The empty box revealed nothing to Colleen, only that the modules were gone. Whoever had taken them did not appear to have left any physical evidence.

Colleen returned to her office to report the findings.

Colleen returned the central module and contacted General Pryce from her station in Communications. He told her to meet him in the Command Center, where she found him alone.

Colleen headed for his office. "Colleen Rose, reporting for duty," she says, trying to sound unconcerned.

The general returned Colleen's salute and listened as she reported her findings. "Well, that was to be expected, I suppose," he said. "I didn't think the traitor would leave the spares, but we had to check. Your best bet to uncover the saboteur would be to investigate the crew and find out who has a motive to betray us. Most of them are at the medical lab right now to see the alien that Captain Desjardins brought back. Lt, Hu, Private Torres, and Private Bond are in the astrophysics lab analyzing the alien's weapon. Other than yourself, the only one I trust for certain is Lt. Colonel Bruce, and unfortunately the aliens have taken him. In his absence, Sergeant Heinrich Kohl is in charge of security. If you can rule him out as a suspect, you may use your best judgment as to whether or not to take him into confidence and enlist his aid. Is there anyone in particular who has aroused your suspicions yet?"

"Not yet, sir. No. I think I'll go observe the others in the medical lab. With the current dangers, the saboteur might be having second thoughts about stranding himself or herself near this unknown alien colony."

"Unless, of course, he or she is working with the aliens," pointed out General Pryce as Colleen left. "On your way, Lt. Rose. Keep me apprised, please."

Colleen left the general's office and made her way to the laboratory module.
