He confirmed that the ship would, indeed, pilot itself if they left it to its own devices, and that they should reach the jungle moon in a little under ten hours. Enough time for food, bathing, and rest. Also study of the language and skiff, since Steve believed he was coming piloting on the mission, and the Soldier didn't see a reason to tell him that wasn't the case and provoke an argument.
It would be much simpler to knock him out if he didn't see it coming.
He didn't sleep. But he did eat and sit for a while in a more rested state, so that when the moon came into view and they landed he was more alert. It was stunning, all lush green fields and rolling lakes, some ocean, some mountains, like a more primordial earth, back before humans had wrecked it all. There were settlements, though, and power with technology built carefully into the land to provide heating, fresh water, and lights with power sources that humanity had never discovered for themselves.
The skiff had barely landed before the Soldier aimed a hard punch at the back of Steve's head. Should he be successful, the poor bastard would wake up to a headache and a lot of supplies having been dumped on the surface for him, and no Bucky.
