Having them in town rather than trekking to the ship does make sense."  Once they got to the quarters that they had been given to use. Settling in he changed into some dark cargo pants that were loose enough that he would be able to slip on his flak suit under them when he wanted to. As he looked through the other  clothes that had been given to him he picked out a black muscle shirt and slipped it on covering most of his scarred back while the grey long sleeved shirt he pulled on over it finished the job. He took a long look at the boots and was satisfied with them. They were thick with steel toes  and from the wait he assumed the soles had steel plates in them as well. While the wait would not help him if he needed to run he doubted he would notice the wait after walking around in them for a day.<br/><br/>He left the synthleather coat that reminded him of a duster from an old west movie hanging on his door as he walked back out into the common area. After setting his pack on one of the tables he slipped on a shoulder holster and adjusted it until his pistol sat comfortable in it before slipping into his seat.  He took a quick look through the files but stopped when he found the list of equipment that had been taken from town. The mining equipment  would at least tell them that someone was doing some digging and didn't want to go through proper channels but it only helped them to a point. They still did not know where it might be being used so for all they knew someone was digging a tunnel  right under their feet.  He listened to the other speculating on the fate of the pets that had gone missing as well as Liam's comment about a mining crew for a few minutes as he connected to a large wall screen on one wall and opened up a map of the area then over laid a map of town over that. It took him a few minutes to get the location right but once he did he ran file through a program to convert it into a 3d model.  As he waited for it to do its job he looked up in time to see Mei-Li enter the room and raised an eyebrow as a small smile tugged at the corner of his lips. As Karasu  spoke to the doctor he glanced over and was surprised to see just how well her clothes seemed to fit her. He had rarely seen her without her uniform on and even the few times he had her attire seemed to be just a bit to orderly to be truly casual. Once the two had left he cleared his throat and spoke up. "My guess is that the pets are food for whatever is controlling the miners or if it's cultists then I would agree that they are probably sacrifices." His wrist com gave small chirp drawing his attention away as he looked down to confirm that the file had been converted.<br/><br/>Turning back to his pack he unzipped it and flipped it open noticing that there was already a layer of dust in the zipper and realized any samples he took would be contaminated by the mars dust. He spent the next half an hour with his earbuds in on low as he worked out how far a team of miners could have dug with the drills that had been stolen and then put a half sphere under each shut down mine site then for good measure he did the same under the town just to give them an idea of how far any tunnels might had been dug. As he was looking over the map his eyes trailed  to the elevator then he remembered the ruins of the first settlement and he quickly worked t o add that into his map before loading it onto a shared drive that anyone in the team could access. "We should find out if there are any ways out of the canyon other than the elevator. Also anyone wondering if the miners might actually be up in the ruins of the old settlement?" He leaned back in his chair and set his boots onto the table as he spoke. He had shut off his music but he still pulled out the small ear buds and set them on the table. "There should be a file on the shared drive that contains a composite map of the town and mine site. I calculated how far they could have dug if they are working twenty four seven."<br/>
