Having scrubbed clean, changed into a clean uniform, and finally having found some food, Heather sat down at one of the work benches in the science lab. A steaming mug of coffee set just to the side. She was tired, but there was still plenty of work to do.

While she waited to hear back about the alien, they still had their mining mission to review. Perhaps find out why what was blocking their sensors. So the first thing she wanted to do was to review the sensor readings from the other landing party, just to understand better what they encountered. Bringing up the scans she started to review them for anything anomalous, or compared to what she could remember from their own findings within the caves.

OOC: For the sake of centralizing all the planet stuff if you could call the science jo’s/comm folks here it’d help a ton....

Paging through the scan logs over the next 15 minutes, at first most of the causes for scan interference was probably it seemed due in part to the depth they had reached, and/or the natural dilthium and other such deposits. But as 15 minutes turned into 25, she could see there was a recognizable and unnatural pattern at work, in this case any time an unnatural energy source came close to a deposit, or a higher focused scan from the ship or land scanners was focused, there was a noticeable uptick along all scanning bands in interference. She also noted that once the survey drill probes had gotten deeper and close to the bigger deposits and most especially near those which were close to the tunnels/caves that the natives were in or had been in it seemed at some point a different signal became obvious that would play havoc with power sources like the survey drill and rig causing them to quickly burn out.

There was also the low and high end bands of what seemed a comm signal of some sort that the bridged had logged as well. Again the source was not clear but seemed quite spread out around the planetary areas they were in, and seemed to run along similar wavelengths parreling those that the power drain used. The signal thankfully was not too confusing that if they wanted to block it they probably could, or least cause their own interference to it. Maybe the comm signal was used as a communication relay for the power/scan interference?

Once Naomi had put away the samples, she glanced over to Grace and spotted her examining the signals. Casually, she walked over and looked over the CSO’s shoulder.

“So, what did you find?” Her eyes flicked over the work and paused.

“Well, that’s odd. Is it me, or does it seems like someone is messing with the power sources of the gear?” She pointed to the different signal discovered.
