“It's a planetary core drill. We're looking for geothermic channels and trying to see what the planet is made from. Generating too much heat is bad because it can cause the bits to malfunction. When they malfunction they can slide, if they slide it's catastrophic. They need constant cooling at this level of operation.”
“Oh that's perfect. And you're running this alone?”
“Yes well, I know what I'm doing.”
