For a brief moment the crew knew nothing. Suddenly the interior of the ship vanished, and a moment later, they found themselves on the surface of the planet, standing outside what appeared to be an access point to the ship. Half a moment later, Siphon himself appeared along with Aya, seeming to appear from a sparkling white light that snapped down from the sky.
The ship itself did appear to be much like Lilith's own, at least what they could see of it. More than 75% of it was buried beneath the sand, and it was a wonder any of it was still above from the looks of things.
Before any of them could say anything, Siphon spoke up with an almost apologetic look.
"Apologies for being outside, but the scanners were having difficulty penetrating the ship hull to determine what we'd be beaming into. Figured better out in the sand than to beam inside the sand and have your first breath inside that ship be a lung full of sand potentially. That and you know, beaming inside of a wall is not high on my list of things to do today, thank you very much."
Aya meanwhile had gone off to one side, investigating part of the ship that stuck out of the ground. While the others talked, she checked it out, stopping short when she realized parts of the ship had literally been scorched and damaged, and it didn't appear to have been from the re-entry. Which meant this ship had been shot down, or seen weapons fire prior to crashing.
"Hey, you guys should see this!"
Upon arriving by her, only a few meters away, they too would see the scorch marks that went along one side of the ship as far as the eye could see it into the ground anyway.
