As the planet leveled on the view screen, the horizon of the world curving diagonally at an approximated angle of 28.8 degrees, Spock turned her full attention to the instrument panel before her. The intended trajectory mapped itself out in a series of numerals and coordinates and Spock spoke as she ran and reran the landing calculations that would permit them to set down on the surface.
"The scientific report of this world classes it as M, habitable and sustaining to carbon based life," Spock explained redundantly. "We will be landing at the apex of a coastal inlet, precisely 1.367 miles from the origin of the native signal."
Three of the sensors trilled in unison as they approached in a curve against the atmosphere. The ship shook slightly, as the intertial dampeners activated, and then everything was relatively smooth.
"The trek will require a brief foray through the dense ecological barrier of m3-137q4, an environment presumably classified as a rain forest." Spock would not disclaim this informal relation of data with the obvious fact that they'd not been studying the native lifeforms long enough to definitively classify anything. Surely, that also, was implied. "It would be prudent to mind your step so as not to damage yourself, one another, or any native life."
The shuttle touched down easily and Spock slowly disengaged the controls, deactivating and locking the systems in grey mode.

"Are there any queries?"
