The scene before you is one many of you has seen before. In the clearing are two highly damaged vehicles, one of which looks to have been completely ripped apart, the second while also heavily damaged is filled with a collection of young men and women. They look terrified in general and are arguing and debating about where to go next or what to do, they do not notice the approach of your team until you are within 50’ of them. Once you are close enough for them to notice you they freeze up like rabbits looking at you guys trying to assess if you are going to kill them, talk to them or let them be. One look around from there the scene gives a much more gruesome context to their fear as it is obvious the gargoyles killed quite a few of them.
There are 6 gargoyle bodies strew about left as they fell. On the right of the clearing there are 16 civilians bodies and 14 Dead Boys whose bodies and parts have been gathered and laid to rest with as much dignity as can be managed in the brief time allowed. In stark contrast the gargoyle corpses look to have been deliberately desicrated as many have wounds obviously inflicted post mortem, and heads removed.
The transport the people are hiding in is very heavily damaged. Several locations showing the rending marks of gargoyle claws, the heavy rail gun appears to have been completely warped by the supernatural strength of one of the monsters, with almost every other system severely damaged. The most severe bit of damage, however is what looks like two explosions where deliberately detonated inside the crew quarters reducing its overall durability and preventing the rear drop door from being able to close all the way as it has been bent out of shape.
The anxiety of the people hiding is so thick it is like a cloud in the air even those without psionic senses can perceive. This is a group of obviously tired young men and women at the end of their ropes. Looking around a quick head count determines there are 18 survivors visible, but it is obvious there may be a couple out of site.
With a cursory examination from the edge of the clearing it can be seen that the SAMUS pilot must have been in a hurry as it is obvious he did not do the job as thoroughly as Coalition Doctrine would have prescribed. One of the vehicles looks like it can be repaired with time and effort. Between Billy and Erin you think within a day or two you will be able to get the thing running on a basic level. But in this environment there would be a lot of risk.
