A.Skenning - Recovered Data

To: Ava Skenning From: Ava Skenning Sub: Preliminary Findings 2945.09.23 15:46SET <b><<< EXECUTIVES ONLY: NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION >>></b> Incident Report #GJC-99091 To members of the Executive Team, I am in the process of preparing a complete summary, but wanted to give you a high level overview of our findings. On 2945-08-27, Covalex Station Gundo suffered a catastrophic system overload which triggered an explosion that resulted in the deaths of sixteen employees and millions in structural damage. Initial investigation into the station’s server logs found that one of the Maintenance workers (WARD, DARNELL File#438956) had been running stress tests throughout the day to address a power runoff issue. System login indicates that Ward attempted another stress test at 1400 SET on day of accident, but didn’t ever turn the system off. Station systems went critical without the local failsafes and an explosion was inevitable. Reviewing Ward’s personnel file indicated that he’d had addiction issues in the past and had even been suspended previously for negligence. Though supervisor reviews indicated he’d cleaned up since his return, our teams found evidence that he slipped back into bad habits shortly before the accident. To perform our due diligence, we’ve exhausted other potential causes, but this one seems to be the most likely. As I mentioned, I’m still compiling my final report, which you will have when I make my presentation to the board.
