Poedit Cut/Unused Content: Slaughterers_Apprentice

002 WellM Edmund's a good lad. But he's always been a bit … limited. And my work has become so challenging of late.

003 WellM I've had to go to … "extraordinary measures" … to keep this town fed. But we are in an extraordinary situation, aren't we? You were so helpful bringing that package. Now we need to process it.

004 WellM I'm not proposing to hurt anyone, you understand. Just … ignore a silly old taboo.

005 PC_Art You want me to help … process … that package.

006 WellM Just go on through that door, if you're willing to help.

007 PC_Art I can't believe I'm even considering this. Maybe I should just walk out and report him to the police.

008 PC_Art People do have to eat, though.

009 PC_Art It won't be an easy choice to … unchoose.

011 PC_Art It's a very kind offer. I just have so much on my plate… these days. I think I'll just … go.

012 WellM Well, if you ever need V-meat, you can count on me!

013 PC_Art I wonder what I missed. I wonder if I'll ever know. Damn it, now I'm curious.

014 WellM And people say you can't get good help these days.

015 PC_Art Ow.

016 PC_Art Where's my things?

017 PC_Art No windows? That's not ominous at all.

018 PC_Art That looks like a terribly effective cleaver suitable for your more unruly animals.

019 WellM Welcome to Cutty's Mechanical Kitchen! Featuring the very latest in meat packing technology! It used to take days to dismantle a carcass. With my new inventions, one apprentice can reduce a carcass to its edible parts in no time at all.

020 WellM I hope you're as excited as I am. This is the very first time we're running our machines on the real … material.

021 PC_Art What have I got myself into?

022 WellM Now the first thing I need you to do is obtain the package from the upstairs cold storage room. Don't worry, at no point will you have to unwrap the package; the magic all happens through the provided access valve!

022a WellM First, we must exsanguinate the package! Bring it downstairs to the Exsanguinator.

022b WellM Before you mount the package, you'll need to operate each machine once; just to clear out any residue and check its operational soundness. Don't want to contaminate the product, do we?

023 WellM I must ask you to follow the instructions precisely and promptly. I have customers who are waiting for their meat!

024 WellM Don't let me down, lad. I have a very tight schedule and many hungry, hungry mouths to feed.

025 WellM I have so much faith in you! I know you're capable of more.

026 WellM I want you to take this seriously, Arthur.

027 WellM I don't know what your previous jobs were like, but there's no shirking in my kitchen!

028 WellM I can't afford to replace you, my lad. We'll make a good worker of you if it kills both of us.

029 PC_Art I don't recall signing on to be a prisoner!

030 WellM It's just for a little while, Arthur, while you get up to speed. The job we do is so very important to Wellington Wells. The fact is, we've run out of rats and ravens.

031 PC_Art Why don't you tell the Executive Committee? I'm sure they'd give you a medal.

032 WellM That's just it! I don't think they would. People love to think about cows eating grass happy in the fields. And they like to get a steak wrapped up in brown paper.

033 PC_Art So he loves to hear himself talk. Good. Maybe while he's talking I can find something here I can use.

034 WellM But they don't like to think about how the cow gets into the brown paper. How the meat was connected to the bones. They want everything neatly wrapped up in wax paper, so they can keep it out of their minds.

035 WellM We are here to let people deny uncomfortable things. So they can get on with their lives.

036 WellM Once you understand the value of our work, you won't even want to leave.

037 WellM Now: join the package to the Exsanguinator via the provided access valve.

038 WellM All right. The green light indicates that the Exsanguinator is ready for exsanguination.

039 WellM Now, turn the crank until the Exsanguinator determines that the package no longer contains free liquids. We don't want anything to go to waste, do we?

040 PC_Art This is rather more disgusting than I expected.

040a WellM Ah, good! As you can see, each machine will release the package once it has accomplished its purpose. Efficiency is our watchword!

041 WellM The amber light indicates that the exsanguinator has completed its function.

041a WellM Next up, evisceration!

041b PC_Art That would be… the eviscerator?

041c WellM You learn quickly! As before, engage the mechanism briefly to verify mechanical integrity.

042 WellM Please detach the package from the Exsanguinator and attach it to the second machine, which I call the Eviscerator.

