She slipped under the ropes and kept to the shadows until she was up the ramp and aboard the ship. A crunch under her boot elicited a disgusted sound from her, but she fished the Yimo out of her pocket, and photographed the carapaces. She even picked one up with her handkerchief, wrapped it, and pocketed it.
The carcass... if it could even be called that anymore, was even more perplexing. She took more pictures, from various angles.
"Surely someone will know what this is," she said to herself, pressing on further into the gloom of the ship. She'd come here to see if she could find answers, but thus far all she'd gotten was a fresh batch of questions.
