"Somehow, this makes matters even more confusing." Kaen said, lost in thought. "The lack of checkmarks next to the officials is worrying. What are they signifying?" He paces slightly, trying to determine any possible scenario that the evidence could support. "It can't just be a headcount, because otherwise it wouldn't be here; it'd be wherever the colonists are now. Could the officials have gathered the colonists for something untoward that killed or otherwise got rid of all of them? If so, how'd they overpower that many people; the colonists would greatly outnumber them. And why is the list in the mayor's home instead of the government building? Nothing is adding up."