043 PC_Art I need to get him talking again. What about?

044 PC_Art You're very good at justifying yourself. I suppose you learned that during the War?

045 WellM What are you talking about?

046 PC_Art I found your letter.

047 WellM You were a child then. You wouldn't understand

048 PC_Art Oh, yes, it was a happy, carefree time for us kids.

049 WellM I loved her. We were just two young people caught up in something bigger than ourselves.

050 PC_Art That doesn't sound like what the Home Army's onto you about.

051 WellM You don't understand. I thought they would stay forever. I had to sell meat. We had to get on.

052 PC_Art I suppose we all made our sacrifices.

053 WellM Have you done nothing you regret? Or is it just that you have all your regrets neatly wrapped up in brown paper, so you can pretend you don't know how they got there? At least I look at the blood, and the flesh, and the bone. At least I remember.

053a PC_Art Was it supposed to do that?

053b WellM Did you not see the blades come out?

053c PC_Art No, just sparks. Also, a metal thing just fell out of the main bit.

054 WellM Dismount the package from the Exsanguinator and attach it to the Eviscerator.

055 WellM The green light indicates that the Eviscerator is ready for evisceration.

056 WellM Pressing the button on the side of the Eviscerator will extend the blades from the nozzle. Try it now.

057 WellM Now press the button again to retract the bladeshaft. You will need to retract the bladeshaft in order to mount the package.

058 PC_Art Um … The, ah, bladeshaft won't retract.

059 WellM Hmmmm. Please open the side panel.

060 PC_Art I can see a lot of wires and gears and … smoke … and sparks.

061 WellM Oh, dear. The commutator has overloaded again. I thought I'd fixed that.

062 PC_Art Maybe you'd better come down here and fix it again.

063 WellM Hah! I'm quite sure you can manage on your own. There's a spare one in the store cupboard downstairs. There's only one way to insert it.

064 PC_Art Damn it, I've got to lure him down here. Maybe figure out how to break one of these machines.

065 WellM Come on, no time to waste. We're behind schedule already.

066 PC_Art It's in.

066a WellM There we go! Try the button again.

066b WellM Good as new! Well, it is actually quite new, so… y'know. Anyway, we're back in action! You can attach the package now.

066c WellM Well mounted, lad. Well mounted!

067 WellM Right! Now retract the bladeshaft and mount the package.

067a WellM Excellent! When the eviscerator is done, the package will be dismounted, ready for another package!

068 WellM Excellent! While the Eviscerator is processing, the green light will stay red. When the light reverts to green, the package is ready to be dismounted and replaced with another package.

069 PC_Art Another package?

070 WellM Once I achieve a steadier stream of raw material, I would hope we can keep these machines running all day. Or at least long enough to take advantage of any surplus … protein that can be obtained in Wellington Wells.

071 PC_Art Yes, I see you've got some very enthusiastic suppliers.

072 WellM You mean Mrs. Crannock.

073 PC_Art What does she mean by "new sources"?

074 WellM My God, man, who do you think I am?

075 PC_Art She thinks you have an ambition to be the "purveyor of the finest, freshest meats."

076 WellM I'll have you know I turned her down! There's such a thing as "too fresh."

077 PC_Art Imagine my relief.

078 WellM Aren't you a chatty Cathy? You must have been such fun around the office Joy dispenser. Well, back to work.

079 WellM Now for the final process. Bring the package to the Exfoliator on the next floor.

080 PC_Art Exfoliator?

081 WellM Yes, it exposes the skin to steam, separating it from the muscle, and then removes the skin, making it available for tanning or other purposes.

082 PC_Art I don't mean to be impertinent but … shouldn't you do that first?

083 WellM Oh, no no. There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers! But that would result in the leakage of liquid. And you wouldn't want to put it second, either, because the package is much easier to manipulate with its skin on.

084 PC_Art I'm so glad I asked.

084a WellM On with the exfoliating. Press the button, check the functional integrity, und so weiter. I mean, and so forth.

085 WellM Now, mount the package on the Exfoliator!

086 WellM Fantastic. Now, assuming the light is green, press the green button.

087 PC_Art The, uh, light is out.

088 WellM Would you check that it's properly powered? There's a good lad.

089 PC_Art The power cells are depleted.

090 WellM Don't tell me I left it running all night again. Well, there's nothing to do but replace the power cells.

091 PC_Art Can you bring me down some?

092 WellM Ho ho ho. No need! You can refill them at the Motilene dispenser I have thoughtfully provided. Come on, hup to!

