Laurel Hill Springs

"As for Aerodyne, my suspicion with them is when you read the fine print of their proposals. Their plans for renovating and reworking the old coal mines seem simple enough unless you're familiar with the mines here. The first mine in this area used the "lop off the top of the mountain, then dig in" method of coal mining, before it switched to the underground method to get at the coal veins. The digging into the strata isn't very deep, as the veins here are plentiful and close to the surface. Their proposal takes them digging deeper into the strata, going under the existing veins for "total extraction and exploration". They also have language for claiming proprietary ownership of any "hereto untapped mineral resources and materials". I had those mines surveyed back when I first became mayor, and the survey team did a thorough job ascertaining what is and isn't there. About the only thing under the coal is...well...nothing but slate and bedrock. Maybe the odd fossil or two from the precambrian era." He spoke seriously, the expression on his face one that told he mulling over just what in the blue hell that the company was trying to look for by digging so deep.

Who wants to get a li’l freaky? Perhaps a bit crepe-y. (#Creepypaper!)

I’ve been dying to explore this and it fits my love for Old Gods of Appalachia so well.


Perhaps someone in town has seen Aerodyne
Reps? Equipment? Maybe Sister companies trying to buy local land. Or intimidate people.
