you get a competent, and pretty high grade level, but no military grade pilot, however. it's not on record this place you're going to is violent or dangerous, nevermind it's your job to find out. the work ship you normally have is a fine standard to do this kind of scouting run to the world.
maybe it is no world, who knows. the medic of course has to heal in medical, the other soldier shrugs and say's they're billeted for the QRV team. in case it goes south. ok then. they won't be tagging along with you directly.

ok so first problem is you're lost, you think. turns out stellar navigation is hard without any source like a planet or some suns to anchor your direction to. like say a star like a FUCKING PULSAR STAR. oh, ok, that might be a problem. the laymans understanding is simple, and this is a star at the end of its life spinning randomly and casting cones of death radiation out to a distance of, say, several entire star systems. if these rotate wrong, anything within a several lightyear radius is not safe. including you. or those ships you're detecting nearby.
it might be ships, it's broadcasting IFF after all. you could probably swing by there for a quick glance, or this might be too dangerous, or a trap. it's other people maybe, at least.
