Nodding, Jaya heads up to the cockpit to begin the process of landing. As the ship begins its descent, Vizelle feels psionic energy all around her, and knows that the barrier is up, noting with satisfaction that it seems strong and stable. The freighter begins its descent down to the planet, finding that the atmosphere is terrestrial, and therefore the descent isn't as bumpy or uncomfortable as it would be on a less habitable world. The ship breaks through the atmosphere, and then through the clouds, and suddenly Vizelle sees a sea of green trees, noting that they'll be landing in a tropical area.
Finally, the ship's landing gear comes down, and it prepares to slowly drop the last few metres to terra firma, when something strange happens. Vizelle sees a flash of blue and purple, and suddenly the ship is rocked, the sorceress nearly losing her footing. A damage alarm goes off, klaxons sounding throughout the ship, but thanks to the barrier, whatever happened seemed not to have too crippling an effect. "We're damaged, but we're good to land!" Jaya shouts from the cockpit. Finally, the ship's 'legs' touch the ground, and the descent is over. Looking out her window, Vizelle sees the structure about 500 metres away from the landing site, raised above a cenote.
