Sadface! Janked up locks on laser access hatch. If you have any information please contact Devon, we just want to find how to prevent this from happening again.

There will be a public thread asking about the incident (very nicely) How can we prevent this from happening in the future.

Someone may have tried to open it with a different key.

Devon doesn't think so.

Camera system is difficult to work with. Devon explains that it took about 2 1/2 hours to view stuff...there's no way to export it anywhere.
