RUMine

The **RUMine** is a mine that is located somewhere in the Peninsula. It was discovered by Albert sometime around the Justice Tower Massacre, either before or after. It made heavy use of slave labor to mine precious minerals for Popeye to make money off of. He would use much of it to buy military equipment, and to donate to the then-fledgling Indigo Syndicate.

## Background

RUC propaganda's version of events has the story begin with Albert on the run from the "Demonic Overlord," only to trip and fall into a hole. In a grand display of bloodlust and evil, the "Demonic Overlord" simply got confused and left.

In actuality it's unknown how and when exactly the RUC came upon the mine, as their own records are very unreliable. Some have suggested Albert came upon it before he got kicked out of the Justice Tower Protest Community, and pointed the RUC towards it after they took over the tower. Others believe that it was discovered by Albert after the massacre had occurred; either way, both theories seem to agree that Albert was the one who discovered it.

### History

Records of the mining operations being conducted here from before the RUC took it over can be found. From what can be discerned by the records, mining operations were conducted by the [name] corporation, and were active during the periods from x/xx/xx to x/xx/xx. The mine was primarily a source for [various ores and materials], with the daily haul being [numbers] per day. However, in records dating from x/xx/xx, they've begun reporting some strange "presence" lurking within the mines, and some incidents where workers have gone completely missing. While dangerous creatures have been reported before and were commonly known throughout the workforce, when these incidents began happening on more regular occurrences, mining operations were forced to stop, and the mine was abandoned.

## Peninsula War

After discovering and claiming the mine, the RUC found that there were still many precious minerals within it. Popeye decided to take some of the RUC's prisoners to the mine and force them to work there. As the RUC gathered more prisoners during their conquest of the peninsula, Popeye would direct more and more of these prisoners to work in the mine. Conditions were described as abusive and destitute, many miners would end up dying from exhaustion, starvation/dehydration, or suicide. They are also watched closely by several soldiers, who will beat them senseless if they step out of line.

### The Monster

The strange "presence" lurking within the mines turned out to be none other than a horrific monster, which had already eaten several miners in the past. The RUC took notice of this monster when it bursted through the cave walls and eaten up several soldiers and miners. They withdrew to a location where the monster had a harder time reaching, but it was still hungry for food. When a miner tried to escape from the scene, RUC soldiers apprehended him and tossed him into the monster, who devoured him before scuttling away. This was when the RUC realized that they can satiate it by sacrificing their workers once every while; whenever the monster comes back and tries to climb upwards, the RUC would sacrifice one of their workers and it will leave them alone.

RUC propaganda continues to insist on their "heroism" as they sacrifice innocent workers to a monster, instead of fighting it like one would expect from "heroes." Interestingly, they refuse to fight the monster on the grounds that there's "simply no other choice," even though the RUC stubbornly continues to fight against this so-called "Demonic Overlord," who they portray as an invincible demon who can rewrite the code of the universe. A simple monster on the other hand, is apparently too much for them to handle.

### Resistance Raid

Having gotten word that Popeye was going to be visiting the RUMine, the united resistance forces sent a squad to the mines to free the prisoners, and to eliminate Popeye when the opportunity presented itself. When they reached him, he and Jafar were in the middle of feeding another miner to the monster. The monster, hungry as ever, climbed onto the area everyone was standing, with Popeye and Jafar leaving the squad and the miner behind at the mercy of the monster. The squad was forced to fight the monster, and managed to emerge victorious, slaying it in the process. Not only did the squad free the prisoners, they also proved that the monster could be killed, which further bolstered their support from the Peninsula's inhabitants. This event also further cemented the RUC's cowardice and lies, for refusing to fight a monster that can be killed, which would have otherwise saved many people.