093 WellM Superb. The package will be released once it's fully exfoliated. Do you think Exfoliator is the right word? I thought about "decorticator," but Exsanguinate, Eviscerate, Exfoliate, has a nice ring to it, doesn't it.

094 PC_Art Definitely Exfoliate.

095 WellM I'm so glad to hear that. I mean, it's a "Scalder/Skinner," but that doesn't sound very official, does it? And the last machine is the Extruder.

096 WellM Once the light turns green, please dismount the package from the Exfoliator and remount it on the Extruder.

096a WellM Oh, that's it! The package is now fully prepared! We're ready for the extruder! Mount the package and let's get cracking! Oh I can barely contain myself!

097 WellM This is really the machine I'm proudest of.

098 WellM It's a combination meat grinder, pulper, and injection mold meat former. You wouldn't believe what I had to go through to get the pieces.

099 PC_Art That's it! If I can break his step-down converter, he'll have to come down here!

100 PC_Art You're a poor man's Dr. Faraday, aren't you?

101 WellM You're flattering me, boy, and I appreciate it.

102 WellM I met him once, you know? Brilliant man. Brilliant man.

103 (PC_Art LINE MISSING)

104 WellM That's an interesting thought, but I think you have it exactly backwards. What we do is a sacred service.

105 WellM Butchers used to be priests, did you know that? We were the ones who sacrificed the bull to the goddess Athena, and offer Her the bones and the fat. And then they got the meat to the people.

106 WellM And among the Hebrews, the butcher is still a holy man. He has to know the Talmudic laws.

107 WellM We're Hierophants. Priests. We deal with the freshly dead, and we expiate the sin of spilling their blood. We are the guardians of the watchtowers between the living and the dead.

108 PC_Art No time to read this now.

109 WellM Are you even listening to me?

110 WellM You know what, just remount the package on the Extruder and stop trying to distract me.

111 WellM Excellent! Now we can fill our orders! You're doing a lovely job, by the way.

112 WellM One nice thing about working for a butcher is, you never starve! You can have as much meat as you like! See? I told you you'd be well compensated.

113 WellM Now, up on my board you'll see a list of orders. I've already filled in the addresses. All you have to do is press the right button. For example, if the order calls for one meat loaf, and one meat bundt cake, then you press the appropriate buttons, and then put the order in the pneumatic tube.

114 WellM All right? I've put the first order up on the board. Make me proud!

115 WellM Good work! Now put the order in the hopper.

116 WellM Off it goes!

117 WellM That's terrific. I have a feeling this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

118 WellM You're doing well. And doing good, too!

119 WellM I'm very impressed.

120 WellM Isn't it an amazing system? I'm quite proud of all the automation.

121 WellM I wish we had more butchers! I could start franchising!

122 WellM No, no, no. That's not what it says on the board! Do it again.

123 WellM That's not what the order is! Try again!

124 WellM All I'm asking is for you to push the buttons that match the order. How hard can that be?

125 WellM Are you messing this up on purpose? Do it again!

126 WellM I need you to do the same order as before, but this time, get it right! Is that too much to ask?

127 WellM Don't you think we have a responsibility to the former owner of the carcass? To not waste the food?

128 WellM Come on, don't dawdle!

129 WellM You're a smart lad, speed it up!

130 WellM I want you focusing on the job. This is no time to daydream!

131 PC_Art Uh -- there's smoke coming out of the extruder!

132 WellM Well fix it! Use a repair kit, or bang on it. Just get it done! I can't figure everything out for you.

133 WellM Come on! Get cracking! You're making us late!

134 PC_Art The extruder's stopped working. All the lights are off.

135 WellM Well put in some new power cells! We can't break the First Law of Thermodynamics, can we?

136 WellM You're doing a lovely job. Why don't you take a short break and get something to eat.

137 WellM And… look at that! I'm all out of orders! I think this new system is working brilliantly.

138 WellM Why don't you get some rest. I bet we'll fill twice as many orders tomorrow!

139 PC_Art I've got to find some way out of here.

140 PC_Art What's behind this parcel?

140a WellM Back to work, nosy parker.

140b PC_Art He clearly wants me to stay away from the cellar. Is that the way out, I wonder?

