((I'm going to skip ahead to the planet if that's okay))

Jean shrugged at Crystal's question. "It's a lot like America I expect," he said rather ambiguously, he honestly didn't know how else to answer the question, he figured the two countries were a lot alike. "I'm sorry to cut this conversation short but I really need a shower and I'm certain we'll have time to talk planet-side," he said and headed off for a shower and a hot meal to prepare for landing.

The team had left two hours after Jean had finished his shower, plenty of time for all of them to get ready and be fully prepared to land. The only thing they couldn't have been prepared for was the sudden burst of intense heat that overtook the cool interior of the landing craft when the hatch opened, revealing the dunes of sand beyond their steel capsule. As the crew filed out of the craft Jean entered a few commands into the pad on his wrist and a large, tank-like vehicle rolled out behind them and Jean made his way around to the front of the landing craft where a second hatch opened and inside were two SHELLs that were waiting for their pilots.
