The commander might not have seen it with the low light and her face be covered but she smiled gratefully at him before shutting the tricorder and readying herself to leave with the others. The others could deal with the smoke her priority was her patient.

Setting his gear down, Jonathan pulled out his own scanner and started another scan of the area, hopefully the downed fighter wasn’t attracting too much attention yet.

So far on scans within a half a mile or so did not show any other approach of people. A few animals were picked up but nothing serious.

Baumann nodded once to the XO and then looked at his two partners. “Shall we?” and he began moving carefully towards the wreckage.

“If we can isolate the flight data recorder, if there is one, it would tell us a great deal. Or perhaps some of the crafts communication array.” he said quietly as they approached the downed jet.

Noami didn’t correct Atozi’s assumption. The make-up kit was to try and cover the blue skin, not her. They didn’t linger long as their XO ushered them to travel toward the downed pilot. She kept her scanner up along their walk, her eyes noted the information and read it off to herself.

As their medical officer read off the pilot’s condition, Naomi flinched at the mention of a concussion. She had one of those before and they were nasty.

Her ears perked up when her name had been mentioned. The Science officer gave a nod and turned to her partners to lead the way.

“Let’s talk as we walk toward the smoke. I’m guessing that’s where our target crashed down at.” She began to start to drift toward that direction in hopes the others would follow her.

“I’m not very knowledgeable about aircraft in general, but it’s likely what we’re looking for is still in the actual plane itself. At least, I’m assuming it is.”

Approaching the downed jet, their hand scanners would ping again showing a rise in the radiation leakage. It wasn’t too high but they probably would not want to linger here too long. They could indeed though find not just the flight recorder but also the comms array. The wreckage was mostly intact surprisingly and if they hauled it out and to a safe locale they could probably do some jury rigging to their scanners and a power pack to get a better read on it.

Baumann looked at Naomi and said “Try and isolate anything you can on the kinds of weaponry that brought this down. I will see to the flight recorder.” He then looked at NE Holstead. “Michael, please see to the comm array. We need it intact, please, so be gentle.” As the big German began combing through the wreckage after the flight recorder he kept his eyes open for any personal effects, pilot log book, or anything else of interest.

Combing through the wreckage the only personal effect he found was a half burned satchel which inside he found half burned up food packs and a picture of what seemed a family in civilian garb.

Naomi agreed, but she had little idea how to gain the information Baumann wanted. With a soft sigh, she approached the first piece of the fallen shell. She ran a few scans over the more heavily damaged sections for material compositions, residue, or other readouts. Anything that might be useful. Part of her wished she had taken a field kit to collect physical samples.

Mentally, she tried to reconstruct the attack from when she spotted the craft fall from the sky.
