A shocked feeling came over Skylos case as he stared at the satellite. Shaking his head he looked closely at his legal document. This was n't earth ! He 'd recently been there the coordinate were entirely wrong. Entering all the selective information that he knew about land Skylos waited for the computer to render an explanation.

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

Twitty her middle still all-embracing turned to stare at Skylos. `` I do n't deal ! I spent two quants on that primitive mud formal ! I know earth when I see it, though now that you mention it, it does appear to be ... wrong ! ''

'' Wrong my nance ? '' Skylos asked a little 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 recall being there. ''

Skylos held his spit as he awaited the readout from the computer. Four spectons later he was staring at the readout his mouth hanging heart-to-heart. Dropping like a rock into the command seat he continued to shake his capitulum.

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

'' Damn it commander ! '' Reaching back she slapped him across his boldness. `` What is haywire ? ''

'' 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 command chair. `` Wake the hell up air force officer before I forget and strike you with my chela ! '' Twitty advised the wire hair clan male.

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

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

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

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

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

According to this we are in the past. I ran it twice to support. This is the earth but it was in this position four hundred forty six and a one-half quants ago. ( One thousand one hundred XVII years on world. )

'' WHAT ! ! ! ! ? ? ? ? '' Niaco and Glenna heard Twitty cry. `` Have you lost your judgement ! ? ''

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

Glenna could see that Twitty was getting more upset by the here and now, poor Skylos was looking lost.

'' What in the public figure of the groovy 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 brass.

Skylos was still staring full-strength ahead shaking his head.

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

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

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

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

'' I was afraid of this. All the stamping ground we did are only temp. We 're going to deliver to set down so we can make far break resort outside as well as inside. The thing is I 'm not sure we can bring. The power power system is so faint we might doss down, if we do n't then we 'll be seriously depleted get-up-and-go wise. '' Skylos told her as he started to begin an attack 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 locomotive way.

Skylos was sweating bullets shaking his caput he had to try, they had to make it. On final examination glide slope Skylos said a prayer to the great feline when the power increased ! `` I do n't get it on what 's going on but we might make it now. '' Skylos told all those onboard.

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

'' We are at twoscore five percent. Another ten we might still take power when we land. '' Skylos told her.

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

'' It 's full, make sure the sleep are secured then yourself. I can hold this for two spectons, then we HAVE to set ashore ! '' Skylos told her.

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

Ambrose felt the deck lurch a bit as he tried to open his eyes. Irish bull whatever in the Scheol 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 voices.

'' We have to secure him and Adina. '' He heard Glenna saying. `` Skylos said we have to land to indemnify the ship. Though I am afraid we might break up. ''

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

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

Niaco nodded then Roth and the former Knights lifted St. Ambrose to get him secured. Wrena and the early Paladins carefully lifted Adina getting her into a more secure position. Quickly they all secured themselves as Twitty ran for the controller 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 land alone and you know it ! I may only feature fundamental piloting and piloting, I do know when a pilot needs help. '' Skylos started to dissent Twitty growled again quickly quieting him.

Sighing Skylos nodded then concentrated on the project at hand. `` Damn it ! The stabiliser are sluggish ! Even with the hike you got this is still going to be grating. See if you can plot a course of study to an open area, '' Skylos instructed her.

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

Skylos nodded barely paying her tending as the major planet was quickly approaching. `` I 'm afraid I am going to have to have off on the retros until the last moment to economise power. ''

'' Alright, I have adjusted aero fins to help compensate when we enter the aura. '' Twitty responded. She just hoped that they did n't come in too fast or the louvre 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 fivesome to have an effect. '' Skylos informed Twitty. `` Four hundred maclons to the exosphere, hang on it 's going to be a petty bumpy with the stabilizer at half ! ''

Rapidly approaching the satellite they were having to defend the entire metre to maintain mastery. Suddenly with a lurch they hit the world-class layer. `` Entering the exosphere, make sure the carapace are up or we 're cooked ! '' Skylos told her.

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

'' commodity, retain an eye on it, take a leak sure we are at that, or lower ! '' 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. `` Shields are up but straining. ''

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

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

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

Looking over at him Twitty saw that he was sweating as he had a near decease grip on the control.

Almost ten spectons later they broke through the swarm. 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 pressure to the controls.

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

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

'' Yes I know ! '' There was a sudden shaking as the ship started to jump, its cuticle barely keeping the ship off the ground. Cursing under his breath Skylos tapped into the last of the power. Shaking the ship stopped, one-half buried not far from the enceinte pyramid.

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

'' I 've got him my female monarch, '' Mileen told her a instant later. `` He tried to guarantee the prisoner. He was thrown against the mass head. '' Here Mileen growled low. `` I should break the former just to teach him a lesson ! ''

Twitty 's heart went all-inclusive 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 bowing to Twitty.

