Go to the cave. They can send another shuttle.

You approach the cave with little protection save for your kinetic guns. An hour has passed, and you can see the cave's entrance. Everyone is hot, but no indicative signs of heatstroke. Water seems to be in good quantity. As your approach the cave, your suspicions are confirmed: a 4-foot high metallic construct is at the cave's entrance. It glows faintly, as if it had been on standby for the last few millenia. You order your tech team to try and interface with the device, but alas! Your communicators, scanners, and computer equipment have been ravaged by the electromagnetic waves. You ponder if you should return to the shuttle, but it would mean another 30 minute walk. Shuttles are not sheilded, and the computer was already looking pretty bad when you interfaced with it shortly after landing. Your technology must've given out around 20 minutes ago, and your shuttle is dead. With no hope of contacting the Dampier for assistance, you and your crew slowly die of exposure. Your mission has ended.
