addedYOUR GREAT WORKUpon completing your transfer to Assembly Factory 4318, you will be assigned your new job. Every shift you must assemble six gear boxes. Every gear box has a start and end gear which you can see as the colored bronze gears above. By connecting the start and end gear, you complete a gear box. But such simple work alone would not befit someone of your abilities. Each gear box has numerous challenges such as red gear-halters that move around and stop you from being able to complete the box.
changedBOOSTING YOUR MOTIVATIONSome days you may not feel like completing your required amount of gear boxes. Perhaps a crew mate is getting you down and you feel that today only four gear boxes will suffice. Do not worry as that is where your factory's CES unit comes in (pictured above). Every CES unit comes fully equipped with a motivational coil. If you attempt to leave your shift early or do not complete the required amount of assemblies in your set shift time, the CES unit will provide you with a motivational zap that will render you into a sleep-like state. After experiencing this motivational measure, you will awaken rested and bursting with enthusiasm to complete your required assemblies.
changedWHY GEAR BOXESSo what are these gear boxes that you must assemble each day? The answer is that they are a part of a whole. In the great underground factory network of The Funnel, thousands of parts are created in thousands of different factories to fit together and create whatever is needed to keep humanity going. You would not expect yourself to be able to comprehend every single interaction between plants and animals in the surface world, and likewise you should not attempt to understand the great importance of every single factory in this grand network. Simply look to your crew mates, look to your assembly table, and continue your great work. Know that you are under the safety of the Funnel's guidance.
