Omni-Mining’s Official Explanation of Presence in Borealis
Greetings Citizens of Rubi-Ka,
In light of recent events in Borealis and objections to these events by certain locals, we have agreed to release a public statement of reasons for our presence in Borealis. This document will explain the event that triggered our presence and the reason for increased security.
But first I must explain about the complex itself. On the contrary to popular belief, the Borealis Mining Complex is not fully abandon. But the public is half correct in this case. The mine is abandon in the sense of mining notum. It is indeed true that this complex has stopped mining notum for some time now. This was done for fear of damage to the city itself long ago. Also since it’s in a rather difficult area, geographically and politically, Omni-Mining decided long ago to continue mining notum in safer areas. But the complex itself was not fully close. It remained open as a communications base, which provides constant communication networks connecting the North and South. It is believed that the downfall of the global communications network a few days ago was caused by robotic crews repairing several electric currents in the complex. The robotic repair crews had to shut down power to the entire base or risk being over shocked and malfunction. Thus the satellite mounted on the top part of the base was shut down which caused massive problems with the communications network. But now everything is fixed and back in order on that section of the complex. The base also functions as a testing facility for new mining equipment. Only mining equipment that has been approved by our Engineering department goes to this facility. This means equipment that has already passed above ground safety and efficiency test. Then they are shipped to the complex in Borealis for several small tests in the tunnels.
The base has been kept silent not due to some secret “experiments” that certain people would like to believe. But it has been kept silent due to its location. We do not want the rebel clans attacking or spying on our new mining equipment so that they can illegally mine notum more effectively. Thus due to this document and release of this not too sensitive information, normal security will be increase slightly once the complex is back on-line. But the local residents need not to worry, you won’t even notice, for the guards will be inside and not outside, as it always has been.
Now that I have briefed you on what the complex itself, I will explain the events that lead to our presence.
On the evening of Friday July 25, 29477 the Borealis Complex was put on emergency status. Evacuation of the complex was begun immediately. The sensors showed an exposition happened in the lower tunnel areas. Due to the unexpected explosion in a stable area, no chances were taken. We thought there has been an attack on our complex. An armed convoy lead by our security forces left Clon**** and arrived at the complex an hour or so after the incident. The complex was mostly evacuated by then. The area was deemed clear and secure. Investigation began immediately. The investigation took all week, while our security forces patrolled the area making sure, if this was an attack, another would not happen. The investigation was completed on Saturday August 2, 29477.
During the week we made some interesting discoveries. We have taken all the data we have gather and formulated what would have caused this. It seems our first thought is correct. All evidence points to a terrorist attack done most likely by member of the Borealis Pact. But this is not conclusive. We have contacted Omni-Pol and informed them of this, not that they are the attackers but suspects. We have filed a criminal report of the events on August 2, 29477 when several members of the Nanomage Liberation Front tried to take employees hostage when they presented no hostile threat to them or anyone of Borealis. We do not want any arrest or sanctions done on them but continued criminal activity done by them will be sought after.
As you can see the reason of our presence has only to do with the thought and conformation of an attack on our old mining complex. The complex itself took minimal damage and restoration is under way. The complex will be back up and running its normal routines soon enough.
We apologize for making anyone worry. But if such an attack didn’t happen, this wouldn’t have happened. But thankfully the area of Azure Lake is still in perfect condition, it may have been much worse if the attack was greater. Also no permeate deaths have been reported thanks to our insurance technology. Only one worker was killed in the blast but was reclaimed later.
That is all I have to say about this matter. I thank you for your time.
