It's just another day at the absurd Progress Mining Company. Feed the monster, have a cup of hallucinogenic tea, and if it's your first day – don't pay attention to anything peculiar down in Sector 3.

Še en običajen dan v absurdnem podjetju Progress Mining. Nahrani pošast, spij skodelico halucinogenega čaja, in če je to tvoj prvi dan - ne posvečaj pozornosti ničemur nenavadnemu v Sektorju 3.
