Missing Hard Drives = Missing Nuclear Secrets

A pair of hard drives from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico have gone AWOL. The hard drives are no typical data storage devices however, they happen to contain nuclear secrets amongst other sensitive data. Officials report that they have been missing since June 1st, when a forest fire caused the building to be evacuated. They doubt that espionage is involved in this case, but remain very serious in the search for the materials. The two drives were used by the Nuclear Emergency Search Team, which is trained to respond to nuclear emergencies in the United States. The hard drives were stored in the highly secured "X Division" where nuclear researchers do their work.
