The extent of damage is unknown at this time although the case was reported as cracked. The contractor who possesses the device, TRIAD out of Morgantown, WV, has dispatched a technician to the site to assess the damage.

Following this survey the RSO will package the gauge and transport it to Triad's facility. Notified R1DO (D. Silk) and NMSS EO (L. Psyk).
