For the time being until Ave joins, one of us will have to go alone. We might as well search around independently, but we should remain in constant communications range.

As for the scientific accuracy, it's possible for some of the aspects to be handwaved. For example, the laser's color could just be a digital emulation when viewed through a computer monitor to serve as a visual cue. Sort of how like Mass Effect justifies sound in space by having ships equipped with sound emulators that generate audio according to what is going on outside.
