The emptied station was worse than she expected. All reports seemed to say the pirates had done a number, they would have to gut the whole thing. So work began retrofitting the entire station and building all the parts that would be needed to process the many asteroids of the belt. The idea would be that the asteroids would be brought to the specially designed plant that would then attach and mine the ore away and process everything else, essentially devouring the asteroids. Special lasers effectively grabbing the valueble ore and leaving the rest. The resulted wreck of rock would be sent back out into the asteroid field. Everything was moving along, albeit slower than planned.
