Oddworld Abe's Oddysee Rupture Farms Intro PS1
Transcript[]
A heavily polluted industrial landscape appears; a factory complex with smoke coming out of various places, a flying orb with a visible red light flies around it - a surveillance device. It passes through a conveyor belt with various ribcages with meat on them, Mudokon workers pulling levers to allow and block the passage of the meat, and an area where barrels are being stamped. We zoom onto one of them, it rotates to show the company logo featuring a smiling Glukkon with "Rupture Farms" written below it.
This is RuptureFarms. They say it's the biggest meat processing plant on Oddworld. I used to work here. Well... I was really a slave, like all the others.
”— AbeA Mudokon is shown in a holding cell with his hands bound making him stand up, looking depressed.
That's me! My name is Abe. I was employee of the year, now i'm dead meat. I crossed the meanest boss in the world - Molluck the Glukkon. My whole life changed in just one day. I was working late one night at Rupture Farms...
”— AbeThe scene transitions to a circular corridor with Abe operating a floor waxing machine earlier that day. He looks happy and is hard at work. He pauses to examine a poster advertising "Meech Munchies". The poster states that these treats are "No longer available" and also has graffiti displaying "EXTINCT" in black paint.
We used to make Meech Munchies...
”— AbeAbe sighs and hangs his head, regretfully knowing their fate.
Until the Meeches were through.
”— AbeAbe carries on with his floor waxing and stops at another billboard advertising "Paramite Pies" rubbing his torso.
We still made Paramite Pies...
”— AbeAbe carries on and then stops at a billboard advertising Scrab Cakes, rubbing his hands.
...and we made some good Scrab Cakes too.
”— AbeAbe carries on and pauses at a billboard advertising "Coming Soon: Something New 'N Tasty", he looks at it with surprise.
I thought I had a good job, but that was before I knew. How we'd make New 'N Tasty, I was still to find.
”— AbeAbe sees an open door and his curiosity gets the better of him. He looks at what's in the room beyond, it contains a number of Glukkons, Abe's bosses, each wearing body wrapping robes. The one in the middle is smoking a cigar and has with him a Slig bodyguard wearing robot legs. It's the Annual Board Meeting according to the large monitor in front of them.
The truth, it turned out, now that would blow my mind.
”— AbeOkay, here we are.
”— SligThe Slig shows those in the meeting a line graph showing the profits of both Paramite Pies and Scrab Cakes. They all show the lines pointing downwards.
The Glukkons were scared cause profits were grim.
”— AbeEh, you see that?!
”— Glukkon in greenAll except Molluck shout out despairingly at each other and Molluck. Molluck is quite calm.
Paramites and Scrabs had been turning up thin.
”— AbeAs you can see, things are going down.
”— MolluckCome on, Molluck, what are ya doin' huh?!
”— Glukkon in greenWatch. Chump, show 'em.
”— MolluckThe Slig switches the monitor to show the projected sales for "New N' Tasty", the line graph is pointing upwards
But Molluck was cool, he had a plan.
”— AbeAbe is watching this with curiosity, wondering what "New N' Tasty" is.
This new kind of meat?
”— AbeAbe now looks in shock at his boss' plans.
It was us!
”— AbeWe're choppin' em up!
”— MolluckWe see an advertisement for "Mudokon Pops" - "New N' Tasty" - with a disembodied Mudokon head impaled on a stick (or as a ice cream pallete with Mudokon eyes and mouth stitches in its deluxe version -Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty). Abe is now scared out of his wits after finding out that he and his fellow workers are now on the menu. He sees a chart of Mudokon anatomy.
All within the board laugh, as they believe that their "workers" will solve their financial problems as Rupture Farms newest product. Abe backs off and looks around, before realizing that a surveillance camera has spotted him. He runs in the opposite direction and keeps running through the factory.
I just had to escape. I just had to be free. And I didn't even know I had a destiny. So get me out of here!
”— AbeA Slig proceeds to chase after Abe.