During their flight, Jafar got separated from Popeye and got lost in the mines. The nature of how it happened is unclear, but Jafar ended up becoming paralyzed on the ground, but still able to speak. Popeye came back into the mines and found Jafar, though Jafar was mentioned as having died afterwards, with Popeye holding a funeral for him, which doubled as a rally. Some have theorized that Jafar had died when Popeye found him, while others believe that Popeye thought Jafar was dead (despite constantly pleading to him that he's alive), and had him buried alive as a result. Either way, Jafar most likely died from this event.

### Aftermath

Many of the RUC's soldiers and guards that weren't outright killed during the raid were captured by Resistance forces, who let the now freed prisoners decide what should be done with them. The decision was made to throw them down the very same mineshaft that [the RUC] had originally used to sacrifice their prisoners, and then have a live grenade lobbed in after them to finish the job. It was quite a spectacle.

### After the War

Mining operations ceased after the war, with no one bothering to pick it back up. However, it's become quite a popular destination for adventurers, scavengers, treasure hunters and the like; all in search of treasure in hopes of striking it rich. However, they will still have to contend with some of the dangerous creatures that inhabit it. Thankfully, they won't have to worry about the monster that lurks within the mines anymore, though it's been found that the mines go deeper than initially thought. But that's a story for another time.

## The Odyro Archive

*Yes, I know you can just use the history function to read the previous version of this page, but I wanted this saved at the front for posterity.*

The **RUMine** was a mine that was discovered by Albert prior to the Crashocalypse war. In this bizarre mess of delusions Albert claims to have been running away from Mike who was trying to kill him, and then fell into a mine that contained all sorts of jewels and shit, and we're supposed to believe that Mike, an invincible evil demon who is hyped by them to be the greatest and most powerful evil who threatens *the very fabric of existence,* basically didn't notice Albert and his fat ass falling into a hole and simply left *confused.* Some bloodlust there. Really threatening demon. Greatest threat to humanity for sure. Doesn't even notice the fucking planetary sized crater that must have rocked the very earth caused by Albert's tumble. Nope.

So in this mine, which for all we know might not have even been a mine and more of a open manhole cover he managed to squeeze his fat ass into, Albert claims to have found a regular fucking El Dorado of jewels and gold and shit. So Albert told great Fuhrer Popeye about this and he sent some prisoners from the RUCamps to help mine these precious minerals. The prisoners are probably people they bullied (heroically of course!) into doing their dirty work for them, because such great heroes can't even do anything themselves, no siree!

Apparently the hauls they get from this expedition goes to various fundraisers and charities (all honest charities would probably take one look at them and refuse any donations and call the cops on their dodgy looking asses) and Project Equality, their failed attempt at being accepting to diversity (Except for those evil gay demons who must die for justice!). Chances are however, they'd just give all their money to Lady Tremaine. There's also some fanfic tier bullshit about holy magic in jars which I can only assume is just some grade-A shit they pulled from their asses. Not even worth mentioning except for laughing at. And yet it gets even worse when they get Count Chocula to summon THE SPIRITS OF THE DECEASED (these guys are heroes???) in exchange for them to be at peace... Yeah, sure. We totally believe this.

Now in this mine they claim is some sort of powerful creature that has been known to eat the poor souls they subjected to mining their shit. Now, any hero would undertake the task of slaying this monster before it kills any more innocent lives. What does the RUC do? Can you take a guess? Did you think they would go and slay the monster? No, they went ahead and *sacrifice their workers to the monster to appease it, claiming it is a necessary sacrifice.* I am not making that up. They literally just say "fuck it", give up and just sacrifice their miners to the monster. HEROISM. TRUE HEROES RIGHT THERE.

And they have the audacity, the nerve to claim they treat their workers well with an assortment of bullshit that any sane person would know are complete and utter falsehoods. Just like the work conditions at fucking RUCluckers. This article is yet another example of their how warped their minds are to think that the things they do are considered heroic. Fucking sacrificing workers to a monster like some ritualistic bullshit is NOT HEROISM. That is as far from heroism as can be. That is utter cowardice!
