"Installation" is the operative word in this case;
it's on Jack Old Ron's asteroid "homestead".
 
Reminds me of the fighter jock who thought it'd be a
lark to see how close he could get to Jack Old Ron's
place in an experimental stealthed fighter. Which he
did *NOT* have permission to take outside the secure
test zone.
 
No chance of any fragments getting into the wrong hands!
And the wake was one hell of a party.  8-)
 
The Reynolds Consortium grounded the other FJs who helped
set up the "experiment" for 6 months. Had to let up when
two of them emmigrated; can't afford to lose them.  ;-)
