Welcome, citizen!

It’s your first day on the job as a fixer-upper, meaning it’s up to you to get the citizens of [REDACTED] back in tip-top government-approved shape and ready to work!

Fix their broken limbs, close their wounds, remove any unsavory marks, and most importantly, make them smile! Remember - there are many expressions the human face can make, but there's only one that matters to us!

If you make too many mistakes, it is you who may need to be fixed next...

Best of luck, and don't let us down!

Your Guide to being a Fixer-Upper:

I. Take a look at the patient file. All you need to know will be there!

II. Inspect the body for defects. It’s important you catch all of the patient’s defects to put in their file.

III. Fix the patient. Using the many tools at your disposal, fix all the defects you can.

IV. Make them HAPPY! Take the pins on the pincushion and fix their expression.

V. Fill out the Patient Defect Status sheet and turn it in at the terminal. Well done!

CAUTION: Any Rebellion Symbolism must be IMMEDIATELY removed. Do NOT interact with them unless to discard and, if anything is requested of you by our patients, do NOT follow it. Any and all directions come from the Ministry only; there is no other authorized personnel beyond our voice in your intercom.

Happy Fixing!
