Lobotomy Corporation: Second Wave

Day 11: The Start of My E.G.O

I felt my face pressed against a desk, I struggled to sit up, it felt like my body wanted to sleep a little longer.

"Heard the library became an Urban Nightmare, means they're going to be more of a threat now" I heard Tsuki's voice, I thought she was talking to someone else but when I finally sat up I noticed she was looking at me. "We should attack before they become the star of the damn city" 

"N-No...it'd be pointless, the more we wait the more books we can get" I saw her cross her arms on a chair, looking at me from across the room.

"The whole point is for revenge, not the books, and even if it was, what kinda book would you want?"

"Leo's"

"...yeah...figures" She uncrossed her arms and walked over to me, setting down the music player I just used. "I got more info on this thing, as long as you don't panic while using it, it'll allow you to sleep in peace without seeing any horrors, so only use it if needed...and don't abuse it alright?" I grabbed it and put it in my pocket.

"I understand"

"Hey Oliver, why didn't you just attack the library when it first appeared?" Tsuki sat on my desk and awaited a response.

"I..."

"Are you starting to feel some remorse for them? No, that can't be the case, I know you still hate Hod"

"I just couldn't...I...wasn't ready, physically, or mentally" I got up from my desk and looked at the TVs mounted on the walls, showing the facility's cameras. "Anything happen while I was out?"

"Nothing really, we had one break out" I looked over at her. "No worries, it wasn't anything major, just that stupid bird again."

"Right...How about that blob? The one that came from that thing" I still refused to say it properly...it didn't deserve the name...it surely melts though.

"Still existing...hey Oliver, have you heard about the index?" 

"One of the fingers right? In my opinion, they're psychos who're part of a cult, those stupid prescripts"

"So you do know about them...have you seen how bizarre some of them can get?"

"Yeah, I was given one before" I only followed them until they got to the killing aspect...and eating stuff that would kill me.

"You're not dead though" Tsuki began sorting different abnormality folders as we talked.

"Ironically one of their prescripts told them not to kill me...saved by the thing I hate you could say."

"Really? I thought they were ordered to kill you if they found out you didn't follow them."

"No, and even that, they only know because the prescripts tell them someone disobeyed their orders...hell, if the index pop up in my fixer office, then we know damn well why they're over there." I wouldn't be surprised if the index even appears here, they seem to always know where people are...well, at least if I'm here I'll have the backup of hundreds of employees...then again, they are a finger, so I can't exactly underestimate them. "Hold on, why are we talking about them?"

"One of our agents saw a few index people sign the invitation, we do have insider intel after all." I looked at her in disbelief.

"You have some of our people in the index?" She nodded, then continued talking.

"They're safe as long as prescripts are handed out, they're a messenger so fighting isn't common for them, but we still watch over them, so don't be worried about their safety."

"Still...to think you have people...wait, do you have people in all of the fingers?"

"No, sadly not, we only have people in the thumb and the index, though, we had our numbers in the thumb dwindle, thanks to their egotistical rules" ... "You can probably guess what happened, but our insiders have been getting picked out after we had to bust in one of their meetings to protect one of our agents" She shook her head. "How can people follow those rules, half of the time I'm sure they're made up." she took a breath "You know...there's a small little outpost that the thumb has, one of our insiders are there so we know how they're set up, we can take them out if you want, unlike the original Lobotomy Corp, we're a lot more stocked with weaponry...to be fair we did steal most of them, but you know."
