ITC Headquarters, Ushobrakflug, 9/6/YE 36
" Beginning initializing of the interface. All is looking good." Said Odaka.
The ITC was in big movement. They were beginning their first big objective: rebuilding their surroundings on Ushobrakflug. The area around the HQ was a wasteland. The mud-lands close to the HQ were contemptuously called the "Battle-torn Fields". It was a graveyard of scrap metal, dug into the boggy ground. There was nothing of worth there anymore. But the metal would serve the company very well. So they began scavenging what remained, but all they had found so far was nothing but rusted iron and fragile steel. They would have to melt them to get anything out of it. And all the time, it had been raining.
So they decided to look beneath the mud. Just a few days before, Skeggason had done some sample working, and now he was identifying it.
" Copy that Odaka. Call me if you find anything interesting." Answered Bjarkmar. He was watching trough the microscope. But he did not know what he was seeing. " I've got some sort of unicellular organism. I sending you the schematics. Got them?"
Odaka: " Roger that. But what does it say? I'm not a biologist, Bjarkmar."
Bjarkmar: " Let's just say, it's a bacteria."
Odaka: " All right, anything else to report?"
Bjarkmar: " Nothing yet. How's the drilling going."
Odaka: " Initializing is complete. Well start digging in 20 seconds. Have you contacted Kenichi yet."
Bjarkmar: " I'm hailing him right now. Should I put him trough?"
Odaka: " Yes, but keep him contacted. I think he wants to speak to both of us."
Bjarkmar: " Got it. He's coming trough."
Kenichi: " This is Takahashi Kenichi. What do you have for me, Odaka and Bjarkmar?"
Odaka: " Sir, we've started drilling. But Bjarkmar has something interesting."
Bjarkmar: " Yes sir. I've fund some sort of bacteria beneath the surface. Nothing special, but it seems to be feeding on metal."
Kenichi: " What do you mean. Is it eating our foundations?"
Bjarkmar: " Affirmative sir. But it's not harmful. It only eating the rusted parts."
Odaka: " Is it dangerous?"
Bjarkmar: " In current form, no. But it seems to be evolving."
Kenichi: " Keep track on it, Skeggason. Odaka, how the drilling."
Odaka: " We've started. We're aiming for 30 meters."
Kenichi: " Copy that. Call me if you find something."
And so Odaka started drilling. The area would become an observation point and research camps would be set up. Also a marketplace would be constructed. But there was more to be done than that. All of the scrap metal would have to be removed, and refined into usable materials. It would take weeks to complete everything. The "battle-torn fields" were about 6 km. But the project was just starting. This was their new objective.
