SITE REPORT SOLARIAN SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND (SOLSOC) Prepared by Loren Voss Authorized for release to Gebler Special Exploratory Group (SEG) (Clearance-confirmed contractors included)

---

SCENE LOG:	Snakes And Ladders
LOCATION:	Serpent's Coils, alleged poorly-explored ruin
PARTICIPANTS:	2LT Voss, Gwen Whitlock, Lemina Ausa, Jean, Seraph Ragnell
RELICS RECOVERED:	None
PRE-EXPLORATION SUMMARY:	Investigate and determine veracity of rumors concerning contents of ruin site, Drifter activity, types of materials available.
EXPLORATION SUMMARY:	Standard desert conditions outside; site difficult to locate. Ruins inside featured marked presence of slimes and still active ancient mechanisms. Pitfalls were located at various points. Notes on Drifters present: GWEN WHITLOCK, courier and known 'asset'. JEAN, a woman marked by feats of athleticism; accompanying LEMINA AUSA and met on-site. LEMINA AUSA, a woman using unusual magical talents; may be Symbology but technique style does not match. Recommending watch status for rogue ether use. Expedition resulted in failure. A fall sent the bulk of our group down a pit, ejecting us from the ruin; the rest had little choice but to follow.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:	Unable to determine whether Drifters have frequented the site more heavily of late; with increased Drifter presence in the area due to migration west, site contents may become a liability. Further analysis of artifact risk needed; further expeditions advised. Site featured several intact and clearly ancient mechanisms so risk is present.
COMMENTS:	'Spring Breeze' may have been present. Other Drifters observed speaking with a presence I could not see or hear.
