History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The Nexine Mining Consortium (NMC) was formed as a coalition of small mining companies. The NMC was granted a charter to develop Nexine, and began using destructive underwater mining techniques to collect the native gemores. At the time, the NMC didn't realize that these valuable spheres were actually produced by a local lifeform known as Nexine coral. The coral was considered a nuisance, as it tended to grow over the gemores and foul mining equipment. Before long, the NMC's aggressive mining techniques were destroying the coral faster than it could grow. In 1085, IISS marine biologists discovered the potential threat to the biosphere, and also uncovered the link between Nexine coral and the gemores.
After some debate, the NMC ceased large-scale mining operations and began to study alternative ways of recovering the mineral wealth of Nexine. At first, conventional underwater harvesting operations were attempted using submersibles, diving suits, and underwater habitats. Unfortunately, it soon became clear that even the gentlest conventional methods tended to stress the coral. The Consortium subsequently chose a bold strategy of creating altered Humans, an engineered workforce capable of living amphibiously and harvesting gemores without any high-technology equipment.
After closed-door negotiations with the Ministry of Conservation and the biotechnology firm Imperial Gentech, the NMC offered shares to anyone willing to undergo bionic and genetic alteration at the Consortium's expense. Early projections regarding the potential productivity of the Nexine coral beds was strong inducement -- the new population of underwater "miners" was almost guaranteed to become millionaires in a relatively short time. In 1094, after intense consultations with legal counsel, aquatic engineers, and marine biologists, the Consortium asked the Ministry of Colonization to oversee its harvesting and reseeding efforts.
The strategy proved a public relations coup; the NMC is now touted as an example of an environmentally friendly company, reformed through hard work and altruism.
