Anyone that is not on the bridge--Captain, XO, pilot, navigator--is going to be going down to the surface. Yes, even the mechanic . As to your question about protocol, I'm not sure what you're asking.

Of course the mechanic goes down, you might have a fancy Wey-Yu quad, but if it breaks down you'll still need a grease monkey to fix it XD

Also, regarding posts I kinda need to sleep now, but I'll post tomorrow :)
