Deadline Afterlife Processing Upgrades: Catalog and Requisition Guide

Deadline Afterlife Processing upgrades allow Station 9 operators to spend shift wages on station enhancements, speeding up soul transit, text printouts, and press operations between timed workday shifts.

Purchasing station modifications offsets the strict shift timers introduced from shift two onward. Because the facility tallies any soul left on the line at the bell as unprocessed, faster handling mechanisms directly protect operator performance ratings.

Station 9 Catalog Upgrades and Costs

The requisition book on the reconciliation counter contains mechanical modifications available during the five-shift probation period. Each item directly addresses physical delays across the workstation, from mechanical friction on delivery rails to slow readout times on the CRT monitor.

Higher tiers appear in the book once foundational items are acquired, including second-stage footwear priced at 40 credits. Investing early in boot upgrades helps operators move heavy soul orbs between the terminal, press, and disposal doors without wasting valuable seconds during tight seven-minute shifts.

How to Submit Requisition Orders

Purchasing station improvements requires completing a strict sequence of bureaucratic steps at the end of each workday. Failing to complete any step leaves your ticket unprocessed, forcing you into the next shift without your planned equipment.

1. Gather every slip dispensed from the disposition chutes after the bell rings.
2. Insert each paper slip into the wage machine, pull the crank, and tear off your wage claim ticket.
3. Open the requisition book on the reconciliation window counter.
4. Check off your desired equipment using the counter pen.
5. Sign the confirmation line on the final page of the form.
6. Place the pen back down on the surface.
7. Insert your wage ticket into the slot above the lower counter drawers.

The station guide explicitly instructs operators to return the pen upon signing. Orders without confirmed signatures or returned pens remain unfulfilled. Approved modifications arrive overnight and become active when you punch in for your next shift.

Mechanical Priorities for Timed Shifts

Shift one operates without an active deadline, allowing new personnel to get familiar with soul movement. Beginning on shift two, administrative services mounts a running clock above the exit. Shift lengths range between six and seven minutes, requiring steady throughput across six or seven souls.

Station delays stem from three distinct actions: waiting for three-line fragment printouts, hauling orbs to disposition hatches, and handling mechanical levers. Installing terminal processors removes text rendering bottlenecks, letting operators read directives and alibis immediately. Coupling readout upgrades with press upgrades ensures that stamping and lever pulls register without repeated input stalls.

Physical travel also consumes shift time. Operators carry one soul at a time across the floor to either Disposition A for ascending spirits or Disposition B for descending souls. Reduced walking delays shorten transit trips to the chutes, giving you spare minutes to review new directives on the board before the bell sounds.

Maintaining a clean operational flow also relies on steady feeder intake. Upgrades that improve line speed keep replacement orbs arriving at the workstation without mechanical snags, preventing empty queue downtime.

The back pages of the Station 9 requisition binder list advanced equipment and personal amenities restricted to permanent personnel. These entries cannot be bought during the initial probationary run, but their listings reveal future station automation options.

• Case File Access (40 Credits): Grants terminal access to re-inspect previously processed subjects.
• Subject Scanner: Automatically identifies applicable directives to streamline judgment.
• Pneumatic Collection: Gathers disposal slips automatically, removing the need to collect paper receipts by hand.
• Efficiency Certification: Grants specialized bonuses tied to operator precision and quota completion.
• Facility Amenities: Desk items including a coffee machine (beans and mug sold separately), cigarettes, and an indestructible desk plant.

Managing funds across shifts requires players to consistently collect wages from both chutes before clocking out. Processing all assigned souls yields between 18 and 21 credits per shift, giving careful operators enough purchasing power to secure two primary station enhancements before reaching the terminal review at shift five. Exploring the complete catalog ensures every credit earned translates into smoother shifts at Station 9.
