Beaming to the site, they find several areas carved out for the vehicles. The two buggies are totally destroyed, with what look to be bite marks. There is blood and fingernails near the ATV/Tractor which is sending the signal. The power supply is in the back of the cave, linked to the missing three capacitors, and powering a line down a descending cavern. | + | ==== 03 A Snake in the Dust ==== |
