Initial
A small structure is still standing among the irradiated ruins, seemingly impervious to the nuclear blasts or ravages of time.
Art gallery
Science team sent to investigate the surviving building had discovered spacious halls with walls covered in colourful paintings. It appears we have ran into an art gallery of an extinguished civilization. [Science officer] is quite impressed with the display, citing "16. A naked specimen reaching for a group floating above him", "45. Two specimen standing in front of a structure holding agricultural equipment", "67. A distorted image of a specimen reaching for its open mouth" and "112. A poorly-dressed group following a half-naked flag-bearer over a pile of corpses" as his most favourite. The collection provided a lot of information of native's culture and appearance.
[Xenophile] Such wonderful culture extinguish in a moment
Image them for archives
Gain society research
Military factory
Upon examination, the building turned out to be a military factory with multiple unfinished armoured vehicles still on the production line. Although design of the equipment is centuries behind our standards, some of the solutions in reinforcing the walls to withstand a nuclear blast are quite ingenious and can be useful for us even today.
[Materialist, not xenophobe] A shame their talents are lost to the galaxy
They aren't build them like they used to
Gain engineering
Nuclear waste facility
Perhaps ironically, our science team had found much more radiation inside than outside. It appears this facility was used to store spent fuel rods for a nearby nuclear power plant. Long-term interactions between the reinforced walls, outside nuclear contaminations and nuclear waste had produced some unusual effects that might give us some insight into advanced particle interactions

Residential building
The science team had found large number of bodies inside. Although the carcass of the building survived, shockwave had breached the windows and killed most residents instantly. Survivors likely succumbed to radiation poisoning or harsh condition soon after. Lots of their personal belongings still litter the rooms.
[Not xenophile] Decontaminate the objects and sell them to collectors [Gain energy]
[Not xenophobe] Set up a museum on [Capital] in memory of fallen civilization [Gain influence]
Study the objects to find more of local civilization [Gain society research]
Failure
The building has collapsed, finally succumbing to harsh conditions shortly before science team had a chance to examine it closer. It's now no more interesting than surrounding debris.
Critical failure
The intact structure was unfortunately not as stable as they hoped. As our science team entered the building, it had collapsed, burying several team members under the rubble, including [Science officer] who later died of sustained injuries.

An anomaly for tomb world.
