OOC: At the moment this is primarily for the XO, for the moment only people not going planetside was him I think? So everyone else player wise is in the pod thread, unless you also want to do an NE here.

On the bridge the XO would return to the center of the action just as shuttlepod 1 with the Captain and the rest of the landing party went planetside. On scans they could see it enter the planet’s atmosphere without problems and soon was hovering about 300 feet up in the air just south of the large plateau which was home to a moderate sized lake and the landing site of the shuttle craft Columbia with its strange jury rigged water wheel generator and jury rigged radio message for help. All of which showed matching to age and construction of being there since 2003 for just a hair over 148 years now. Again no signs of human life was evident, past or present but due to the local terrain interfering with scans and transporters it was impossible to be sure.

NL Reggie Green sat in the cramped area of the bridge designated for Engineering. At least it was cramped to him as he was not a small man. Big boned is what his Aunt Bernice used to say as his small bulk rampaged through the house like a tiny tank in his growing up years. He split his attention from the data screens before him and the main screen. As he watched the shuttlepod descend he both envied Serinde and didn’t. He would have enjoyed having had a look under the hood of a real shuttle that old, but ever felt claustrophobic in those cramped tiny shuttles, and longed for the day when they were more spacious and, perhaps even capable of days or weeks long travel in them. He tugged at his beard.

“Commander,” he said, his voice matching his hulk. “If they were about there for any time and had time to build that wheel and modify the shuttle there should be graves about. A graveyard of sorts. In those days that was a much bigger thing and a plot of land would be marked off or at least gravestones or markers. Someone built that up, so someone was there, so someone must have lived and died. Even overgrown I wonder if we could pick something up in the area.”
