After leading Musko out of the holding pen the bull soon returned to its place in the field. A few moments further and another bull was brought in. “..This here is Musko’s brother Queso. Been having an occasional bout of the bull runs if you get my drift..” she said. “..Been giving him some local medicine like we always have to treat it, takes a day or two to fully flush their system though..”

Scans once began soon showed the bull did indeed have a bought of digestive infection which was no doubt producing the symptoms described. Evidence also was confirmed that some medicinal applications were at work. Which probably would mean the bull would indeed get cleared up in the next day or so. The only oddity picked up was a small metallic substance in the lower digestive tract.

Buckingham watched with great interest as the readings appeared on the Tricorder. As the infection was identified and the remedy revealed to be working Thomas was just about to tell the woman the results of the scans when the unidentified metallic substance was discovered. He stopped himself and he frowned. Could the animal have eaten something it shouldn’t have, he wondered.

Continuing his scan he made some adjustments on the Tricorder to try and identify more about the foreign object.

Closing in on the foreign object he could find it was made of copper with some kind of refined aluminum and tin mixed in. It was not much more then a quarter of an inch or so square. The object itself was indeed square shaped, and no thicker then a sheet of normal paper perhaps if that. It was possible the bull had ingested the tiny fragment off something bigger that had blown in or something from elsewhere.

OOC: Bump!
