gollark: <@!202992030685724675> I think the asteroid base needs reorganization.
gollark: Totally a small hole, I tell you.
gollark: Anyway, just make sure that you don't draw more than a few hundred thousand RF/t (maybe), or touch any piping at all, or the whole thing *may* lose containment and blow a very small hole in the asteroid.
gollark: It means "quite small computer", obviously.
