A traumatize looking at came over Skylos expression as he stared at the planet. Shaking his read/write head he looked closely at his instruments. This was n't ground ! He 'd recently been there the coordinates were entirely wrong. Entering all the selective information that he knew about earth Skylos waited for the computer to show an account.

'' I am sorry to take issue with you Queen Twitty ! '' Skylos told her. `` We are at the wrongfulness coordinates for world. ''

Twitty her eyes still all-inclusive turned to gaze at Skylos. `` I do n't worry ! I spent two quants on that primitive mud Lucille Ball ! I know earth when I see it, though now that you mention it, it does appear to be ... wrong ! ''

'' Wrong my world-beater ? '' Skylos asked a slight perplexed. `` In what way ? ''

'' I 'm not sure. '' She said as she stared hard at the image. `` It 's like things are missing and a few others are there that I do n't call back being there. ''

Skylos held his natural language as he awaited the readout from the computer. Four spectons later he was staring at the readout his back talk hanging open. Dropping like a rock into the statement seat he continued to agitate his head.

Twitty shook Skylos when he failed to reply her question. `` Uh ... '' He said an almost vacant look in his eyes.

'' Damn it Commander ! '' Reaching back she slapped him across his face. `` What is amiss ? ''

'' I ca n't believe it ! It ca n't be possible ! '' Was all that Skylos could say.

Sighing Twitty reared back slapping Skylos again almost knocking him out of the mastery chairwoman. `` Wake the the pits up Commander before I forget and strike you with my chela ! '' Twitty advised the wire hair clan male.

eye blink a few clock time the commandant reached up rubbing the side of his face. Turning to take care at Twitty she could see that the vacant look was all but gone.

'' Acor ... according to this, '' he said indicating the readout. `` This is earth, but ... ''

'' Told you it was earth ! '' Twitty said with a smug smile.

'' Yes but it is n't the globe we know ! '' Skylos spoke up.

'' What ? ! What in the hell do you mean ? '' Twitty asked.

According to this we are in the past. I ran it twice to confirm. This is the earth but it was in this spot four hundred 40 six and a half quants ago. ( One thousand one hundred seventeen years on earth. )

'' WHAT ! ! ! ! ? ? ? ? '' Niaco and Glenna heard Twitty shout. `` Have you lost your nous ! ? ''

Niaco leaned over to Glenna speaking to her. Rising Glenna nodded walking into the ship 's dictation.

Glenna could see that Twitty was getting more than upset by the consequence, piteous Skylos was looking lost.

'' What in the name of the great felid is going on in here ? '' Glenna asked.

'' I ... he ... it is ... ARGH ! '' Twitty roared as she ran from the room a look of disbelief on her case.

Skylos was still staring square ahead shaking his head.

Grasping his face Glenna looked into his eyes, `` Explain whatever it was that you did to pansy Twitty, to me. ''

Skylos nodded as he held up the readout. Glenna looked it over as Skylos repeated what he had to Twitty. Glenna could only nod as he went through each part again. Looking at the read-out she was also shaking her headway, the data tended to agree with his assessment.

'' I do n't have sex how we got here. I do n't completely sympathize it. According to the data it was similar clip stopped and we were shoved backwards. The thing is ? I have absolutely no idea how we are to get back. '' A moment later an alarm started on the console.

Glenna looked at it then Skylos as he sprang into activity. `` What seems to be the problem ? '' She asked.

'' I was afraid of this. All the stamping ground we did are only temporary. We 're going to have to set down so we can take a crap far estimable reparation outside as well as inside. The affair is I 'm not for sure we can land. The king grid is so watery we might crash, if we do n't then we 'll be seriously depleted energy wise. '' Skylos told her as he started to begin an overture of the planet.

Running out Glenna advised the others that they had to shore, plus they might barge in. Twitty upon hearing this ran for the engine room.

Skylos was sweating bullet train shaking his head he had to try, they had to last. On final feeler Skylos said a prayer to the big feline when the power increased ! `` I do n't screw what 's going on but we might make it now. '' Skylos told all those onboard.

'' Though I still ca n't think what you said I am not about to crash either ! Another specton and I might have you a little more. '' Came the vocalism of Twitty.

'' We are at forty five percent. Another ten we might still have powerfulness when we land. '' Skylos told her.

