Rise

The subject can extract data from herself or the internet to create weapons. The lightsaber is her most frequently used weapon, and can cause significant physical damage in a short period of time.

After repeatedly witnessing and experiencing workplace bullying, the subject lost control of her emotions from the accumulated stress and awakened her Sinner power in a fit of rage.

Her corruption level is mild, but when the subject experiences intense emotional fluctuations or activates her power, digitalized mutations appear on her skin.

The subject studied at a prestigious Eastside academy and later interned at Nirvana. She is the sole survivor of the mysterious attack on Nirvana. Investigations reveal that during her internship, she had many conflicts with the victims and also exhibited violent tendencies, making her a suspect in this case. Given the case's severe social impact, she should be immediately detained and investigated.

Investigations show that the subject accumulated excessive stress from longtime workplace bullying, leading to her destructive outburst and awakening as a Sinner. Since being detained by the MBCC, various indicators show that her stress levels have gone down. She is currently behaving well and promoting reforms to the Bureau's work environment with the Chief's backing.

After leaving Nirvana, the subject was invited by the Chief to join the MBCC. During her interview, she revealed her identity as a Sinner and was detained.

While interning at Nirvana, the subject demonstrated excellent work abilities. However, due to her pursuit of efficiency and unfiltered communication style, she often openly pointed out her superiors' mistakes, leading them to treat her badly in return.

The subject is exceptionally averse to exploitation and injustice at the workplace, leading to a buildup of unresolved pressure. She can only rely on playing squash to vent her anger and frustrations.

The sci-fi novel "Legend of the Star Realm" was the subject's favorite during her youth, and its protagonist Anniken greatly influenced her worldview. The image of Anniken wielding a lightsaber to fight evil and uphold justice left a profound impression on her. Thus, her power also manifests in the form of a "lightsaber."

After joining the MBCC, the subject demonstrated outstanding efficiency at work, completing tasks with astonishing speed and execution. However, she burns through the Bureau's budget by causing additional public damage from time to time. She says that she will try to avoid this in the future.

The subject has a strong sense of time and strictly adheres to her daily schedule. When the Bureau's time-reporting system was seven seconds out of sync, it was the ever-punctual Rise who was the first to notice.

The subject draws a clear line between her work and private life. While maintaining collegial relationships with most Sinners, she does not pursue excessive socialization outside of work. However, she does befriend Sinners sharing similar interests. For example, someone once saw her discussing the implementation of the "DisCity Labor Ordinance" with Mr. Fox.

The subject is dedicated to ensuring normal working hours for MBCC employees, and demands a corresponding increase in overtime pay. She has repeatedly suggested submitting a joint letter of protest to uphold everyone's legal rights. Rumor has it that the Chief was the first to sign this letter.

[Passing by the gym room, you get knocked down by a squash ball.]

Rise: Sorry, Chief. I lost control of the ball.

• Prompt: ...Ouch.
• Rise: It's all my fault. The spot where you got hit is already swollen. Quick, I'll take you to the medical room!
• Rise: 😖😖😖

• Prompt: What a powerful hit...
• Rise: I suddenly thought aboutwhat my former boss did to me while playing, and before I knew it...
• Rise: 😥😥😥

[Rise hands you a coupon.]

Rise: I booked a large private room at the karaoke, wanna join us, Chief?

• Prompt: This is such a good deal!
• Rise: It's a package deal I got a long time ago. I was tidying up my room and saw that this is expiring soon. You've worked all day. Why don't we go and have an overnight karaoke session?
• Rise: 😘😘😘

• Prompt: Overnight session... I've got a meeting tomorrow. Maybe next time.
• Rise: Sure, work comes first. Let's go together if I manage to book a room for the weekend.
• Rise: 😥😥😥

⚠ Internal Competition

Rise's efficiency puts a lot of pressure on the admin staff.

System Notifications: Rise, who occasionally helps out with work and always gets off on time, has become a headache for the Bureau's admin staff. She always completes all her tasks with incredible efficiency within the allotted time, putting a huge pressure on the ordinary employees.

• Prompt: Is she causing some kind of internal competition?

⚠ Lawless Zone

Rise is very unhappy about the Bureau's schedule.

System Notifications: Rise refuses to participate in any events scheduled after 6 p.m., saying it's against the labor law. She's also going to report the Bureau to the authorities so they'll deal with this lawless zone.

• Prompt: If you do this, I will be very grateful to you.

⚠ Squash Substitute

The Bureau's targets are wearing out quickly.

System Notifications: The targets in the Bureau's Training Room are wearing out more quickly than usual these days, and the Supply Office wants to check if this is normal. It turns out that it's because Rise has been substituting squash with lightsaber training as a way to decompress.

• Prompt: Considering the cost-effectiveness

Chief: Maybe we should go back to using VR?

⚠⚠ Food Delivery Judge

Even Rise is beginning to have a screen addiction.

System Notifications: During routine check-ups, many Sinners have been found with declining vision. Currently, the Bureau is strictly monitoring the overuse of communication devices and the internet.

Chief: Hmm, the ban combined with the promotion of offline entertainment has been quite effective. The situation has clearly improved. Huh? Why does Rise's name appear in the report again? It's been several times in a row...

• Prompt: Go find Rise

Rise: Approved, approved, rejected, approved... Next... Rejected! Just how morally corrupt must you be to file such an unreasonable complaint!

System Notifications: When you find Rise, she is indeed staring seriously at her device as reported.

• Prompt: Tap her on the shoulder

Chief: Rise, what are you doing? You look busy. Is there work you haven't finished?

Rise: No, I'm not working overtime. After all, it's hard to get overtime compensation four times your salary approved even here.

Rise: I'm just engaging in some... entertainment.

Chief: Entertainment? But you look... um, kind of angry.

