Brainstorming conference

[Interstellar Beacon]

---

People checked their portable terminals, looking through data. A lot of whispers and talks started to sound from every corner, groups of people discussed different ideas they agreed with each other to say them aloud:

Q -"Can we hire a transporting company from there to delivery required goods for us to here?"

A - "We could, but delivery costs would make a dent in our budget. Considering the range between two houses... this just would not work. We would be asked to pay too much for being anything left for us in the future."

Q - "What if we build a new station there?"

A - "That would not work too. Considering we have no credits to afford it, no resources to divide our attention, and adding to the bag terrorists who would destroy any beginning construction. The chances for survival of the new base are extremely low and building takes months, while we need to make it is working now, while the economy is temporally stable."

Q - "What if we sell the current station and we get credits and time from it to build a new one?"

A - "The idea has some merit, but we face the same problems once again. Terrorists could destroy our new efforts to build something. We can't take such a move."

Q - "What if we just move our station to there?"

A - "How do you even propose to do it? The station has no engines, and it would not fit into trade lanes or jump gates to transport it! Moving through jump holes is not an option as well, they are too small and unstable to even attempt it."

Raul Golden looked around if someone has a new idea, looking from face to face and expecting some path being found.