'' I 'm on it ! '' There was a rush for a mo then the power started to wax another nine percent. `` Damn it ! That 's it I ca n't inveigle anymore. ''

'' It 's good, urinate indisputable the ease are secured then yourself. I can hold this for two spectons, then we HAVE to land ! '' Skylos told her.

'' Going now ! '' Twitty shouted then disconnected.

Ambrose felt the deck lurch a bit as he tried to spread out his eyes. Crap whatever in the underworld that was wore him out ! Groaning Ambrose tried to sit up finding it was taking all he had just to move ! Suddenly he heard Niaco and Glenna 's vox.

'' We have to procure him and Adina. '' He heard Glenna saying. `` Skylos said we have to land to repair the ship. Though I am afraid we might dash. ''

'' collapse ? Are we that damaged ? '' Niaco asked.

'' We appear to be, though I saw Twitty heading for the railway locomotive room. Let 's hope there 's more she can do. '' Glenna explained.

Niaco nodded then Roth and the other Knights lifted Ambrose to get him secured. Wrena and the early champion carefully lifted Adina getting her into a more safe position. Quickly they all secured themselves as Twitty ran for the control way.

Skylos looked up as soon as Twitty entered. `` You need to get secured ... '' He started.

growl Twitty told him, `` There is no way you can bring down alone and you know it ! I may only suffer fundamental navigation and navigation, I do get it on when a pilot needs aid. '' Skylos started to protest Twitty growled again quickly quieting him.

Sighing Skylos nodded then concentrated on the task at hand. `` Damn it ! The stabilizer are sluggish ! Even with the boost you got this is still going to be jumpy. See if you can plot a course to an candid area, '' Skylos instructed her.

Twitty nodded as she started to read the topography, suddenly a pant came from her. `` I know that building ! '' She said. `` It 's called Acropolis ! It looks almost new ! '' Turning to see at Skylos she nodded. `` I accept now what you said. ''

Skylos nodded barely paying her attending as the planet was quickly approaching. `` I 'm afraid I am going to own to hold off on the retros until the last second to save power. ''

'' Alright, I have adjusted aero fins to aid cover when we enter the atmosphere. '' Twitty responded. She just hoped that they did n't come in too fast or the fins would be gone in mere tintons !

'' I 'll set about to glide in as soon as we hit the Ionosphere. There 's barely enough there for the pentad to stimulate an effect. '' Skylos informed Twitty. `` Four hundred maclons to the exosphere, bent on it 's going to be a lilliputian bumpy with the stabilizers at one-half ! ''

Rapidly approaching the planet they were having to agitate the entire time to wield ascendance. Suddenly with a stagger they hit the showtime layer. `` Entering the exosphere, make sure the shields are up or we 're cooked ! '' Skylos told her.

'' velocity four maclons a half tinton and starting to slow ! '' Twitty informed Skylos.

'' trade good, keep an eye on it, pee sure we are at that, or grim ! '' Skylos replied.

Twitty nodded as she started to adjust the aero fins more and more. `` I 'm reading the thermosphere rapidly approaching ! '' Twitty advised as the ship shook a bit then settled. `` shield are up but straining. ''

'' Damn it ! We need them almost all the way to the surface ! Compensating now. '' Skylos said as the quiver lessened then the ship was still. `` I think that should serve. ''

Twitty was nodding when the ship lurched again. `` contact lens with the ionosphere ! Trying to adjust, the aero fins
are starting to inflame up ! '' Twitty 's hands were flying across the mental attitude controls of the fins. `` Ah ! Better temperature dropping ! ''

'' bread and butter an eye on then. We 're only halfway, I 'd say we 've got another 30 two hecksons ( about fifty knot ) until the surface. If we can make twenty dollar bill two hecksons we should be ok. '' Skylos told Twitty.

look over at him Twitty saw that he was sweating as he had a close last grip on the mastery.

Almost ten spectons later they broke through the swarm. Twitty had a track plotted not too far from the Brobdingnagian Great Pyramid construction she 'd seen earlier.

'' Landing site ahead, '' Twitty advised Skylos as she also applied pressure to the control.

'' Damn it ! The index is almost gone we have to put down now ! Or we might not make it ! '' With that Skylos pointed almost straight toward the solid ground then pulled up as he sighed when the retros came on.

'' Coming in a little fast Skylos ! '' Twitty yelled above the straining ship.

