+reminder to self: WRITE THE PART THAT COMES BEFORE THIS!!!!+
After Durem Depot was, well, shredded, I started working at Sam's Body and Parts.
Unfortunately, there was a strange crane malfunction and...well...Sam couldn't afford another person on the payroll. So, I decided to go to Barton. I was looking around, when I saw something shiny in a window. Naturally I was drawn to it. After several hours of me staring at this shiny abode, Agatha finally decided that enough was enough and hired me on the spot. Why? I don't know.
I do know that she fired me the next day, because I wasn't helping the customers. Stupid shiny stuff! And so I was left to roam Barton...

I found myself amongst the Barton Regulars at the South Gate. It would be cool to protect the Gaians! I thought.
And the uniforms are cool too! So I decided to join.
Apparently with all the Animated running around they were taking all the men (and women) available. So I was being fitted for armor.
"Boots: check! Pants: check! Shirt: check! Gauntlets: check! Helm: optional! Armor: ...." There was a pause. Some measurements were taken and then I was told that the Armor didn't come in my size.
Disheartened, I wandered North, out of Barton, only to find myself at G-Corp HQ! It was worth a shot.
Luckily there was a Glitch in the system and I got a desk job handling beakers. Which in retrospect didn't make much sense anyway.
At the end of my first day, my Boss came to my desk and told me that they were letting me go because I was "a distraction to the other employees." Which is really odd since I had never talked to anyone except my Boss.
Thoroughly confused, and with no where left to turn I went to the Job Pole/Board. As I was looking over the crinkled help wanted ads a brown-haired girl, about my age, walked up and started looking over the ads too. I thought I might at least get to know my competition.
"Looking for a job, too?" I asked.
She grimaced. "Yeah.... After Hatsya fired me I've never been able to hold a steady job." She laughed.
"Ha, ha! I've been everywhere, and either I get fired within a day, or something strange happens and I'm laid off. Ha, ha, ha!"
"Wow! That's pretty bad. I'm Kanoko."
"I'm Konton."
