Aliathrana's perspective:

I walk down the corridor of the Exodar to reach the briefing room, my hooves making my footsteps echo quite loudly. I needed to fill in Tanoruth, the first scout whom we are sending down to the planet we are orbiting, the planet called Azeroth. While lost in my thoughts I ended up bumping into Tanoruth, I hadn't noticed I'd already reached the briefing room. "Hey, are you headed down to Azeroth?", I asked. "Yes ma'am.", the young male replied with a smirk on his face. "Keep this professional Tanoruth." I said strictly. Tanoruth and I had known each other since training school but I wasn't about to let that get in the way of the task at hand. "Alright then I will give you the run-down, Scout. First off, check for all signs of life, we know that the planet is already inhabited by multiple races but we need to know things like if the air is breathable for us, and if plants and animals are consumable, etc. Second, report if there are any signs of the Legion; we got on this forsaken ship to get away from them, I'd prefer to not have to do it again. Third, make sure you have a communication crystal, that is vital, without it you and I will not be able to remain in touch. Fourth, try only to observe the humanoid life-forms down there, do not to engage, we don't want to make any more enemies. Lastly, be careful and good luck. Remember not all those who wander, are lost." I saluted Tanoruth and sent him on his way.
I then trot into the communications room and quickly pull up the communication pad and tried to communicate with the pod Tanoruth was assigned to. With the coordinates set and ready to go the countdown was initiated. Once Tanoruth entered the atmosphere though I attempted to communicate with him, unfortunately the static noise made it hard to understand what Tanoruth was saying. "...gravity strong...er...headed...to...fast!" Tanoruth was frantically pressing buttons and had a concerned expression plastered onto his face. "Scout! Slow down, you'll crash!" I said. By then all communication was lost. Confounded I paced the communications room, my heart heavy yet praying to the Light that Tanoruth had made it safely onto the new world. After what seemed like eons I heard a static from the crystal. I run towards it, "Scout are you on Azeroth safely?" Static yet again " Crash...landing..imminent..." came through the crystal. Frantically I yelled to the Engineer. "Is there a way for our scout to eject himself out of the pod? We can't get it to slow down!" I said urgently. Relief struck me when the Engineer replied with a yes. "Tanoruth abort! Eject from the pod! Immediately!" I said my voice almost unrecognizable, even to myself. I trudged down the hall, leaving the engineer to help Tanoruth eject from the pod.
I went nervously to talk to the Captain to report the mission was a failure, there was no way to stop the pod, so it'd crash into the land making it basically impossible for Tanoruth to return to the Exodar. Might as well get the bad news out and done with; I then stop to think where we went wrong. I go over the notes that were made before we sent Tanoruth out into the new world, I realized we miscalculated the speed that it would take to enter the atmosphere of the planet, the planet's gravity was not as strong as we had thought. Placing the holograms back down I continue my nervous walk to my boss' office. I knock on the door several times before I finally hear my boss' not normally, hoarse voice, tell me to come in. Walking into the office I stand in front of my boss' desk. "Did you need something?" My boss asks in the same hoarse voice not facing me. "Well." I begin, "Our first pod sent down to the planet's surface has been a failure." I explain. My boss then turns slowly facing me. I feel sweat start to run down my forehead, as her eyes stare directly into mine.
