That day, Sandra prepares to start her new life as a mining worker in order to obtain a Certificate of Employment Eligibility.

Sandra will work for 6 months under contract and if she passes, she will move on to the next session to be able to realize her hopes of becoming a User, like Rey.

The blonde-haired woman looked pretty hard on her first day at work. However, many of the women workers who pay their respects to her considering the late husband—Rey—had been considered a hero to the people of Great Ruler.

The workers provided assistance and taught the technique of how to work in that dirty and tiring place. Sandra was so grateful to meet people who cared about her.

Sandra saw many heavy vehicles that were tasked with dredging the black rocks to be moved from one place to another like the ancient way in ancient times. Apparently, not all places use robots because they are adapted to the conditions of the field.

Traffic in the field is quite dense and almost 80% is carried out by Level D Robots and professional workers in their fields.

While Sandra, included in workers who do mining manually where the actual risk is greater.

Sandra, who does not have special capabilities in mining, especially coal, is only required to move small pieces of coal into special trains that will later transport to other divisions to be processed.

Sandra and the workers, working on a small piece of coal that could not be taken by the machine. They collected the black stone in an open field that was later moved into a train tub.

They worked under the hot, blinding sun of the day that entered that day. Workers wear special masks because of the danger of coal dust flying if inhaled.

TRINGG!!

Sandra was stunned when the bell rang out loud. The female workers exhaled a sigh of relief with smiles etched into the face. Sandra saw a digital clock attached to the wall of the project building.

"Sandra, come on! Lunch time," invited one of the middle-aged women whose voice was almost inaudible due to the gas mask he was wearing.

Sandra nodded and followed the workers marching towards the exit through a transparent box with two E robots on the left right as guards.

The workers' clothes were sprayed with cleaning steam, and then workers entered the second box. In the box, they remove gas masks, hand and foot protectors and remove special uniforms.

The objects are put in a box that has been labeled according to the name of the worker who will later be sterilized before reuse.

In the third box, the workers were sprayed again with neutralizing gas. They now wear civilian clothes as they came.

Sandra looks nervous when following all the procedures at her new workplace, but she is sure to get used to it considering she will work there for 6 months.

In the workers' dining room.

"Hem, not bad, huh?" asked a woman in black glanced at Sandra with a spoon filled with mashed potatoes.

"Yeah, these foods are delicious," he replied with a smile and then joined in feeding his hungry stomach with a spoonful of sauteed vegetables.

"Hem, this job might feel unfair to women like us, Sandra. But make no mistake. In the past, Vice President Lala had worked in this mine. She was one of the female workers who graduated within 6 months, then she moved to another division, became a User and in the end, married President Roman. Maybe you can follow in his footsteps" said a curly blonde woman.

"Oh, really? I never knew that" said Sandra, looking interested in what the blonde woman said.

"What's interesting is that when you get a certificate and you decide to become a user, the vice president will come here. He will be the one who will submit the certificate himself. Then test you, whether it's appropriate to be a User or not" said the brown-haired black woman.

"If the test doesn't pass?"

"You extended your service life, but only up to 12 months, maximum. In the next test you failed, then ... Whuss! You better start working this mine, Sandra. There is no hope of becoming a user" replied the black woman.

Sandra looked tense at once. He was afraid he could not pass the test later.

Tony never told me this. He didn't know or intentionally? his inner.

"Hey, there's no time for daydreaming, Sandra. You have to eat fast. There's no tolerance if you're late. You'll only increase your hours, even if you're only a minute late. However, you have to replace it for 1 hour. You'll be home late at night" said the black-haired woman, who had finished her lunch.

Practically, Sandra panicked. He immediately finished his meal even to the point of choking in a hurry. The female workers who saw Sandra eating hurriedly just chuckled, but Sandra did not care. He did not want to be punished and went home late at night.

"Hey, hey. Do you know what tests Vice President Lala gave?" sandra asked one of the workers.

The woman looked at Sandra intently.

"It is forbidden to chat while working, Mam. I'll tell you when I get home from work. Be patient" replied the blonde. Sandra nodded in understanding.

Finally, the exhausting work was over. The sign finished working sounded loud. The workers were so relieved that they were finally able to go home to meet their families.

Sandra again approached the woman who promised to tell her about the tests that would be tested by Vice President Lala.

"Hey, hey," call Sandra.

The woman chuckled. "You're really impatient. Okay," he replied as he held a bag on one of his shoulders.

"Rooks. How did you know all this?"

"I tried twice and failed. So are the people who are here. Yup, we end up here until retirement comes."

"You know for yourself, don't you? In the Great Ruler, it is not permissible for an unemployed person to live here. Work or get out of the fort. I don't want to go back to living with fear and poverty out there, Sandra. This place is a thousand times better than any country I've ever visited. So ... work hard," continued the black-haired woman in the middle of the conversation.

Sandra's heart was racing incoherently. He who had been living in the facility, did not know this.

Sandra forgot her question. He was daydreaming on his way home. In fact, he did not even realize when Tony was in front of him.

"Gee!" shock Sandra as Tony smiles at her. Tony accidentally hit him so that his girlfriend was aware of his daydream.

"What are you thinking? Mrs Rey?" tony Ledek.

Sandra chuckles. Suddenly, he hits Tony's arm so hard that the man complains of pain.

"You didn't tell me there was a test!" his gerrick. Tony grimacing.

"I don't want you to be depressed. I did it on purpose so you'd know for yourself. Hem, so ... how? Surrender? Want to try another job?" tanya Tony effectively quips.

"No. I'll go on. I'm sure I can be a USER" replied Sandra Ketus.

Tony smiles. "Want to know what the test is like?"

Sandra's eyes widened. He who was shocked to hear the explanation from friends in the mine, to forget to ask what tests were tested. Sandra nodded quickly.

"Okay, I'll tell you over dinner. Eliz cooked for my praise back then. I'm .. so a little scared" whispered Tony shuddering in horror.

Sandra chuckles, so does Tony. The two drove away from the mine workers station to the military apartment. Sandra was greeted by Eliz with a raised smile.

"SPend off! I don't accept the reason you've eaten outside or are full" Eliz pointed to the two people who were sitting at the table.

"Coercion" Tony whispered to Sandra, who was heard by her sister.

Sandra laughed again when she saw Tony's arm being hit with a spatula by Eliz.

"okay! Okay!" tony shouted in the end.

Sandra, Eliz and Tony start eating their dinner. Sandra and Tony glanced at each other. Apparently, their minds are the same. Eliz is a good cook.

"So ... What's the test like?"

Tony smiles. "Basic of impatience."

Sandra smiled faintly. Tony's words were the same as the mine worker woman he asked earlier.

"Okay, I'm patiently waiting" he said as he scooped up the ground meat sauteed with vegetables. Tony smiled faintly.
