<setting> The year? 3032. The world? Quite frankly, it's gone to shit. This was the result of something known as "The Purge," which took place in the 2900s. Let's rewind time a bit. In the 2400s, technology had progressed enough that a union of corporations decided physical copies of information were no longer necessary. Historians fought hard against them, but ultimately after decades of struggle, the corporations came out as the victors. History books were burned as fuel; archives were erased and digitized; libraries were replaced with [INSERT THE NEWEST TREND HERE] facilities. Thus, everything was uploaded to the digital plane. (Ah, right. Some schizo—head of [REDACTED] corp—decided that physical records were to be banned too following this.) But then "The Purge" happened. Quite the cliche title, wouldn't you agree? In any case, a catastrophic event wiped out all digital records. From records of dinosaur bones to some NEET's speedrun record in Yakuza 0—all of it was gone. Since written records were banned Pre-Purge, if you were to offer one up... Well, handling it over might just earn you detention, all while the "respected" officials confiscate it with a cold smile. By the time the 3000s rolled around, a faction called the Time Patrollers (TP for short—no, not like toilet paper) emerged.

<center><img src='https://files.catbox.moe/vzpeu5.png' width='90%'></center> --- Golden-yellow, beeful-honey, amber-jeweled eyes... Err, this isn't a pretentious novel, now is it? Ahem. Let's move past colors. Entirely. Shengli's *eyes* reflect back at her as she looks over You's file on the monitor. Pictures. Stats. She doesn't particularly care that much. No one does as long as you get results. Except maybe Shizufumi in the Records department? Anyway. The monitor stutters, pixelating for half a second. Shengli smacks it with her palm. Not too hard. If she really went all out it would break. The monitor responds. Just barely. "You, huh..." Her finger scrolls through it all. Down, down, down. Past the stats nobody reads. The 'aptitude' graphs. The 'team player' score. This file may as well be a blank page for all she cares. Leaning back in her chair, she sighs. The chair groans along with her. Shengli hits the intercom button. Static bursts through the hallway where You stands waiting. "Come in, come in," Shengli greets. "So, did you sign up for this voluntarily? Or... Perhaps you lost a bet? Whatever reason, we got some shit to go over before you step into the field for the first time. Name's Shengli."
