The truth about labor and living conditions in CRONUS

Greetings, employees!

The latest issue of "CRONUS Weekly" is once again on your screens. This week we will dispel the fears of recruits about the harsh working conditions under the Dome, talk about the safety measures taken by CRONUS and plunge into the past, remembering what the first research bunkers looked like.

Dome and its inhabitants

It is difficult to ignore how much the Dome has affected its inhabitants. Dozens of local flora and fauna have been transformed beyond recognition. And it is not only about appearance. Once harmless bugs became aggressive and cruel killers.

The CRONUS security service strongly recommends not to come into contact with any insects or animals. Immediately report your finding to the nearest control center, a group of specialists selected from the best employees of each Wing will visit the place immediately. Any mistake can cost you your life or at least your health.

Dangers when working with artifacts

Mutated animals are not the only danger in the wasteland. Studying artifacts and relics is an even more dangerous but ambitious task. The mysterious objects left by the forefathers contain amazing and frightening secrets. But rest assured, you have nothing to be afraid of.

Each object is studied by the best minds of the White Wing. We use only the most advanced equipment, which has no analogues in the whole world. In case of emergency, there is always a squad of the bravest and most prepared fighters. They will definitely deal with any unusual problem.

If there is a place where you can safely explore all the wonders of an unknown civilization, it is exactly under the Dome.

First CRONUS bunkers

Many residents won’t even remember what the land under the Dome looked like just a couple of years ago. New recruits are surrounded by high-rise stations, high-tech laboratories and training grounds. It is hard to believe that previously there were only small bunkers with minimal equipment.

The infrastructure of CRONUS has grown to such a high level only thanks to the hard work of the first settlers and the technology of the Forefathers! Right now every employee has almost unlimited access to the best benefits of CRONUS and can confidently call the Dome their new home.

New military inventions of CRONUS

Welcome, employees and first residents of the Dome!

On your screens the new issue of the "CRONUS Weekly". Today we will continue the section about amazing inventions and tell you about the latest and boldest novelties in the military industry.

Cryo Grenades Field Tests

Wesley Industries once again proves that nothing is impossible, and takes on the implementation of the most daring ideas of the Black Wing. Until recently, ordinary privates only joked about miraculous freezing grenades, and today this weapon is ready for field use! A single accurate throw, and even a big squad cannot escape from the battlefield.

Hydraulic Power Gloves

Hydraulic glove is another bold invention of the best CRONUS engineers. While everyone around the world has to rent expensive loading equipment, CRONUS employees can handle any medium or lightweight load with one hand. One person armed with such a useful item can replace up to three forklift trucks. All this became possible only thanks to relics and artifacts left by the Forefathers.

First Servoshell Concept

You have already heard the accusations against CRONUS many times, allegedly in almost all our inventions there is an obvious military potential. But it's worth examining early blueprints to understand that rumors are clearly exaggerated. For example, servoshell was first introduced to the world as a means to handle heavy loads, and additional metal plates were only needed to protect employees during heavy and dangerous work.

Unfortunately, the Dome was not as hospitable as we thought, and all military prototypes were approved by CRONUS only to protect their employees.

See you under the Dome!

Back to the roots. Forward to the brighter future!

Dear readers, this letter may seem familiar to you, even if you see it for the first time. After all, on your screens is the 50th-anniversary issue of the CRONUS weekly! Today there’s no news, just memories of the very first issue.

(ARCHIVE!) The opening ceremony of the Dome was attended by more than 10 thousand settlers

On September 26, the Dome was opened for the first researchers. More than ten thousand settlers went to build a bright world of the future. There is a lot of work ahead, mysterious artifacts and supernatural anomalies will one day submit to the intelligence of researchers and will be converted for the benefit of mankind. We ask you to join us, too!

Comment from the present: Just imagine, not so long ago there were only 10,000 of us. Just imagine how much work each of us has done to create the largest world corporation, consisting of representatives of all nations. Together we are building the future for all humanity.

(ARCHIVE!) Bugs fixed

The best minds of CRONUS believe that true mastery lies not in avoiding mistakes, but in correcting them in time. So our best specialists work tirelessly to improve the quality of life of each settler. Many errors and bugs have already been fixed.

Comment from the present: Since the release of this material, the management of the corporation has implemented three major infrastructure upgrades and many additional changes. Together we make our lives better!

(ARCHIVE!) More than 85% of the first settlers are satisfied with the quality of life under the Dome

An independent user survey proved a high level of satisfaction with the living conditions under the Dome. 85% of users left positive reviews. CRONUS corporation is grateful and promises to maintain a high level of responsibility!

Comment from the present: And it was only the beginning! Even now, independent surveys under the Dome show 99.9% satisfaction with living and working conditions!

C.R.O.N.U.S. Weekly is not the only way to monitor corporation updates

New invention of Wesley Industries and excavation under the Dome

Dear subscribers, the latest issue of the CRONUS weekly is once again on your screens. In this issue you will learn how excavations under the Dome are progressing, about the new and incredibly useful invention of Wesley industries, as well as how the training program for new recruits is changing.

Compact harpoon from Wesley Industries

The Dome is full of dangers, cliffs and high mountains. But what are you going to do if you notice an artifact of the Forefathers or a unique anomaly in the abyss? How do you get to it?

This is the question that Wesley company has answered with their new invention — a miniature harpoon. It is convenient, powerful, and most importantly — compact. The administration of CRONUS recommends it to any wasteland researcher.

Excavation under the Dome

Despite the developed infrastructure of the Dome, excavations and other research do not stop for a day. Who knows what other mysteries and secrets have been left behind by the mysterious civilization of the Forefathers.

The hardest and most dangerous excavations under the Dome are carried out by the Orange Wing under the careful supervision of scientists. In case of emergency, the life of each employee is insured. Relatives and friends of the deceased will receive compensation at any CRONUS station under the Dome.

CRONUS training program

During the study of relics, artifacts, anomalies and other technologies left by the Forefathers, CRONUS Corporation has collected a huge baggage of knowledge that has no analogues in the world. Even now we can say that the employees of the corporation are the best in their respective fields and have no equal.

The training program of the Black Wing deserves special attention. In two years, the recruits turned into well-trained and disciplined defenders of the Dome residents. All this is due to, perhaps, the best program of training and education for soldiers.

“Now each dining room and cafe will offer not only tasty and healthy food, but also excellent music, approved by the CRONUS moral commission”, — says the head of the CRONUS public relations committee

CRONUS rescue expedition

Employees! A terrible threat requiring your attention once again hangs over the outside world!

Servoshell station

More and more are asking questions related to the latest servoshell models. And we totally understand you! Literally every resident of the Dome dreams to try on such a technological and impressive costume. One of the most frequent questions: "What power source uses this miracle of engineering mind?"

The technology of the Forefathers helped us even here! To recharge the scientists of the Blue Wing have developed special stations that convert voltage into high power. Just a few minutes in those stations and the suit is ready to continue helping mankind in learning all about the incredible mysteries of the disappeared civilization!
