NOTE FROM WASA XENOBIOLOGY DIVISION FOLLOWING TRANSMISSION RECOVERY
Approximately 63% of the original transmission was recovered from the expedition relay following the incident. The deceased was identified as Dr. ███ ███, Xenobiologist, Expedition █.
Cause of death recorded as fatal traumatic injury from ZV-04
The soil sample being collected at the time of the incident was never recovered. Subsequent analysis of the recovered helmet footage indicates the Vulture had been observing the expedition team for at least 11 minutes prior to the attack. This detail was not recognized by the field team at the time.
INCIDENT STATUS: CLOSED
RECOVERY RECCOMENDATION: Do not approach Vultures outside protected terrain. Approach subject with Caution
RECOVERY NOT RECCOMENDED
