A shocked look came over Skylos nerve as he stared at the satellite. Shaking his head he looked closely at his instruments. This was n't earth ! He 'd recently been there the coordinates were entirely wrong. Entering all the information that he knew about earthly concern Skylos waited for the computing device to render an explanation.

'' I am sorry to discord with you Queen Twitty ! '' Skylos told her. `` We are at the ill-timed coordinates for earth. ''

Twitty her eye still extensive turned to gaze at Skylos. `` I do n't care ! I spent two quants on that primitive mud ball ! I know earth when I see it, though now that you mention it, it does appear to be ... wrong ! ''

'' legal injury my tabby ? '' Skylos asked a little perplexed. `` In what way ? ''

'' I 'm not for certain. '' She said as she stared hard at the image. `` It 's like affair are missing and a few others are there that I do n't recall being there. ''

Skylos held his clapper as he awaited the readout from the reckoner. Four spectons later he was staring at the readout his mouth hanging undecided. Dropping like a rock into the command seat he continued to shake up his promontory.

Twitty shook Skylos when he failed to respond her dubiousness. `` Uh ... '' He said an almost vacant feel in his middle.

'' Damn it air force officer ! '' Reaching back she slapped him across his face. `` What is untimely ? ''

'' 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 command president. `` Wake the pit up commanding officer before I forget and smasher you with my pincer ! '' Twitty advised the wire hair clan Male.

winking a few times the commanding officer reached up rubbing the side of his face. Turning to look at Twitty she could see that the vacant aspect was all but gone.

'' Acor ... according to this, '' he said indicating the read-out. `` This is earthly concern, but ... ''

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

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

'' What ? ! What in the Hades do you imply ? '' 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 position four hundred forty six and a half quants ago. ( One thousand one hundred seventeen yr on earth. )

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

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

Glenna could see that Twitty was getting to a greater extent confused by the minute, poor Skylos was looking lost.

'' What in the figure of the smashing feline 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 face.

Skylos was still staring straight ahead shaking his principal.

Grasping his grimace Glenna looked into his oculus, `` Explain whatever it was that you did to Queen 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 readout she was also shaking her head, the data tended to agree with his assessment.

'' I do n't have sex how we got here. I do n't completely sympathise it. According to the data it was like sentence 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 repairs we did are only temporary. We 're going to have to set down so we can make far better hangout outside as well as inside. The affair is I 'm not sure we can land. The might grid is so feeble we might crash, if we do n't then we 'll be seriously depleted zip wise. '' Skylos told her as he started to begin an plan of attack of the planet.

Running out Glenna advised the others that they had to put down, plus they might crash. Twitty upon hearing this ran for the locomotive engine room.

Skylos was sweating bullets shaking his top dog he had to try, they had to survive. On net feeler Skylos said a supplicant to the peachy felid when the power increased ! `` I do n't cognize what 's going on but we might make it now. '' Skylos told all those onboard.

'' Though I still ca n't believe 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 power when we land. '' Skylos told her.

'' I 'm on it ! '' There was a surge for a second then the magnate started to climb another nine percent. `` Damn it ! That 's it I ca n't coax anymore. ''

'' It 's honorable, get for certain the relaxation are secured then yourself. I can halt this for two spectons, then we HAVE to land ! '' Skylos told her.

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

Ambrose felt the pack of cards lurch a bit as he tried to open 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 impress ! Suddenly he heard Niaco and Glenna 's vocalization.

'' We have to insure him and Adina. '' He heard Glenna saying. `` Skylos said we have to set down to revivify the ship. Though I am afraid we might doss down. ''

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

'' We appear to be, though I saw Twitty heading for the engine room. Let 's trust there 's Thomas More she can do. '' Glenna explained.

Niaco nodded then Roth and the other knight lifted Ambrose to get him secured. Wrena and the other Paladins carefully lifted Adina getting her into a more good military position. Quickly they all secured themselves as Twitty ran for the control elbow room.

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 land alone and you know it ! I may only hold key sailing and piloting, I do know when a pilot needs help. '' Skylos started to protest Twitty growled again quickly quieting him.

Sighing Skylos nodded then concentrated on the job at helping hand. `` Damn it ! The stabilizers are sluggish ! Even with the boost you got this is still going to be pugnacious. See if you can plot a line to an receptive area, '' Skylos instructed her.

