Artemis, the last picture of yours didn't show up on my monitor, so I'm adding a pic of my own. This is asteroid 951 Gaspra:

I'm glad that you are back with the story. This part was very "technical", where you carefully explained the asteroid thing. I really like the inclusion of the picture of the orbits of the near-Earth asteroids.

Looking forward to more of this fic, and looking forward to more of its B-plot!
