They seem a bit hesitant to do something as grand and all-encompassing as 'make sure no other SHIFTers end up turning into an anomaly'. A lot of them clearly just want to mess around with YOUR samples to see how you tick.
The fat stacks of cash you're willing to offer them is more than enough to strip any reservations they might have. After everything is said and done, you'd guess you have a total of $100,000 left in your personal balance.
Not enough to meaningfully invest into anything grand and it's only a year's worth of money to live on at best. You might as well save it for personal expenses and such.
The investors, reps and other corporate goons all leave your allies be after the flow of money and opportunity dries up. It's just you and your 20~ allies. Hm.
You tell your allies you want to go somewhere quiet after everything that happened. Somewhere far away from all of the hustle and bustle of City life.
Vincent speaks up for the first time in what feels like ages, "Why not O-Corp? I heard a lot of people take vacations to some rural towns down there to just...decompress."
It's quickly agreed upon that's where you're going to head to.

It's in the dead of night when you finally arrive at the edge of the O-Corp owned town "Olataw". You're in a deep, DEEP dark forest with no signs of civilization aside from the woodlog cabin right in front of you. The half dozen cars your group have to drive in from all go cold now that you're at your destination.
The only other thing besides the cabin you see is an old dirt path leading to, if the brochure was correct, a large field. Just like what you wanted.
You take a deep breath of the fresh country air. It's weird being out here. You're so used to metal and ash being what the world was built out of. You doubt you'll ever be comfortable living outside of that.
But.
You suppose it's only fair that a deer returns to the forest, no?
Huh. You notice something as you watch the others heading into the cabin. You don't hear any voices in your head. No UNSTABLE, no SEEKER, nothing. Pure and blissful silence.
Did they get purged when you became an anomaly? Did you manage to become a well adjusted person? Heh. Hehehe. Yeah, wow, you wish you could've gotten that ANY other point in this story.
You head down the old dirt path. There's nothing but the company of trees on this lonely trail. Good. Keeps your head clear. Better for your mind.
At the end of the trail is what you expected. A large, rolling field that has nothing but short grass. The treeline clears just enough for you to see up into the night sky. You find a nice comfortable patch of grass to lay on. Your eyes gaze up into the starry sky.
Dozens, no, hundreds of stars glimmer above. If you squint you might be able to see the Y-Corp space station that's up there but besides that? Dark, navy blue sky. Shimmering white stars. No light pollution. No smog. Just nature and the infinite comsos.