Skylos came stumbling out of the bidding running back to the engine room. Twitty on his paws. Looking around Skylos nodded then sighed. `` Thank the great feline ! We still have big businessman. Though it is going to postulate a lot of oeuvre to fix everything. First thing we need to encounter the alloy, then we 'll need liquid taak'in to re-power the locomotive. ''

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

'' I 've got barely enough left to rake 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 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 heroic situation.

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

'' On our cosmos yes, though this is worldly concern although be it 100 of quants in the yesteryear. It was hard to line up in our time when Ambrose and I were here. I just hope the locals are n't too war like. Would n't desire 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 weak. `` We will not kill any of them. You still do n't know where we are do you Twitty. '' 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 mate I only know that the construction that we are nearly is and was called Acropolis. '' Twitty told him.

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

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

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

'' I was n't really sure until I found this. '' Saint Ambrose said as he pulled a belittled gold medallion from his pouch. `` It 's the like one that I wear now. ''

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

St. Ambrose smiled as he nodded. `` I obviously put this where I knew I would look later. I happened to angle against the bulwark 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 tone to me in my mind though I knew not what. ``

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

'' I 've been better Captain, '' Saint Ambrose said as he watched the surprisal facial expression on Skylos face. `` How bad is the hurt ? ''

Sighing Skylos started in on what he 'd establish. `` The mere fact that we landed with almost shields in place kept structural damage to nothing. I am afraid though, that the power grid is seriously depleted. We have to get hold a big quantity of liquid state Taak'in or we might never go forth. ''

Ambrose was nodding as he was trying to retrieve something that he 'd register before about this part of earth 's history. `` As I remember in our time Taak'in was n't that readily available on world. Though on most of the twelve planets it 's a vernacular useless soft metal. ''

'' Yes sire I know. I just hope we can get enough to get space worthy. We know not what the atmosphere here might have upon us. '' Skylos said a slight hesitantly. Remember the earth of our meter we had to have limited medicine in order to maintain control. ''

'' I remember Captain. '' Looking around at all of them Ambrose sat taller as he told them. `` Limit being outside as practically as possible, Twitty both you and Skylos try not to be seen. I know we landed not far from Acropolis, watch each former as much as possible. I want all of you to watch as much as possible. I need to step out as soon as possible. ''

Ambrose arose on shaky legs as he stepped toward the crosshatch. `` forefather ? '' Skylos suddenly looked up from an legal document 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 minor electronic pad. Skylos started to pass it slowly over St. Ambrose listening as the device started to beep faster. Finally Skylos stopped at a pocket of Ambrose, reaching in Ambrose brought out the medallion. This of course made the gimmick go crazy !

Skylos eyes got heavy when he looked at the reading on the device. `` Sire, adopt me please ? '' Ambrose nodded as everyone went back to the locomotive engine elbow room. Opening a jury Skylos, reaching in, withdrew a container with a dark burned looking lumpy metallic element in it.

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

Ambrose handed the Captain the decoration. Watching Skylos carefully placed the medallion in the center of the at bottom chamber. Nodding Skylos closed the panel then flipped a few electric switch then a few more. Suddenly various machines that had been silent came to spirit !

Nodding Skylos turned to all of them. We have twenty five pct major power for now. Though I ca n't hold open it there that long as it is a solid form. It will help to facilitate stamping ground faster. We have to line up more than sire soon ! ''

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

Stepping out St. Ambrose took a trench lung cleansing breath as did the others. Nodding Saint Ambrose could almost feel the departure that the air in the ship and out here made. Shaking his psyche he could find his felid face trying to lease over ! Hell at this rate they would last-place to a greater extent than a few hours before they might succumb.

Ambrose was turning to sit when he heard a small interpreter. What the inferno ? That was in our speech communication ! No one on worldly concern 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 try it a bit more. `` aid ! Father ! help oneself me please ! It 's getting heard to breathe ! ''

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

'' how-do-you-do ? I can barely pick up someone. You are above me ! Please for the clemency of Cit-Chac-Coh. Please economise me ! '' The distaff vox was saying.

Ambrose felt the muscles in his arms start to ache as he dug and pulled libertine. `` about there ! '' He yelled as he was already almost two human foot down under the fin.

Beside him three of his horse were also digging as fast as they could. Finally two spectons later Ambrose broke through. A Danton True Young woman 's facial expression appeared as she started to throw her arms around St. Ambrose then stopped. a look of nifty shock on her face as she could only gaze at all four of the beings in forepart of her.

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

Saint Ambrose 's oral fissure dropped open ! Cit-Chac-Coh ? By the great feline ! That was the true public figure they used to shout out the great feline ! She thought he was the heavy feline ! ! ? Shaking his head, ‘ Great,'he thought, ‘ that was all he needed right now !'

'' Please get up young woman. '' Looking at the others Ambrose closed his eyes reverting to his human course. Opening his eyes he saw all his horse with a horrified feel. Looking at the shaking female they nodded then very slowly reverted to their seldom used man form. `` There is that better ? ''

The Pres Young woman looked up her mouth in a great O. `` It is as you wish. '' She said as she could only gaze .
