Lynx Corporation takes the health and safety of our workforce seriously, and to that end we are proud to announce a new Firmware patch for our EverWork Program.

We are offering a 0.0025% bonus to any worker who successfully makes it through an entire solar cycle without requiring a single regeneration to celebrate the successful deployment of the aforementioned Firmware Patch. The bonus will be paid out at the successful completion of your contract, although a 0.0032% processing fee may be incurred, entirely at our discretion.

Additionally, Lynx is pleased to reveal that the work productivity research team has cleared the release of additional tracks for the Shipbreaker Americana Soundtrack which are now available for purchase at our trusted Lynx partnered vendors. The work productivity research team calculated that listening to these new tracks increases productivity by an impressive 0.021%, so we at Lynx recommend the purchase to all our employees.
