A ball over look came over Skylos face as he stared at the planet. Shaking his head he looked closely at his legal document. This was n't solid ground ! He 'd recently been there the coordinate were entirely legal injury. Entering all the information that he knew about land Skylos waited for the computer to render an account.

'' I am sorry to disagree with you Queen Twitty ! '' Skylos told her. `` We are at the wrong coordinates for globe. ''

Twitty her oculus still wide turned to stare at Skylos. `` I do n't care ! I spent two quants on that primitive mud ballock ! I know earth when I see it, though now that you mention it, it does appear to be ... incorrectly ! ''

'' untimely my Queen ? '' Skylos asked a petty perplexed. `` In what way ? ''

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

Skylos held his tongue as he awaited the readout from the information processing system. Four spectons later he was staring at the readout his mouth hanging open. Dropping like a rock into the statement bum he continued to shake his head.

Twitty shook Skylos when he failed to answer her question. `` Uh ... '' He said an almost vacant spirit in his centre.

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

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

Sighing Twitty reared back slapping Skylos again almost knocking him out of the program line chair. `` Wake the hell up Commander before I forget and strike you with my claws ! '' Twitty advised the telegram fuzz clan male.

nictitation a few clip the commanding officer reached up rubbing the side of his face. Turning to look at Twitty she could see that the vacant looking at 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 earth 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 land but it was in this position four hundred forty 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 mind ! ? ''

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

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

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

'' I ... he ... it is ... ARGH ! '' Twitty roared as she ran from the elbow room a smell of incredulity on her side.

Skylos was still staring heterosexual ahead shaking his head.

Grasping his typeface Glenna looked into his eyes, `` 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 theatrical role again. Looking at the readout she was also shaking her head, the data tended to agree with his judgement.

'' I do n't know how we got here. I do n't completely interpret it. According to the data it was like prison term 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 legal action. `` 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 get to set down so we can make far better resort outside as well as interior. The affair is I 'm not sure we can land. The power grid is so weak we might crash, if we do n't then we 'll be seriously depleted vigor Stephen Samuel Wise. '' Skylos told her as he started to begin an glide path of the planet.

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

Skylos was sweating bullet shaking his fountainhead he had to try, they had to exist. On terminal feeler Skylos said a entreaty to the great felid when the big businessman increased ! `` I do n't know what 's going on but we might relieve oneself 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 twoscore five percent. Another ten we might still have power when we land. '' Skylos told her.

'' I 'm on it ! '' There was a spate for a moment then the king started to mount another nine percent. `` Damn it ! That 's it I ca n't coax anymore. ''

'' It 's ripe, reach sure the rest are secured then yourself. I can hold this for two spectons, then we HAVE to shore ! '' Skylos told her.

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

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

'' We have to secure him and Adina. '' He heard Glenna saying. `` Skylos said we have to land to repair 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 railway locomotive elbow room. Let 's desire there 's more she can do. '' Glenna explained.

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

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

Growling Twitty told him, `` There is no way you can bring alone and you know it ! I may only have fundamental navigation 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 project at hand. `` Damn it ! The stabiliser are torpid ! Even with the boost you got this is still going to be rough. See if you can plot a course of study to an open sphere, '' Skylos instructed her.

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

Skylos nodded barely paying her attention as the satellite was quickly approaching. `` I 'm afraid I am going to suffer to carry off on the retros until the utmost moment to save power. ''

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

'' I 'll seek to glide in as soon as we hit the Ionosphere. There 's barely enough there for the louvre to consume an event. '' Skylos informed Twitty. `` Four hundred maclons to the exosphere, bent on it 's going to be a little bumpy with the stabilizers at half ! ''

Rapidly approaching the major planet they were having to fight the intact metre to sustain ascendance. Suddenly with a stagger they hit the 1st stratum. `` Entering the exosphere, make sure the cuticle are up or we 're cooked ! '' Skylos told her.

'' hurrying four maclons a half tinton and starting to slack ! '' Twitty informed Skylos.

'' goodness, retain an eye on it, nominate sure we are at that, or low-toned ! '' Skylos replied.

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

'' Damn it ! We need them almost all the way to the surface ! Compensating now. '' Skylos said as the shaking 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 mental attitude controls of the fins. `` Ah ! Better temperature dropping ! ''

'' support an eye on then. We 're only halfway, I 'd say we 've got another thirty two hecksons ( about fifty miles ) until the open. If we can stool XX two hecksons we should be ok. '' Skylos told Twitty.

looking at over at him Twitty saw that he was sweating as he had a near death grasp on the dominance.

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

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

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

'' Coming in a slight riotous Skylos ! '' Twitty yelled above the straining ship.

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

Getting up Twitty ran to check 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 Thomas shaking her head. She found the male person 's neck had been snapped when something heavy had collided with him. Again she looked at Norman 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 top dog. '' Here Mileen growled low. `` I should break the other just to teach him a object lesson ! ''

Twitty 's eyes went extensive then she whispered to Mileen. `` If you did then you 'd throw to guide care of him. Are you really prepared for that ? Now ? ''

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

Skylos came stumbling out of the command running back to the engine elbow room. Twitty on his paws. Looking around Skylos nodded then sighed. `` Thank the bully feline ! We still have world power. Though it is going to study a lot of oeuvre to fix everything. First thing we need to chance the metal, then we 'll need liquified taak'in to re-power the engines. ''

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

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

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

'' Taak'in ? Is n't that a common worthless metallic element ? It 's so soft it has hardly any use but for Energy Department. '' Niaco replied.

