This is before the Cleanup, and after the Panic.

That's right. It's a series. I refuse to announce when the next part is coming out, or to put them in order. You also don't get to know how many of these there are.
I've done nothing wrong. I need to establish this point at the beginning.
When we started this all, there was no recourse for any of my actions, nor of the actions of the team I worked with. The project was entirely exparimental, and although many of our actions seemed unrelated, we always kept the final goal in mind.
This lack of limitation afforded the greatest advances in the project, or anything of it's kind. We set up a self generating cycle for decline, which so far has taken the expectency from permanent, to under a billion years. Each time the cycle repeats itself, the expected timespan is cut again, and we remain all the better for it. As long as we remain there to maintain and improve upon the social downfall of these creatures, the cycle will continue. The problem of leaving it alone for too long is, they will eventually correct and repair, thus undoing all the work we've done here.
The problem started when we were interrupted by those outside the project. They were entirely unrelated to the project, and should not have had clearance to come near enough to affect it.
Upon their arrival, they made the demands that we meet certain minimums, that deadlines be created and met, to produce several unrelated side goals, and to increase the rate of their decline. All of these could have been reasonable, but these demands were not made by people who understand the field or it's sensitive nature, so they could have not have possibly understood that it doesn't work the way they think it does.
If this continues, the project will fail. It's already dying, as these people have been in power for too long, and have forgotten what it means to work on something, and the ends are suddenly vastly more important than the means ever were. We were the team of experts, and they were only supposed to benefit from the end results. In their attempts to make things better for the sake of their own greed, they have corrupted this project.
This isn't something we get a second chance at. It's either we correct this now, or we hurt the investment later. We could not possibly have met those standards.
In turn for what they called non-compliance, they removed the newest member of the team from working on the project, and have brought me to trial.
At what point does this tragic satire become comical?

I hear that someone motherfucked Shlongy for his comment on that brutal guitar lesson that you were attempting to give on YouTube.
AWESOME.

Honestly man, I think your writing is good. However "That's right. It's a series. I refuse to announce when the next part is coming out, or to put them in order. You also don't get to know how many of these there are." is retarded. I mean do you intentionally want to make your uber reader uninterested?
I'll probably check back in a few weeks to see if you are done, and see if I can figure out the order of these, and then read them all.
That is all.

I just assumed that it's to let people know that it's part of the series itself. I'll often write in this same style, and I wanted to avoid confusion.
The reason I don't number them is I havn't figured out how many there will be, and I make up the order on the spot.
Next time, I'll try it a little differently.

I can't give a bad rating to someone trying to write but man.....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, was there anything you didn't like about this? Something you think I can improve on?
If I did something wrong, I'd like to know. After all, I'll keep making the same mistakes if nobody points it out.

"It's most likely that it's depressing, because you're confused by it."
Well said, my Son. Now, go forth and introduce thine boot unto the anus of yon haters.

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Is EVERYTHING you write both confusing and depressing?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
See, the part where you fucked up is when you said "confusing"
Now I get to point out that if you were smarter, you wouldn't be so confused. See, I'm an elitist in every sense of the term, and I can only blame you for not understanding what's going on.
It's most likely that it's depressing, because you're confused by it.
