Harper nods again. "That's pretty much it." He never means to find trouble, it just has a habit of finding him and he just makes it worse.

"I'd say it is. You're going directly into the core of a planet, never a good option if you want it too all stay stable. Sure, it's gonna start small but it's only going to get worse. Here's hoping we get to be on the shuttle off this rock by the time that starts to build to a point that you don't want to be in an orbit close by. There are better ways of getting geothermic energy but we're just a little bit ahead of this." Fracking, he'd heard of but he didn't know many that would try doing that any more. Technology had just moved on.
