He nodded. Proximity to asteroids was dangerous business as he knew only too well.

"Hmm, seems like a Firefly would have a lot to offer here then. Or at least, some sort of knowledge exchange with my Clan would be worth considering Asako-sama. We've got a lot of accumulated knowledge of near and deep space operations. Has there been a history of impacts on the planet? If you're close to a belt there could be a whole load of unusual ores here on the planet that you wouldn't normally expect to find."

Now that was an interesting thought...

She nodded easily, "Oh, absolutely! There still so much to explore around the system and we'll likely grow more in the future once we can even expand the capability of our orbital stations to host exploration missions in the void. We can discover something from the surrounding asteroid belt, especially when it had been theorized that a great impact might have made life possible. The oceans that surround the landmass here might have been only possible from the melting of one of the poles after a great impact."

"Recently, we are thankfully safe from such impacts to the planet, especially with our defense grid. And there hasn't been an impact of that scale on record, as a possibility or otherwise. I think the worst incident was 15 years ago when a stray asteroid laid waste to Tenzo Ramen House a while back...It hasn't returned since," she gave a grave shake of her head.
