You had heard from Mistee that this box contained the blown-up bits of Silcress' body, and you are glad to find that it is no longer around.

You begin to search the area, hoping that no clues have been blown away by the soft wind over the course of the night, into the early morning. The first thing that catches your attention is a message carved into the earth with something: a weapon, a claw, or a even a stick. In capital letters reads,

"I BURIED MY SOUL IN THE BASIN."

You shudder, unsure what this means, but somewhat disturbed by it. The only thing you manage to find is traces of black powder here and there--you imagine this is used in Payload's explosions. You keep your distance from the message and continue searching, but find nothing more. Not a trace of blood can be found, and you can only assume that Silcress was killed elsewhere and brought here afterwards.

Nothing else stands out to you, so you leave the scene, hoping the wind blows the dirt-carved message away.
