"I appreciate your concerns." Lilith commented on Diane's suggestions. "But, as a captain of the ship, I personally think it is necessary to relieve some distress in the passengers. Besides, it's no rumor. We ARE going to land here to scout out the area and see if this planet is good enough for permanent settlement."
"Smart mouth." Brick said under his breath so that only he and Mordecai could hear. Mordecai chuckled.
"You're sounding a lot like Roland, Lilith." Mordecai observed.
"Is that a bad thing, now?" Lilith jokingly teased Mordecai, who looked away with a smile.
"No... no, its much preferred this way." Mordecai answered honestly. "So... shall we prepare for landing?"
Lilith looked out into the vast space, silent for a second. A few months ago, she was a vigilante trying to fight off an evil megalomaniac looking to bring a planet to its demise. Back then she didn't know, but living in this cramp, dull ship taught Lilith how burdensome the leader's responsibility is. She didn't want to become like Handsome Jack, but she didn't want to stay passive.
But she wasn't Handsome Jack. And she will bring this team into a better future.
"All crew prepare for landing." Lilith commanded, and the crewmen of the ship began scurrying around the control room. "We descend."

"Well then, time to take my things" Diane waved her hand as she left to her room. The Ax user wasn´t so excited by the look of her walking and mood, she was actually neutral on the situation since there were both good and bad things about the new planet, sure there were new things to discover, but there were also many dangers that could have unknown advantages and so on.
The viking sighed ("This will be a heck of an adventure") she couldn´t help but smile at that.

"We have arrived at the drop site." The navigator noted as the ship safely landed on a large flat area surrounded by a forest of some sort. The crowd cheered at the safe landing, including but not limited to every notable NPC of Sanctuary.
Lilith smiled and hugged a flustered Mordecai, who stood next to Brick who had a large smug on his face. Left of Lilith stood Moxxi, her attire provocative as ever, with Marcus smirked, ready to sell firearms that the passengers could use against any hostile local wildlife animals. Dr. Zed was stoically staring at the screen of the landing, while Scooter had tears on his face.
"Well, what are we waiting for?!" Lilith happily declared. "Let's open the hatch!"
The passengers grouped up around the exit as it was slowly but surely opening, letting the bright sunlight pierce through the relative darkness of the ship. They winced as the light grew more and more intense until the hatch was fully opened. When their eyes adjusted to the brightness, they saw something amazing.
Surrounding the ship were plains with grass greener than any grass in Pandora. But what surrounded the plains were greener than anything the Pandorian natives have ever seen: a rain forest of some sorts with less wet and more mystical. The rain forest stretched out far into the South, but became more sparse to the North which eventually ended into a more arid landscape.
"This is beautiful." Lilith exclaimed in awe, and turned to the similarly awestruck Pandorians with a happy expression. "We're here, everyone!"
They all cheered.

Scarlet Moon | Olympus
Taking a deep breath of fresh air did wonders to Diane´s lungs "Boy this feels so good" she spoke not caring if people heard her, this was a new planet, a new environment, a new home "Might as well see what the nature brings as a welcoming party" she started walking around the area.
In her mind, the blonde was already making a mental map of the area ("We got more plant life, that is obvious, the fauna must be observing us from a safe distance, they wouldn´t be so stupid to just attack a whole community, even less if said community was prepared to shoot at the slightest feeling of threat") she thought while making some recon work

Scarlet Moon | Olympus
As soon as you would know it the Scarlet Moon had landed on the planet much like Captain Lilith commanded.
However while everyone else was focused cheering on about landing on the planet, and celebrating. Andrew was alone in his living quarters packing up the essentials. He had his Data Storage device, filled with enough money to hopefully buy an energy shield from Dr. Zed, and probably some ammo or a weapon from Marcus. The old Rifle of his family was also properly put into storage for safe keeping until he needs it. Though the one item he did not put into Data Storage was his Hunting Drone. Instead of putting it in data storage, he rather had kept it in it's inactive state, a folded up box shaped form. With two clips on the drone, Andrew put his precious... tool on his back much like a backpack. Thanks to the clips it remained nice and snug on his coat.
"Before I even go anywhere, it looks like I'm going to need to go visit Scooter along with Zed and Marcus... going to need a good weapon aside from my old Family Rifle... going to need a new shield... also going to need to make sure everything with my Drone is in perfect condition. I have a feeling I'm going to get stuck with the boring scouting mission..." Andrew spoke to no one in particular as he left his living quarters, now in search of Scooter, and then Marcus and Zed hopefully...

Scooter's Mechanic Workshop - Scarlet Moon | Olympus
Scooter, after celebrating the landing, was... sleeping on his chair. Everyone else was carrying cargo out to start building a city, while the most important member of that plan was slacking off.
His rest had to be short-lived, however, as Andrew entered his garage-like shop.
"Awwwww man, who gon' break my sleep, huh?" Scooter growled, obviously pissed off. "I had a rough day today, and you should probably know..."
Scooter stayed static for a second, then he bolted up a pile of tires and started flailing his arms and legs about wildly.
"YOU GON PAY FER MESSIN' WITH MA SLEEPIN'!"

Andrew had walked into the Workshop of the Sanctuary's signature mechanic when he had accidentally woke up Scooter. Instead of being really phased or intimidated by the obviously loony Mechanic, Andrew just let out a disgruntled sigh at Scooter's reaction.
"Damn I knew I shouldn't have come here... too bad to. I was willing to pay up a little money for a quick routine maintenance on my Drone..." Andrew said in a rather uncaring, sarcastic tone as he turned away from Scooter. "But I guess someone else would be willing to... I mean... I don't want to bother a sleeping man..." Remarked Andrew in the same uncaring tone.

"Wait I- I mean-" Scooter stuttered. "Aw hell, tie me on top of a steam pipe and cover me with skag puke, fine, I'm open I guess."
Scooter hopped down from the stacked tires with relative ease. He definitely wasn't a cover model for some magazine, but his knowledge in engineering various machines was the most helpful during the journey, and will be onward. His little temporary shop was also worth mentioning, as they were littered with random junks that Scooter made in his pastime while he's not napping. Most of them were some sort of car components, but there were a fair share of other utility equipment. Strangely there were no gun parts in this shop.
"Waaaaaait, I know you. You're one of them newest batch o' Vault Hunters, right? Ahahahahahaha, how can I help ya?" Scooter observed Andrew closely and chuckled.

Andrew stopped as he turned back to look at Scooter. For a quick second a slight smirk came over his face as he took off the drone from his coat's back. Walking up to the stack of tires that Scooter uses as a makeshift table, Andrew had placed his folded up drone.
"Just here for some routine maintenance. Just need to make sure it is in top notch condition before heading out. It's been a while since this thing has actually been activated. Don't want to go outside, get attacked by the natives, and find out that something is wrong with my drone." Andrew replied as he held his arm out in front of him. Then with a push of a button on his watch the Drone unfolded from it's box shape and began hovering a foot over the stack of tires. "So where should we start?"

Outskirts of Landing Zone
Walking through the flora of their new home, Dane tried to discover everything her senses told her about the planet, the first thing that came to her mind was the humidity ("It will be from rain-forests to tropical forests, the mosquitoes will have a feast with us") she chuckled imagining a poor soul being chased by a cloud of bloodsucking insects.
The blonde ax user kept her instincts on edge since there was still no contact from the animals or any major living being since the moment they landed ("It can´t be a deserted planet, this place is perfect for sustaining life")
