The creaks were getting progressively louder every second that we stayed on the ship, and I wasn't sure how much longer the space vehicle would be able to take the pressures of the ocean.
A lot of people make the mistake of thinking that, just because a spaceship can fly around in space where there's no atmosphere at all it should also be able to fly underwater. But in the vast majority of cases that simply wasn't the truth. In space, a ship has to worry about a single atmosphere breaking free into the vacuum. Under the water of the ocean, a submarine has to worry about tens of atmospheres worth of pressure crushing it like a soda can under a boot, and that was just in Earth's oceans.
On a planet like this, there was no telling how much pressure was now being exerted on the ship.
"Okay, does anyone know any teleportation magic like the Squadron Leader did earlier?" I asked. "Because if not, this is going to be a very short-lived reunion."
