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.
