Steven scanned the information on the padd quickly even as the Admiral continued. He continued to listen intently, following what she was telling him. >"Further analysis of the dirt on the combadge suggests that it came from, or at >least was found, in what was an old, derelict mine. Possibly an asteroid or >dead planetoid of some kind. The mineral content was consistent with a >number of planetary bodies and asteroid fields. Our analyst suggests that >someone had taken it apart to use components of it for reasons unknown. >He suggested that the missing components could have been used to repair >another communicator or to construct another device." "It could possibly have been both the repair of another communicator and construction of another device. I'm going to have to look into the analysis of what remains of the communicator and see if there is anything I can figure out in that regard. Were you informed as to whether there was any genetic evidence found in the combadge to determine who might have taken the communicator apart? Depending on whether or not any carbon-14 was also found, it may help in determining whether it was Commander Kagan who took it apart, or whether it was someone else who is also among the missing personnel, and possibly how long ago." [response?] "Did the informant Admiral Garibaldi sent to you mention either where she got the comm badge, or where the port where the Federation starship was docked? It could be a place to start." [reply?] Liridian out. "A proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It's a proof. A proof is a proof.
