Bor gave a slight grunt at Ford’s reply, “..Normally yes they could, but when half your investigating force also vanished in follow ups I think its time to call in heavier guns and more skilled folks dont you agree?” Bor said. Waving the matter off he took a breath, “..A few weeks ago we opened up new veins in the dilthium and lithium mines nearby, quite rich veins as it turned out. We mined a bit deeper and found they opened into a vast underground cavern, the first two mining teams that went in reported odd flickers on their equipment, power shortages, malfunctions, but we had been working the equipment hard so the team leads thought nothing too much of it. A bit later as they were examining the cavern we got the following comm burst after a ground tremor shook the mines and the colony area here.” He said nodding to Garmin to load up the data tape.

”..I’m sure that was team lead Cur, my cousin, for team 1. They were investigating a side shaft which seemed to show signs of some kind of energy emissions similar to low key fusion generation..” He said then Garmin spoke up.

”..Constable Barrack took half our security force down the mines with several volunteers for a rescue, we figured they hit a pocket of gas that was causing hallucinations after the tremor. They were armed but also equipped for emergency rock cave in rescues. They never reported in after entering the cavern and we don’t got the man power or experiences to keep sending people down there blindly.” Garmin explained.

”..We’ve also been having intermittent equipment problems up here too lately usually before or after another tremor rolls through the area, such hasnt been a problem till the first disappearances..” Bor said.

George was quiet throughout the explanation. There was clearly something strange going on, perhaps native aliens deep in the crust of the planet? Or something more sinister than that. He had no way of knowing, but he looked forward to finding out.

Ford furrowed his brow again. “That’s a lot of missing people, and I don’t like that message.” He turned to Roman. “Think we could get some rifles beamed down from the Sentinel?” The copper-tubed type 3 rifles were a rare use, but Ford was now getting worried.

“Some additional scans from the ship would be good too.”

He turned back to the administrator. “Anything else we should know before we head into the mines ourselves?” he asked.

COS Ford

”..The mines were quiet and stable till recently. Since the troubles we closed them off and have a posted constable squad nearby lead by Deputy Obrine. His squad are the only ones left who want to be near the mine for our safety..” Bor said.
