In the year 2034... Mining can be dangerous, being crushed, suffocated, or trapped and starved to death are only the usual risks. You could also be redirected into the sewer and drowned, shot by other rogue miners, or eaten alive by monsters from the depths. But they pay is good, the right merchants will pay handsomely for minerals or metals, and the wrong merchants will pay the gear you steal from other miners. To start your life as a miner fill out the character sheets below.
Also spend you starter money for gear at Godmund's Shop. (Note: Weapons will stay in your items list and not under arms until you choose to equipped them)

In the draw you find a small tub of alcoholic fermented yoghurt. This could be used as a food or a weapon. You can hear people chatting in Mongolian outside.

As you leave the building you find yourself standing next to the high-way. "Okay..." Alazannder mutters blinking rapidly in the light. "The HQ should be just down this street, assuming Insef didn't burn it down." He starts stumbling down the street.

I try to catch up with Alazzander, "What'd they do to you back there man? You don't seem so good."

"It was awful,my friend." He says wide eyed "They left me in a small, very dark room, and I have a hunch they played Russian opera music, just loud enough for me to hear, but too quietly for me to confirm I wasn't imagining it."
Penny takes the lead and you soon find yourself in front of an old fashioned candy shop. A few letters are faded from the sign (Roselsans Candy Emporium) and now proclaims Rose s Candy r um. There is a flight of stairs leading down to a wooden door.

"That's some clockwork orange stuff right there. Is this the place? Please tell me it's not."

I pocket the yogurt and go out the revolving door.

"It is, and more!" Alazzander happily running down the stairs two at a time "Welcome to Rose's Candy Rum. The perfect place to buy yourself a liquorice liquor, a berried brandy, or plan your assent to power!"
Penny opens the door and enters, followed by Sissy who enters and sweeps her new gun around the room dramatically. You enter into the shop, a cosy old fashioned affair, with a wooden counter and what look like actual caskets full of candy. A bored looking Asian girl is sitting behind the counter.

The city-scape outside could pass as America, were it not for the stone-cobbled road, and bright green and abundant grass. There are several buildings in reach, some look like flats, others typical Oriental houses.

"Uh.. It's very... quaint, but this is just a front. Right?" I ask, "Where are all the freedom fighters, the homemade explosives, the treason and flag-burning? Do you guys just sit around getting drunk off candy all day?"

Alazannder seems personally offended by the accusation "Of course, there is a secret passage. We keep it under the barrel of chewable bottle caps over there." He walks over and lifts the casket, revealing a small trapdoor underneath. The counter girl ignores this and focuses on glaring vehemently into space.
The trapdoor leads into a official looking locker room with tiles on the floor. There are however only five locker that aren't broken. They are labeled; Alazannder, Penny, Insef, Hal and Chikako. There is a door leading out into three paths.

I climb down and look around. "This is more like it, but who are Hal, Insef, and Chikako?" I ask

"Hal is our tech-head, he joined up after his water filter store was raided by SWAT and illegalized. Chikako is Japanese half Chinese, and I'm suspicious that if do manage to take over, she'll be trying to turn the US communist. But she's a crack shot so we need her. Also I'm pretty sure her name means 'friendly person'. Insef is from Redcroft and he just signed up so he could burn things."
He leads down one of the passage ways. Inside there are two people hiding behind a reinforced glass screen. On the other side of the glass is a small bomb on the floor, a digital face reading; Armed .

I walk up to the glass and get a closer look, "Huh? Is this usually here?"

There is a man with almond eyes and darkish skin but you can't be sure if he's local or just a blunder by the FID, as he looks fairly disorientated.

Hal looks at you. He seems to be going for the typical-anime-engineer look and has a pair of goggles on his forehead. "If you mean the glass, yes. If mean the gelatin-bomb, no." He greets Alazzander and Penny before saying "Alright everybody take cover." He clears his throat before loudly and clearly saying "Your coffee sir." At this the explosive detonates, a bight flash filling the room, followed by a sound like a blunderbuss.
