Cassie bends over to examine the corpses. She's not a coroner, but she's trained enough in simple field treatments (and has seen enough dead bodies) to piece together what's up.

"I'm no animal expert. But I'm gonna guess these wounds didn't happen in the crash."

She winces and pulls her hand away as it pricks one of the feathers.

"Gonna throw a wild guess out there and say this was some kinda bird monster. A huge one, with talons."
