As Kirth spoofs the doors to the vehicle, the communication link in your helmets suddenly gives out a screech of interference noise, and the sky momentarily lights up. A shuttlecraft, standard Earth-made atmospheric model, rockets over the top of the nearby icy crests and shoots across the crater, narrowly missing the far rim. It ploughs into the grey dust on the far side, some parts flying into the air with a brief bloom of flame. Then all is still. Perhaps Croft was right about the group attracting derelict vehicles?
"...that? Repeat, this is Sorensen to anyone who can hear, are you guys okay out there? Come in please. Are you receiving me?" Lars' voice comes in on the comms, as the interference fades.
