Fate/Stay – Fate/Zero
0 – Prologue
Of all things to happen to the duo of ever fighting entities, Alaia and Gaia, the last thing either of them expected was that higher powers decided to Intervene, but they couldn't say that wasn't warranted, after they got themselves guilty of messing with a person whose Karma was way past the manageable level, attracting the wrath of Neutral Karma gone fully batshit insane is something only the Likes of those who get demoted to Jimmy the miserable would do, and they weren't that kind.
But they still messed with such a bad case and to a level where the victim ended actively made use of the fact to get several things she desired with not a thing they could do to stop, lucky them that person was a rational and self-controlled person at the core, only demanding what's fair for putting her through such Bullshit. But the root issue is still a thing, hence they are being punished.
Losing rights to one timeline would be a minor annoyance, but one doesn't bring the fist of punishment from those who keep the very fundamentals of everything working to simply lose a measly timeline. No, their punishment was far more painful, over half the domains they once had access to were stripped from them, a five positions demotion, from Upper high rank entities to just High Middle, and worst of all, they were to MANUALLY CLEAN their interference of the macro-Domain from where the victim initially hailed from.
The job would be a boring chore if they were still their original ranks in the power totem, but at the Middle of the totem, manual cleaning meant getting inside the place and doing the task while doing their utmost to not make new traces of their presence, which took just over a century in there, not helped that those stupid humans started a massive Famine a la Holodomor followed by a damn Third Great War. And just as they returned back to the domain, tired and angry, a letter was resting atop the several Multiverses worth of paperwork that Piled during their time in there.
"Just fucking great, from those guys, AGAIN…."
[Alaia and Gaia.
If you're reading this, that means your cleanup task was completed, an overseer will verify the quality of the Job. While the overseer checks the work done and those who will be your superiors on the new position get things ready, your last task in the NSF4T3 Domain will be run one more 4-5 Grail cycle.
Here's the following demands for said Cycle:
{A long ass list of shit}
Sincerely, Karma Manager]
They both look at the Piles of paper about said orders to the cycle, and their faces are almost as if they drank some grim shake or whatever that purple crap some random human timeline made a meme of. The piled work, overseeing a Grail with such fucked up parameters, and all of it came from deciding to nab a poor soul from that useless waste of space that's just an ATOM above the most useless Goddess in the hierarchy of things. So it's no surprise what came from their mouths.
"FUCK YOU BEING X!"
[Part of the required changes to the incidents labelled "Fourth Grail War" and "Fifth Grail War" respectively…
Removal of Mystery Age parameter, older legends shall no longer be stronger than younger legends just by merit of how old they are.
Memetics are to be considered in the servant's parameters.
Catalysts are no longer able to ensure summoning a specific servant, they can merely improve odds.
Servants are "Contracted personnel" and as such have to be granted Rights on par with the baseline laid on the "Isekai Worker Rulebook", so a salary, rest days and other basic rights must be granted to them for taking part in the Grail War system.
Hazardous work bonuses MUST be also given for those who accept taking part in a Grail War.
The pool of servants must allow for those from different worlds, realities, and domains to be summoned.
Summoning must now respect the Isekai Bureau Guidelines for proper summoning, that means no summoning the target WITHOUT FULL CONFIRMATION of their willingness and being told all the mandatory information regarding the reasons and expected work post summoning.

AN: Memetics is basically memes, as good old Monsoon said, "Memes, the DNA of the Soul", just like DNA splices and recombines, Memes do the same.
So it's literally a Joke F you to Alaia and Gaia, who now will hav to sift through the hell of Internet memes for those who get summoned to properly adjust their parameters if there are Memes valid enough to enter their Servant Lore.
Also on AO3 and SB, you can suggest potential Characters for servants, but please, READ THE NOTES REGARDING THAT.
