[QUOTE="Richard B, post: 12370, member: 306"] Don't forget, though, that this was an archeological expedition. They probably didn't expect to find anything other than some ruins, or, if the "engineers" were still alive, it would be reasonable to assume that the ones who created us would not be hostile, and may even be delighted at the visit. It was also in a remote location, and even many crew members believed this was a foolhardy endeavor, so it's unlikely the military would provide support. Travel that far is also expensive, and they must provide all supplies needed, as it cannot be assumed they could replenish their provisions, so the fewer crew members, the better. That's probably why their security person was also their geologist. As for the weapons, well, you would hope that a civilization with ships capable of extrasolar travel would have devised more advanced weapons than flamethrowers. [/QUOTE]
