After twoterrestrial planet

This meteorite cluster wasfrom previously Since the previous cluster was a precursor for a gas giant, the overall size of its individual asteroids was small and they were far in between

This cluster, however, wassizes There were some as small as several cubicIn its center, there were a few asteroids that were as big as Earth’s moon They were not uniformly shaped; a result from collision with one another

The asteroid the Acade the bunch According to calculations of its size and ravitational force That force was strong enough to ensure that the Hope stayed landed Simultaneously, calculations revealed that the asteroid had a dirt layer, whichcould be done, there remained a lot of preparations to be completed Thanks to their experience on Planet Sahara, no one on the Hope illing to take anydate, more than a handful of surveillance devices were dropped onto the asteroid

The devices were used to conduct a series of analyses Fronetism, all sorts of data was collected Thankfully, all of the results matched the Academy’s hypothesis Thus, on the third day the Hope arrived at the cluster, it started landing

The landing finished without a hitch The whole of the Hope breathed a sigh of relief when the giant ship landed softly on the asteroid’s surface; some of them even cheered

In the following days, a rudi party was formed Naturally, it was mostly fitted witha hastily-constructed landing craft, the party departed from the Hope to secure its perimeter and collect some soil and rock samples

That finished without a problem as well

What folloas a few days dedicated to analysis…

There were stillto be discovered in space, but one couldn’t just jump heedless into it There were plans to be charted and precautions to be taken The level of caution was especially heightened when the lives of 120000 people were tied to it

Six days sped past before the Academy could present its analysis result The asteroid posed no observable dangers However, since it didn’t have an atmosphere, spacesuits must be worn at all times when one was outside the base and the Hope Furthers like not to stare directly into the new sun were issued by the govern creas finally dispatched They had selected a flat land three kilo site Because they were preparing for a base that could accommodate 120000 people, the workload was incredibly heavy

The idea seemed so implausible that most of the citizens didn’t believe it could be done And there was basis behind their concern This was, after all, not a construction project on Earth, which could be rushed, and even if it was an earthbound construction, it was still hard to unearth an underground space big enough for 120000 people in three months
