Dear miners,
I must say I am dissapointed by what you have done. Every time you, as a team of ten legendary +5 miners, mine out almost anything I designate within ten seconds per 25 tiles of stone. But this time, you didn't.
Normally, I wouldn't care. But this time, I do. You see, there is a leatherworker out there who has been unhappy. Probably because of witnessing the mass murder from the last goblin raid. We kicked their asses like never before, but it didn't stop the corpses from causing horror among dwarves who have to haul them away.
I ordered a 3 rooms, in a platinum vein intersecting with a magnetite cluster, to be mined out near the nobles' quarters. These rooms would be engraved later and assigned to the unhappy dwarf to boost his mood. But for some reason, you took a whole month to mine out 3 10x10 rooms in mostly the same stone.
The dwarf went berserk. The militia had to kill him.
You failed me. Normally I would see this as an oppoturnity to test functionality of the the cleaning system of the reservoir, the drowning chamber, the magma cannon, and the safety of the magma chute, but you are my fortress' most sacred group of people, and all of you somehow have at least 4 friends despite being on job 99% of the time.
But I'm not letting this go unpunished. The next time this happens, I will be testing the aforementioned contraptions with certain subjects *cough cough*, and they are not the goblins we captured last winter.
Signed,
The Overseeer
