The caves shook mightily as the miners erupted in gunfire. Stalactites fell all around them, piercing bugs and lodging into the cold stone as pillars. Through drilled tunnels, across ziplines and immense gaps, the teams slayed their path to the drop pod, its headlights welcoming them with a hot...
"Team eight, Control - copy. Drop sequence initiating!" Frank hastily calibrated the drop pod to the last known location of team nine.
A titanium grating latches the the drop pod shut, and the hatch seals in the rescue team with a distinctive hiss of pressurization. The reactor spools to life...
"Received, surface nine. Control out." Frank clacked his fingernails against the desk, surveying the half-dozen screens before him displaying a myriad of information, from the team's dive depth to their vital signs, and everything in-between.
His prosthetic eyes glazed over the monitors, then...

Alright everyone, a new lore drop on the space rig just went out. Any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.
I think I'm going to close out CSes now, not including one spot that is still reserved for a friend, and we'll get started soon! Glad to have you all aboard.
Happy trails!
THE SPACE RIG - YOUR NEW HOME!
VALUED EMPLOYEE,
Receiving this newsletter means you have just been assigned to one of our state-of-the-art Deep Rock Galactic space rigs.
This means that YOU are now on the forefront of the single most lucrative business in the whole galaxy! Come, take a look...
Hey, so, while I really like that you're running with the DRG thing, I'm gonna have to be bad-cop for a second.
Your guy can't be an alcoholic for two reasons:
1, If he was, he would be fired immediately. He wouldn't even be hired. DRG have a little more freedom than the other subdivisions, but...
Yes, life expectancy has been increased significantly. The wealthy are frequently living to their 110s with modern medicine.
Again, because spares are constantly being updated with new information, they cannot reverse aging - at least not without it effectively being a new person. Sure, they...
That's really good, given lore I was going to provide about Everwork. I guess I can do it now.
Because spares are based off of constantly updated genetic information, if you, say, get a disease or something of the sort, that will then be perpetually built into your spares until cured. So it's...
Yeah, I mean, it was a bit intentional leaving Earth out of the discussion to show just how irrelevant the homeworld is to this corporation that spans the entire galaxy.
The gist of it is: Global warming catastrophe. Water wars, gasoline shortages, mass human foot migrations, tentative...

I really like that there's someone who's inherited debt and therefore is at the lowest rung on the ladder as a compulsory-volunteer test subject. Good stuff.
@Nomai
Hey, your CS looks good, but what's this "militia raid" in the bio? What militia and who are they raiding? The only inhabitants of the planet this particular unit operates on are DRG employees and aliens.
Also, is it saying she worked on Earth for DRG or was the biohazard cleanup...
