Stanislav knew that it was something he was not prepared for. A planet with dead life, temperatures deadly enough to kill even the strongest. He was nervous from the beginning. His heart rate was rising fast but the commitment was a thing he never got away from. Confident as he can be, he shrugged himself and ordered the fellow comrade to open the bay door. As he and the marines rush to get off the vessel. He waited for the perfect time. Every second felt like an hour to him.

"Alright, it is time we venture to the location. We do not know what is there my fellow comrades. I can not guarantee your lives but stick with me and I will make sure none of you go in vain."

He calmly walks to the main terminal relay to make sure the atmosphere for landing is not bitter. He was lucky, the planet lacked air pressure but, the radioactivity levels of the planet are high, as he worried. Tracked back to his fellow comrades and gradually checking if everyone was on their equipment. He, not once but, twice says that if the vessel was full of necessary stuff. Stan was not a person to ever look down on someone, he cared more than he should, he wanted everyone to get out alive. Maybe the thoughts drained some of his emotions,

"We will land near the marked location from where the last relay came from, it surely is time. Make sure to not forget anything comrades. I do not want this to be messed up by any means. Gear up."

As he commands his people. Time was surely not on our hands. He boarded as quickly as possible he can. One by one the suited cosmo-troopers got in the vessel. Ordered as the ship casually turns on its engines. He rechecked everything he possibly can and everything was good to go.

Five, three, two, one, you are good to dock out. Safe flight comrades.

Tak Tochno radio control, spasiba comrade.

By no means, it was safe at all but, positivity is without a doubt he needed the most. The ship gradually glided down the atmosphere, from behind the facility. Breaking through the atmosphere is not a big deal but, the ship was mildly shaking as it was passing through. The pilots relayed that we finally broke through the atmosphere waiting to be on the land, in the marked position.

A dark planet, middle of nowhere as one can not even see the horizon. Lifelessness is the first thing that comes to one's mind. Still, the sheer size of the planet was a thing. Sun rays not hitting the planet, made it hellish. The atmosphere is literally, nonexistent. As the Yezhov was approaching, Stan is getting a faint beacon and ordered the ship to land in the zone where Dr.Belov was transmitting from.

"To all comrades, Yezhov has ground. I repeat, the Yezhov has ground"

Stanislav smiled a little bit when hearing this, he can not believe he reached the surface without any major problem but he is getting prepared, for what is awaiting him and his comrades.

"Alright comrades, we are here. Make sure to carry at least two beacons each, the first squadron will be carrying the one automatized, the second squadron will be carrying the other one. Carry the edibles and the necessary equipment to your site and make sure you are guarded. Do not leave the six, always watch your surrounding and approach discretely."

"We are coming for you doctor." - he whispered, as the bay doors calmly opens.
