Stunned insects and small animals were flopping around on the ground as he approached the blast area cautiously. Someone had tossed a spear that fell short of its destination. Casey picked it up and studied it a moment, then tossed it in the dirt. The tip was hewn from iron rich metal, sharpened, then heated to help maintain its edge.

Casey continued walking into the blast zone. He picked a loose arrow off the ground. Skillfully crafted for such a primitive society, it also had a metal head on it which was very sharp! It closely matched the head Jool had removed from Officer C'ell!

Casey walked into the blast zone another ten feet before he encountered the blast's first victims. The Terran checked them carefully, but other than bumps and scraps, most were... stunned!

Walking a few more yards, Casey could now see the total extent of the Torgan device's effectiveness. One individual was wrapped around a tree! A dead tree branch fell on another, but the completely rotted limb shattered on impact.

The Terran checked the condition of the fallen. Again, bumps, bruises and scrapes. Not even a concussion!

Next to one individual was a crude mask made from mud and straw. It was broken, but the design was that of a skull with large eye sockets and garishly carved teeth. Painted or coated with a white substance, it was tied onto the face with strip of leather. He had a small knife and several pouches on straps. Casey thought the individual was possibly a shaman or medicine man.

Close by, Casey found the leader or the one he called tracker laid out flat like he'd been decked in a bar fight.

Since he was the individual who seemed to command the spoken language Casey thought he'd heard, he decided to try this individual's mind. The worst thing he could glean was nothing.

Looking around to make sure no one had regained their feet, Casey put down his carbine and unholstered his handgun. The he grabbed his water tube and took a drink.
