Rich in meat and money beyond what one can believe. Power and privacy are mine. Everything I ought ever to desire is mine except for... And the King, he may not have been with me from the beginning, but he was the first to arrive. He kept me from being alone. That is for true. Don't think I could forget nor escape that fact...
Executive Dictation 113
...think I got it. Any personnel - and I don't care if they be a line worker or the janitor or a stars-damned cystypig - we shall tell them to call the King by his rightful moniker. And do it properly. None of this Slaughterhouse Clive pigshit or I will show them a slaughter they won't ever forget. Did I make myself clear enough? ... Yes? Marvelous. That ought to do it...

SUBJECT: The end is upon us.
I don't want to say I told you so, but I did message you that the writing was on the wall back in April. Did I not? (Which, if you remember, is one of the reasons I begged you to please hurry in your decision making, which inadvertently and unfortunately stoked your ire at me for rushing you.)
But now everything I feared is coming to pass - C&P's abandoned Monarch with the others. The factory's in working order, but less and less of us keep showing up for shifts. 'Cause what's the point, really? Never got my last two bit carts for wages owed which means I can't pay rent, Aggie, let alone sponsor your wastrel of a cousin's gambling habits. I know how you titter it away whenever I raise these sorts of concerns, but I'm not joking, Aggie. It's only a matter of
time before I'm plumb out in the streets. What're you going to do then? Keep telling me to wait?
I can't.
The next ferry's scheduled for Thursday at 2 o'clock. I'll be on it, and I'd like you to join me. If you do, then I'll have your answer at last. If not... then I guess I'll have an answer the same. Either way, I won't be waiting for another month on end.
See you at the ferry platform (I hope).
Yours in heart if not body,
Fitz

Clive,
What're your thoughts on that clog? Can't be a raptidon - weren't no scales. And there ain't enough cysts for it to have been a wayward pig. But I'll be damned if I ever seen vermin so large.
I'll admit I was skeptical when you called me and the fellas back to the factory, like we were gonna run it rogue (well, I guess we did) - but you were right. There was money ripe for the picking, even without C&P's umbrella, and I just want you to know... I appreciate what you did. For each of us.
P.S - Best have maintenance check the grating on the vents. That's the second clog this month.

SUBJECT: What ends will begin again.
Factory's back online. Feels strange. Not only did I never think I'd stoop to this sort of work, but they gave me your place on the line.
Wish you could've waited. Just for a little while. But that's fine... me and cousin Isaac are right as rain, we are.
I never met a man so eccentric as the factory's new owner, Clive. Got a dreadful temper, he does. But he pays our wages on time, so I guess I don't rightly mind.
Just... if you ain't coming back, you could at least answer my darned messages
I feel like a fool sending these. Like I'm pouring my heart into some silly diary. Maybe I'll go visit with Isaac. Haven't seen him in a few days.

SUBJECT: Need me a new job.
1. Cannot. Fricking. Take. It. Any. Longer!!!!!!!
I know the money's good. I know the work's steady. But, Cor, you can't hardly fathom what it's like. Day in and out.
Grew up with the slimy worm, and now he's got me calling him "The Boarst King of Monarch" like real fragging royalty. Like the myths of old.
And he's always muttering to himself. Or shouting. Splattered with gristle or worse.
But I know what happened to them fellas who got pink slips. Won't go out like that. Not me. And not on account of Slaughterhouse Clive.
I quit.
Your loving brother,
Janyn

The cystypigs get five cans of boarst per meal, per day, each. Not four, not six, not ten. That is FIVE, precisely. And I don't care how much they squeal at you or how pathetic-looking their sad little eyes are - if you over or under feed my stock I will carve each of your limbs away then run your shrieking body through the machine. Dreadful slow.

...Oh, for piss and plasma, I ain't input "start recording" now did I? No, you stupid piece of shrapnel computer.
I was only saying how it irks me when the others filch my lunch - P-Free Butter and Purpleberry Jelly, I'll have you know, not boarst and for good reason - and while they're gorging, they got the nerve to fart and waggle their middle fingers at me from the factory floor. 'Cause they know, I know, I can't go down there 'til the shift break. And by then it's too late.
Tell you what though. I'm tempted. I'm tempted, all right, to use the Sentry Automechs' new Pink Slip Protocol to terminate each and every one of 'em.
Won't be waggling their middle fingers then. Now would they?
