I miss my family - Elliot

We need to get off this planet. I mean, the morning started out so well. I took a team of six out to find the structures from the planetary scans and... we were all in high spirits, I mean, who wouldn’t be? These structures would be clues to another sentient race. It was highly unlikely that another colony would be out this far. We were going to be in the freaking history books. Everything was going ok. We were a few miles from the ship when our radios picked up an actual signal! It sounded like an SOS...we got overly excited naturally, and decided to enter the water to follow it. That decision cost three lives. I mean, half my team! They got ripped to shreds by...something. They died, screaming...alone in the cold dark waters. I...I’m not going back in that god-forsaken ocean again, I refuse. Some of the animals on this planet, they look sick too. Weird pustules on the skin. Oddly sluggish. I think we should leave, but Diana said we should stay. She thinks the biopatent payoffs will be worth it, but...but those families will never see their loved ones again...they don’t care about no payoffs! We can’t return the bodies! I don’t care about the accolades or the history books. I just want to see Laila and the kids. Oh man...I miss the smell of my wife's hair...the kids tackling me at the door again. That’s all I want, to get out of here alive. Please.
