You decide to return to the storage area (which you do without problem. You had to scare a lone, small, possibly young space beast, but that's all.). You grab the crate you've been designated as containing laser rifle, and check its content. Yup, twelve laser rifles. With magazines (or rather batteries) for 1500 shots each. You bring it back to the spawning bay and wait for the other clones to spawn.
They do so after a couple hours (you grabbed a crate of rations after about an hour). You and the AI inform them of the situation and you arm yourselves for cleansing the shuttle hangars.
With the four of you, the beasts stand no chance, and the hangar is free of xenos in less than two minutes. Afterwards, you scan the planet for a suitable landing. Thankfully, one of the sensors you fixed capt infrared emission: heat. You spot a couple slightly-less-cold areas on the surface. Thinking that this is not enough, you fix a couple more sensors with some spare parts grabbed in the storage and the help of the workers. With that, you designate four areas that may be suitable for establishing a landsite:
-Landsite one: a somewhat hilly area where there is fewer ice (ice here does not necessarily mean "water ice". It may be solid nitrogen or oxygen, or carbon ice.) and more rocks. Hence more stability.
-Landsite two: a huge, flat glacier. It looks stable enough to build on (still, be careful) , and have the benefits of having large water reserves. The warmth detected may imply the existence of underground rivers of carbon dioxid or nitrogen (or even water! one may dream...). It's also very easy to dig in.
-Landsite three: Mountains. Possibly ancient volcanos. It's like the rocky hills landsite, but with higher risks (less stability) and higher warmth (and minerals).
-Landsite four: Some odd geological formation, combined with geothermal heat, allowed the existence of a sea of liquid carbon dioxid. It's somewhat warm (tropical even, compared to the rest of the planet) without having to dig, and the sea can be exploited for energy, oxygen and carbon. You won't be surprised if there even was lifeforms in there. Yet, "tropical" weather come with downsides.
