You know, I don’t want to alarm anybody, but Management is throwing around the idea of suspending operations until this Power Scales thing is resolved. The last thing we needed was loose SCALE suits on Hoxxes, what with the Rivals and Rockpox already running mad. If we can recover them, the alert will be over, so if any Miners want to lend a hand with that it’d be greatly appreciated.

ONE OF THOSE GAL 'DAMED BOTS JUST TOOK A BIG BITE OF ME!
One of us thought it might be a funny idea to dress a rival techie in a bug costume. AND THE BUGGER BITS MY ARM OFF!
Why in the world did you think that would be a good idea? It’s too early to be that drunk!

i have to admit boss, you should get a new comm id picture.
it looks like your wearing a mask from one of those..... special clubs the company executives say they dont go to
This picture is both authoritative and personable, alongside illustrating how dutiful I am at my job, thank you very much.

ok, we know the glyphids arent sentient, but what about the lootbugs
Nothing on Hoxxes is sentient except the Heartstones.

Hey, boss. Donnie's stuck in tbe walls again.
Chugged two steins of Wormhole Special back-to-back and now he's trapped behind the jukebox and can't get out. (seriously, what the hell are we putting in those brews?)
Tried convincing some folks from Management to let us use the Breach Cutter to get 'im out, but they brushed us off saying that "incidents occuring off-duty aren't covered by our insurance contract," and "misuse of company resources will result in an infraction and be taken directly out of our pay."
What do? He's been in there so long that Emile's considering what he's calling "strategic usage" of C4 to get him out, and I've been physically trying to keep him from blowing a hole in the Rig and pissing off Management even more than they already are.
Oh, dear. This is a conundrum. The use of explosives would likely harm your coworker more than help him, I must warn you. Have you considered using a MULE to try and bash the walls down?

So like, we use something with pheromones to tame our steeves, right? So, and hear me out, what if we use like a ton of that to tame dreadnoughts or even whatever they become when fully hatched? Whilst we're on the topic of what they become when hatched, what do we call them then? Leviathans?
It’s not financially viable. Bullets are cheaper than the highly complex pheromones in that quantity.

Hey Mission Control, this is miner R&S-11357, call sign Sov, from Space Rig 19. I just got back from a deep dive, connection with you was lost for a while there. I've got a troubling report to make. We might have another rival corporation moving in.
So, me and the crew were down in the caverns, and I got separated from my crew during a Bulk Detonator incident. Anywho, I swear on Karl's name and the honor of the fallen that a whole fire team of unidentified dwarves with strange robots popped out of a strange hole in space. I overheard them, and I think they called themselves Votann?
I don't know what they were carrying, but they pissed off a Glyphid Praetorian and one of them disintegrated it in one shot with some weird laser weapon. I wasn't keen on being the next moving target, so I stayed put until they left again. I think it messed up Molly, she popped into the hole they came through and when she was back she was covered in skulls and symbols that make my eyes hurt.
Anywho, I'm going to try and wash off the smell of vaporized Glyphid. If it turns out that these Votann are making a move on Hoxxes, tell R&D I've got some ideas. Rock and Stone!
I wouldn’t be too worried about that, according to Management. I don’t know much more than you do, but apparently those are special operatives on a designated mission.

Oh my god, you would not BELIEVE what type of fiendish infernal rival machinery i found on a Deep Dive!
Like, look at this shit!
Tumblr media
I've been talking to some o' the lads about it and they say i drank too much Glyphid Slammer and just saw a Nemesis! This is everything BUT a Nemesis! Now imagine how HORRIBLE it would be for the company if this was in every Industrial Sabotage, no, in every bloody mission!
I think you need to lay off the Red Sugar, Miner.

So theoretically if someone was to hack a patrol bot and it fallowed them back to the escape pod, would they be allowed to keep it or would it need to be sent somewhere to be destroyed, asking for a friend.
That Rival technology cannot be allowed onto the Space Rig. You can’t trust living metal.

Happy Holidays, Miners. Corporate would like to remind you that excessive drunkenness, explosive-related injuries, or barroom brawl aftereffects are not acceptable excuses to miss work. If these injuries were inflicted on company property or by company personnel, an inquiry will be completed in up to seven hundred days following the incident with the judiciary reaching a decision in any time following completion.
Please try not to harm company property or coworkers in your revelry. Do enjoy your celebrations, and be on the lookout for end-of-the-year bonuses! Due to budgetary concerns, bonuses this year will not take the form of credit deposits but rather redeemable vouchers for various company services.
Rock and Stone to another year of service! Please remember to renew your contracts by the end of the week under pain of eviction and severance.

Hey mission control guy! Do you think you are able to hire other short species like, oh I don’t know, sentient flora?
I don’t know, user shrubgaming. Is there any particular reason you ask?

I would know, wouldn’t I.
Hello, this is Goras from Management at Nature's Galactic Protection. We recently noticed that you are not only commiting mass genocide on Planet Hoxxes IV, but are also exploiting the planet for your own benifit. This is simply unacceptable and we hope that you change this. Also, on one of our expiditions on Hoxxes IV, we met one of your dwarf teams and they kept calling us "Leaf Lovers". Please notice that this behaviour is just plain rude, and unnecessary. Under further inspection, we noticed that they were also incredibly drunk whilst still wielding weapons. I am telling you this because at this point, you are just sending them to their death.
P.S: Please remove the leaf lover's special, or atleast rebrand it. We Elves do not drink beer like you Rock Dwellers and prefer a fine Wine.
Thank you. -Goras
I’m drunk and angry and now you’ve done it, elf. Firstly, the Glyphids are not sentient. They’re pests, like any other common fly, spider, or greater flesh-chewer. Calling pest removal genocide is intentionally strong language meant to polarize audiences, and I’m calling you on it.
Second, exploiting a regenerative mineral-rich planet for profit isn’t immoral, it’s just economy. You live here too, you know.
Also, we have an employee permanent mortality rate of under 5%. Death is a mere inconvenience here- hell, it’s a point of pride!
We’re out of your jurisdiction. Stay to your sanctuaries and let us work.

Oy, chief!
I’ve been roaming the radioactive zone for some time and there are these long cave tentacle things around... For a moment I nearly mistaken them for one of ‘em bloody cave leeches, but they seem pretty harmless. All they do is get close to ye and get its fuzzy end in your face. I couldn’t find any information on them in the manual-
Thought you might know about this weird.. plant? Creature..?
Aye, those feelers. They’re about the only sentient organism on Hoxxes that doesn’t despise us. Smaller ones, like the Fleas, they just can’t do anything about us. But those feelers seem to actually like us. They’re the only friends down there we’ve got.

That’s not an awful idea. I could also vent radon in.
Since we can't bring Steeve to the space rig, what about making one?
Making one what, exactly?

Over heard some chatter about booze and was wondering if you would like to be a sampler for some of the stranger and rarer stuff I can get my hands on. Get the view of a graybeard on some of this stuff to see if it’s fit for the dwarven market. Sailors and pirates aren’t really good for that as while they appreciate good stuff most don’t care so long as they can use it to treat water and get drunk
Sure, send it over. Let me know what I’ve got on the way and I’ll let you know what I think when it gets here.
