Maybe perception to see if there is a manhole cover somewhere . . uhm . . in the grass?Jul 14, 2022 6:03 pm

Feel free to make any checks/rolls you feel appropriate. Assume 2P difficulty and I will adjust if needed.Jul 14, 2022 6:05 pm
There doesn't appear to be any sign of anyone, or anything, being in this area for a long time.

Guy looks around to see if anything looks odd or out of place, even looking up to the sky at one point.

The area is indistinguishable from any other part of the grasslands outside of Falu. The only thing that marks its significance is the continuing pings from the device.

"...You think we'll have to dig? All I got are a couple of grenades and a fusion cutter."

"Does the device only give you latitude and longitude? Can you adjust it to also tell us how deep or high it is?" Guy ask, even if that's not possible he's hoping Kip may think of something that is

OOC:
The tracker was described as showing a vector to the mysterious signal. Would that vector point down if the signal was underground?Jul 15, 2022 4:51 pm
OOC:
The display shows both vectors and distance, and yes, the vector would point down. At your current location the vector is not pointing down at enough of an angle to have you believe that the source is that deep underground.Jul 15, 2022 4:55 pm
Kip tries walking around with the tracker until the vector is pointing straight down. When that happens, he'll try digging with his hands.
Jul 15, 2022 5:54 pm
As he starts to dig Gurag puts a hand on Kips shoulder "Don’t think yer gonna get very far like that. This thing seems to be showin whatever it’s tracking is pretty deep. Why don’t we have a drive about a bit further out and see if we can find a tunnel or something"
Jul 15, 2022 6:31 pm
"Do we have any idea how big this thing is, whatever it is? Are we looking for a base or a box?"
Jul 15, 2022 7:19 pm
Walking through the tall grass with the device, Kip watches as the vector on the tracker quickly oscillates in multiple directions, including straight down. Whatever this thing is tracking it is in the ground all around you.
Picking a favorable spot where the grass isn't as dense, he starts to dig into the moist ground with his hands. The first couple of inches are nothing more than normal dirt, but digging deeper Kip notices that his fingers are starting to coat with a metallic pink dust.
Imperial Order #THX1138:
================================
03x High Density Drill Bits (cleaned and repaired).
04x 10m Modular Drill Shafts (cleaned).
10x Short Range Proximity Sensors (cleaned and repaired).
NOTES: All items covered in a pink, metallic dust. Kind of sticky, leaves a residue. Took some work to clean the bits, and hosed up the sensors pretty good. Everything working now. Items packaged and ready for pickup.

Imperial Order #THX1139:
================================
10x Short Range Proximity Sensors (new)
20x 100m by 8m Roll of Sensor Mesh (new)
NOTES: Items packaged and ready for pickup.

Kip sits up and rubs the residue between his fingers.
"Huh. This is familiar. Wasn't this on the Site tools from Baksed's shop?"

"Yeah, he was getting paid to clean and repair parts covered in the stuff. So that sensor finds the dust? Perhaps this is another potential site for the Empire?". Guy thinks for a bit... "I can't imagine they were interested in the dust though, maybe it signifies something else of value is here"
Jul 16, 2022 1:36 am
"Maybe. I've never seen this kind of dust before, though."
Kip holds a handful of the dust and waves it around the tracker to see if the vector follows. If it's not the dust that's creating the signal, then it's definitely something else that the Imperials are after.

The tracker does not follow Kip's hand when he waves it about, the vector still quickly oscillating between different points in the ground.
Jul 16, 2022 6:29 pm
Kip goes ahead and takes a sample of the dust so he can look at it later.
"Signal's not from the dust. So something else definitely is down there. What now?"
