Grudgingly the old fire truck moved, and move it did roughly down the road to the mining entrance which still belched smoke and hints of flame. Nearby the cows were looking more restless tapping hooves and snorting in movements of their head. They clearly were agitated as the fire truck got closer to the mine and in turn themselves.

A new report came in from Black Wolf. =^=Cmdr. Cerny, a new tunnel was recently opened in the mine, designate Alpha-2. Logs show a red ore was discovered. It appears to be highly flammable, perhaps the reason for the burning mine, as well as causing intense skin irritation in humanoids. This is just an assumption, but perhaps it causes some kind of irritation in the cows as well, possibly making them ‘untrustworthy’?=^=

CPO Black Wolf (Helm)

=^= I would agree that is a reasonable assumption to make =^= T’Pria responded over the comms. =^= Thank you for the insight. =^=

For a brief second shifting her focus from the road ahead, T’Pria glanced at the XO and then to the two officers in the back of the truck.
“Is there protective clothing of any kind stored within this vehicle?” she asked, suddenly.

NE Fritz spoke up as the truck continued along. “..Its got some fire retardant gear back here yeah! Why?” He asked.
