A shocked look came over Skylos font as he stared at the planet. Shaking his brain he looked closely at his instruments. This was n't earth ! He 'd recently been there the co-ordinate were entirely wrong. Entering all the information that he knew about earth Skylos waited for the data processor to render an explanation.

'' I am blue to disagree with you Queen Twitty ! '' Skylos told her. `` We are at the ill-timed coordinate for earth. ''

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

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

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

Skylos held his glossa as he awaited the readout from the computer. Four spectons later he was staring at the read-out his oral cavity hanging spread. Dropping like a rock into the command behind he continued to shake his brain.

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

'' Damn it commander ! '' Reaching back she slapped him across his face. `` What is legal injury ? ''

'' 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 professorship. `` Wake the Hell up Commander before I forget and rap you with my claw ! '' Twitty advised the wire haircloth kinship group male.

blink a few times the air force officer reached up rubbing the side of his brass. Turning to wait 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 earth ! '' Twitty said with a smug smile.

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

'' What ? ! What in the the pits do you entail ? '' Twitty asked.

According to this we are in the past times. I ran it twice to confirm. This is the earth but it was in this post four hundred forty six and a one-half quants ago. ( One thousand one hundred xvii 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 statement.

Glenna could see that Twitty was getting more turnover by the moment, poor 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 looking of unbelief on her facial expression.

Skylos was still staring directly ahead shaking his head.

Grasping his facial expression Glenna looked into his eyes, `` Explain whatever it was that you did to world-beater 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 character again. Looking at the readout she was also shaking her head, the information tended to gibe with his appraisal.

'' I do n't do it how we got here. I do n't completely understand it. According to the data it was care time stopped and we were shoved backwards. The thing is ? I have absolutely no musical theme 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 job ? '' She asked.

'' I was afraid of this. All the hangout we did are only temporary worker. We 're going to have to set down so we can throw far better repair outside as well as interior. The affair is I 'm not indisputable we can land. The power power grid is so weak we might crash, if we do n't then we 'll be seriously depleted energy wise. '' Skylos told her as he started to set out an approach of the major planet.

Running out Glenna advised the others that they had to land, plus they might break up. Twitty upon hearing this ran for the railway locomotive elbow room.

Skylos was sweating bullet train shaking his head he had to try, they had to survive. On final approach Skylos said a prayer to the majuscule felid when the power increased ! `` I do n't sleep with what 's going on but we might lay down 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 consume you a little more. '' Came the voice of Twitty.

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

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

'' It 's in force, gain certainly the rest are secured then yourself. I can concur this for two spectons, then we HAVE to bring ! '' 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 hell 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 batten down him and Adina. '' He heard Glenna saying. `` Skylos said we have to land to restore the ship. Though I am afraid we might go down. ''

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

'' We appear to be, though I saw Twitty heading for the engine elbow 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 paladin carefully lifted Adina getting her into a more unattackable attitude. Quickly they all secured themselves as Twitty ran for the restraint elbow 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 have fundamental navigation and piloting, I do know when a pilot needs service. '' Skylos started to dissent Twitty growled again quickly quieting him.

Sighing Skylos nodded then concentrated on the task at mitt. `` Damn it ! The stabilizers are soggy ! Even with the boost you got this is still going to be rough. See if you can diagram a course 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 reckon at Skylos she nodded. `` I accept now what you said. ''

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

'' Alright, I have adjusted aero quintuplet to aid compensate when we enter the atmosphere. '' Twitty responded. She just hoped that they did n't come in too fast or the flipper 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 fins to have an effect. '' Skylos informed Twitty. `` Four hundred maclons to the exosphere, knack on it 's going to be a picayune bumpy with the stabilizers at one-half ! ''

Rapidly approaching the major planet they were having to fight the entire metre to maintain controller. Suddenly with a lurch they hit the number 1 layer. `` Entering the exosphere, make sure the shields are up or we 're misrepresent ! '' Skylos told her.

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

'' good, hold open an eye on it, make sure enough we are at that, or glower ! '' Skylos replied.

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

'' Damn it ! We need them almost all the way to the Earth's 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 paw were flying across the attitude ascendence of the fins. `` Ah ! wagerer temperature dropping ! ''

'' donjon an eye on then. We 're only halfway, I 'd say we 've got another thirty two hecksons ( about fifty miles ) until the control surface. If we can make water 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 traction on the ascendancy.

Almost ten spectons later they broke through the swarm. Twitty had a course of study 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 set down now ! Or we might not make it ! '' With that Skylos pointed almost straight toward the ground then pulled up as he sighed when the retros came on.

'' Coming in a piffling debauched Skylos ! '' Twitty yelled above the straining ship.

'' Yes I know ! '' There was a sudden quivering as the ship started to pass over, its shields barely keeping the ship off the priming. Cursing under his hint Skylos tapped into the last of the powerfulness. Shaking the ship stopped, half buried not far from the tumid Great Pyramid.

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

'' I 've got him my pouf, '' Mileen told her a present moment later. `` He tried to stop up the prisoner. He was thrown against the mass head word. '' Here Mileen growled low. `` I should break the other just to teach 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 bowing to Twitty.

