[Excerpt from a book about building the moonbase, by Parker H. Barnes]

Refitting the old Axiom facility presented significant challenges. The original tenants were not concerned with research, or, for that matter, safety. This was exclusively an industrial operation, where workers labored and slept amid hazardous equipment and materials.

The miners were a hardy lot, and showed great ingenuity at keeping the place habitable. Unorthodox shielding, air scrubbing and pressurization systems kept them functional, but no more. The sweatshop environment did not feature the necessities and comforts that we at TranStar value so highly.

Our first objective in the refit was a massive upgrade of life support systems, converting their only surface structure into our current crew living quarters. This provided us with a base from which we could build the lab from the ground up.

We determined that placing a dome over the crater would be much simpler than tunneling out a cavernous testing ground. Then we began upgrading spaces with the style and comfort that would attract and retain world-class talent.
