Amber’s efforts to scan through the open computer system was easy. She found the following access points for further scans open to her.

1) Colony personal logs
2) Colony administrative logs
3) Colony shipping logs
4) Colony production and mining logs

Amber smiled. “Bingo…” she murmured. “Now… let’s see what we can find. You look promising.” She would start with production and mining. Maybe that would give some insight to the ‘cow’ issue.

Going down the list she would do shipping next, then administrative, then personal logs till she hopefully got some workable results. As the logs were loading, she called out. “I’ve got access to the computer. Looking thru production and mining logs now.”

Kohana again came over to look over her shoulder. “Let’s see if we can pinpoint a time when the bovines became ‘untrustworthy’. Maybe there was some kind of catagion that was released from the mines, or. . . .maybe something was shipped to and released on the colony? Transfer the admin logs to one of the auxilary consoles and I’ll start going through those. Transfer the Personal logs to the navigation console. Mr. Myasnikov, care to do a little research?”

The chief moved to the aux station and began to go over the logs Amber had sent to him.

Nodding, the young woman did as the Helm asked. That left her the production and mining, and the shipping logs to go thru. “We need to look for anything that pertains to the cows, their feed or ‘something’ that came in contact with them that may have altered their activity, or demeanor.” She set to work on her own files as the others got theirs.

Production, mining, and shipping logs came up. Most was fairly normal. Production rate of wine and milk was shown to be slightly up over the past month due to a bountiful local harvest and and improvement in the milking machines. but nothing stood out there. Mining logs showed new tunnels had been tapped into though, one such tunnel designated ‘Tunnel Alpha-2’ had yielded a strange red ore which the local colony scientists had been eager to study. Initial notes in the logs showed it was highly flammable and caused intense skin irritation in humanoids. Shipping logs showed they were on schedule to meet their quota of output for the next incoming cargo ship, though that obviously was held up since the Sentinel was here.
