	You can apply for work here on a daily basis. You must arrive by 9:30 AM at the latest be offered a shift by the foreman, but can start as early as 6am. Shifts last 9 hours. There are four different types of work, with varying levels of risk, financial reward, and side benefits. Only one type is offered each day; if you don't like it, you don't have to take it; you cannot choose the type of work.		You can apply for work here on a daily basis. You must arrive by 9:30 AM at the latest be offered a shift by the foreman, but can start as early as 6am. Shifts last 9 hours. There are four different types of work, with varying levels of risk, financial reward, and side benefits. Only one type will be offered to you each day; if you don't like it, you don't have to take it; you cannot choose the type of work. The work offered each day is down to luck (roll 1-6), modified by your Influence (-1 if <41), Charisma (-1 if <21), and Manipulate (+1 if 80+), with results as follows:

	* '''~~Assembly Lines ($45/day)~~''' - ~~low risk, normal theft chance. Social actions available~~.		'''0. Nothing''' - try again tomorrow.
	* '''Chemical Processing Plant ($120/day)''' - high risk, no theft chance. No social actions available.
	* '''Munitions Factory ($35/day)''' - medium risk, normal theft chance. Social actions available.		'''1. Chemical Processing Plant ($120/day)''' - high risk, no theft chance. No social actions available.
	* '''The Concrete Plant ($35/day)''' - medium risk, no theft chance. No social actions available.
			'''2. Munitions Factory ($45/day)''' - medium risk, normal theft chance. Social actions available.

			'''3. The Concrete Plant ($45/day)''' - medium risk, no theft chance. No social actions available.

			'''4+ Assembly Lines ($45/day)''' - low risk, normal theft chance. Social actions available.

	The work is exhausting and sometimes dangerous, and though the pay is OK by Ikaaninan standards, a warlord slavemaster should be able to earn much more with his time. However the side-benefits may make working here worthwhile, especially if you are crafty. Working here can build up your '''Strength''', '''Dexterity''', and '''Stamina''' over time (chances for +1 to an attribute, dependent on type of work); socialising can raise your '''Charisma''' and '''Influence'''; and there are learning opportunities which can raise '''Science''', '''Academics''', '''Melee''' Combat, '''Ranged''' Combat and '''Medicine'''. Plus if you want to risk it, there are opportunities to try to steal various things, some valuable, which might also raise your '''Stealth''' skill if attempted (cap: 90).
