Two centuries later, on 25 May [[3041]], a [[ComStar]] [[Explorer Corps (ComStar)|Explorer Corps]] team under [[Precentor]] [[Barton Bixby]] is investigating the grave site on Barbados, finding a grassy clearing with a stone arch built over two tombstones, ringed by sixteen stone seats and hulks of long-destroyed BattleMechs. There are clear signs of an ancient battle, and remains of at least two unknown BattleMech designs. The tombstones have been decorated with (now dried) eight-month-old flowers, indicating that someone is still looking after the ritual site alongside the presence of a landing zone with DropShip burn marks.

− Nineteen animal images, masterfully etched but crossed out, are found on the stone arch. But none of them matches the "animal head with claw marks in the background" (Clan Wolverine) from one of the destroyed 'Mechs. It is determined to be a 63% match to a tattoo found on the arm of a dead [[Minnesota Tribe]] member recovered from [[Richmond]] with discrepancies plausibly traced to the warped nature of the pilot's skin. + Nineteen animal images, masterfully etched but crossed over, are found on the stone arch.

Noting the martial nature of the title, Khan, on the two tombstones and unwilling to risk a hostile encounter, Bixby decides against any intrusive investigations. He then gives the archaeologists five days to explore the site, map it, and take photos to report their findings before continuing their mission to search for Aleksandr Kerensky's Exodus fleet. He also decides to leave the planet and its caretakers in peace by not leaving a message behind to contact them.
