((Type 4 shuttle, 12000 meters altitude and descending - Logali IV))
Taj’el: Are we able to land there? It would likely be the most efficient location for transporting equipment and materials.
Evinrude: ::Leaning to the side slightly to peer out Taj'el's window.:: Looks clear to me. Sensors show...firm enough ground. Is that our site?
Taj’el began composing the log notes as they descended, documenting the injuries and treatment with precise, clinical detail. Their attention remained split between the PADD and their surroundings, ensuring accuracy while maintaining awareness of their environment.
Taj'el: It is the most logical location I can determine at this time.
Evinrude: ::Nodding.:: Taking us down. Can you switch to sensors? Keep an eye on meteorology and atmospheric as we get close - the storm should miss this area.
Taj’el felt a flicker of uncertainty at the mention of the storm. They hoped, quietly but firmly, that it had already passed. Turning in their chair, they activated the sensors, focusing on the readouts as the vessel began its descent under his control.
Taj'el: It appears clear. We should have an uncomplicated descent.
It seemed he was a capable pilot, as they touched down without incident. Taj’el rose promptly and moved to retrieve their bags.
Evinrude: ::Grinning, he allowed himself some pride.:: Another perfect landing.
Taj'el: I agree, you are highly proficient in piloting. Now, come, we need to prepare.
Reaching over, Taj’el took his hand and guided him along with quiet determination. It became clear this had not been entirely spontaneous, they had planned this outing with his assistance in mind.
They valued his attentiveness to plant life, noticing details they themselves occasionally overlooked. With his help, the process of collecting samples became more efficient and, unexpectedly, more enjoyable.
The time passed in relative quiet as they moved through the environment together. The planet itself was… aesthetically pleasing. The water, in particular, offered a calm contrast to their usual surroundings, and the variety of plant life proved both interesting and useful.
There was a faint sense of regret that conversation had been limited, but Taj’el remained focused on their objective. In the end, they had gathered what they came for an outcome they found satisfactory.
