SENJO<br/><br/>On entering what was clearly a vehicle workshop I heard Sergeant O'Shay refer to the colonists departing in a hurry. I stopped, bracing my feet under my heavy load and scanned carefully around. Not only were all the hand tools and smaller power tools absent but the racks that had signs on designating spare parts storage were also almost empty.<br/><br/>Why would the colonists strip a repair shop of tools? What use could they be elsewhere? My mind ran through the logical options. Only two came up with any probability of being a relevant answer.<br/><br/>They required them to work on something elsewhere - which would evidently not be vehicles and,<br/><br/><em>weapons. They used them as weapons.</em><br/><br/>The bay was stripped clean. This wasn't the work of panicking people in a hurry, more like a methodical strip-down of essential resources needed elsewhere. The spares might include crawler or truck body panels. Useful for... my mind examined possibilities again.<br/><br/><em>Barricades.</em><br/><br/><strong>"Leftenant"</strong>I called out loudly,<strong>"My view is this workshop has been stripped clean to build defences elsewhere in the complex. The arc welders are not here, oxy-acetylene cylinder trolleys absent,"</strong>I said calmly, still casting my gaze slowly about the room.<br/><br/>(http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk137/HaibaneR/Senjo-01.jpg)<br/><br/>The scenario of in-fighting between a loyal and a rebellious segment of the colonists or a terrorist attack held more weight again.
