After several hours of work, the investigators gathered the villagers together to announce their findings. It turned out that the skeletons were those of a group of explorers who had gone missing several years ago. They had likely been attacked by a wild animal, possibly a bear, and their bodies had been left to decompose in the forest. The moss that covered them had grown as a result of the radiation in the area, but it was not harmful to humans.
