A TEO fleet sets down on the most stable of the Shards of Shard, and immediately starts unloading troops, mining Tunnelers with their particle beams, and various colonization paraphernalia. Clearing all the people away from a large area, a Cinere-B in orbit fires it's massive particle beam. Instant mineshaft. The Tunnelers begin expanding it and making subsidiary mines, while the troops help expand colonization equipment and begin attempting to secure the Shards to each other.
