Haha! Report to medical Gunther, diamonds dust has affected your mind hahaha!
Said another miner laughing.
A man dressed in a dark olive-black suit walked into the bar, he looked too serious, almost arrogant. He stood a a few seconds looking around, then he walked towards Franz Maister.
Greetings Herr Maister; Herr Klaus, my name is Sigmund Bauer. I am the current chief assistant of West Rheinland HQ mining operations.
He greeted both men and took a seat, then he realized that none of them would know what the west HQ was.
The western HQ is actually an internal lingo we have to identify the departments that have a certain... "Autonomy" to operate. This way, information that does not concern the Core systems departments won't reach unwanted, over-reactive minds.
It was clear that Bauer seemed to know more than the average employee, but at the same time was nearly brain-washed to follow the corporation interests and not reveal any corporate secret.
Well, I was asked to give a small introduction about myself... There's not much to tell, I work as a surveyor, a much desired job within the corporation. Good money, short hours, and you are not restricted to this little piece of heaven known as Omega 11.
Basically, I am in charge of exploring the different clouds for new "pockets" or mining fields. That said, I have quite a good experience on mining as well, even planet-side operations. I was assigned to Holstein mining operations when I joined some years ago and well... That's pretty much it. I am not that good at telling my curriculum at people... Oh, well of course you will want to know what I am supposed to do here with your team... Well... I will supervise the operations, and make sure that your crew is not endangered.
Bauer stopped for a second and looked at his datapad
Some things you need to know... Nevermind that, I will tell you when we are on our way, don't want to kill the suspense. So while we wait for the base commander let's have some beer, I'm sure you will have questions regarding this little happy place... And of course, I want to know what experience you have on this archaeology thing as well.
Bauer made a gesture and a wheeled robot carrying beer of all kinds and brands moved quickly towards the table.
Some miners here are crazy... Like. -Literally- crazy
Said Bauer with a smile on his face, and took several bottles of "Rheinland's finest" dark beer.
