[They will, thanks! They don't do something like ignore Wolfwood, because this is still an alien planet with unknown hazards and communication is important and blah blah blah, but they're going to get a start on taking samples if Wolfwood is going to focus on the big picture. Their first victim is the mossy groundcover that surrounds the area the shuttle landed.
And - okay, Rin's not a plant biologist, or any kind of biologist really, but on close inspection the tufts shade from a light green at the surface to a more red-purple at the base of their little fronds, and they all interlock together like the plant is actively weaving itself into a microscale net. They make sure to take a few photos of that, then move on. Any interest or wonder they feel, they're keeping it entirely buttoned up as they work.]
Currently stable. We should look for evidence of fractures. Floating islands like this might fall apart.
