ERROR: FAILED TO CONNECT TO INTERNET TIME SERVER.
Ciri (Twinwolf):You heard a sound.
It sounded like a roar, but a very short one. It didn't seem too loud,
You think it might have come from the hole in the ground. The same hole you took the rope from.

Nole removes the body from the Magnus suit and examines it's injuries. He checks the layout of the bodies. Were they just crawling away from the wreck? Or perhaps a more unusual direction? What about the person who was shot? Does it look like they were crawling when they were shot, or standing? Does the suit have any data that Nole can download and reexamine? Are the army uniforms similar to the Frenchies he met before? Or another faction?
The uniforms have a vaguely camo pattern to them. They look like soldiers, not like the Frenchmen at all, whose outward appearances begat a sense of being some kind of crew, not meant for combat. Two of the bodies are oriented away from the tank, and one of these is not wearing a uniform like the others, but is still charred and burnt nonetheless. The next two are pointed toward nothing at all in particular, and seem to be more crippled rather than having crawled. The fifth body, the one with the gunshot to the temple, is on its back, feet pointed in the direction of the Magnus corpse. The Magnus corpse is parallel with the tank. You investigate the suit.
[6] The body isn't in the suit! Curious, you boot up the computer. It appears on your HUD:

Metal Detector
You shoot him.
[3] It is quite a long time before he falls over dead. You don't think you saw a bullet wound either. The helmet certainly didn't crack. But after a couple of seconds he finally collapses in the sand, by the fire, allowing you to search the camp.
[1+1] Any portable items of value has been either looted or destroyed, besides the dead cave snake and a pile of sticks. The computer still works though. Apparently this is shuttle G14, and there was a conversation between this shuttle and the Nole guy earlier. There is an unfinished text message saved as a draft: 'Avoid any soldiers if you find them. Don't trust them, they'll just betray you like they did to us.'
The sticks seem to be made of a white sort of wood, and are very roughly cut. They probably didn't come from the shuttle.

Creepy note
x6 Flashlight
[6] You take two steps forward.
Immediately the ground begins to shake. With a rumble from the cliffside, many tonnes of gravel and ash fall from three rectangular compartments etched into the rockwall.
This reveals nine statues, three in each compartment.
The first three statues consist of a man, a woman, and a horse, both humans wearing rags. The man wields a sickle, the woman holds a plowshare, and the horse wears a saddle.
The statues are clean, and made of a silvery metal polished to a shine, despite being buried in gravel.
The next statues are of a man, a woman, and a space probe. The man and woman both wear space-age uniforms and hold electronic devices. The space probe has a plaque, which reads: "Hermes, Messenger to Antila and Thule. "
The last three statues are of a human in a space-suit, a soldier with a rifle and helmet, and a three-meter long millipede-like creature wearing... a cloak. It has eight tentacles coming from a nexus below the head, each about an arm's length.
