Commander Wil Ukinix, Lieutenant Ceciri Ariadust, Lieutenant JG Scotty Reade, and Ensign Bec Iko were assigned to rendezvous with Michael Rubio, a representative from the miners to directly assess the situation aboard the Defiance Class USS-Independence B<ref name="Vataix-Providence"></ref>. According to Rubio, the miners colloquially refer to the difficult-to-detect nuisance animals as space cows or mo-mo’s<ref name="Iko-Questionable">[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/cwfpmRAFVYQ/m/NnHzEZeAAgAJ "Questionable Mo-Mos"], [[Rebecca Iko]], [[Amity Outpost]]</ref>.

Arriving aboard the Poseidon Mining Rig, the crew began talks with the miners in order to learn how the creatures’ might be peaceably dissuaded or distracted from interfering with the miners’ operations<ref name="Ariadust-Ideas">[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/FXibl_RWX9A/m/tJIp8PCUCQAJ "Ideas"], [[Ceciri Ariadust]], [[Amity Outpost]]</ref>.

Meanwhile, Ambassador Rivi Vataix, Lt.

The meeting was swiftly interrupted by Luminary Prarim, a religious leader and representative for a nomadic people called the Hawlat, who claimed the creatures were culturally significant to the Hawlat, referring to them as “Angels”<ref name="Vataix-Providence2"></ref>.

As these initial forays came to a close, Amity’s resident journalists, Arthur Summerside and Kiyaini Ri’zella, each published articles concerning the ongoing predicament. Ri’zella’s article for the Federation News Service (FNS) was titled “Amity Tested As Mining Operations Grind To A Halt”<ref name="Rizella-Amity">[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/r7egQZfbkHw/m/HJ4V0dVSAwAJ "Amity Tested As Mining Operations Grind To A Halt"], [[Ceciri Ariadust]], [[Amity Outpost]]</ref> and Summerside’s, for the Briori Sun, was titled “Federation’s Benamite Mines - Touched By An Angel?”<ref name="Summerside-Federations">[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/bVT0UfsY2PY/m/aKRCwJfeCQAJ "Angel's Guardians"], [[Kivik]], [[Amity Outpost]]</ref>.
