NPCThere are three things worthy of note: fragments of some sort of devices that both skeletons carried on their belts, some shiny trinkets in the remains of the carried skeleton's bag, and an old portable cogitator in the other's bag.
YOU[Carefully inspect the skeletons and their gear]
YOU[Examine the broken device]
NPCThe pieces of broken tech suggest that this was a rudimentary radar jammer — an item commonly utilised by pirates in the Koronus Expanse.

YOU[Examine the trinkets]
NPCThe trinkets are clearly of xenos origin. They are miscellaneous, time-worn items that have no particular value. One can assume that they are petty trophies looted from several corpses.

NPCThe skeleton's decayed gear contains hardly anything of interest. The only find worthy of note is an old portable cogitator.

NPCThe cogitator has been exposed to the elements for decades or even centuries. It is a small miracle that you are able to extract a fragment of a vox-recording — apparently the last communications. "Scout 1: WE'RE RICH! Chaos take me! RICH! Lookout: Fly, for crying out loud, spit it out. What have you found? Scout 1: RICH! Screw Footfall! The Expanse can go to the Orks! WE'RE OUTTA HERE! CALIXIS, HERE WE COME! Lookout: Yeah, because with our record, Calixis is definitely the place to go. What makes you think life's better there anyway?"
NPC"Scout 1: I want a house on some planet... a mansion! With a lion statue at the entrance! It'll have a servitor with one job — dusting my lion statue! Lookout: Fly, you idiot, you're still on a dangerous planet. Quit sending me your hollering. Get back here or just tell me what you've found already. Lookout: Fly. Lookout: Fly. You coming? Lookout: I'm coming for you, dumbass. If you're not responding just to mess with me — you're dead meat."

NPCThe old tech has been exposed to the elements for a long time and is practically crumbling to dust in your hands. But at least now you know that the skeletons have been here for decades or centuries.

Entry point 5 of 5
NPCTwo skeletons are lying in strange positions — as if one was either carrying or hugging the other and did not let go even in death. Their gear is badly damaged and decayed.
