Listen up buddy, I don't know what your motivations are to this job, I don't know whether or not you did all those years of medical training just for access to the explorer suits, and I certainly don't know about any assassination contracts on miners you might have. What I do know, is that you're a good guy. It's the most important thing about your job. You have to be on death's door every other second so you can save the [[Shaft Miner|Shaft Miners]] if they eventually fuck up. A wise man once told me that it's dangerous to go alone, which is exactly why you are here. | |||

Now, the reason you are on | Now, the reason you are on Lavaland is because many miners have perished due to Nanotrasen migrating the mining colony to a richer planet. Not just minerals either! There's roaming beasts all over the place eager for an opportunity to lash out at you and snap your neck! Nanotrasen considered this, but the additional plasma was more cost effective than the lives of their employees. However, now that you're here, there won't be any more dead miners. Right? Right! There's just a few things they probably didn't tell you in the flyer, so pay attention! | ||

So you've managed to run into a goliath while face-checking a corridor. Great job you. You better hope your buddy drags you out, because if he doesn't you're never going to see the light of genetics.

You don't want to take a risk for no reason other than trying to go for the "Robust guy look", simply take a step back and keep yourself safe. Unfortunately you won't make yourself look too impressive if a xeno is currently converting you to feces. However, remember that there are certain circumstances where perhaps this rule should be ignored, so that maybe you save someone who makes it so you don't have to drag him to Medbay or making sure that you will still have a partner to back you up later - as they might be responsible for saving your life later. They could be pissed when you let them die, but you can patch him up if you live. He can't fix you. | You don't want to take a risk for no reason other than trying to go for the "Robust guy look", simply take a step back and keep yourself safe.

Though seldom used, the body cameras both Miners and Mining Medics start with are extremely valuable to a mining medic. When you go red on a Crew Monitoring Console, simply knowing where you are with your GPS on won't be enough. Coordinates won't tell the rescuer (who can use the outpost camera console on the station side mining dock and mining station medbay) whether you're dead by a tentacle surrounded by dangerous simplemobs or dead in an empty corridor with nothing dangerous nearby. | Though seldom used, the body cameras both Miners and Mining Medics start with are extremely valuable to a mining medic.
