EMERGENCY CALL (MINISTRY)

Dear Hector Medina! Congratulations on your 85th birthday! Eighty-five is a grand age, worthy of honor and respect.

You served your Great Country well, and now it's your country's turn to serve you.

You must come to the Euthanasia Center in 14 days to undergo the Blissful Sleep procedure.

In the meantime, please put your affairs in order.

Excuse me! I'm not 85 yet! This is a mistake!

There is no mistake. The documents are signed and the voucher for the Euthanasia Center has been issued.

The order of your transfer from your current workplace to the Blissful Sleep waiting list goes into effect today.

Thank you for your service. Have a good day!

Wait a minute! This is impossible! In fact, I...

As part of the Population Genetic Purity Program...

You must collect a DNA sample from every tenant in your building.

Inspect each apartment and find items that contain suitable biological material - hair, saliva, blood, skin...

A courier will come by in a few days to collect everything you find.

What's the Genetic Purity Program?

The Ministry of Order authorized the Genetic Purity Program a week ago.

The purpose of the program is to identify citizens who are prone to betray the motherland on a genetic level.

Proceed.

Hector Medina? Ministry of Information Acquisition.

There is a certain Johanne Bessler in your block. Gather information and profile him.

He applied to participate in the national inventions forum, to get a state subsidy.

You are to perform a background check, and estimate the loyalty index.

Will be done.

Hector Medina! There was an explosion in your house! Explain at once!

I didn't know this psycho will experiment in the apartment! Good thing I decided to not trust him with the State money!

You are to deal with the consequence!

Don't worry, I will fix everything and evict this madman.

However, you're fined for disorderly conduct.

Hello, Hector. Information according to your request No. 01272017

Name: Mary

Last name: Pickfold

Additional info: Reported missing in 1979. Investigation on hold, the "white-gloved body" case archived.

Supposedly, the first victim of the so-called White-gloved Murderer.

Case information reward is $3000 and 1000 reputation.

Ministry of Information Acquisition.

We are reviewing the applications for free invention grant.

Number of applicants: 3247. Johanne Bessler's paperwork is fine, but his personal file is questionable.

Did you investigate? What do you think of comrade Bessler?

Ministry of Information Acquisition.

Comrade Medina, we awarded the grant to comrade Bessler, according to your recommendation.

Comrade Bessler has created a monstrous machine threatening national security. And has also proved to be an unbalanced aggressive traitor.

He failed us. You are fined for negligence.

Hello, Hector. Here's the information relating to request 25051953.

The parents of child 589:

Father: Jacob Manishek

Mother: Louisa Manishek

Hello! Hector? It's Louisa! I'm at the hospital and am getting ready for the operation.

Hello, Louisa. Are you all right? You sound scared...

I am scared. I've heard that the operation is very complicated and there's only a small chance of success!

A famous surgeon, Alloizy Shpak, is here to give a lecture. If he performs the surgery, we'll survive.

But he won't work for free. I asked around... He charges $25,000 to perform surgery! It's an outrageous amount! Can you help me again? I have no one else to turn to. I promise to repay you as soon as I can.

Wow! That's no small sum, Louisa. I won't promise anything, but I'll see what I can do.

Thank you!

Hector! You haven't completed the assignment we gave to you. You are therefore fined, and we will determine the Manisheks' fate without your participation.

Hector, two of your tenants have not donated blood yet. We strongly encourage you to address this shortcoming as soon as possible.

You have 48 hours to deal with this matter.

Comrade Medina, please be informed that Louisa Manishek, tenant of 6 Krushvice St., died during her operation.

Her child will be moved to an orphanage. Have a good day.

Comrade Medina, I have an important errand for you.

You are to take Klaus Schimmer's absentee ballot. According to my data, he keeps it at home.

As soon as you have it, call me and report. Any questions?

Can I…

I have no time for that, Medina. We'll talk after you give me the document.
