HubSystem ordered me to stay in position SafetyResponder28 was incoming.
The mine was run by cheap, venal bastards, so the nearest safety bot was 200 meters above us. So HubSystem’s response to my alert was to tell me to stay in position. But no, my job is: 1) to prevent the workers from stealing company property, everything from tools to disposable napkins from the mess hall 2) to prevent the workers from injuring and/or killing management, no matter how tempting the prospect might be and 3) to prevent the workers from intentionally harming one another in ways that might diminish productivity. You would think dealing with this would be my job. She had 90 seconds before that blade moved and dumped her down to be incinerated in the collectors. I isolated her comm signal and heard harsh, frightened breathing. Gravity was lighter in the shaft, and there was a chance that the impacts hadn’t-yeah, she was moving. She bounced off the stabilizer wall (ouch) and hit a blade on the extractor housing. I couldn’t get a visual, but I tracked the power signature of Sekai’s suit. I paused the episode and checked the monitoring drone down in the shaft.
