[Dorgan Bruun]

Bruun keeps good awareness as well, even though they haven't been on warm and fuzzy topics.

Investigation: in sync at 28!

The sensors didn't detect anything, but both mechwarriors felt something was off at about the same time.

A few moments later, there was a quiet beep as the mech sensors detected a metal object, half submerged on the beach.

As they came over the next dune, it was clear why they had felt so... ill at ease.

A dilapidated metal skeleton lay in the shallows, the hollowed out wreck of a Leopard class dropship. The craft was smaller than the Calico, only able to field four mechs, and more like a flying box than an egg, but it still felt very strange to see such a large and important thing left to rot this way. The waves lapped at the nose of the ship which was partially submerged, a skeletal remnant of corrosion and rust, but the back end was high up the beach, and was windswept, half submerged in sand, and otherwise abandoned... but somewhat intact.

It was clear the ship had crashed, hard, from the massive furrow in the ground running inland - it had dragged across hundreds of yards before coming to a stop.

Maja whistles

"This is just like buried treasure!"

[Dorgan Bruun]

Bruun's head while from side to side involuntarily, seeing this as an omen -- or great bait to build a trap around. Blondie's torso rotates partially as Bruun scans visually, even though the instruments tell him that he and Maja are the only ones here.

"If this is treasure then I really want to know who buried it," Bruun says warily. "Looks like it's been here a long time, but I still don't like the look of it."

After a little more looking around, he settles a little. "Well, clearly I'm in no mood for a picnic on the beach."

[Comstar]

The ship still had a logo on the side, faded and barely visible, but it could still be made out.

"This is a shame, is a nice day for it."
Maja gently chews her lip while regarding the ship

"...We could be looking inside, see if there was salvage?"

[Dorgan Bruun]

Maja's comment about the weather sneaks a smile from Bruun, even as he's grumpy. "I'll owe you the picnic, Stitches."

"We gotta at least get pictures, especially that emblem on the side," Bruun concedes. "Blondie, you got decent imaging or are we gonna be snapping vid phone pics?" He looked around his controls, embarrassed that he hasn't figured all this out already.

“You could take a self photo with it? Maybe you would be the cool pilot afterwards.”
For their part Maja and Wurm stomp closer try to see if there’s anyway way to peer deeper into the ship.

[Comstar]

It isn't hard to peer inside, necessarily, the waterlogged portion has mostly decayed away, offering an impressive cross-section of the remaining decks and bulkheads. The logo is one that most folks could recognize - and their memories tried to surface it (Knowledge(history)/intelligence at TN 10).
