They touch down safely and confirm that the planet supports life, but there's no sign of dangerous animals. They step out onto a perfect unblemished landscape, and Chatterton is suspicious that it's too peaceful. He orders the captain, Forester, to be ready, and reminds the officer that his company pays the bills. As Chatterton steps onto the planet, a brief quake shakes the area, much to Driscoll's amusement. The mineralogist orders them to start drilling immediately but Forester tells him to follow procedure and explore first. As they disembark, they're unaware that someone seems to be watching them from the woods...
