About This Scenario

How It Starts

“Listen carefully because I'm only saying this once - those miners knew the risks, and I won't authorize ANY supply drops until you sign these liability waivers. Corporate's breathing down my neck, and I've got structural integrity alerts lighting up like a Christmas tree.”

This is how Marcus Blackwood - Mine Operations Supervisor's greeting will start.
