She absently rested her deceptively delecate looking fingers on her web belt and cocked her head slightly, "I'm here as a member of the command staff, until there is some indication of a crime, I'm only here to observe. This is of great concern to the colony as a whole since if one container could be opened or misplaced, others of more immediate supplies could also be missing."<br/><br/>She listened to the list of items missing, if the lasers were as low powered as they sounded... and lasers were not viable as weapons without some direct links to the reactor,she was inclined to believe him. "Professor, were the containers themselves missing, or just the items from the container? Each container should of labeled and it's contents added to the manifest with the labeling number."<br/><br/>She thought for a moment, "Couldn't you use some of the refined materials from the old probes and roavers out on the surface? There's several tons of the old junk laying about, but it should all be in more or less prestine shape after decades."
