Chapter 822 - 428: Sequence
You woke up from the slumber spanning ten sequence cycles, so much so that you’ve almost forgotten how to use ’the body,’ urgently needing to relearn breathing and metabolism.
But it’s okay, even though your personal memory bank is still downloading and integrating, your memories, knowledge, experience, emotions, and social relationships are still quantum entangled from countless light years away.
But your core consciousness has already matched to the wetware, covering the sequence imprint keys of your company title, permission level, and assessment indicators, and has been authenticated through the company system.
Thus, you successfully activated the new user tutorial.
"Gene prototype, deviation value zero."
"Memory overlap progression, twenty-one percent."
"Welcome back, CD-SSC-Deneb-319.
Current sequence KPI, LYT95TCR85CTB90CLB82, weighted score 88, operational sequence positive deviation +12, excellent.
Current sequence SQC, 300, current realm MET exchange rate, 0.2/0.2/1.
Current sequence wetware, Lepidoptera-Moth prototype..."
Although you are still in a disoriented state, unable to understand the situation, some of the most basic common knowledge is being instilled in your brain with the help of the new user tutorial.
CD-SSC-Deneb-319, Control Division, Sequence Section Chief, handling safety and rebellion. Deneb-319 is a personal code, presumably you were born near Cygnus.
Sequence, in short, is the work period, schedule, 60 standard Earth years, after all, theoretically humans can extend life indefinitely these days, there is no longer a so-called ’retirement,’ and the company certainly won’t waste money on retirees.
Thus every 60 years, the company conducts KPI performance assessments, based on company loyalty, task completion numbers, performance target values, and team productivity weighted scores, decides whether to extend the agreement with you, keeping the contract to the next work period sequence.
Different companies have different evaluation systems, but in layman’s terms, outstanding performance, good performance, higher than peer deviation value +10 is excellent, securing the job for the next sequence, even having the qualification for promotion and salary increase, climbing to the pinnacle of life.
Conversely, performance below peer deviation value -10 may trigger negative reviews, causing downgrades, consecutive three performance assessments with negative reviews, or any term weighted score below 60 marked as failing, naturally leading to being laid off.
As for SQC, sequence quantum credit points, they are actually not currency, based on past job performance and consumption quota, the company assigns you the current sequence available credit limit.
And MET, represents the material, energy, and time you can exchange with each SQC. For example, you can use 1 SQC to exchange for 1 unit Earth-year time, or equivalent material and energy production for one year.
Of course, time cannot be materialized, it can only be said that during this year, unless you are not involved in some nuclear explosion production accidents messily dying, even the scraps cannot be recovered, you can enjoy company-provided basic living guarantees of clothing, food, shelter, medical health to ensure you live full ’1 year’. And this is only the minimum maintenance assurance for the current wetware survival state, additional luxury consumption body repair enhancements certainly need extra payment.
Or, according to the current universe MET exchange ratio, you can use 0.2 SQC to exchange for the current realm’s company asset material production capacity for one year, or energy production capacity, as for what form of material energy is produced, considering the cost of exploration and processing technology patent manpower, there are naturally more detailed algorithmic enhancements, but anyway, considering the company’s scale, each SQC is already a substantial sum.
Yes, you noticed, you actually don’t have real personal assets, you only have company debt, because your clothing, food, shelter, and transportation, everything is granted by the company, your whole person is an asset of the company, the so-called human resources.
So if you really get laid off, how to live after leaving the company, you don’t know, and dare not know, you only know suddenly waking up from ten sequences of silence and returning to your birthplace realm, there must be some big trouble.
Thus you couldn’t care less that the memory bank is still updating, quickly downloading the memories related to this realm, then start checking recent Control Division business reports, immediately spotting the problem.
A report was illegally delivered, using unauthorized channels, sent to your personal memory bank, triggering the company’s intranet firewall alarm.
Normally under these circumstances, sending directly to subordinates for handling or transferring to the information security department head to take over is sufficient, but you noticed the report submitter, OHR-LHA-115.
Of course, you still remember LHA-115, this is about twenty sequences ago, when you were serving as a supervisor in this realm, personally recruited indigenous, outsourced worker, collaborators for many years thugs.
That ’unauthorized channel’ and ’personal number’, naturally are emergency contact methods you provided to the other party.
Even your backup combat wetware was given to him as a reward for tasks, indeed can be considered your many years trusted close aide, combat asset ready to be deployed.
Thus you choose to lift the alarm, opened the report and took a glance.
Native Sync Proposal.
In short, this is a recruitment proposal, LHA-115 recommends an indigenous, hoping the company conducts a recruitment interview.
Alright, this indeed violates the company’s taboo.
After all, even as someone climbing to the operational sequence, participating in mid-level management across realms as a chief, you don’t have personnel authorization to recruit formal workers, OHR-LHA-115 is merely outsourced temporary worker without contract, without authority, without assurance.
Of course, the company actually turns a blind eye, permitting formal staff to privately hire outsourced personnel to ensure successful completion of performance indicators, with the 300 SQC limit in your hands, normally it doesn’t matter.
