Worker's Plight

Far in the southwest corner of our relatively peaceful moon lies a duranium mine. Years ago colonists worked the mines, the town building up around it into what you see today. When robotic workers became a more economically profitable decision, they company laid off all of the workers, abandoning them. When the mines no longer produced rapidly enough to maintain their profit margin, The Weyland Yutani Corporation abandoned the duranium mine for more profitable lands. In doing so they have once again abandoned their workers.

Dozens of replicants still remain in the mines, living day to day with malfunctions that lock them into repetitive tasks. The initial reaction by many is that they are only machines, why worry about it. There is plenty of reason.

Replicant Workers at the Mines

One of our own valued residents, Krenshar Magic, is himself one of the replicants from the mine. He was fortunate to be spared the indignation of the malfunctions the others in the mine have suffered. He has told us that many of the replicants that are still trapped at the mines have become sentient like himself.

Krenshar would like to see the replicants repaired, so they may have the choice as to whether they continue at the mines or seek to learn the world as he has. They require both replacement parts and skilled mechanics willing to lend a hand.

And So I am calling on you, Citizens of Hale's Moon. Krenshar has many times stood up to help defend our home. I feel its time we returned the favor and did what we can to get the replicants functioning once again.
