Great Scott. Almost-snap!
(It's the scenario for which my stuck moon-mining yarn is distant
backstory. The heroine, and the first serious defence against
the Mysterious Enemy, are both encountered on Vesta. As to what
happens when both sides are trying to co-ordinate an unorthodox
war across the whole main Belt... well, I'd just like a tool of
that kind, that's all. I'd really rather not have to do it the
hard way!)