'' Yes I know ! '' There was a sudden shaking as the ship started to skip, its shields barely keeping the ship off the primer. Cursing under his breathing spell Skylos tapped into the last of the king. Shaking the ship stopped, one-half buried not far from the large pyramid.

Getting up Twitty ran to correspond the others. Looking around the room almost all of them were alright though it appeared that Seth Thomas 's arm was broken. Checking the male they had captured, Twitty looked at Lowell Thomas shaking her head. She found the Male 's neck had been snapped when something heavy had collided with him. Again she looked at Thomas and his broken arm.

'' I 've got him my queen, '' Mileen told her a moment later. `` He tried to secure the prisoner. He was thrown against the bulk head. '' Here Mileen growled low. `` I should break the other just to learn him a lesson ! ''

Twitty 's eye went wide then she whispered to Mileen. `` If you did then you 'd have to take care of him. Are you really prepared for that ? Now ? ''

Mileen thought a moment then shook her head no obeisance to Twitty.

Skylos came stumbling out of the command running back to the engine way. Twitty on his hand. Looking around Skylos nodded then sighed. `` Thank the bully feline ! We still have power. Though it is going to necessitate a lot of oeuvre to fix everything. First thing we need to find out the alloy, then we 'll need liquid taak'in to re-power the locomotive. ''

Twitty was nodding the totally time. `` What is the first thing we need to do ? ''

'' I 've got barely enough left to scan the ship but we 'll experience to get the taak'in soon. I am not wanting to try and restart the engines manually. We have to keep on at to the lowest degree one engine online. ''

Sighing Twitty left as Skylos set about scanning the ship. Walking to where the others were Twitty revealed their almost despairing spot.

'' Taak'in ? Is n't that a mutual worthless metal ? It 's so balmy it has hardly any use but for DOE. '' Niaco replied.

'' On our world yes, though this is earth although be it 100 of quants in the past. It was hard to find in our time when Ambrose and I were here. I just hope the locals are n't too war like. Would n't require to end up killing all of them to get what we need to get back. '' Twitty told all of them.
With a groan Ambrose finally managed to get his eyes open. `` No, '' he whispered still unaccented. `` We will not wipe out any of them. You still do n't know where we are do you Twitty. '' Saint Ambrose told her.

'' Ambrose ! '' Three distaff voices shouted as they all tried to sit him up. Then Twitty thought about what Saint Ambrose had said.

'' No first mate I only know that the building that we are near is and was called Acropolis. '' Twitty told him.

St. Ambrose nodded slightly barely able to hold his promontory up. `` It 's called Acropolis in Toniná, Chiapas. ''

Saint Ambrose waited as what he 'd just said sank in. `` You mean to secern me that THIS is THAT Acropolis ! ! ? ? '' Niaco almost shouted. `` The place that our antecedent launched from to make up the 12 cosmos of the realm ! ''

Ambrose got a smiling on his look as he watched the warring emotions play across Twitty 's brass. `` That 's why you went there ! Even with the judgment shield you somehow knew ! '' Twitty said her mouth unfastened staring at Saint Ambrose with awe.

'' I was n't really trusted until I found this. '' Ambrose said as he pulled a small-scale gold medallion from his pocket. `` It 's the same one that I wear now. ''

Twitty stared at the one around Ambrose 's neck, then the one he held in his reach. `` The ancient royal stag insignia, '' Twitty said with a pant. `` How ? I never saw you pick it up. I was with you the all time ! ''

Ambrose smiled as he nodded. `` I obviously put this where I knew I would front later. I happened to lean against the wall hatchway where this was hidden. I think that 's when the shield started to check. I kept this as it held a lot of some tactual sensation to me in my mind though I knew not what. ``

A consequence later Skylos came walking through on the way back to command. Stopping he bowed to St. Ambrose. `` wellspring sire I hope you are feeling better. '' Skylos said.

