I'm still trying to wrap my head around what it is we're detecting and figure out something smart to suggest about it before I say anything.
Angcuru, since our assigned landing spot and the settlement are (amazingly) near each other then we must be getting closer and closer. Can Arley detect the ship itself and the settlement's buildings? If so can our fancy sensors detect the hyperdrive engine aboard and the size and number of buildings in the settlement? I'd like to hazzard a guess as to how many people may be living there.
Edit: If you're anxious to post Kemrain, perhaps you could say something about the troop transport transmission you intercepted and their intended mission to wipe out the settlers or perhaps your theory on what's going on...

It's up to the GM if he wants to make this make things conveniently coincidental in his campaign; I don't mind if it helps move the plot along. I just play my characters with the assumption that things aren't going to automatically work out to his benefit; I prefer to reason through a situation as if I were actually there myself.
So, are we picking up the ship itself and the buildings of the settlement yet? Does the ship appear to be powered up or crashed and non-functional?
Edit: Sorry, I hadn't seen your updated IC post. So we're not detecting any buildings at all; just a huge clearing in the forest? I'm not sure I understand; the sensors are telling us the Dawnsprinter is there but not detecting the ship? Can the sensors determine whether there's a hidden underground complex in which the ship is concealed?

There are no power signatures, no nothing from the ship. Just a transponder signal. The ship's sensors at this range are designed to detect resources: forests, ore deposits and suchlike. It could be that there is no metal used in any buildings present in the settlement.
Complex and confusing, yes. You'll understand when you get there.

Your sensors have given you all the information they can thus far. They've been modified to detect natural resources, complex machinery and whatnot. To be perfectly clear on what's there, you'll probably have to get within visual range. Feel free to comment on the odd readings, however.

Would the sensors detect the ship or a large underground metalic structure if it were buried under the ground? We were ordered to execute a "deep crust scan" so I imagine the sensors would be capable of it. Is it possible that there is some kind of masking field around the settlement or ship? Does such a thing exist in the SW universe? If so could I try to pierce it with the sensors? R-LE-1 has decent Computer Use skill if it's an opposed check. If none of that will work I'll just wait until the Deepscan's tele-optic sensors can show us a real-time view of the site. If the ship doesn't have any such enhanced visual sensors then Arley will just look out the front window and use its own built in telescopic vision sensors and Spot skill (+6) to see what's there ASAP.
As for posting, I still don't have much to say aside from the fact that I've detected a seemingly empty clearing. I'll wait until I have something useful to say.
