[By now it's clear that the attackers have fled the scene, scattering in several directions of the Dead Zone. All is safe, and at least the giraffes have stopped running in panicked circles.

The attackers certainly left their mark, leaving behind a trail of destruction that can be traced back to the site of the monolith's crash. Smoke still billows out as the fires die out, but there seems to be no sign of life among the debris.

What is that thing? You now know that whatever it is, it's responsible for bringing those creatures to Terre Haute. While the giraffes return to their "normal" lives and others begin to pack up for travel, there may not be another chance to explore the crash site. If you want to explore it, now's the time.]

[Bond had come over at the sound of gunshots, gun naked in his hand. When he realizes what had happened he sheaths it with a smirk]

Making sure?

[luxe_can_kill]

Not exactly. I'm trying to learn about their anatomy. Some of them managed to get away, so I have this feeling our paths would cross again in the future.

[What is it with people trying to learn about the things they'd killed. They're dead. We know how to kill them. What else do you need to know? He frowns.]

Unless that translates to killing them more effectively I'm not interested, thank you. I'd be more interested in learning more about that armor than their anatomy.

[luxe_can_kill]

I was getting to that...

[Mitsuru pokes at the armor, and tried to slide the edge of her dagger across it. She covers her nose while she does it]

It's definitely something like chitin. It tougher than any ballistic fibers we have in our world... If we meet any of them again, we might need more powerful firearms. And armor-piercing ammunition.

[last_rat_standing]

I'm sorry, chitin?

[No matter, he gets the point]

That can be arranged. Armor-piercing bullets are more effective, anyway.

[luxe_can_kill]

I suppose that is something we should have in the next expedition.
