Deadline Afterlife Processing Catalog: Upgrades and Store Guide
The Deadline Afterlife Processing catalog operates through the Station 9 requisition form, allowing operators to exchange shift wage tickets for speed equipment and workstation upgrades. Every order requires a signed form submitted at the reconciliation window before clocking out.

The Deadline Afterlife Processing catalog operates through the Station 9 requisition form, allowing operators to exchange shift wage tickets for speed equipment and workstation upgrades. Every order requires a signed form submitted at the reconciliation window before clocking out.
Purchases made through the catalog arrive directly at the workstation by the start of the following shift, reducing physical effort and shortening processing intervals across the station.
How Requisitions Work at the Reconciliation Window
Purchasing items requires cash credited from shift performance. After finishing a shift, operators collect wages by feeding paper receipts into the tally machine one at a time. Pulling the tally lever rolls a numerical score and prints a wage ticket. This ticket acts as a claim voucher rather than paper currency and must be posted into the slot directly above the reconciliation window drawers.
The requisition order catalog sits on the counter beside the window. To place an order, pick up the desk pen, mark the box beside the desired equipment, sign the confirmation line on the final sheet, and place the pen back in its stand. Facility rules state that unsigned forms or failure to replace the pen causes orders to be rejected. Purchased upgrades are installed overnight and become active when punching in for the next shift.
Available Workstation Equipment and Station Upgrades
During the probationary contract, the requisition form provides mechanical enhancements targeting distinct bottlenecks at Station 9. Handling physical souls, moving between hatches, and waiting for text readouts on the terminal consume shift time.
Equipment that modifies line speed includes Rail Grease and feed lever modifications, ensuring souls slide down the conveyor without delay. Mechanical adjustments to the press include press upgrades that decrease physical resistance on the lever, while footwear modifications listed as boot upgrades reduce travel time across Station 9.
| Equipment Item | Operational Benefit | Shift Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Rail Grease | Frees sticky conveyor rails so souls roll down the line sooner | 15 credits |
| Terminal Processor Upgrade | Accelerates amber text display on the soul record screen | 15 credits |
| Verdict Lever Light Action | Smooths the die mechanism so soul stamping completes faster | 20 credits |
| Commit Lever Counterweight | Adds weight to the main lever arm to ease shoulder pull | 20 credits |
| Feed Lever Lighter Pull | Decreases resistance when pulling to spawn the next soul | 18 credits |
| Boots Tier 1 | Increases operator movement speed between station machines | 40 credits |
Tiered purchases require completing prerequisites. Boots Tier 2 appears in the requisition catalog only after Tier 1 has been bought and installed. Operators earn three credits per processed soul under baseline facility rates, making higher-cost items require multiple shifts of consistent output.
Requisition Protocol and Submission Rules
The catalog operates under administrative policies printed across station manuals and order forms:
- Insert every disposition slip into the wage machine and pull the handle to generate a verified wage ticket.
- Deposit the wage ticket into the slot above the reconciliation window to fund the facility store balance.
- Turn to the catalog requisition form, check the desired equipment boxes using the desk pen, and navigate to the final page.
- Sign the authorization line confirming the order and return the pen to its original holder.
- Pull the punch clock lever to end the shift and leave the work area through the main exit.
Neglecting the signature line prevents the transaction from completing, leaving credits untouched and the workstation unchanged. The audit department logs station activity overnight, while approved equipment arrives assembled at the line before the next time recorder punch.
Full Employment Catalog Equipment
Beyond early workstation tuning, the requisition book displays locked sections reserved for operators who finish probation. Late-stage equipment points toward automation, such as pneumatic tubes that collect slips hands-free and scanners that identify applicable directives directly on the monitor.
The catalog also lists station amenities once full employment begins. These items include a personal coffee machine with separate bean purchases, cigarettes that carry no physical harm for deceased staff, an immortal office plant, and expanded case file permissions for reviewing past subject rulings on the terminal. All locked entries display their requirements in the catalog margins until the facility issues a permanent contract.
