    1. Friend makes a company named say “Morgan defence ltd” and you sing an NDA with your friend not to talk about your 2 year beer holiday on the beach.

    2. Company checks our your story. Friend’s company looks like a typical defence industry shell company with no history of anything.

    3. Job

        Biologically and functionally speaking, he’s whatever and everything. Practically speaking, he chooses to have a dick and look like a big muscular man that looks nothing like his previous form (so its even more deliberate), so it seems the only thing that survived his ascention was his gender identity.

          In my headcanon, the further into the future you go the less attached to his humanesque form Dr Manhattan becomes, and eventually he just becomes a sentient force that does things that are beyond comprehension without needing a physical body at all.

          Breaking the agreement does not always mean you will get in trouble for it. This is the one rule that can be risked breaking without facing repercussions.

            Breaking it in any way means you will likely have to pay back any money they gave you immediately.

            Personally, I would consider that to be a repercussion.