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

Skylos nodded barely paying her care as the planet was quickly approaching. `` I 'm afraid I am going to throw to hold off on the retros until the finis moment to save power. ''

'' Alright, I have adjusted aero fins to help compensate when we enter the atmospheric state. '' 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 attempt to glide in as soon as we hit the Ionosphere. There 's barely enough there for the louver to birth an core. '' Skylos informed Twitty. `` Four hundred maclons to the exosphere, hang on it 's going to be a piddling bumpy with the stabiliser at half ! ''

Rapidly approaching the planet they were having to defend the entire time to sustain dominance. Suddenly with a lurch they hit the first layer. `` Entering the exosphere, make for certain the shields are up or we 're cooked ! '' Skylos told her.

'' Speed four maclons a one-half tinton and starting to decelerate ! '' Twitty informed Skylos.

'' goodness, keep an eye on it, make certainly we are at that, or humbled ! '' 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. `` cuticle are up but straining. ''

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

Twitty was nodding when the ship lurched again. `` Contact with the ionosphere ! Trying to adjust, the aero fins
are starting to heat up ! '' Twitty 's hands were flying across the attitude mastery of the 5. `` Ah ! Better temperature dropping ! ''

'' Keep an eye on then. We 're only halfway, I 'd say we 've got another thirty two hecksons ( about L Roman mile ) until the surface. If we can induce 20 two hecksons we should be ok. '' Skylos told Twitty.

Looking over at him Twitty saw that he was sweating as he had a near demise traction on the controls.

Almost ten spectons later they broke through the clouds. Twitty had a course plotted not too far from the huge pyramid building she 'd seen earlier.

'' Landing site ahead, '' Twitty advised Skylos as she also applied insistence to the controls.

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

'' Coming in a small quick Skylos ! '' Twitty yelled above the straining ship.

'' Yes I know ! '' There was a sudden quivering as the ship started to skip, its shields barely keeping the ship off the priming. Cursing under his breath Skylos tapped into the last of the power. Shaking the ship stopped, half buried not far from the large pyramid.

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

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

Twitty 's heart went all-encompassing then she whispered to Mileen. `` If you did then you 'd cause to shoot charge of him. Are you really prepared for that ? Now ? ''

Mileen thought a present moment then shook her capitulum no bowing to Twitty.

Skylos came stumbling out of the command running back to the locomotive engine room. Twitty on his paws. Looking around Skylos nodded then sighed. `` Thank the neat felid ! We still have power. Though it is going to take a lot of oeuvre to fix everything. First thing we need to retrieve the metal, then we 'll need liquid state taak'in to re-power the railway locomotive. ''

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

'' I 've got barely adequate left to scan the ship but we 'll have to get the taak'in soon. I am not wanting to try and resume the railway locomotive manually. We have to hold at least one engine online. ''

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

'' Taak'in ? Is n't that a park worthless alloy ? It 's so soft it has hardly any use but for push. '' Niaco replied.

'' On our public yes, though this is ground although be it hundreds of quants in the past tense. It was operose to find in our sentence when St. Ambrose and I were here. I just hope the local anaesthetic are n't too war like. Would n't want to end up killing all of them to get what we need to get back. '' Twitty told all of them.
With a groan Saint Ambrose finally managed to get his eyes open. `` No, '' he whispered still faint. `` We will not kill any of them. You still do n't know where we are do you Twitty. '' Ambrose told her.

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

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

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

Ambrose waited as what he 'd just said sank in. `` You mean to enjoin me that THIS is THAT Acropolis ! ! ? ? '' Niaco almost shouted. `` The plaza that our ancestors launched from to get back the twelve worlds of the realm ! ''

Saint Ambrose got a smile on his face as he watched the warring emotions play across Twitty 's boldness. `` That 's why you went there ! Even with the mind shield you somehow screw ! '' Twitty said her mouthpiece open staring at Saint Ambrose with awe.

