Ryan grabbed the side of the doorway and stepped into the engulfing light that came from outside the ship. His eyes weren't use to so much light, it was a huge contrast with the ship's dark and hollow interior, especially considering the multiple suns shining their heat rays directly on this huge piece of rock.
"This is a small step for man, and one giant leap for manking, or at least what's left of it." He said in an ironic manner as he stepped onto the planet's firm ground.
Outside the ship, the light was even stronger than what he had seen from the inside and the heat... Oh the heat, it was close to unbearable. There was a scorching wind blasting around him, flowing through what little hair managed to escape the grasp of his cap, sometime letting it's place be taken by a sweet and fleeting breeze of pure refreshing air. The forest that laid in front of him seemed odly natural, even though there was this strange feeling of.... well strangeness surrounding it. As he proceeded to put his black aviator style sunglasses, he heard a gunshot coming from his right an quite nearby. As he looked where the sound came from, he saw two man around the dead body of some kind of creature. As he approached and just before place a toothpick between his jaws, he said in an ironic tone again:
"Wow, human kind never ceases to impress me. We arrive on a relativly new planet and the first thing we do is kill a native. I mean, wow."
But then he replied, in a slightly more serious tone: " But yeah, judging by the time, we should find somewhere safe , we just need to wait for everyone to be ready."

OOC: I was wondering something about the planet. If it is, as you say, a 1000 time bigger than earth, which is kind of....quite unusual but that doesn't matter, won't the gravity just be freaking huge and simply kill us? And you sway that the planet is one huge valley... but a planet is round (well mostly) and that would simply mean that there's a single ring of mountain around the planet, which, even there is quite... I don't know, I'm just having trouble imaging the planet as a whole when you describe it, so if you could give some precisions it would be great. Thank you in advance.