Rise: Do I? In fact, I find it quite relaxing. It's become one of my go-to activities to relieve my stress from work. I highly recommend it.

Rise: It's completely free, and as long as you're a regular user, you generally don't need to install any additional apps on your device. Here...

Chief: ...Isn't this the food delivery app? How do you use it for entertainment?

Rise: This app recently launched a feature that allows users to help evaluate complaints. The amounts involved are usually small and there are plenty of cases. You get to have fun while helping set the record straight.

Chief: Okay... So you haven't become obsessed with food delivery but being the food delivery judge...

⚠⚠ A Better Workplace

Overtime work is inexcusable!

System Notifications: After the passing of the bail regulations, the Bureau begins to further promote the socialization of Sinners. One of the measures is helping Sinners sell their own products, that is, those uncontaminated by Mania.

Chief: Cassia's perfume sells very well. People buy it even without knowing who made it. The sales figures are impressive... Hmm? Am I hearing some heavy footsteps?

Rise: Chief, glad to see you in the office during work hours. You do accept complaints, right?

• Prompt: Agree hesitantly

Chief: Though I don't know what your complaint is about, yes. But Rise, maybe you should let go of Cassia first?

System Notifications: At second glance, you find Cassia behind Rise who's stomped into your office. There's a hint of confusion on Cassia's usually calm face.

Rise: Of course, I can let her go. But she's the subject of my complaint this time.

Chief: ...Cassia is the subject of your complaint?

Rise: That's right. I've been observing her for a week. I found that she works an average of 14 hours a day, her work is intense, and she produces a consistent amount of perfume.

Rise: Moreover, her perfume is ultimately sold externally under the Bureau's name, and it tops the sales chart every day! I suspect it's a sign that the Bureau is violating the labor law and exploiting its Sinners!

Cassia: You've misunderstood. I'm doing it willingly...

Rise: Profit can often drive people to go against the law and exploit their workers. It can also create the illusion that it's all voluntary! I cannot tolerate such injustice in the Bureau!

• Prompt: Calm Rise down

Chief: Rise, calm down. The Bureau does not have any requirements on the quantity of goods sold externally and Sinners do submit the merchandise voluntarily. That being said, you have a point too, hmm...

Chief: How about this, I will work on setting a daily limit on the quantity of goods submitted to prevent Sinners from overworking for whatever reason.

Rise: That's good! I'm glad my trust hasn't been misplaced. You are indeed a superior who dares to right the wrongs. I appreciate that.

Chief: I appreciate it too. After all, if you hadn't reported it, I wouldn't have known Cassia had learned to dodge the supervision system... I guess she won't be happy though.

⚠⚠⚠ Production Delay

The announced stage play is once again postponed.

System Notifications: As a major cultural and entertainment event of the Bureau, the stage play written, directed, and performed by Sinners and staff has always been a much anticipated activity.

• Prompt: Check Chief's inbox

Chief: There are still many letters this week asking why the play isn't being performed as scheduled... It seems to have affected some of the Sinners' moods. I might have to do something.

Lady Pearl: Oh, about that. In fact, we post a notice in advance whenever there's a postponement. But I guess some of the audience don't check the notice board regularly, haha!

Chief: So... Was the postponement planned? There haven't been any unforeseen problems that you need help with?

Lady Pearl: Hmm... I guess you can call that an unforeseen problem. In fact, we're currently caught in a sweet dilemma. It'd be amazing if you could help us find the perfect solution, Chief!

Rise: No way, that will make Anniken seem too quick to compromise if you write it like that! As a righteous lightsaber warrior, he won't bend to any injustice!

Rise: You can't showcase the core theme of Legend of the Star Realm and Anniken's noble character! I strongly advise against rehearsing and performing with this version of the script!

Chief: Um, so the play is postponed because you've chosen to adapt the classic DisCity fantasy novel Legend of the Star Realm and asked Rise, a huge fan of the books, to be the editor, and none of the drafts has gotten approved?

Lady Pearl: That pretty much sums it up! Although the girl's suggestions all make sense and are meant to improve the final presentation, my dear, you know we have a limited budget and the audience waiting!

• Prompt: Let's focus on improving the play.
• Chief: Let's focus on improving the play and make all the possible changes. If that doesn't work... maybe I can see if I can increase the budget.
• Rise: I knew I was right to trust you! Rest assured, your understanding and support will help shape a more ideal world!
• Rise: Now that we have a bigger budget, I'll add in some more detailed edits! The props here, the scene here, and the final stage design...
• Lady Pearl: Look how happy she is! Dear, we're all so grateful to you!
• Chief: Hold on, is this whole thing just a trick to get me to promise you a bigger budget...

• Prompt: Let's focus on getting the show done.
• Chief: It's no good keeping the Sinner fans waiting indefinitely. I think you should compromise and focus on getting the show done.
• Rise: Okay, sometimes compromise is necessary at work. I can accept that. However, there are still a few issues that must be addressed before the performance.
• Rise: For example, the transition between these two scenes, Anniken is lightsaber effects, and the stage design during the final battle...
• Lady Pearl: I understand how you feel, and the things you mentioned are indeed what we've been concerned about. Unfortunately, the budget is already stretched to its limit. We have no more funds to spend on them.
• Rise: But if we don't fix these issues, the final performance will just be a half-baked mess! Neither the Legend of the Star Realm fans nor our loyal audience will be satisfied!
• Chief: These are indeed reasonable requests... Alright, if fixing these issues means no more delays, I'll see what I can do to help you secure more budget.
• Rise: Good. I knew that's what you'd say!
• Chief: Why do I feel tricked... Is this whole thing just Rise and Lady Pearl's scheme?

Nirvana intern uniform, modified for enhanced mobility.

I will hold the verdict over these decaying, outdated working standards!
