The whole group, surprised by the ongoing event, lower their weapons but remain in a snap-fire position.
“What the hell...”
“Tell me about it.”
“I will try to talk with it.”
"Talking didn't save these people, and they'd have been down here for a long time if they taught it how to do that. Be careful, everyone."
"Don't fuck up, kid."While Michelle approaches the queen, Ahroni investigates the nearby corpses.
Michelle gestures towards her teammates, while calling out their names before introducing herself.
"I am Michelle and we mean you no harm we are merely doing a reconnaissance and scouting Mission it is nice to meet you genuinely."The queen looks at Michelle, before making the same pointing gesture at everyone.
“Reynar….. Velane……Aroni…… Mari….. Michel ”Then she looks at the nearby corpses, where Ahroni can be seen poking his finger in one of the skulls and points at them.
“Who…...?”Meanwhile Ahroni returns to the group and shares his discovery.

Ahroni Yahat (The Ensorceler) "Talking didn't save these people, and they'd have been down here for a long time if they taught it how to do that. Be careful, everyone."
Examine the bodies for ID and search through their gear to get a better idea of why they were here and how they died.
(-) Before Michelle starts talking, you whisper a few words to the group.
Everyone was already tensed up, you didn’t make it much better. You decide to smartly use what could very well be your final moments, to uncover the fate of the deceased humans and possibly reveal what kind of future awaits you. Disregarding of how vicious it may be.
You crouch near the skeletons and look for any clues.
The remains are covered in the same goop as seen all around you, you don’t know what it does but it somehow aids in the digestion of flesh. Some of the bones are broken, indicative of the free fall from above. You are unsure though if that’s what killed them.
[Perception check: Medium difficulty {9 against 10 = Roll (6)! Check passed!}]While looking at the ribcage, you spot some bullet shrapnel lying under it. You grab the pieces, and these are clearly bullets which have struck their target. You inspect the 2 other corpses and find similar casings. One of the corpses has a hole in the side of the skull. You poke around, in the skull and manage to grab some more pieces alongside with some rotting brain.
Distasteful. It looks like they might have died prior to arriving here. Shot by someone. There is nothing else to work with. There are no weapons, armor, or any gear for that matter. Just shredded clothing. This puts you slightly more at ease, but the situation is still tense.
Reynard "Crimson Lightning" Durant (Hawk132) Reynard lowers his A-V4, but keeps his body in a combat-ready position.
"Don't fuck up, kid."
Let Michelle talk.
