The three Troopers cautiously push on into the interior of the wrecked freighter. Sleek sinuous shapes move in the darkness, pulling back as the Troopers push forwards, offering little by way of a clear shot. A little way inside the hold the Troopers find another body. This time it is of a female, dressed in functional desert gear, covered in blood. Much of her exposed flesh has been mauled, ripped and torn. She is dead, and has been long enough to go cold. Her pockets have been turned inside out.
Qira reaches the bottom of the sand dune. The tracks disappear into a mess of disturbed sand. There are several large dark objects in the centre of the disturbed area. Closer inspection reveals them to be the manure from some sort of large animal. Circling around, Qira finds the edge of the disturbed area, and a set of tracks leading to, or perhaps from, it. There are no clear prints, just a mess of many large ones.
A pair of large lizards erupt from dark places, followed by a third, then a fourth from another direction. They are about 4 feet long, about the thickness of a human leg. They whip across the ground, closing the gap between themselves and the Troopers in a blink of the eye.
[sblock=ooc]Initiative Rolls for those in the ship. Give me an Attack and Defence Roll as well.[/sblock]

Qira concentrates, trying to use the Force to allow her to sense anything in her immediate area hidden by the dunes.
"Qira. Anyone got eyes on our target yet?"
[sblock=OOC]Use the Force +12 to Sense Surroundings and ignore concealment and cover[/sblock]

Qira scans the surrounding desert. The desert is all but empty of all but the smallest of creatures, and they are nothing more than the faintest trace in Qira's awareness. The desert is still and silent under the glistening stars. Nothing larger can be seen or sensed in the vicinity of the freighter. Nothing lurks behind any nearby dunes or approaches through the darkness. But further away, many miles away, something moves. Its too far away to make out any details, it is just a smudge in the force. But whatever it is, it must be very large, or consist of numerous entities to be sensed at this distance.
[sblock=ooc]Again, using visual range as a rough guide to how far Qira can see, and what sort of detail she can make out.[/sblock]

Qira frowns and marks the presence in her memory for future investigation, but continues her circling movement.
"Qira. Stop horsing around and report."
