Liam Kosta introduces himself while the shuttles descend. I believe he is a long term party member and romantic interest, so we will keep him around. Also existent and on the team is Cora Harper, and she seems cool, but Sara Ryder can't date her, so whatever.

The surface of the world is a wreck, with alien buildings already around and lightning storms constantly over the surface. So naturally, the shuttles are hit by lightning and crash.
