Higgs flipped open his Cell phone, auto-dialling the Sekt Co. Canada headquarters. They had just finished their most recent purchase: About one hundred and twenty square acres of land pushing from the forested regions of Alberta and Manitoba up into the North-West Territories. They had a somewhat small chunk of forested land to the south but their main goal was strip-mining a chunk of the shield as well as setting up a new facility to handle the processing of raw materials for "Higgs here, We're setting up the fence and bringing the trucks up now. We estimate we'll have the first phase done within a few days, operations set up within a few weeks."
Two men in safety vests and hard hats walked up to higgs, and he shook their hands. They were two of the surveyors, sent to check the area and mark where the shield ends and the forest begins along the southern expanse. They also reported on the crews preparing the roads for the trucks. Things were moving smoothly, TOO smoothly. "Any signs of Yajuu or human interference? There was hardly any red tape but the higher ups think we might need increased security." "No, sir. At least nothing we've seen so far. Our crews will be arriving shortly, however. We'll be hearing from them if there was any sign of difficulties."
Higgs nodded and straightened his suit, clicking his phone closed. There would be men coming up here, workers and security staff. The project head was concerned and thinking they'd need more staff on hand, more muscle... There was even talk of getting a few corperate Yajuu to come up this far. "Thanks, I'll be in the trailer readying the first report. Go grab some coffee." The two men nodded and walked off, the sun hanging low in the sky. People were starting to set up lights, trailers, there had been helicopters overhead before as well. Higgs stepped into his trailer, into the makeshift office-with-a-cot he was assigned for his job up here, thinking he'd be able to start writing his report to email back to HQ...