'' I was n't really sure until I found this. '' Ambrose said as he pulled a small amber decoration from his air hole. `` It 's the same one that I wear now. ''

Twitty stared at the one around Ambrose 's cervix, then the one he held in his grasp. `` The antediluvian royal insignia, '' Twitty said with a gasp. `` How ? I never saw you pick it up. I was with you the whole time ! ''

Ambrose smiled as he nodded. `` I obviously put this where I knew I would take care later. I happened to lean against the wall opening where this was hidden. I think that 's when the cuticle started to crack. I kept this as it held a lot of some feeling to me in my intellect though I knew not what. ``

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

'' I 've been better Captain, '' Saint Ambrose said as he watched the surprise spirit on Skylos face. `` How bad is the price ? ''

Sighing Skylos started in on what he 'd obtain. `` The mere fact that we landed with most shields in place kept structural legal injury to nothing. I am afraid though, that the power power grid is seriously depleted. We have to find a gravid quantity of liquid state Taak'in or we might never impart. ''

Ambrose was nodding as he was trying to call back something that he 'd translate before about this part of earth 's story. `` As I remember in our clock time Taak'in was n't that readily available on earth. Though on most of the dozen planets it 's a common useless subdued metal. ''

'' Yes sire I know. I just hope we can find enough to get space worthy. We know not what the atmosphere here might sustain upon us. '' Skylos said a picayune hesitantly. Remember the globe of our time we had to hold limited medicine in order to observe control. ''

'' I remember Captain. '' Looking around at all of them Ambrose sat taller as he told them. `` Limit being outdoors 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 much as potential. I need to step out as soon as possible. ''

St. Ambrose arose on precarious legs as he stepped toward the hatch. `` sire ? '' Skylos suddenly looked up from an instrument with wide eyes. `` According to this you have Taak'in on you ! It 's in an impure form but I am reading Taak'in ! ''

Ambrose nodded as Skylos stepped up to him with a modest electronic pad. Skylos started to choke it slowly over Saint Ambrose listening as the device started to beep faster. Finally Skylos stopped at a sack of Ambrose, reaching in Ambrose brought out the medal. This of track made the gimmick go unbalanced !

Skylos eyes got large when he looked at the reading on the twist. `` Sire, follow me please ? '' Ambrose nodded as everyone went back to the engine elbow room. Opening a panel Skylos, reaching in, withdrew a container with a night burned looking chunky metallic element in it.

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

Ambrose handed the Captain the ribbon. Watching Skylos carefully placed the medallion in the center of the at bottom sleeping accommodation. Nodding Skylos closed the panel then flipped a few switch then a few more. Suddenly several machines that had been still came to life !

Nodding Skylos turned to all of them. We have twenty five percentage power for now. Though I ca n't maintain it there that long as it is a solidness form. It will help to ease repairs faster. We have to detect More sire soon ! ''

Nodding Saint Ambrose again walked to the hatching he had to get out for a few bit. They all needed to in rules of order to retain sane. Looking at the view screen Ambrose saw that no one had ventured near yet, good ! Maybe they 'd delay away until they left. Saint Ambrose smiled then shook his head they never had luck that near !

Stepping out Ambrose took a thick lung cleansing breath as did the others. Nodding Saint Ambrose could almost feel the conflict that the air in the ship and out here made. Shaking his point he could feel his feline English trying to take over ! Hell at this rate they would shoemaker's last more than a few hours before they might succumb.

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

Walking back towards the aero fins he started to find out it a bit more. `` assistance ! beginner ! facilitate me please ! It 's getting heard to breathe ! ''

roar Ambrose sprung into action as he started to throw rock candy and dirt away from the tail end of the aero fin. `` Where are you ! '' Saint 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 female voice was saying.

Ambrose felt the muscles in his arm start to ache as he dug and pulled faster. `` most there ! '' He yelled as he was already almost two feet down under the fin.

Beside him three of his knights were also digging as fast as they could. Finally two spectons later Ambrose broke through. A young woman 's font appeared as she started to throw her arms around Ambrose then stopped. a aspect of great shock absorber on her human face as she could only stare at all four of the beings in front line of her.

Falling to her genu St. Ambrose heard her susurration. `` Thank you Cit-Chac-Coh, I am gloomy I almost threw my implements of war around you. I thank you and your precaution for saving me. How may I wait on you ? ''

Ambrose 's backtalk dropped overt ! Cit-Chac-Coh ? By the expectant feline ! That was the true name they used to call the great felid ! She thought he was the with child feline ! ! ? Shaking his head, ‘ Great,'he thought, ‘ that was all he needed right now !'

'' Please arise Cy Young woman. '' Looking at the others Ambrose closed his optic reverting to his human human body. Opening his optic he saw all his horse with a horrified facial expression. Looking at the shaking female they nodded then very slowly reverted to their seldom used human sort. `` There is that better ? ''

The Edward Young woman looked up her rima oris in a dandy O. `` It is as you wish. '' She said as she could only gaze .
