Landing in a vacant dock, the pod was moved into the protective structures on the planet. Within moments the outer covering of the tiny ship cooled and cracked open, allowing the hatch to move forward and Hyede to get out. He was still dressed in only his boots and pants, but considering the heat even with the protective domes, he was probably over dressed. Entering a voice lock code into the Pod’s computer he closed the ship’s hatch and rolled the oversized metal beach ball into a corner where it would be out of the way.

It wasn’t long before Hyede managed to find himself the mining office and requisition the appropriate tools. Walking off to an as yet unused portion of the mine, Hyede set about extracting Iron from the rock.

The work wasn’t as bad as he expected, the worst part was the heat, within just the first few minutes he was already covered in sweat. Though Hyede knew the work would do him good and also knew the money it would bring him would pay for his plans ahead.

Continuing to bash away at the rock face, Hyede worked it pickaxe almost like a real professional. The truth was, one you got a good rhythm going the work got much easier, but given the heat it was still strenuous.

After a time Hyede finally started to make some visible progress in his private little mine shaft. The face had moved forward by several feet and he was nearing what according to the radar images of the iron veins indicated on his map, was an area dotted with deposits.

Continuing to soldier on, Hyede pounded away at the rock face. He sent out cartloads of rubble faster then some of the men could believe. On of the other miners even went so far as to ask if the young man was a robot. After assuring them he was just as human as the rest, Hyede took a quick break before returning to work.

With his break over, Hyede returned to his shaft and continued to make progress. The first signs of iron ore began to show them selves.

Carving the tunnel out a little wider, Hyede found that he wasn’t exactly on target with the map. His tunnel was moving along side the vein, however this did have the advantage of him being able to create side passages right into it if need be.

Pushing on, Hyede carved deeper into the solid rock of the planet, and continued to send out cart after cart of rubble until lunch time arrived. Starved, the young man gladly put down his pick and headed to the mining quarters to enjoy a good filling meal.

Returning after lunch, Hyede continued to make progress in the mine as one of his side passages started to take shape. Soon enough oxidized rock started to appear, a clear sine Iron was close.

Crashing his pickaxe into the stone wall, Hyede eventually made his first score. A chunk of Iron weighing at least a hundred pounds tumbled out of the wall and fall to the ground at Hyede’s feet.

Not giving up just yet, Hyede loaded the chunk of iron into his cart that was reserved for the metal and turned back to the rock face to continue work. Within minutes another cart load of rubble left the site as the young man continued to work.

*Clang… Clang… Clang*
The sounds of the steel pickaxe crashing into the stone wall rang through Hyede’s section of the mine.

An hour or so later Hyede stopped for another break. The heat was starting to get to him but his body was reveling in the constant work. His muscled though aching slightly felt vibrant and alive as they do during battle, though now it was a constant sensation, one that kept the young man going longer then even he expected.
