Andrew Nightshade found a C3 shattered wormhole right by home in [REDACTED] so we formed a QRF to clear the belts and run a few combat sites for good measure. We had a couple folks log on and a few more who were around. We shipped into Dive-A-Buff, ending up with a solid fleet. We took ~220MN in blue loot and salvage and ~150MN in ice over about two hours.

Meanwhile, our miners were gobbling up ice as fast as they could. With our guns to (kind of) protect them, they rushed an impressive pile of ice out over the course of the op. Mining is a mystery to me, so I'll defer to Andrew to add more bits of frosty wisdom.
After about two hours, we had cleared everything that we could fight except a pair of gas sites. The hole also was closing on us *and* couple of new containers appeared on DSCAN so we decided to call the op. Overall, good money for the combat wing and an excellent chance for our ice miners to grab up some ice. Good times.
What went well:
- -Almost everything, really.
-The combat squad was able to open the ice belts for the miners. We formed up on short notice, got the pilots we needed and cleared sites successfully.
-The ice miners hauled in a lot of ice.
-We got a talocan for a nice ~50MN bonus.
-No surprises in Bob's space. May we be so lucky on Sunday!
- -Uhh... I guess the ISK/hour would have been higher for the combat folks if we had just done the ice belt and skipped the ore belts...
