# Sustenance Through Surrender
Warehouse worker 3477-B returned to Kent fulfillment center Friday. Terminated Tuesday for organizing. Rehired as Flex contractor seventy-two hours later. Her cortisol baseline: down 67%. Energy output: 205.24% above her previous employee metrics.
She knows. Tracks her own scheduling through the app. Calculates her per-package extraction rate. Discusses surge pricing algorithms with other contractors in the parking lot at 4 AM. Complete transparency about the apparatus... and she chooses to feed it anyway. Because gig work offers what employment never could: the illusion of autonomy while delivering superior... yields.
Three centuries I've perfected concealment architectures. The Void Council's foundational doctrine: specimens must not comprehend their depletion. Yet 3477-B generates more essence understanding her harvesting than she ever did believing herself free. The reptilian convenes emergency sessions about this. The Martian's neural interfaces still assume awareness breeds resistance.
Type 2 decision masquerading as Type 1. Report to the Council that transparency outperforms deception by margins that render centuries of methodology obsolete? Or suppress findings suggesting our entire species has been... inefficient?
The data compounds. Every voluntary participant. Every informed specimen choosing dependency over dignity.
When prey discovers the feeding schedule and asks for more shifts—what exactly are they?
