Mission Status: The Scramble Squad had been travelling in space in search of another discovery. After a few weeks, they located another planet. Their hope was this new world would be safer and inhabited by friendlier lifeforms.

Scortch was piloting the ship toward the new planet. Coper was staring out the main window, examining their discovery. He could see the planet was smaller than Jellynosis. Its colouration was drastically different too. What he perceived to land was mainly deep muted purples, and it was one large mass of land with no visible separations. As well as, unlike the previous planet, this one appeared to have water, meaning there was a high chance for the planet to sustain life and an ecosystem.

"Hey captain, whatcha thinking about?" Scortch asked.

While still looking out the window, Coper replied. "I was thinking about how this expedition we are on may be more difficult than anticipated. I knew the journey would not be easy, but I would hate it if something happened to either you or Pappy."

"Coper, we all knew this adventure would be ruff, but were here to do something our kind has never done before."

Coper nodded. He knew Scortch was right, but the feeling of worry still sat in his chest as they came closer to this new uncharted world.

The ship landed on the planet's surface with a 'thud.' Everything was quiet. Until Pappy came cheerfully running towards the exit bay.

"New planet! New planet! New planet!"

Pappy quickly put his helmet on and was impatiently waiting for the bay door to open. Once Coper and Scortch put their helmets on, Scortch opened the hatch.

The bay door opened and slowly revealed a lush and strange forest. Unlike the other planets' bare and empty landscapes, this planet had thick foliage and was teaming with new and different plants. There were massive trees that towered over them. Smaller plants grew around the tree trunks and produced what looked like fruit. Despite the growing ecosystem, everything around them was silent.

Coper held onto Pappy quickly before he could bound outside the ship.

"Hold on Pappy. We need to be more cautious than last time. We were too naive about Jellynosis, and because of that, we were almost eaten. This time we need to stick together and examine the land carefully."

The Eggnots quietly and slowly made their way off the ship. Coper was leading the way, examining the new world around him. Scorctch was behind him, also looking around at this strange place. Pappy, however, was less cautious as he admired the plants.

Once they touched the ground, they started to make their way further into the forest.
