The last entry from before the gap was from a survey team who were investigating a series of caves discovered on the outskirts of the colony boundary then there was a gap of 10 days before logs started up again, just after the survey teams had left the planet. The explanation given for the gap in the logs had been a large electric storm which had fried their computers and survey equipment, losing the logs from their systems.

“Hmm,” Nevin said quite puzzled wonderring if log entries after that detailed some of what the survey team had found and where the caves were in relation to the colony itself.

“It might be a longshot but perhaps we should visit those caves, after we link up with the Captain” The Icelandic giant said after a moments thought “until we hear back from the other teams we won’t know exactly what’s going on by looking at incomplete records”

“Let’s give the doctors some space to do their work,” Nevin said, “Commander, Lieutenant. Walk with me.”

-Akorem

Lucas double checked that everything was well in hand before turning and followed the XO.

Once around a corridor and out of earshot of any of the colony’s staff Nevin stopped and turned to face the other two officers that were with him.

“I’ve seen data blocks missing like that before, it was too clean. The data was never wiped by a natural phenomenon,” Nevin said in a low and hesitant voice. Sigmundsson would have also seen similar data gaps when he was looking into Nevin’s past.

Peter narrowed his eyes slightly at the Commanders mention of having seen such wipes before. Ever since he started his investigation with Kara a few weeks ago he’d mistrusted the man, this was not helping.

“This colony was to be established on an uninhabitted world and they spent an aweful long time looking for one. What if…” Nevin stopped speaking as an NE walked around the corner. He simply raised his eyebrows hoping that MacKenzie and Sigmundsson would understand what he was suggesting.

He continued after the NE had passed, “If the data wipe was deliberate and the caves were someone’s home; then someone knew.”

-Akorem

Peter nodded “It does seem more probable than the given reason” He said quietly “But who here has been long enough to be aware of such a secret?” He asked “If we’re right and this is some non-corporeal lifeform haunting these people the information we need to understand it lies with whoever was here”

CIO

“You can narrow that list down further. There aren’t many with the skills and motive,” Nevin replied, “Tread carefully and try not to offend anyone. This line of investigation is based on conjecture. I would rather find evidence to prove I am wrong, but we only have to look at the Ba’ku incident to know that not everyone has the same respect for the Prime Directive.”

-Akorem

Peter crossed his hands. The Commander was right of course, as the Prime Directive was only Starfleets GEneral Order one it had no bearing over Federation Citizens and he’d known more than a few officers who disregarded or completely ignored the vital principle of Starfleet Life “Quite right” He looked at the Security Chief “You have any experience in investigations such as this?” He asked straight forward, he hadn’t had time to look into McKenzie at all before this mission so the question was genuine.

CIO

Lucas nodded his head slowly as thoughts raced through his mind. He deliberated for another moment before he responded, “We can further narrow the list as it would require someone of particular technical expertise to scrub data in such a manner as to make it appear a fault due to a natural cause. Do we have a roster of who all is resident in this colony and what skill sets they have?”
