Shortly after the clock reached one thirty—Phau’s noon—the cafeteria became alive with miners and other workers walking through the door. They came from all the corners of the galaxy, their skins ranging from the palest white to the darkest shades. What they all had in common was the greenish dust covering their clothes and hair. Some even had diazdust—as they called diastium residue—on their face and hands. A handwashing station was available to them, but they didn’t use it. Either they didn’t have time, or they had given up on safeguarding their health. After all, eating a bit of diazdust would not make a difference if they already inhaled it all day.
