CLUE: Papers in the Trash Can The anthropology team was investigating a place where the Arctica crew camped after their ship was wrecked. A crumpled-up piece of paper summarizes what they found.
THE MAIN CAMP SITE
THE QUARANTINE CAMP The ash pile was unexpectedly large, and the ashes were seen to contain buttons and bits of bone. The cataclysm collapsed the triple-canvas tent onto its wood plank floor. Inside the tent we found blankets, tinned food, a firepit, firewood, cooking utensils and personal effects. The tent also contained a stone that appears to be a meteorite (Object 51). Subject 1 was discovered wrapped in blankets, apparently killed in his sleep. The body was crushed and deformed by the ice. Subjects 2 and 3 were spared this fate by a protective pocket formed by the ice sheet. Subject 2, a man, suffered a fatal head wound in the cataclysm. A blood trail, still visible, shows he was dragged into the pocket by Subject 3, a woman, before she died. She was found with her arms wrapped around him, both lying in the collapsed tent as if asleep.
