You radio for a light truck and some men to pick up the crate. After relaying the coordinates you start to head off again this time heading West of the base. To the distance you see thick black smoke rising above the grass. Clearly the remnants of a fire now smoldering. You find this odd as the plains are quite dry and would have indeed caused a wild fire. Kaiser offers that someone might have  cleared a patch of grass and built upon it, probably a small village which would generally mean people. However the remnants of a fire may suggest that they may not be in steller conditions.