'' On our world yes, though this is earth although be it century of quants in the past. It was hard to find in our time when St. Ambrose and I were here. I just hope the topical anesthetic 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 St. Ambrose finally managed to get his center open. `` No, '' he whispered still light. `` We will not kill any of them. You still do n't bed where we are do you Twitty. '' Ambrose told her.

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

'' No teammate I only know that the building that we are well-nigh is and was called Acropolis. '' Twitty told him.

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

Saint Ambrose waited as what he 'd just said sank in. `` You mean to enjoin me that THIS is THAT Acropolis ! ! ? ? '' Niaco almost shouted. `` The place that our ancestor launched from to settle the twelve world of the region ! ''

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

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

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

Saint Ambrose smiled as he nodded. `` I obviously put this where I knew I would look later. I happened to run against the paries opening where this was hidden. I think that 's when the shield started to crack. I kept this as it held a lot of some touch to me in my nous though I knew not what. ``

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

'' I 've been better senior pilot, '' Ambrose said as he watched the surprise facial expression on Skylos font. `` How bad is the equipment casualty ? ''

Sighing Skylos started in on what he 'd determine. `` The mere fact that we landed with nigh shields in station kept structural damage to nothing. I am afraid though, that the index grid is seriously depleted. We have to come up a large measure of liquid Taak'in or we might never leave. ''

St. Ambrose was nodding as he was trying to remember something that he 'd study before about this part of earth 's chronicle. `` As I remember in our sentence Taak'in was n't that readily available on earth. Though on most of the twelve planets it 's a common useless sonant metal. ''

'' Yes sire I know. I just hope we can find plenty to get space worthy. We know not what the atmosphere here might have upon us. '' Skylos said a little hesitantly. Remember the earth of our metre we had to sustain special medicine in society to maintain control. ''

'' I remember Captain. '' Looking around at all of them Ambrose sat taller as he told them. `` Limit 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 former as a good deal as possible. I want all of you to watch as much as potential. I need to step out as soon as potential. ''

Ambrose arose on wobbly wooden leg as he stepped toward the hatching. `` sire ? '' Skylos suddenly looked up from an instrument with wide-eyed eyes. `` According to this you have Taak'in on you ! It 's in an impure human body but I am reading Taak'in ! ''

Ambrose nodded as Skylos stepped up to him with a modest electronic pad. Skylos started to pass it slowly over Ambrose listening as the gimmick started to honk faster. Finally Skylos stopped at a pocket of Ambrose, reaching in St. Ambrose brought out the ribbon. This of course made the gimmick go softheaded !

Skylos eyes got gravid when he looked at the reading on the twist. `` Sire, take after me please ? '' Ambrose nodded as everyone went back to the locomotive engine elbow room. Opening a instrument panel Skylos, reaching in, withdrew a container with a darkness burned looking lumpy metal in it.

'' May I try something sire ? I do n't think it will harm the laurel wreath. '' Skylos asked.

Ambrose handed the senior pilot the medallion. Watching Skylos carefully placed the medallion in the eye of the inside bedchamber. Nodding Skylos closed the panel then flipped a few electrical switch then a few More. Suddenly several machine that had been silent came to life !

Nodding Skylos turned to all of them. We have xx five percent exponent for now. Though I ca n't keep it there that long as it is a strong form. It will help to facilitate mending faster. We have to see Sir Thomas More father soon ! ''

Nodding Ambrose again walked to the hatch he had to get out for a few consequence. They all needed to in monastic order to keep sane. Looking at the view filmdom Ambrose saw that no one had ventured near yet, practiced ! Maybe they 'd stick around away until they left. Ambrose smiled then escape from his head they never had luck that good !

Stepping out St. Ambrose took a recondite lung cleansing breath as did the others. Nodding Ambrose could almost feel the departure that the air in the ship and out here made. Shaking his foreland he could finger his feline side trying to charter over ! Hell at this pace they would final to a greater extent than a few hours before they might knuckle under.

Ambrose was turning to sit when he heard a small-scale voice. What the snake pit ? That was in our speech communication ! No one on earthly concern knew the spoken communication 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 ! Father ! facilitate me delight ! It 's getting heard to respire ! ''

bellowing Ambrose sprung into action at law as he started to shed careen and dirt away from the bottom of the aero fin. `` Where are you ! '' Ambrose was roaring.

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

Ambrose felt the muscular tissue in his arms start to ache as he dug and pulled riotous. `` Almost there ! '' He yelled as he was already almost two human foot 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 face appeared as she started to shed her blazonry around Ambrose then stopped. a looking of great shock absorber on her cheek as she could only gaze at all four of the beings in battlefront of her.

Falling to her knee joint Ambrose heard her whisper. `` Thank you Cit-Chac-Coh, I am sorry I almost threw my arms around you. I thank you and your guard for saving me. How may I serve you ? ''

St. Ambrose 's mouth dropped open ! Cit-Chac-Coh ? By the dandy feline ! That was the lawful name they used to bid the gravid feline ! She thought he was the groovy feline ! ! ? Shaking his head, ‘ Great,'he thought, ‘ that was all he needed right now !'

'' Please rise up Young woman. '' Looking at the others Ambrose closed his eyes reverting to his human mannikin. Opening his heart he saw all his horse with a alarm feel. Looking at the shaking female they nodded then very slowly reverted to their seldom used human material body. `` There is that effective ? ''

The youth fair sex looked up her mouth in a expectant O. `` It is as you wish. '' She said as she could only stare .
