"We have several months worth of food, water, and air but not enough to last until we expect resupply or rescue. So we need to acquire more. Preliminary scans indicate that the planet probably has breathable air and clearly has water so our main limit is going to be food."
"We need to either find existing food sources or create new ones. We don't have any farming equipment, but should be able to improvise. This is where I expect people to volunteer ideas from the equipment they've been using."
Bright manages to pull together a short little speech in the time it takes to set everything up.
"On this day November 11th 0080 on the island of New Atlanis, on the planet Blue Noa of the Septimus system I, Captain Bright Noa of the Earth Federation, declare the foundation of man’s first interstellar settlement."
"After a year of war humanity can once again look to the stars with hope, and with the knowledge that we are not alone in the universe. On this new planet which is neither Earth nor space we can build a society that is prepared to meet the creators of the technology that brought us here or serve as worthy replacements should they have fallen to the depths of time."
He plants the flag.
A good enough speech that even Char manages to refrain from slow clapping and claps genuinenly.
Kai will complain that the speech didn't include anything about being on Shiden field but does have enough sense to wait until after the applause ends.
Fraw will use the comms relay to forward a recording of the speech back to Pluto, and from there presumably Earth.
