Hao Ren and his team had just landed on L'Haronne for a couple of days, and due to them being trapped within the atmosphere, most of Nolan's planetary observation devices could not be deployed. That left them with little information about the planet. The moldy tomes were full of inaccurate corrections and ambiguous annotations. Even the information gathered by Nolan's probes could not give them a lot of valuable details, so when faced with a sudden "natural disaster", Hao Ren was totally out of his depths.
However, he was a hundred percent sure that L'Haronne was facing grave danger. It happened just as Hao Ren was about to lead the team into the area. The timing was almost per-determined.
This reminded him of his talent as a "trouble magnet", and while that was just a random jest by Raven 12345, he had to take it seriously despite how preposterous it may have sounded.
