{{quote|''In the borehole pressure mines 100km beneath Planetsurface, at the Mohorovicic Discontinuity where crust gives way to mantle, temperatures often reach levels well in excess of 1000 degrees Celsius. Exploitation of Planet's resources under such brutal conditions has require quantum advances in robotic and teleoperational technology.''|'''Morgan Industries, Ltd.''', ''"Annual Report"'' (Accompanies discovery of the "Industrial Automation" tech)}}
 
{{quote|''We are no longer particularly in the business of writing software to perform specific tasks. We now teach the software how to learn, and in the primary bonding process it molds itself around the task to be performed. The feedback loop never really ends, so [[AIA.I.

{{quote|''Life is merely an orderly decay of energy states, and survival requires the continual discovery of new energy to pump into the system. He who controls the sources of energy controls the means of survival.''|'''CEO Nwabudike Morgan''', "The Centauri Monopoly" (Accompanies first construction of the Energy Bank base facility)}}
