Day 1
The never ending nights of a miner is hard, not to mention the numerous threats you'll have to endure whilst mining the greater asteroids and the flawed lunar-systems. With a minimum wager we stride to become rich, but with ORE constantly harassing the smaller industrial corporations, it's hard. You'd expect to hear one or two stories of great miners of old, who've discovered great treasures and gigantic fields of never ending minerals; those are the kinds of stories that makes you want to head into this kind of profession. Though most of your time you seek these great treasures for nothing, and end up with thrash minerals and leftovers from the greater corporations, which sees the smaller and not as rich asteroids as valuable in the long run. It's a hard life being a miner.
Day 2
We've entered a system yet unknown to our crappy equipment. Figured that we'll know the name of it by the end of this day though. Minerals were wearing short in our previous system, so we moved our mining flotilla to a distant system, which to rumors were to be filled with valuable minerals to those who doesn't seek the big stuff.
4 hours into my shift, 22:36, as the clock showed, I started to notice some malfunctions with our Scanners and Mining Acceleration Systems. I do not yet know what causes these malfunctions, but I bough thank them and ponder them. Since they started to become noticeable, they've just increased the capacity of our Strip Miners wield, and that makes me a bit worried. I do not however dare to report these "events" as an malfunction to the bridge due to the gain of it's causing. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
