Thank-you for coming!

As you know, it's been almost
impossible to hire decent
miners on mars since all the
strange activity started
happening around here. That's
why we're willing to pay you at
a premium for your services!
I've given you a basic mining
machine to get started with.
Unfortunately, you'll be on
your own from this point
onward, as the settlers who
were lucky to escape
with their lives have fled to
safety. However, all of the
shops here have been
computerized, so you'll still
be able to sell your minerals,
fuel up, upgrade your pod, and
buy special items.

Remember - your job is to
collect minerals and bring them
back to the surface for
processing. The deeper you
dig, the more valuable the
minerals you'll encounter.

I'll be in touch - Good Luck!
