Don't stay cooped up in your office all the time, Doki. Why don't you come down to the mines with me one of these days?

Something smells moldy. Should be in the bottom left drawer. My nose is never wrong... Well, Doki, You should really deal with those documents before they pile up. If you just leave them like that, they're gonna get damp.

My drills are all souped up. They've got twice the impact, improved stability, and they pretty much can't jam. Anyway, I'm a pro when it comes to boring, tunneling, and laying concrete. If you've got any construction jobs like that, I'm your girl!

First, you check construction blueprints ahead of time. Second, you don't disrupt our work without a good reason. Third: You never, ever fall behind on your payments. That's the three principles Shana's Construction Crew uses to decide on projects. No exceptions, Doki, not even for Rhodes Island.

Rim Billiton has more prospecting operation platforms than you can count, with tons of workers running around. You gotta know what you're doing to get anybody to listen to ya. I work hard to refine my skills, and I teach what I know to the gang. That's the way I do things... Yeah.

We don't compromise on safety, even in barren mines with low output. Infected or not, so long as you work the mines, your rights oughta be guaranteed. I hope we never see another Billy mine accident. At the very least, I always make sure my projects stand up to inspection.

Doctor, want a lolly? It's just a regular mint one. I always keep some in my pocket. Don't underestimate the power of a lolly, though. When there's dusty air all around you, a little sweetness can really calm you down.

My dad always said that Columbia's Great Expansion marked the start of a new age. Now, the big corps pull in all different countries on big projects. Rim Billiton's ores really shine out there. But you know how things go, the taller the building, the more solid the foundations have to be. That's why the work we do is always meaningful, no matter the task.

A Billy worker never sees the sun.' That's what my friends in the mines always say. The darkness down there swallows everything, work and life, past and future... I want to give people hope for the future, Doki, give them better lives. Easy enough to say, but there's lots of work to do. You'll lend a hand, won't you, Doki?

Alright, lads, day's done. Rest up now.

Oh, so you're the Doctor everyone's talking about! I'm new in Engineering; foreman of Shana's Construction Crew out of Rim Billiton! Here's my business card.

Nah yeah… If the mines just provided workers with recorders, it would save us so much hassle.

I thought it was a joke when I got a new contract from HR. Not only did my pay go up, I get even more benefits... Thanks, Doki!

If I ever get the chance, I want to go check out Columbia, see the Great Expansion with my own eyes and how their workers are different from ours in Rim Billiton... Doki, Rhodes Island works with a lot of big companies, right?

Work, work! Hop to it now!

You all got your helmets on? Check again!

This shaft's got a complicated layout. Follow me.

Ah! Why is my drill stuck?!

Hm…? What's that smell?

Relax, Doki, just show up at completion time.

The blueprints check out. Let the construction work begin!

Remember, max deviation for each drill hole is two centimeters!

Oi! Stay focused when you're running that boring machine!

A triple bright miner's lamp could make ya go blind!

Move, or this cement's going right on your heads!

Dig! Diiig! Diiiiiiig!

Doki! We… We just wrapped up a huge project!

When worker safety's on the line, you can't slip up for even a single second.

If you spot anything after construction's done, that's already too late. We need to find as many problems as we can in the design stage.

Don't be glum, chum. Follow-up work is part of construction, too. Just leave it to me to take care of the reinforcement. Cheer up, Doki.

Let's say Rhodes Island needs some dorms rebuilt, think you might hire Shana's Construction Crew? Hehe…

Eeek! Oh, it's you, Doki. Sorry, didn't notice you over the sound of the drill.

Doki, can you hold this shield for me? Careful now, it's heavy. The inside there? That's concrete, baby.

Arknights.

It's this time of year that workers with no way to get home gather in the open parts of the mine to screen movies. Watching the shiny, happy people up there, we all forget our worries for a while. Then a new day comes, and a new year begins.

Hey, Doki! Here, a mint for ya.

I know even a small project can call for a lot of workers. But I've never seen a place like Rhodes Island, with so many amazing people gathered together. What are you all trying to accomplish, Doki? Whatever it is, I can't wait to see it for myself, 'cause now I'm part of it too!