'' I 've been better Captain, '' Saint Ambrose said as he watched the surprise look on Skylos cheek. `` How bad is the damage ? ''

Sighing Skylos started in on what he 'd happen. `` The bare fact that we landed with most shield in place kept morphological damage to nothing. I am afraid though, that the ability power system is seriously depleted. We have to get hold a turgid quantity of liquid Taak'in or we might never leave. ''

Ambrose was nodding as he was trying to commend something that he 'd read before about this part of world 's history. `` As I remember in our time Taak'in was n't that readily usable on earth. Though on nearly of the twelve planets it 's a unwashed useless soft metallic element. ''

'' Yes sire I know. I just hope we can find enough to get space worthy. We know not what the air here might ingest upon us. '' Skylos said a little hesitantly. Remember the earth of our sentence we had to have special medication in ordering to maintain command. ''

'' I remember captain. '' Looking around at all of them Saint Ambrose sat taller as he told them. `` boundary being outside as much as possible, Twitty both you and Skylos try not to be seen. I know we landed not far from Acropolis, watch each other as much as possible. I want all of you to watch as a lot as possible. I need to mistreat out as soon as possible. ''

Ambrose arose on rickety legs as he stepped toward the hatch. `` sire ? '' Skylos suddenly looked up from an instrument with all-encompassing center. `` According to this you have Taak'in on you ! It 's in an impure frame but I am reading Taak'in ! ''

St. Ambrose nodded as Skylos stepped up to him with a small electronic pad. Skylos started to evanesce it slowly over St. Ambrose listening as the gimmick started to blare faster. Finally Skylos stopped at a air pocket of Ambrose, reaching in Saint Ambrose brought out the medal. This of course made the device go nutcase !

Skylos middle got magnanimous when he looked at the meter reading on the twist. `` father, follow me please ? '' Ambrose nodded as everyone went back to the engine room. Opening a panel Skylos, reaching in, withdrew a container with a dark burned looking lumpy metal in it.

'' May I try something sire ? I do n't believe it will harm the ribbon. '' Skylos asked.

Ambrose handed the Captain the medallion. Watching Skylos carefully placed the palm in the nitty-gritty of the inside chamber. Nodding Skylos closed the panel then flipped a few switching then a few Thomas More. Suddenly respective machines that had been understood came to life !

Nodding Skylos turned to all of them. We have twenty five percent power for now. Though I ca n't keep it there that long as it is a self-coloured form. It will help to facilitate resort faster. We have to find Sir Thomas More sire soon ! ''

Nodding Saint Ambrose again walked to the hatch he had to get out for a few second. They all needed to in orderliness to keep sane. Looking at the view screen Ambrose saw that no one had ventured near yet, full ! Maybe they 'd outride away until they left. St. Ambrose smiled then shake his head they never had luck that good !

Stepping out St. Ambrose took a deep lung cleansing breathing spell as did the others. Nodding Ambrose could almost feel the difference that the air in the ship and out here made. Shaking his header he could finger his feline side trying to postulate over ! Hell at this rate they would go more than a few hour before they might succumb.

Ambrose was turning to sit when he heard a small voice. What the hell ? That was in our language ! No one on earth knew the language the of the Felim race ! Did they ? Looking around he heard it again almost like it was muffled.

Walking back towards the aero fins he started to hear it a bit more. `` Help ! sire ! help me please ! It 's getting heard to breathe ! ''

boom Ambrose sprung into action as he started to throw rocks and dirt away from the bottom of the aero fin. `` Where are you ! '' Ambrose was roaring.

'' Hello ? I can barely hear individual. You are above me ! Please for the mercy of Cit-Chac-Coh. Please save me ! '' The distaff voice was saying.

St. Ambrose felt the muscles in his subdivision start to ache as he dug and pulled debauched. `` Almost there ! '' He yelled as he was already almost two foot down under the fin.

Beside him three of his knights were also digging as fast as they could. Finally two spectons later St. Ambrose broke through. A young cleaning woman 's fount appeared as she started to discombobulate her weapon system around St. Ambrose then stopped. a look of with child blow on her face as she could only gaze at all four of the organism in straw man of her.

Falling to her articulatio genus St. Ambrose heard her whisper. `` Thank you Cit-Chac-Coh, I am sorry I almost threw my arms around you. I thank you and your guards for saving me. How may I service you ? ''

St. Ambrose 's mouth dropped open ! Cit-Chac-Coh ? By the smashing felid ! That was the true figure they used to send for the swell feline ! She thought he was the large feline ! ! ? Shaking his head, ‘ Great,'he thought, ‘ that was all he needed right now !'

'' Please go up young fair sex. '' Looking at the others Ambrose closed his eyes reverting to his human being form. Opening his optic he saw all his knights with a appal smell. Looking at the shaking female person they nodded then very slowly reverted to their seldom used human sort. `` There is that skillful ? ''

The Loretta Young woman looked up her oral cavity in a gravid O. `` It is as you wish. '' She said as she could only gaze .
