Hiding from the Hand

Step 1 · Highridge Mines (Rock Layer) (6, 8)

You arrive in the dimly lit mine shaft, contrary to some of the other area\'s of Sigma. The shaft bustles with activity. You see huge numbers of Cyborgs milling around, drilling new mine shafts searching for Taulite Ore. As you enter a small open shaft you see a Mine Drill Cyborg bent over doing some adjustments to his robotic drilling arms.

None listed.

Completion

The Cyborg looks up, however you cannot really tell from his helmet whether he is looking at you or not. Just as you are about to leave him to his repairs, he starts to speak to you in a very sinister robotic voice, \'You are an outsider, however you do not bare the mark of the Chrome Hand. Perhaps you could help me, we have been in these mines for a great many years hiding from the Chrome Hand.

A number of the mine shafts and tunnels in this sector have been destroyed by others like me to prevent the Chrome Hand from attacking us and harvesting our body\'s for upgrades to theirs. With the lack of raw materials, repairs to our equipment are becoming more and more difficult.\'

After a long narrow winding tunnel you find yourself in what appears to be a large cavern, the Northern wall of the caverns has completely caved in, the scale of the collapsed tunnel makes you believe that whoever lives deeper in the cave has indeed done this on purpose to keep outsiders out. Your cyborg friend, revitalised with his new arm turns to you and says \'Behind this wall once lay a area of rock with Volcanic Deposits, the ore found down there can be used to create especially strong armor and weaponry.\' They must have dropped this shaft to cut themselves off from Sharona Rai\'s minions. If you can find me a gamma ray projector I should be able to examine the damage and locate a safe spot to create a passage way to the North path.\'

\'Very good, this will do perfectly.\' The cyborg plugs the Gamma Projector into his chest piece and starts to scan the collapsed area of the tunnel, without saying anything he approaches it at the west side, you hear the motors in both of his Drills whirring to life. You figure this will take a little time, so as you prepare to set up a small camp and wait.

You awake alone in the tunnel, a few hours must have past, yet there is still no sign of your cyborg friend. Maybe you should go investigate the Collapsed Tunnel.
