D. Gethart - Recovered Data

To: Ava Skenning From: Dennis Gethart Subject: Server Assessment 2945.09.23 14:11SET Hi Ava, I went through the data logs from the server and managed to put together a rough timeline of events that led up to the crash. I know the initial speculation was criminal sabotage, but based on this, it looked like worker negligence. Sad as it is to say. Anyway, I’ve attached a series of files to help illustrate my points and so you don’t have to sift through three million lines of data text. **/Excerpt_1 ATTACHED/** I’ve pulled together some sample readings from the Power Distribution logs. As you can see, over the past year, the station has been suffering from sporadic power drains. Maintenance reports theorized that there was a power drain somewhere, but to me, it looks like faulty switchers. These 2920’s were notorious for power flow issues. **/Excerpt_2 ATTACHED/** So here is the initial stress test that Darnell Ward ran the day of the incident. Everything after <i>RUNPROTOCOL stresstest_v3.dnn</i> is the test taking effect. Everything looks good, right? Then, and I haven’t figured out why yet, but a few hours later (and in the middle of the stress test) he runs this <i>all_monitor_silence.dnn</i> protocol. Maybe he was trying to bring monitoring systems offline to see if they were causing the drain. I don’t really know. Anyway, it was a stupid move, because he basically removed his only way to see that the power plant was about to go critical. I’ll keep digging and keep you apprised. Dennis
