"Understood, sir," he replied as he started moving slowly toward the compound eyeing his tricorder.

Then, Liridian turned towards the security people.� "I want you to keep an eye
out for anything unusual, and let me know immediately."

Both security people nodded but didn't say anything.

The readings came from inside one of the buildings in the ruined base camp.
One of the more structurally sound buildings.� The readings appeared on all
tricorders that scanned the village.

"Okay, Mr. Caimlyn, since medical is your specialty, go check out the
readings.� I am going to proceed towards the buildings and see if there is
anything I can find out."

Caimlyn did not like how faint the lifesigns were.� He picked up the pace as he walked toward the readings.� It took him a while to get a fix on the exact location, but he moved in as quickly as possible once he found the location.

He finds a building that was probably a lab, when it was in better condition. The bodies were lying on the floor in the middle of the room, hidden by a lab bench. They were hurt pretty bad- broken ribs, dislocated shoulder, badly bruised... Nothing fatal in and of itself, but in combination with the other injuries equalled trouble. From the quickest of looks it appeared as if they were beaten during an interrogation after the camp was over run, then left to die of their injuries in the slowest and most painful of ways. Considering that they were not dead, and that some of the easier injuries were taken care of (broken bones splinted, dislocations put back in place and braced...) indicated that there were others there. Perhaps they left at the sound fo newcomers. Or perpahs they were out gathering supplies- water and food.
