They said that we would be punished if we underperformed. Better get to work. 

Go deeper and mine the brightest crystals I can find
Deeper in but the crystals don't seem to be perceptively getting brighter. You're still in the same long passage way. It dithers to the left and right but the auxiliary passageways have already been mined out. You swing your pickaxe but it barely chips the crystals away. The tiny chips which look about like pop rocks are on the ground. Apparently there's a reason that there's still so many crystals left. A lucky strike yields a piece of crystal about the diameter of a dime.

Status: Unharmed. Armed with a holstered six-shot revolver, fully loaded with seemingly normal bullets. Wearing a soot-covered poncho, a helmet illuminating your way and a backpack. Wielding a pickaxe. Your backpack contains a few ounces of crystals now.

Pick away at the brightest crystals I can find, stuff em in my backpack.
You swing your pickaxe. You hit a fault point and get one large chunk of crystal, weighing about a pound but is only about four inches long and an inch wide. After that you find getting crystals to be fairly difficult and only gets small chips.

Err...Onward and crystals-ward.
You move into the passage with the others and look around.

You really have to wonder why they gave us guns...

Keep mining further and further along.

This may take a while. . .

See if hitting the crystal harder produces bigger fragments.

look myself over, then do a short chunk of this (start at 8 min 30 s) before asking where I can get some nice things after mining. Pick up a pick axe and get to it afterwards.

I figure at some point, you're just gonna run outta fucks to give and just off yourself whenever you get hurt at all. It's not like there's any downsides to it. Hangover? Suicide will fix that. Stubbed your toe? Suicide. Headache? Suicide. Papercut? Suicide.

Careful tempting fate like that...
You find that sporadically mining is not much more effective than mining in one spot. Also the echoes of the pick are starting to mess with your head. It sounds like there's too many strikes.

The pick bounces off a rough patch of crystal and you stagger backwards. There is a visible crack in the crystal now but it's not much.

Well, um...Digging commences?
You begin digging in the antechamber, breaking up the stone around a vein of crystals rather than trying to break the crystals themselves.

Wow. Well, that was something. In fact, it was so unexpected and spontaneous you snapped the first NPC back to consciousness. After that you equip the pickaxe and take a cautious swing at the crystal. You don't really get a result.

Spoiler: Jim Dunn (click to show/hide)

Jim stares at the weird dancing skeleton. Hell seemed cheerier than he pictured it all the times he was told he'd go there. Still if he had to dance like that, he felt he'd understand the depths of eternal damnation.

Hmmm. . . Finally some progress

Hit the crystal again, this time right on the crack.

Keep mining, paying careful attention to the rhythm of everybody's picks, something's going on.

give Jim a friendly wave before trying again at digging out some crystals. Ponder my new un-life and sorrowfully miss my old life.

Keep on excavating the crystal.  Have I ever seen this stuff before?
