[Captain Gwen] Whew, this is taking way longer than I expected. We haven’t even gotten to a proper miner yet, but we’re almost there.
[Misha] First we made the power pole a little stronger.
[Engineer Misha] Then we spent some time designing the miner
[1st Officer Ashley] It smells like a Bear but it didn’t involve him and in fact he doesn’t approve of it. The issue is, Gwen wanted to put wings on it but it’s meant to be in tight spaces and wings would really not help that. So why not put drills on the end of wings? Well no because often the ore veins are thin and if you did that you’re just sucking up stone.
[Captain Gwen] Inside it doesn’t look at all like I wanted it to. 
There’s lots of time to fix that though.
[Captain Gwen] Before we go too far, I want to move operations closer to the ore. So that’ll be a huge effort.
[Engineer Misha] This could take a while. First, let’s build that miner!
