[On the other hand... Rin absolutely doesn't want to be down there on the planet. They don't prove it in direct statements but mostly in stalling tactics involving forwarding safety protocols to everyone, double- and triple-checking suit filters and air supplies, insisting on a formatting check of the shuttle's systems...
Generally making a rule-based nuisance of themself in non-usual ways, in other words. But this is, as Captain Drake has noted, the mission - and so eventually, things get underway, mostly due to Rin having run out of things to safety-check.
From the moment they leave Rin dives into their CL-10, monitoring not the shuttle's piloting (they don't have a license for any kind of shuttle flying) but all of the other markers on the planet. They're not staring out through the shuttle windows at the floating islands or the faint creatures or any of it, they're diving into the datafeeds of all of them as they pick a chair on the shuttle and don't move from it until they've finally settled onto a solid surface.
Even then, they linger at the shuttle lock and stare from behind their filter-mask at the plateau that extends before them. The first step onto alien soil, should any be eager for it, is there for the taking.]
... Recommend leaving helmet cameras on at all times during exploration.
