Heading onto one the sleek dropships, the doors seal behind Vivian and her troops, before the hangar opens up, and Vivian's ship, along with the other used by the expedition, begin to descend to the planet below. There's a wave of heat and flame as they break through the atmosphere, and then out the viewport Vivian sees green, verdant jungle. Her sightseeing doesn't last for long, though, as a wave of blue flies up from the ground, hitting one of the transport, which explodes in a sphere of flame and molten metal. All of a sudden, the air is filled with blue blasts, as plasma turrets on the planet's surface begin to fire up towards the transports.
The ship tosses and turns, as the pilot desperately makes evasive maneuvers. "Ma'am!" He calls out. "If we land in the original LZ, we risk getting hit! Do I land away from the area?" Vivian considers the question. If they get hit, shields will prevent the ship from being destroyed like the other one, but they could lose men. If they land farther than intended from the site, they would be out of range of the turrets, but could encounter unknown dangers while trekking through the jungles.
(Sorry if that's poorly written.)
