Teamwork! AW YEAH!

So today, I was discussing my ideas with Taciana and J-F, and we've figured out a way to have my "Drill City" Integrate itself into the Idea for the world that J-F thought up. Since the original idea of my drill colony was that it was a Harvesting colony/town, that built itself around a previously broken piece of equipment, we expanded on not only the idea, but the perimeter of my town/city and the history that comes along it. 

History:
----------------------
At it's origin upon being deposited on Gliese 581, this drill colony was just that. A small colony alongside a Large Industrial Drill held by the company DP Industries. Due to a lack of previous research into the planet's mineral composition, industrial drills such as this one were sent in to "harvest" what they could, but met a quick timely demise upon reaching a sheet of minerals much stronger than the diamond tipped drill bits used by DP at the time.

Luckily for DP, further analysis of the environment revealed a mineral composition in the atmosphere at lower altitudes, which seemed to have an even stronger energy output than Solar energy, which at the time was still the strongest and easiest energy source to harness.

A handful of years later from the initial insertion of the drilling colony, DP sent an air refining colony to the location of the previous drill colony, and built around the drill, in order to prevent any further possible damage to the ground around the drill. Thus was born the Fractus-Alpha Drilling Site. Refineries were set up and the harvesting site itself was walled and gated off from the previous inhabitants, who were then given Food and drink to survive, if they stayed to work at the refineries.

Work:
---------------------
I will be doing the Greyboxing for the colony, and will be provided with the silos and facilities for the refinery by Taciana.

Jean-Francois will be making a couple of 1-page designs and a Game Design Doc, if i understood correctly.
