The door opens to a lush green place. They've landed in a forest glade of some kind. Deciduous in nature, but the leaves are somewhat odd in shape and very, very thick and tall. The grass is a green that's almost a blue

Spock, being rather well acquainted with turbulence, survives the landing still on his feet. He unbraces himself from whatever he had clung to, and makes his way down the ramp, tricorder in one hand and phaser in the other.
"Atmospheric conditions are as our vessel stated previously, Captain." he calls to Picard, eyes glued to the tricorder, "It would appear that her sensors are in working order."
Brainiac 5 also survives the landing without losing his balance once, both due to familiarity with space travel and being equipped with a flight ring. He follows Spock out of the pod and swiftly morphs his arm into a scanner, apparently not wanting to be outdone in the scientific areas.
"He's right," he adds. "I don't detect anything unusual either."
Leon was a slight bit annoyed, but didn't show it as he exited the ship. He could understand the science team wanting to be anxious to exit the ship and study the world, but the security team should always take point whenever you're exiting to unknown territory. He might have to have a word with Captain about that at some point.
He had his gun drawn, and began to sweep the perimeter around the left side of the pod.
If any crew members heard a soft 'oof' followed by a careful scramble down the ramp, that was just the result of Billy's graceless landing. As drastically as martial arts training had improved his balance and reduced the frequency of his clumsy moments, his body still had a bit of adjusting to do to be completely comfortable with gravity shifts.
After scanning the area for immediate threats and finding none, Billy suddenly realized that he was standing on an inhabitable planet other than the Earth he knew. He'd known this was coming, of course, but actually experiencing a place that previously existed only in his childhood dreams of distant stars was sufficient to shock him into silence.
As his gaze shifted from the twin moons set against the vivid sky to the depth of the forest before them, an awed whisper escaped him. "Marvelous."
