A brown dragon was nearby, from a different Weyr.
"Take your time," Sam thought to Thayilli.
Several people waved and said hello to the Arolos queen rider as she made her way to the ship. Eylse nodded as Thayilli explained the hole. "Yeah, between that hole and the Thread damage, no way of fixing the ship," the off-worlder said.
They walked throught the corridors of the spacecraft, passing several people along the way to the medical bay. Thayilli saw that any loose items and equipment had been taken away. In the medical quarters, Elyse looked through cabinets and draws. "Empty."
Thayilli realized the medical equipment, like everything else, had probably been removed to study and catalog. It would be outside in one the the camp tents.
"Then let's see where you found the men and robot," Elyse said.
They walked to the front of the ship and the room where Thayilli came upon the rampaging robot.
Elyse looked around, checking controls and read-outs that were largely blank. "Too bad there's no power, we might have found out some of what happened. You say the bodies of the dead men had multiple concussions?"
"It's possible life support went out and they died before even getting bumped around from the crash," mused Elyse. Thayilli wasn't sure what she meant by life suppurt. "That could explain why they weren't strapped in. If the robot attacked them, the wounds would likely be different."
Outside, Thayilli tracked down the medical tent. A healer from Fort Hold was currently staffing it. Thayilli could see the medical bay items spread out on a table.
"Hello, I'm Master Marshal," said the healer. He didn't recognize Thayilli. "Can I help you?"
