     .full-video (color/visual interpretation=off): Good-bye, Ganj Dareh! Our combine moves to Bunarbashi Direvnya on Schirra Continent tomorrow. We won the road-maintenance contract for their Southern Sector, and by the Grow-from-Success Pattern, they invited us to join their Collective. Hello, hot springs and volcanoes! Hello, six-story buildings ... straight down.
     Uh, we're sorry to be leaving Ganj Dareh. All of us, including our families, were born here. But ... how else could we get out from under this recession? How else could we get off this continent?
     I ... I mainly wanted to let you all know that it's possible, that there's work to be won elsewhere on the planet. Keep responding to those Notices of Competition! They're your ticket out of here.
     Good-bye.
