I'm with you on their stupidity and correct me if I am wrong... but weren't they basically like the vanguard of an interplanetary settlement project?
therefore, basically the scientists without good critical analysis skills and a prediction for tunnel vision that makes them best suited for "getting the job done" and not getting "bogged down" with "risk assessments" and safety/security protocols.
that's sort of how I remember it, which may be conflated with my own experiences of working alongside similarly smooth brained "scientists".
Lol is "smooth brained" a dig at people with less surface area in their gray matter?
Kinda, but they had a planet they had already surveyed and took a detour because a preliminary scan of a closer planet suggested it may be a nicer colony spot. Which okay, but I assume your ship has the ability to do some from orbit research on the surface, and maybe send like a droid down first? There's a huge ass empty alien city on the surface, I'm 100% even modern satellites could detect that. That alone would suggest there's something concerning on this planets surface.
Idk just seemed like a foolish move coming from a group that's been training for space exploration.
Droid expensive, nerds cheap
