Ransolm had never really been on an official mission for the Resistance. True, he’d flown a few times as part of a team, but never Leia coming to see him and giving him something where he’d be working completely on his own. But then given what it was and the constant threat of the First Order he could see why: most of her pilots were academy trained fighters. He was honestly expendable if everything went wrong.
Which is had shortly after hitting the atmosphere of Jakku. He thought he had checked everything before departing, but the hard landing proved otherwise as he had to just sit for several minutes to get his bearings. At least there was one light in the distance though whether it would be friend or foe was another matter entirely. Most of what he needed at this point was directions to possibly set off before the sun started rising, knocking and keeping one hand resting on his blaster.
