Underground lamps flicker as Mole Miner Max, a mole three times larger than his kin, steps into view. He tosses a heavy jacket and headlamp to you. 'Ahem... Greetings young mole. Are you the new miner? It's you.' He gestures to the steam locomotive behind him. 'I'm Max, the boss. Life here is hard: 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. shifts, midnight meals. Ask veterans if you're lost. No laziness. Good luck!' He turns back to his work.
