250,000 by the end of today. It'll be enough to ascend. They probably don't even have collectors at the upper floors.

"33". That's the highest I've ever seen it go on my collector. Could mine even fit a number that big?

    The others have definitely seen the notification by now. 2 hours into the workday and not a single mention of the bounty. I know it's taboo to talk about collector scores but man am I curious.

They all look so...satisfied. Like I'm the only one still stuck at 33? Surely, it's not just me.

"Generate data". The floor mediator has drilled that into us from day one. Every time we talk, the collector listens, analyses and rewards. All bits and pieces of data for the mainframe to absorb. As if it doesn't know everything already.

Yet, 33. That's what I need to beat. I need to know their collector scores. I need to ascend.

Focus! Who's likely to have a high score on this floor? More importantly, who can I fool? Someone who won't get me in trouble with the mediator...Bartholomew.
