Why land on the water and risk bacteria, alien fish, etc? Also, looks like the lander was moved too.
Best thing when you start an expedition on an alien planet is to get your lowerbody soaking wet, just to make sure you will get those blisters and you can go with sick leave asap!!!
As for the dropship, it stays in place so the water is possibly related to tides, small tides though, so an ocean or sea has to be near, so does aquatic lifeforms, there is also vegatation and assuming Waterston has knowledge there should be birds and stuff, so makes me wonder, why didnt they choose this planet in the first place to colonize instead of that unknown Origae-6, this is much closer, and how do they check these planets, is it by ftl drones or telesecopes, if their original destiny was further away then this planet, then why did they miss this, and they should have seen the structures etc, all this makes me believe more that the Covenant crew is set up from the beginning.
Its like yeah man we are gonna colonize Mars, between Mars and Earth is also a planet and that one contains superior alien lifeforns, so lets not pay attention to that, pack your bags we are heading to Mars.