Skylos came stumbling out of the bidding running back to the railway locomotive room. Twitty on his hand. Looking around Skylos nodded then sighed. `` Thank the great felid ! We still have powerfulness. Though it is going to take a lot of workplace to fix everything. first base thing we need to detect the metal, then we 'll demand liquidity taak'in to re-power the engine. ''

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

'' I 've got barely enough left to glance over the ship but we 'll possess to get the taak'in soon. I am not wanting to try and restart the locomotive engine manually. We have to hold open 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 dire situation.

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

'' On our world yes, though this is earth although be it hundred of quants in the yesteryear. It was arduous to find in our meter when Saint 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 St. Ambrose finally managed to get his eyes open. `` No, '' he whispered still light. `` We will not shoot down any of them. You still do n't know where we are do you Twitty. '' St. Ambrose told her.

'' Ambrose ! '' Three female part shouted as they all tried to sit him up. Then Twitty thought about what 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 capable to harbor his head up. `` It 's called Acropolis in Toniná, Chiapas. ''

St. Ambrose waited as what he 'd just said sank in. `` You mean to recite me that THIS is THAT Acropolis ! ! ? ? '' Niaco almost shouted. `` The place that our antecedent 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 brass. `` That 's why you went there ! Even with the idea shield you somehow knew ! '' Twitty said her mouth open staring at St. Ambrose with awe.

'' I was n't really sure enough 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 opening, then the one he held in his grasp. `` The ancient royal stag insignia, '' Twitty said with a pant. `` How ? I never saw you pick it up. I was with you the whole time ! ''

St. Ambrose smiled as he nodded. `` I obviously put this where I knew I would look later. I happened to lean against the bulwark initiative where this was hidden. I think that 's when the buckler started to crack. I kept this as it held a lot of some feel to me in my nous though I knew not what. ``

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

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

Sighing Skylos started in on what he 'd found. `` The mere fact that we landed with near shields in position kept structural damage to zilch. I am afraid though, that the power grid is seriously depleted. We have to feel a with child measure of liquid Taak'in or we might never leave. ''

Ambrose was nodding as he was trying to recall something that he 'd show before about this part of earthly concern 's history. `` As I remember in our time Taak'in was n't that readily available on globe. Though on most of the twelve planets it 's a common useless soft metal. ''

'' Yes sire I know. I just hope we can obtain enough to get distance worthy. We know not what the standard pressure here might accept upon us. '' Skylos said a little hesitantly. call back the Earth of our time we had to have special medicine in rescript to hold ascendence. ''

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

Ambrose arose on shaky stage as he stepped toward the hatch. `` Sire ? '' Skylos suddenly looked up from an legal instrument with wide eyes. `` According to this you have Taak'in on you ! It 's in an impure descriptor but I am reading Taak'in ! ''

Saint Ambrose nodded as Skylos stepped up to him with a humble electronic pad. Skylos started to pass it slowly over Ambrose listening as the device started to beep faster. Finally Skylos stopped at a scoop of Ambrose, reaching in Saint Ambrose brought out the medallion. This of row made the device go half-baked !

Skylos oculus got large when he looked at the Reading on the device. `` forefather, follow me please ? '' Ambrose nodded as everyone went back to the railway locomotive way. Opening a dialog box Skylos, reaching in, withdrew a container with a shadow burned looking chunky alloy in it.

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

Saint Ambrose handed the headwaiter the medallion. Watching Skylos carefully placed the palm in the substance of the at heart chamber. Nodding Skylos closed the panel then flipped a few shift then a few more. Suddenly several machines that had been mum came to sprightliness !

Nodding Skylos turned to all of them. We have XX five percent major power for now. Though I ca n't save it there that long as it is a square form. It will help to facilitate repair faster. We have to find Thomas More forefather soon ! ''

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

Stepping out Ambrose took a deep lung cleansing breathing space as did the others. Nodding Ambrose could almost feel the difference of opinion that the air in the ship and out here made. Shaking his principal he could feel his felid side trying to take over ! hell on earth at this rate they would last-place more than than a few hour before they might buckle under.

Ambrose was turning to sit when he heard a small voice. What the hellhole ? 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 pick up it a bit more. `` Help ! Father ! Help me delight ! It 's getting heard to suspire ! ''

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

'' hullo ? I can barely hear individual. You are above me ! Please for the mercy of Cit-Chac-Coh. Please relieve me ! '' The female person voice was saying.

Ambrose felt the brawn in his arms start to languish as he dug and pulled degraded. `` near there ! '' He yelled as he was already almost two substructure 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 Loretta Young woman 's face appeared as she started to throw her weapon system around Ambrose then stopped. a flavor of keen shock on her face as she could only stare at all four of the beings in presence of her.

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

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

'' Please originate young woman. '' Looking at the others Ambrose closed his eyes reverting to his human being flesh. Opening his eyes he saw all his knights with a horrified flavour. Looking at the shaking female they nodded then very slowly reverted to their seldom used human course. `` There is that bettor ? ''

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