Quite a number. Mei-Li couldn't help but smile - just a little - at the distinct *thwack* of the dope-slap; If she happened to catch Jay's eye at that moment, it'd be a rare moment of feminine unison!<br/><br/>She laid a finger against her cheek, pondering the issue - Last seen at the sites...Well, the obvious answer would be that it was *something* at the sites that'd made them go missing. You had to wonder exactly what they'd dug up...Or what had found *them*. At least the townfolk had the right idea - And at least this would keep them out of the way!<br/><br/>"-We could use both the personnel profiles of the missing miners...And the details of the site, of course. Maps, scans - Anything you have. Every little bit helps." While it'd appear to be a gesture of inter-service magnamity - so that the locals wouldn't feel entirely useless! - Mei-Li's reason for asking was rather more practical; when you were dealing with an unknown like this, knowing the layout of the mines would be useful.<br/><br/>"Come to think of it...Have there been any - Well, unusual - incidents at the sites, recently?" Her slim shoulders lifted in a little shrug, letting the question hang in the air - "Two months ago...Did anything happen back then?" She was still working through it; though she had to admit, it was probably a long shot. Hindsight was 20/20, but if you didn't know what you were looking for...The warning signs would be all too easy to miss!<br/><br/>She'd be careful to avoid any references to killings - or gruesome fates, in general - for now. While she didn't think they'd ever find the miners again...There was no reason to bluntly state the obvious.
