Whee PI chron!

Also, eggerwhims:

Its operations were regulated according to policies that Kanen had never really understood. Sometimes the crew was worked harder than usual, and sometimes ... well, sometimes nothing. They always worked hard. It was a question of calluses versus actual cuts.

[Saede Riordan]

not PI, its an Asteroid colony.

[Casiella]

It's not PI, because it's an asteroid colony.

AND WOW. Nikita posted almost the same words but beat me to it!

Since when do asteroids have magma?

Since nao, its a big rock

storywise, it was very good, this quote from the chronicle:

The hardest part in anyone's life isn't the crises they encounter, and if someone tries to tell you different, it says more about their lack of spine than it does about whatever problems they've had. Anyone can have a problem, or make mistakes, or suffer a goddamn breakdown. The question isn't what happened to you or what scars life inconsiderately raked over your hide - it's what you did after. How you got up again.

really, really resonates with me, in fact, all the italic sections just hit a chord, ya know?

[Casiella]

Yeah, there were a few lines (including those) that had me sighing and letting my mind wander, especially over events in my personal life over the last year or three.

You crashed a mining drill into a crowd of people?

Duuuude.

[Casiella]

That's... classified. >.>

Basalt, which implies magma, has been detected on some asteroids in the solar system. So it's not nonsense by any means.

Indeed, I would have thought that on larger asteroids, tending to be formed by accretion, magma would have been present at some point in their geological history.

Glorious planetary science and astrophysics, how I have missed thee.

I'm guessing this is a planetoid that is in the younger stages of formation from the planetary nebula. Not all starsystems are equal in the EVE universe after all, as the Lava planet description implies, young planets do exist.

[Z.Sinraali]

Thanks for pointing that out, Cosmo.

So the answer to my poor query, finding itself suddenly and chasteningly transformed from a sarcastic crack to a curious seriosity, is about 10 million years after the formation of the solar system.

Hmm...

[Louella Dougans]

what about asteroids created through planet/comet collisions? Or... shattered planets liek Seyllin?

[Kimochi Rendar]

Hmm... It was alright, but it didn't really go anywhere.

Dude comes back to a mining colony several years after causing an accident which killed lots of people. Checks in with the boss, talks to some slimy guy who wants his job and says sorry to the wife of one of the people he injured.

And that's about it.

Some of the 'monologue' bits were quite good, but aside from that the whole chron seems a bit pointless - unless it's the first part of a series or something.

I dunno, am I missing something here?

Word.

(And ditto.)

"I want you gone," Betel repeated, "but there's rumors of Sansha coming in, so we've got the usual panicky flights off-base, and the capsuleers have wrecked nearby colonies to the point where we can't pull in new teams."

The combination of Sansha raiding and PI is beginning to play hell with the economy to the point that 'ordinary' mining corporations will risk making unpopular personnel decisions just to stay in business?
