Recursion

- We're zeroing in on 300 kilometers from TL-14's surface.

Look alive gentlemen.

- Winters, did you retract the charging units?

Yes, like five minutes ago.

Quit acting like you've been in cryo sleep

for the last 10 months.

Where are Fitz and Cruzaedo?

Cruz, get you asses up to the bridge.

Right now.

Come on Winters, we're just checking out

some of the ship's vital equipment.

The espresso machine does not

fall under vital equipment.

See that's where you're wrong.

- Permission to initiate first phase of descent?

Hold off, I'm not getting

a dynamic reading on the surface.

Schultz, run a full atmospherics survey.

I found our problem.

We have a problem already?

- TL-14's got an angry storm, all across the surface.

I can't get a reading on the land.

What's the problem with that?

We can't land if we can't navigate

to an even part of the surface.

We'd risk setting this billion dollar company vessel

down in a canyon or some shit.

- Schultz, how long has this storm been in effect?

Two thousand years, give or take.

- We can send the small beacon ship down to the surface.

Get a clear visual.

Place down some surface scanners

and get a clear path for the Iris.

West?

Yeah, it could work.

I mean the suits are designed to withstand harsh conditions,

but whoever goes down there is gonna need to be careful.

Aright, who wants to volunteer?

I'll go.

Hell, I'll go with you.

Sounds like a plan,

prepare the capsule for launch.

- Iris pod is active and ready to dislodge.

Alright boys, prepare to be

the first men to land on TL-14.

- Hey Cruz, when we get down there, I'm getting out first.

Match for it.

In three, two, one, detaching.

Oh, I'm hating this already.

- Iris, pod is enduring expected resistance.

Touching down to surface in T-minus nine seconds.

There, 5 clicks north.

I see it.

- Iris, we've touched down to surface of TL-14.

Time to go outside.

Be careful out there, boys.

What are you talking about Winters,
