PLAYER enters the SOROS loading bay which is bustling with frontiersmen transporting different packages. In the middle of the chaos is ABNER standing and scratching his helmet as he stares down at a transparent clipboard.

ABNER

   I’m very busy as you can see, there’s a lot of work to be done around here and I can’t stop for even a minute. This is logistics, you probably saw the sign. We are always moving, and we need to keep moving - so if you could, please, just do something.

SELECTION: ORIGINS

ABNER

    Today? Yesterday? I’m not quite sure to be honest. I shut off sometimes outside of the shipping centre because I’m often working or overseeing everything so it can get to be a bit much. I think I got in today sometime between mid sunrise or so.

SELECTION: HAZARDS

ABNER

    Look, there is nothing more hazardous than mistakes. I understand they happen, it’s totally fair. I don’t read anyone the riot act, if they screw up obviously there are consequences, but ultimately it reflects on me not them. Accuracy is incredibly important in this business.

          SELECTION: PREFERENCES

ABNER

   If I get a moment I like to imagine how many packages we’ve shipped and received. I don’t know the exact number, I always spitball it, but If I could know the exact number I’d be really happy, it gives me something to work towards improving.

SELECTION: IDEAS

ABNER

   My ideas only stretch as far as work. I uhm, I don’t know much else really. I used to think more about everything about everything at my old contract but, I’m here now, so I just keep things inside as they should be.

SELECTION: COMPANIES

    ABNER

   Companies? Uh, we do a lot of different shipping to the mines, to other places, but it’s mostly Soros related affairs. I mean, I think you’re asking about this company,  because I don’t have much time to educate you on others. Apologies if that sounds rude.
