Prepare for Landing
Your shuttle is in position to begin descending into the Martian atmosphere. Everyone prepares themselves for the descent, a little on edge as this is where everything went wrong for the first expedition.
Will you make it safely? Will this be the final moments of your lives? Will this be the first step towards a wonderful adventure. All those questions will be answered soon.
You realize that you can't stop focusing on your goals. After landing you still want to determine your various leaders and your first project before departing the shuttle.
You make one last check and see that your supplies have already landed on the surface. Your landing zone is very near your supplies, which will make everything much easier (as easy as living on an alien planet can possibly be).
Just before you turn off the scanner you notice something odd in the thermal scanner. A small heat source that is about 5 miles away from your landing zone. That is about where the original colony was going to land. Maybe just an anomaly, or a bad read from the scanner. No time to think about that right now.
Prepare for landing...
