gollark: We could probably use the TBM to do tunnelling and deploy rails, then deploy rail removers and put in the ice, then run rails again beside the ice strip.
gollark: Oh, wait, we could just actually use rails *and* ice maybe?

gollark: (well, packed ice)
gollark: With ice. We wanted a cool name.
