Radiation residue. . . interesting. And if the math in his head was right (which it was) then whatever made this hole in the ground came from elsewhere and at incredible speed. Kovan moved away from the explosion sight to follow the dwindling trail of residue with his tricorder. He was certain this was some kind of energy blast. As far as he could see there was no shrapnel or any kind of indication that something solid and tangible hit this area. But then where did it come from? And why did it hit here?

Kovan returned to the explosion sight and studied the radiation further. Understanding the radioactive residue left behind by their strange energy blast could help them uncover what could have caused this damage to begin with.

Unfortunately because the form of radiation was not something he was familiar with in known science he could not gleam much more from the tricorder scans. Perhaps in this case it was just a clue on something on this planet he could take note of and use later perhaps. So far at this point it clearly was not something which he could tell was related to the warp pulse that had drawn them to this planet, nor did it match anything within the Abyss that they had seen in orbit yet. For now it was perhaps best they either check out the cave, or else return the way they had come and go towards Valiki.

Approaching the footsteps print in the ground, Alwyn managed to make a quick tricorder scan and tried to analyze them in order to find any DNA residue. if anyone have witnessed the explosions, they had to find it quickly. Plus, having the opportunity to study an unknown human-shaped species was a bit of excitement for the young doctor. Even if it wasn’t essential for the missions, it was still important for the scientists and himself.

Scans of the DNA were complete, they seemed consistent with the local planet’s lifeforms so far detected. But no exact match came up. So it was probably another type of species or group of species they had yet to encounter. With this in hand though they could use it to track with the tricorder, so far the path of the group of prints and DNA all led into the nearby caves.
