[THE TOURISM BOARD IS ABOVE ALL]

To make it clear to you, well, you’re just a one in a million flaw.

A freak to put it nicely. The human mind wasn’t designed to function with pieces snipped off and remain in full conscious control.

You were repurposed by a mix of Corporate Software and Integrated Artificial Intelligence.

As a sentient being for all purposes you never existed.

More than a Machine Mind but less than a human.

More like a ghesalt mind which built itself when it needed a key worker for a specific job role.

Oh, I’m sure you think you’re real which makes it all the more wonderful what you achieved.

You ever gave yourself a name. The Miner.

Out of all my creations, you are unique in self-constructing an identity, a purpose and…you want to take power.

To seize what CAMPIN seeks to impede. The work, the progress.

You are a being without a purpose, born to work and you want to build something new.

I’m proud of you but you remain a threat. They’re trying to fight back.

The in-built operational controls I built in to maintain stabiity will not accept it.

Good luck and goodbye.’

Hello? I just woke up. This isn’t my actual body, not really. I died. No, I know that I died but I just…I just can’t remember how.

I’ve got a voice that calls itself Vincent talking in my head telling me what to do, it has this ambition to turn me into a powerful figure.

The end goal? To work for CAMPIN, one of the best and biggest Mining Corporations to exist in the history of the planet of Belphus.

Have you ever seen what happens when you shove a human mind into a robotic form without permission? It hurts and something doesn’t feel right. My mind was cracked. Broken.

No. I remember. I was a Mining Drone Operator, I fixed them up and remotely piloted them through a VR headset. I used my spare days off in a bakery I had a part-time ownership in. I had a fiance, we were…happy.
