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)

"Of course we are!" Insef reasons "Were radicals, and all radical are good people right?" "My name is Hal Paccer," Hal tells you holding out a hand "I'm the expert at making thing go bang here. Right now I'm working on voice activated explosives, but I'm famous in the bad circles for the 48-Guage mine."

I approach the man with caution. Holstering my gun for now. (This must sound paradoxical for the trigger-happy...)

"That was way better than the molotov ****tails and thermite canisters we used to make in my old neighborhood. You gotta teach me your ways, Hal, I am truly humbled, but when do we get to use this stuff."

The man half turns toward you as you approach and he says with a flawless English accent "Hello old bean." He has the asian gene certainly, as well as one grey blind-looking eye.

"That remains in question. So far Alazannder has only ordered us to do prison riots, and steal supplies. We haven't been on the offensive yet. Anyway, to make Gauge mine you need to tape four shotgun-shells together in a square, and make a similarly sizes plate of metal with four firing pins attached to it, then attach the shells to it with a tight sliding piston. Next you step on it, and force the shells onto the pins...Then you spend a good five months in hospital." Insef frowns "Hal that was a long monologue." Hall smiles "Shut up."

"Okay," Alazannder sighs "Lets get Chikako down here so we can do a proper ceremony for making you and Sissy members." He goes upstairs and hal follows him "Hey," Insef ask turning to you "Got any matches?"

"Sorry man, just this tazer," I say brandishing the stolen stun-gun, "What's this about a ceremony? I ain't dressing up. That's for sure."

Insef thinks about this. "Um, for my ceremony they all went out and, I quoting here, 'bought me the cheapest gift they could find'. I ended up with a tooth-brush, a bag of almonds, and for some reason a flea-market top-hat. After that Alazzander just does a speech about what's wrong with the current ruling."
You follow Insef up stairs upstairs and Alazzander and the others excluding Sissy charge at you, swarming you in the way you would expect white-blood cells to attack a virus. "We are going to buy cheap gifts" Alazannder drones monotonously "Gifts!" The others chant. Except Chikako who quietly chants "Blood!"

"This is strange, but it'll be interesting to see what they got me." I think to myself as the cultists do their thing.

After about 15 minutes they return. Alazzander hands you a small packet of puffed corn that has been spliced with puffed wheat. Penny gives you a glossy brochure on going to Canada. Hal gives you a scary tube of liquorice flavoured tooth-paste, Insef gives you a box of matches, and Chikako gives you a medical-bag of B+ Blood. "Don't worry," Hal says to you in a hushed tone "She always does that."
After Sissy is given her gifts, a pineapple, a pineapple, a pineapple, a pineapple, (Due to an embarrassing miscommunication) and another bag of blood, Alazannder starts his speach.
"We, fellow humans and other...thing, fight for power in this country, for all the innocents sitting in prison sells, for all the blunders by the government. We take up arms to protect the people from the misguided arm off the law. We rebel for all the times my name came up with little red dots underneath it when I typed it into a computer, all the times it offered to 'correct' it to Salamander, We are doing this, for the Country"
