Searching through the first tent, David and Geoff find various bits of clothing, personal items, things of that nature. As the two begin the process of tearing it down for travel, David uncovers a journal of some sort. As he goes to show it to Geoff, McCullough replies on the comlink.

"Go ahead and put it into a pile, we'll see if we can find a way to get it back to Liberty's Fortune. If not, I may have to convince Rasheed to bring the ship here. Unless..." He pauses for a moment and you can barely make out Alison's voice in the background. "Scratch that. Leave the stuff where it is. Ms. Fernandez thinks it would be better if we use this place as a base camp for our search for the scientists. If we find them, they can help us pick up. Otherwise it would take far too long. Go ahead and search the other tents and see what you can find. If it seems important or may give us a clue as to where they went, let me know. McCullough out."

A shadow at the front of the tent announces itself as Dobar, come to help you search.

As Selise and Becky move towards the central dome, Alison comes back out waving her hands. "Becky! I was just going to call for you. I need you to see if you can get the power working in this thing."

She guides to two of you into the central dome. You see various tables, a drawing board that Dave is standing next to, a number of cabinets, a refrigeration unit, and the small power station that Alison was referring to. The metal floor is covered with a thin layer of dirt tracked in by the previous occupants as well as Dave and Alison. There are no half-eaten meals or similar evidence of a sudden departure, although a few pieces of silverwear remain behind. Based on the darkness level, the lights won't work until you get the power restored.
 

Selise squints her eyes to try to see. Trying not to bump into anyone. She feels around the room and leans againest the wall. Looks to the others. "I will just wait until the lights come on."
 

Geoff looks at David,

Anything in there last entries or something that might provide a clue as to where they are or what happened?

Barring anything interesting Geoff finishes searching through this tent and prepares to move to the next.
 

I found a journal. Might have some information on what they were doing before they disappeared

David opens it up and starts to read it.
 

David opens the journal and begins to read. Flipping through it, the book describes the exploration of the nearby ruins. It mentions how they seem to have been built by an unknown alien race, due to the dusty metal corridors and broken equipment that was found inside. The last entries read as follows:

(Six Days Ago)
Today we finally broke through the collapsed wall and found a huge metal door. It doesn't appear locked, but hundreds of years in this environment have frozen it shut completely. Ivan and Robert are busy cutting through it now.

(Four hours later)
Success! We cut through, and found the most amazing thing. Beyond lay a huge cavern, covered over with a domed metal ceiling. We realised in an instant that the flat area of desert just south of the boulders actually covers this roof, as if blown and collected over the ages. It also took only a few minutes to realise that this was no natural cavern. Was something hidden here, that these people wished to conceal? Or did they discover something and build this dome to cover it during the excavation?

After that, there are no further entries in the journal.
 

Dobar

Allison, David, Geoff, anything new? update me ...
Dobar speaks into the Communicator
is there any computers or mechanical stuff that need to be checked,
did you find something?
 



The journal mentions ruins near the camp, which would seem to indicate the ruins that are just south of your current position, past the other tents and the boulders.
