"By the way if that shield is filled with concrete, then what's the concept behind it?"
"Gavial tried to hit it before, she had to use both of her hands."
"That Cement.... she's quite strong"

Operator Cement has a very keen sense of smell. This is the first impression everyone remembered when she first arrived at the landship. According to what the receptionist recounted, the moment she stepped into the office, her nose furrowed and she frowned a bit. The said receptionist thought this new friend from Rim Biliton has some disagreement with the contract clause and was about to elaborate but then Cement looked like she made up her decision and then she said "Um sorry but it seems like there's something moldy stored in the third drawer from the left."

The said receptionist then opened the closet and brought out a half-eaten package of biscuits and it's tied with rubber band from the exact location. According to the information we gathered, Cement was once stuck in a damp and cramped mine and she can distinguish formation of rocks by smell only. She then organized the worker to avoid danger, fortified the safety structure and remove all the hidden hazards from the mine, which convinced everyone else.

On the night after her registration, Cement received many invitations from various groups and departments. These includes but not limited to: Rhodes Island Cafeteria, Purchasing Department, the Community Garden, the Sommelier Association where Tequila is, Purestream's environment sampling and analysis team and others which she responded accordingly. As Podenco's described, when she visited the garden, Cement can distinguish the smells of more than ten different flowers in a short time. Indeed, you can see that the surroundings of the garden is filled with flowers but when it's filled with dust it's hard to distinguish it from one another. Cement expressed her gratitude for Lena's and Podenco's invitation but, due to her busy schedules she cannot stay for too long in the landship. She then returned in a hurry to Rim Biliton.

While doing routine check for Engineering construction record, the Engineering department found that although Cement isn't permanently on the landship, she always came to hand her works leaving more than ten attendance records. Regarding her construction skills in drilling, tunneling, pouring, underground road maintenance and others, some senior operators gave their "Excellent" evaluations unanimously. Cement has worked in construction and mines around Rim Biliton all year long. Although she's lacking in the systemic knowledge of engineering theory, she has more than enough hands-on experience and equipment modification capabilities to evaluate how feasible and the space optimization of the drawings. In particular, the rock formation and possible loss of building materials and the equipment she modified can be used in more complex and difficult environment with the premise of better accuracy and performance.

"Drill bits, engineering gear, gauge, high precision measuring tape... these tools are our bread and butter. This business is very cruel and we can only rely on our survival skills in the end. Only with advanced technologies can we talk about other things once we confirmed everything is firm."

"Noise? Well, this is an actual problem, How can we reduce the noise while maintaining the performance? Modifying the headphones? This isn't my specialty..." I pat my chest knowing that Cement blushed in a rare occassion.

The "Shana Engineering Team" is a small engineering team with roughly 50 members, whose main business is being the subcontractor for the Rim Biliton Mining Company's large scale project. While she negotiated for the terms, she always emphasized the rights that the team should have during the projects and it must be included in the contracts. Obviously, this isn't new for us: it's mandatory for the drawings to be approved, revised or adjusted, it's mandatory that the construction process to not be intervened without any conclusive reason and payment and compensation cannot be late. While those are not really uncommon terms, this attitude might sound unpleasant to every business owners.....

Contrary to that belief, The Shana Engineering Team is actually well-received in Rim Biliton. The reason-as explained by Cement herself-is "Technology", which makes them a formidable competition. Since its formation, the team has maintained zero accident record, their projects are considered high quality and the amount of appending works and repair to their projects has been low. In a span of three years, they went from a team of ragtag nobodies to a well-known preferred one. According to Cement herself, the team is steadily expanding its scale and trying to expand its business.

The team has begun undertaking projects outside conventional ones such as long-distance exploration and investigation projects from other countries' technological company and to provide technical supports for teams that needs to do their mission is unusual environment such as drilling and tunneling in the tundra. Even when she talked about the partnership direction with the Engineering department, Cement directly said she wanted to go to Columbia in a study and business exchange program through Rhodes Island.

"What does the Columbian frontier look like? How are our workers different from everything else? For us workers, whatever we do or wherever we are, it always mean something to us."

Operators who have talked with Cement should've heard about her dream: Hoping that there'll be no more mine disasters in Rim Biliton and ensuring that all workers will no longer be sad when talking about their present and future.

Cement was born to an ordinary family of miners in Rim Biliton and her father was a contractor for a subcontracting company. Cement has always been following him in and out of the mine since she was little. She has seen workers whose stain are still unwiped, gathered under a small canopy, feasting from an iron pot stew and passing the Originium Worm beer and passed out drunk. She has seen her father and other security officers mediate on the drinking table, skillfully completing those nitpicky routine inspections. She watched a movie played in a projector by the workers who cannot go home for New Year. A gunshot from the movie scene startled her and her father fed her a candy to let her continue her sleep. Her father later witnessed a mining accident caused by the safety structure of the mine and he had to fully compensate each workers and their families because he didn't want to see the lives of those workers ruined. He later paid the rest with his own savings....The company was also forced to shut down because of the losses.

When she was asked why didn't she learn anything from her father's losses she said "why not?"

Obviously, Cement isn't an overly optimistic person or one who can accept deaths. Once, a heavy downpour interrupted the pouring process and the others had to spend some time in the construction work shed. There, Cement frankly expressed her thoughts of their status--

Most of her workers are youngsters with specialized set of skills. The others, under Cement's guidance and tutelage also made significant progress. However, looking at how big Rim Biliton is, a country full of excavating platforms, most of the people who worked in the mines aren't exactly the capable ones, they can't operate heavyweight equipment and can only do basic hard labor. Many of them are illiterate and they can only enter the mines with their heads down to never leave it forever....

"I do admit that relying on professional's ability to get a permanent position and not being undermined by the mine owners are a bit naive and idealistic..."

"I cannot control the underground mines nor can I do anything regarding the policies made above ground, but I just can't stop."

"Even if the possibilities of change is small."

【Special Record】

1. Infrared components and protective guard for camera components.

Operator Cement submitted an application to purchase said equipment to the Engineering Department to modify the construction camera installed in the field

2.Mint Candies

Remark: Mint flavored candies, refuses any strange fruity taste, the sweetness is natural and its refreshing effects are apparent.

Some operators has seen Cement accidentally drop candies, picked it up and brushed the dirt off on it and eat the candies.

7. Steel Imprint

It's been confirmed that Steel Imprint is a magazine who were formed suddenly by workers from several mines in Rim Biliton. It contains several columns such as "Historical Events", "Policy Description", "Views from Abroad", "Workers' Literature". "Jokes That You Can't Miss".

After Cement subscribed to the magazine for the Shana Engineering Team name, she took the initiative to contact the editorial team and expressed her willingness to provide financial support on regular basis.

Additional records: Since its start, the magazine has published 15 issues and switched from monthly publication to bimonthly. The latest issue under the "Workers' Literature" features a semi-autobiographical novel titled "Long Roots of Radish" and it tells the story of a miner who mistook an intruding sandbeast as a ghost, pursued it through complex terrain of a mine and managed to dig 8000 meters underground.

The author, Shana Moleman, writing style can be a little bit of childish, but it's quite camp.
