Story:
A capitalist dystopia utopia where you commute by the CDTA Metro to the CDTA office. You drink a CDTA Liquid Lunch at your desk. After work, you go home to your CDTA employee dorm and doomscroll videos starring CDTA Entertainment's celebrities. It's not all bad: you might win big, then you could pay off your debts and get an A-class social rank! You start by buying and selling common-class Mermaid meat, but then your manager, Lena, tells you that one of the 11 candidates for the prestigious 'First Hetaera' role is a Mermaid. Investigate the story of each character, then decide which one will be caught and eaten.
