Should sense things out before we start, supposedly still a few people living in the area.” you bring up, starting just that as you slow down a bit. However, there’s another important thing you need to address. “Mess Officer Buu, still got our lunches ready?”
“Uh-huh! Uh-huh!” Buu exclaims excitedly, pulling out the little Capsule container and a different food container. “Buu got it all ready!”
“Thanks bud! All right, let’s see…” Focusing your Ki sensing, you can get the read on a good dozen people in the surrounding area, divided up into three or four groups. There’s a good deal of wildlife, but there’s almost a “hole” in the where you can feel Ki near and around the central crater area, with smaller “cracks” devoid of much life energy. Matches what you were told by Trip. There is, however, something odd you pick up on. You can almost sense a faint presence INSIDE the giant burning hole in the earth, though it’s too vague to really see who or even what it might be.
Setting the MOGUERA units down and having it start up its sensors. Lapis and Chuu Lee seem to have sensed the same things you have thus far, though Chuu Lee crosses her arms as she looks off towards the glowing crater. “…I’m not the only one that feels that, right?”
“You’re not, but I can’t exactly get a read on it.” Lapis replies, to which you nod in agreement.
A moment later, Krillin teleports in, and gives you all a wave. “Hey guys!”
“Hey Mr. Krillin!” you greet with a smile.
“Krillmeister.” Lapis greets as he shares a fist bump with him.
“Lazuli doing okay with the kids?” Chuu-Lee asks.
He gives a quick nod. “Yeah, she decided to take ‘em shopping for a bit.”
MOGUERA finishes its preliminary scans, relaying that it’s identified both the currently burning coal seams, burned out ones, and even some untouched ones that can be closed off before they’re reached. It does look like there’s a LOT of currently burning stuff, and it goes down pretty deep, with an initial seam around 50 meters deep, leading to several others much deeper, down to about 400 meters.
>A. All right, let’s get things started. Head to the crater>B. Try and go for one of the groups of people around here first, let them know what’s going on before you start>C. Really should try and focus on that thing in the pit, if more people are sensing it than you, then it’s no false signal, it’s there>D. Something else?
