Authors Notes: I'm going to try to make this fanfic as in-depth as I possibly can, capturing Nathan, Marni, and Rotti's emotions and relationships in the best ways I know how. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. I would like to send out a special thank you to the Official Repo Thread on Gaia Online for being so amazing and encouraging. Without you guys, this fanfiction wouldn't be nearly as good as it is. Thank you so much for your support, and thank you for dealing with me and my issues. I love you guys so much!
The charcoal-colored clouds hung low in the sky as Rotti Largo stared out the window of the top floor of GeneCo Tower. The bags beneath his eyes became forever engraved onto his face, a scar of the sleepless nights he'd endured to create his flawless Organ Financing Company that now ruled the slowly-dying planet. He sighed heavily as he stared out the large glass window at the world below, dirty and polluted with the dead. Dead bodies lay in nearly every open space, spread across the city to the far end of the Bridge. How did the world come to this? Rotti constantly asks himself. But why should he care? He's making a profit off the idiotic people who buy into his scam. He was the reason why those little ant-like creatures were alive. You must make sacrifices in order to save lives. Ha! What nonsense, Rotti would tell himself. These people were only good for one thing in Rotti's eyes—money. But there has to be something he can do other than call these simple-minded fools to remind them to pay. There must be something…
"Rotti, what's wrong?" A beautiful woman in her late twenties gazed at Rotti with her pale blue eyes, her curly dark hair framing her perfectly pale face. "You seem so tense lately."
"Oh, Marni, it's you." Rotti sighed, rubbing his temples. That wasn't the first time she had snuck up on him while he was deep in thought. "I'm just worrying about the company. Half of the people down there are over their 90-day payment plan. If GeneCo continues like this, we'll fall apart for sure."
Marni sighed and put a thin hand on Rotti's back. "Stop worrying so much. I'm sure you'll think of something."
There must be something… Rotti thought again, glaring bitterly at the happy people down below in Sanitarium Square. Something to save the company…
Suddenly, Marni gasped, causing Rotti to jump out of surprise. "What if you could find a way to repossess their organs? I mean, it's legal to repossess houses and cars, right? Why not their organs, too?"
Rotti's face was blank as he thought. What a beautiful idea! Repossessing organs…we'd never have to buy new ones! Rotti kissed Marni's cheek with intense excitement. "Oh, Marni, you're a GENIUS!" He yelled.
"I wouldn't go that far," Marni chuckled. "It makes sense, though, right? You just need to find a way to make it legal."
Rotti took Marni's words into account for a moment. "I would have to pass a law through Congress…there's no way they'd allow legal assassination."
"But they already do," Marni raised her voice, perhaps out of anger or grief. "Look at the legal system. They put people to death all the time. It's morally incorrect, but it's justice. It's also justice to take things back when they are not paid for, am I wrong?"
Rotti grinned. "You drive a hard argument, Marni. Maybe you should be my attorney."
Marni laughed and slapped his back with her hand. "Don't count on it."
Suddenly, Rotti's phone began to ring. He walked to his dark brown desk and picked the phone up. "Yes? …oh, really? …alright. Yes, that's fine. Send him in." Rotti hung up his phone and sighed. He put his large hands on Marni's perfect face and sighed happily. "I have a job interview to do, love," he cooed.
"Oh, really? Who is it, do you know?" Marni asked eagerly.
"Mrs. Banks said his name was Nathan. Nathan Wallace." Rotti responded, lost in thought. "He's looking to be GeneCo's new Doctor. This will be interesting."
End Notes: I'm sorry that this wound up being such a short first chapter. I promise to make the next one longer. You people are in for a bunch of twists and turns in this fic, so keep reading!
