[Recap]
From Fremea: [Re: Actions]
Fremea will use her mana sensing to find the no mana pockets to
see if there is anything that might be what the party is looking
for. She will do more of a quick scan for about 2 minutes and
then move on. Otherwise, while she waits for the party to decide
what they are going to do, she will use her spyglass to look out
to the other side at the caves to see what is there.
GM: Ack.

[New Stuff]
[Augado 10th, 1634TH]
[Location: Middle Katai Plains]
[ Mountains west of Pamau]
[Time: 3:10:43pm]
Once the battle is over the groups divide and search a bit
further the buildings. Those more acute to scholar like
tasks do the searching like Arawn, Chion, Fremea, Kell, Kiet,
Unali and Z'leyra. The others who tend to use more strength
muscle than brain muscle search the outside.
Lin is still gathering his thoughts around the fringes of
his mind. The images were so fast he is still trying to
understand them all. He tries to picture the control device
the outcast mentioned. It seems to be a necklace of some sort
worn by a person. It almost looks like a animal part like
a hand or foot. He adds to the search, "I don't think it will
be here. Likely worn like a necklace. Almost claw or hoof
like."
The bulk of the buildings seem to be research structures
rather than living quarters. Mostly tables, shelves and
odd bits of things. Everything from candles to round
flat objects that hold odd things like fungus or small
bugs. Some places have stores of coral implant growths
that could be attached to animals and humans.
Farseeker whispers to Unali in passing, "the teen girl
and the guy we found. We should assign a guard to them.
We can't just leave them here and its risky to also take
them with us."
Fremea scans the cave using her senses to find possible
Vong things or people. But she finds nothing out of the
ordinary except the pit which is a bit disgusting to even
her.
Ben'dar and Caladan check the barrels and crates to find
water and food. There a couple crates of what looks like
basic supplies like candles, nails and such though the Vong
seem to not use much human devices other than candles.
Z'leyra passes between building #1 and #2 on the north
side of the cave when the human prisoner waves to her.
"I heard there is a hidden place down there." He points
down the aisle between the buildings. The area is about
5-8 feet wide and ends at the north cave wall.
Raban nearby hears this and perks up. He runs over to
help explore the area. With his keen skills on finding
secret doors and traps it should be easy for him.
"Another prisoner told me about it." The nervous
villager speaks to Raban.
At the face of the north wall it seems to be a normal
wall. But Raban begins to scan the rock face to see
if there is something unusual. Within a few seconds he
notices a unnatural groove in the wall to the left.
Fremea landing on building #2 looks eagerly on as Raban
begins to trace the groove. Then Raban slams his gauntleted
arm against the wall and makes a few rocks crumble. Then
with his large fingers he prys open a slide wall of rock.
Raban halts Z'leyra to ensure there is no Vong traps.
Inspecting the rock from all angles there does seem to be
a combination of Vong organic stuff and natural rock. The
Vong organic stuff seems to glue the rock together to form
a 4 foot by 6 foot rock door like threshold. Raban pulls
the rock door outward and quickly moves inside.
A second later a hand waves Z'leyra it is okay to follow.
Inside a smaller cave maybe 20 feet by 10 feet is lined
with boxes, crates, shevles and a couple wooden tables.
Doing a quick survey of the room there are glass jars
of bugs of various types from dormant Razor Bugs to Blue
bugs that control minds to even a small cache of those
bugs used on the map. All sealed and most of the bugs
are in swarms of a dozen to maybe 300 bugs in one jar.
It seems the Shapers were forming a colony of resources
for their invasion.
The tables and shelves also line with coral growths
that look like they could breed more growths and be
inserted in scores of humans. In one flask Z'leyra
finds those pills that seem to counter the coral
implants. Maybe enough pills for 300 people. There
are experiments of Middle World small animals from
insects to lizards with Vong animals. Scores of
glass enclosures that have these experiments One
glass cage seems to have a fox mixed with a possible
Voxyen beast ending up with 6 legs and a longer snout
than normal.
The small cave could take hours to catalog everything
but this is only the quick survey done.
Outside in the outer cave Unali is ticking down the seconds.
At leas 2 minutes have passed searching. Nothing was found
of vital importance and she knows the group may only have 15
minutes left to explore the other 3 caves.

Next Update....Monday...
GM: Congrats to Farseeker +1 CEL. Also +1 EL for Arawn in
Scimitar (the sheet I sent you doesn't have this update
as I just did it). Mana report updated.
GM: A very brief update. I gave 2 min to explore but it
could take hours to really take a study to things
in the science labs. I will move on to cross the
1000' balcony in a fast run for the next update. You
can make plans for that if needed. Was going to do
a bigger update but got a dvd movie at last minute
by brother and had to watch it before tomorrow.
