Transmissions:
Beginning:
‘Mr. Natas’
Than-you for coming!

As you know, it’s almost been impossible to hire decent miners on Mars since all the strange activity started happening around here. That’s why we are willing to pay you at a premium for your services! I’ve given you a basic mining machine to get started with. Unfortunately, you’ll be on your own from this point onward, as the settlers who were lucky enough to escape with their lives have all fled to safety. However, all the shops here have been computerized, so you’ll still be able to sell your minerals, fuel up, upgrade your pod, and buy special items.

Remember- your job is to collect minerals and bring them back to the surface for processing. The deeper you dig, the more valuable minerals you’ll encounter.

I’ll be in touch – Good Luck!

500 Feet:
‘Mr. Natas’

Good! I see you are adapting well to the Martian soil! Here’s a little something to help you on your way.

Gift: $1000

1,000 Feet:
‘Mr. Natas’
Congratulations on reaching a depth of 1000 feet! I’ve wired you a bonus for your excellent work.

We’re picking up some heavy vibrations from the planet core – They seem to be causing some earthquakes. They also seem to be causing some garbled and misdirected transmissions – just ignore them.

Keep up the good work!

Gift:X2 however much money you have

1750 Feet:
‘Unidentified Source’
The eyes…oh my god, THE EYES!!!

2100 Feet:
‘Martian Digging Pod #3422-2’

I’m surprised to find another signal around here… I’m the only miner who hasn’t disappeared in the past 3 years. Next week, I finally get to retire, wealthy, to the moons of Jupiter with my wife and 3 daughters.

2500 Feet:
‘Unidentified Source’

Is anyone there?! I need help badly!! I can’t feel my legs – Oh God, he’s coming back…

OH NO!! PLEASE HELP ME!! AAAHHHGGGK!.

3100 Feet:
‘Martian Digging Pod #3422-2’

How are you making it out there, kid? I know you’re new here, so I thought I would give you a tip; make sure you don’t neglect your radiator. I ran into a Lava Pocket a few moments ago, but my twin turbines dissipated the heat amazingly and my hull was barely damaged – probably saved my life.

4100 Feet:
‘Martian Digging Pod #3422-2

Trapped… in a crevasse.

Earthquake damaged my drill and I’m out of fuel.

This will probably be my last transmission.

Tell my kids…. I love them… I-

What? YOU!?? What are you doing dow- AAARGH!

4500 Feet:
‘Martian Digging Pod #10043’

OH BABY!!! THIS IS IT!!! I HIT THE MOTHERLOAD!!!!! I’m rich, I’m FILTHY rich!! Hey, what the!?? NO! IT CAN’T BE!!!! OH GOD!!

? Feet:
‘Mr. Natas’

You are violating the terms of your employment! Turn back immediately.

? Feet:
‘Mr. Natas’

Return to the surface immediately or you’ll be terminated… er… as in fired!

66666 feet:
‘Mr. Natas’

HAHAHA!! YOU FOOL!!

I told you to turn back…now I have no choice but to kill you. You’ve served my factories well, but I think I’ll take my machine, my money, and your pathetic life now.

SEE YOU IN HELL!!!

66666 feet:
‘Mr. Natas’

MWHAHAHA! Imbecile!!

You really think you can defeat me?

I am the master of all EVIL!

BEHOLD MY TRUE FORM!

I know, and Platnium. I am waiting until I get them in a game i am playing now. So I can make sure the numbers are accurate.

P.S You may have to wait a while for some more updates, this game got serious with Jakncoke just beating it.

A few hours ago, I went after what I thought was a gem in the corner. About 200 feet away from it, I went in the corner to get Gold. Then the game glitched and I couldn't get out.