140c PC_Art Ow. Those bloody spankers. I've got to distract him with something if I'm going to get into the cellar.

141 PC_Art … A door! Thank God!

142 PC_Art It's got a keycard lock. And I suppose Mr. Wizard has the keycard.

143 WellM What do you think you're doing? You can't leave! Where's your dedication? Where's your devotion to our sacred craft?

144 PC_Art I need to read that journal I found.

145 PC_Art "August 30. Have to be more careful. I accidentally put my hat next to the suction coupling, and it went right into the intake canister. Spent an hour pulling felt off the blades in the cyclone mincer. Imagine if that had been a bottle? Or worse, a wrench?"

146 PC_Art "September 9. Problem solved. Added a power cutoff to the suction coupling. Now it won't even start up unless a package is mounted onto it. I'm going to add the same cutoff to all the machines, to minimize accidents. Don't want Edmund's hand ending up in the V-meat!"

146a PC_Art Aha! If I stuff that broken bit of the eviscerator into the package, it ought to clog up the works nicely, shouldn't it!

146b PC_Art Ha. Let's see you extrude that.

147 PC_Art That's it. I can load up yesterday's package with all sorts of junk, and sabotage the Extruder.

148 WellM All right! Are you ready for another day of serving people? I mean, serving the people, of course. Hah hah, my little joke. Never mind.

149 WellM I'm just going to start up the board now.

150 PC_Art That doesn't sound quite right?

151 PC_Art Do you want to come down and see what's going on?

152 WellM No, no, I'm sure it will sort itself.

153 PC_Art Something's gone terribly wrong! There's smoke coming out!

153a PC_Art Oh, it's, er, it's doing that… smoky grindy thing again.

154 WellM That doesn't sound good. I better come down.

155 WellM Don't try anything clever. We have a lot to do today, and it takes so long to recover from the Spanker.

156 PC_Art Maybe if I hide I can catch him off guard.

157 WellM You maniac! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you to hell!

158 WellM People are starving! Don't you understand? We are witnessing the end!

159 WellM You'll pay for this! I'll never let you out now!

160 WellM I'm almost tempted to turn you into a package. Almost.

161 PC_Art I think I'll just get my things and go.

161a WellM Did I pass out? My neck hurts something terrible! Bloody hell! He choked me unconscious!

161b WellM Where are you, ye little twerp!

161c WellM You insubordinate bastard! You get back to your post!

161d WellM We'll have none of this Bolshevik shirking!

161e WellM Heavens, this is clogged up something proper!

161f WellM Are you skulking about somewhere?

161g WellM Don't wander off, I'll need you here as soon as I have this up and running again!

161h WellM Apprentice to the extruder room please, apprentice to the extruder room!

161i WellM Nnnng… damn thing…

162 PC_Art I don't see anyone else's things here. That's a good sign.

162a WellM You're not in the cellar are you?!

162b WellM You little fucker, you're in the cellar, aren't you?

162c WellM Come now, this is no way for an apprentice to behave!

162d WellM Come now around when there are mouths to feed, there's a good chap.

162e WellM Come now most unbecoming behaviour!

162f WellM Come now your sense of duty?

162g WellM Ah there you are; back to work with you.

163 PC_Art You know, Mr. Cutty? I think the police will not share your enthusiasm for your new product line.

164 Bobby What's going on up there? I heard shouting. Where's Reg?

165 PC_Art Mr. Cutty's turning cadavers into V-meat. I barely escaped becoming V-meat myself! He's got these horrible machines in there that turn people into… meat bundt cake!

166 Bobby Human bundt cake! That's monstrous!

167 Bobby Is he armed?

168 PC_Art He has a rather nasty Spanker, but I think he's a bit trapped in his cellar at the moment.

169 Bobby Right! We'll knock out the power, and go spank him ourselves!

170 Bobby Thank you, citizen! We'll take it from here.

171 WellM You can't do this to me! I'm pillar of the community!

172 WellM It's all lies! I never! Those are perfectly legitimate machines!

173 WellM I'm only trying to feed people! We're letting perfectly good meat go rotten! That's insane!

174 WellM I'll give you free sausages for the rest of your life!

175 PC_Art Perhaps I should give a thought to becoming vegetarian

176 WellM Come on, back to work?

177 WellM Where have you wandered off to? No shirking!

178 WellM The Devil makes plans for idle hands!
