As you begin the game, you'll find yourself in a lengthy elevator descent, accompanied by chatter about mining from a couple of characters. Once the elevator comes to a halt, you're free to move. Follow [[Supervisor Lin]] as she takes the lead through the mining tunnel.
The mission "One Small Step" begins with a lengthy elevator descent, during which you'll hear chatter about mining from a couple of characters. Once the elevator stops, you're free to move. Follow [[Supervisor Lin]] as she leads the way through the mining tunnel.


[[Supervisor Lin]] pauses and instructs you to pick up the Cutter from a nearby crate. Interact with the crate to grab the [[Cutter]], holding down the interaction button to equip it immediately. Now armed, proceed to a designated section in the tunnel with marked spots for mineral deposits. Use your newly acquired Cutter to shoot at these marks and mine [[Beryllium]]. Five spots are there; make sure to mine them all.

Now armed, proceed to a designated section in the tunnel with marked spots for mineral deposits. Use your newly acquired Cutter to shoot at these marks and mine [[Beryllium]].
