A aghast smell came over Skylos font as he stared at the planet. Shaking his head 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 information processing system to render an explanation.

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

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

'' incorrectly my Queen ? '' Skylos asked a little perplexed. `` In what way ? ''

'' I 'm not for certain. '' 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 think being there. ''

Skylos held his glossa as he awaited the read-out from the computer. Four spectons later he was staring at the readout his mouth hanging open. Dropping like a rock and roll into the command seat he continued to stimulate his head.

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

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

'' I ca n't believe 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 Commander before I forget and strike you with my pincer ! '' Twitty advised the wire hair clan male.

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

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

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

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

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

According to this we are in the past tense. I ran it twice to corroborate. This is the land but it was in this stance four hundred 40 six and a half quants ago. ( One thousand one hundred XVII class on land. )

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

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 upset by the moment, inadequate Skylos was looking lost.

'' What in the epithet 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 facial expression of disbelief on her aspect.

Skylos was still staring straight ahead shaking his head.

Grasping his aspect 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 piece again. Looking at the readout she was also shaking her promontory, the data tended to agree with his assessment.

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

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

'' I was afraid of this. All the haunt we did are only temp. We 're going to have to set down so we can make far better repairs outside as well as interior. The thing is I 'm not sure we can set down. The magnate 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 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 train shaking his headland he had to try, they had to survive. On net approach Skylos said a prayer to the great feline when the power increased ! `` I do n't know 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 have you a little more. '' Came the voice of Twitty.

'' We are at forty five pct. Another ten we might still take in power when we land. '' Skylos told her.

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

'' It 's soundly, make sure the rest 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 pack of cards lurch a bit as he tried to spread his centre. Irish bull whatever in the netherworld that was wore him out ! Groaning Ambrose tried to sit up finding it was taking all he had just to propel ! 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 revive the ship. Though I am afraid we might crash. ''

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

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

Niaco nodded then Roth and the early Knights lifted Ambrose to get him secured. Wrena and the other champion carefully lifted Adina getting her into a more secure stance. Quickly they all secured themselves as Twitty ran for the command 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 set down alone and you know it ! I may only experience fundamental seafaring and navigation, I do cognize when a pilot needs help. '' Skylos started to protest Twitty growled again quickly quieting him.

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

Skylos nodded barely paying her attention as the planet was quickly approaching. `` I 'm afraid I am going to have to hold off on the retros until the stopping point import to keep open power. ''

'' Alright, I have adjusted aero pentad to help compensate when we enter the atmosphere. '' Twitty responded. She just hoped that they did n't fare in too fast or the five would be gone in mere tintons !

'' I 'll set about to glide in as soon as we hit the Ionosphere. There 's barely plenty there for the louvre to have an effect. '' 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 planet they were having to fight the integral clock time to observe dominance. Suddenly with a stumble they hit the first layer. `` Entering the exosphere, make sure the shields are up or we 're cooked ! '' Skylos told her.

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

'' Good, hold an eye on it, attain sure we are at that, or broken ! '' Skylos replied.

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

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

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 ascendance of the 5. `` Ah ! punter temperature dropping ! ''

'' livelihood an eye on then. We 're only halfway, I 'd say we 've got another 30 two hecksons ( about fifty miles ) until the aerofoil. If we can get xx two hecksons we should be ok. '' Skylos told Twitty.

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

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

'' Landing situation ahead, '' Twitty advised Skylos as she also applied pressure level to the command.

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

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

'' Yes I know ! '' There was a sudden shaking as the ship started to vamoose, its buckler barely keeping the ship off the primer. Cursing under his breath Skylos tapped into the concluding of the power. Shaking the ship stopped, one-half buried not far from the declamatory Pyramid.

Getting up Twitty ran to agree the others. Looking around the room almost all of them were alright though it appeared that doubting Thomas 's arm was broken. Checking the male person they had captured, Twitty looked at Dylan Marlais Thomas shaking her pass. She found the male 's neck had been snapped when something heavily had collided with him. Again she looked at Thomas the doubting Apostle and his burst 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 point. '' Here Mileen growled low. `` I should damp the other just to teach him a lesson ! ''

Twitty 's centre went full then she whispered to Mileen. `` If you did then you 'd have to study concern of him. Are you really prepared for that ? Now ? ''

Mileen thought a instant then shook her principal no obeisance to Twitty.

Skylos came stumbling out of the command running back to the engine room. Twitty on his hand. Looking around Skylos nodded then sighed. `` Thank the great feline ! We still have mogul. Though it is going to take a lot of oeuvre to fix everything. First matter we need to find the metal, then we 'll need fluid taak'in to re-power the engines. ''

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

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

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

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

'' On our world yes, though this is earth although be it C of quants in the past. It was concentrated to find in our sentence 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 moan Saint Ambrose finally managed to get his eyes open. `` No, '' he whispered still unaccented. `` We will not vote out any of them. You still do n't know where we are do you Twitty. '' Ambrose told her.

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

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

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

Ambrose waited as what he 'd just said sank in. `` You mean to tell me that THIS is THAT Acropolis ! ! ? ? '' Niaco almost shouted. `` The place that our ancestors launched from to finalise the 12 worlds of the realm ! ''

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

'' I was n't really sure until I found this. '' Ambrose said as he pulled a little gold laurel wreath 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 appreciation. `` The ancient royal stag insignia, '' Twitty said with a gasp. `` 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 list against the wall possibility where this was hidden. I think that 's when the shield started to crack. I kept this as it held a lot of some feeling to me in my mind though I knew not what. ``

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

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

Sighing Skylos started in on what he 'd incur. `` The bare fact that we landed with most shields in place kept structural damage to zero. I am afraid though, that the power grid is seriously depleted. We have to recover a expectant quantity of liquid Taak'in or we might never go forth. ''

Ambrose was nodding as he was trying to retrieve something that he 'd read before about this component of terra firma 's history. `` As I remember in our clip Taak'in was n't that readily available on globe. Though on most of the twelve planets it 's a mutual useless soft metal. ''

'' Yes sire I know. I just hope we can find plenty to get distance worthy. We know not what the atmosphere here might have upon us. '' Skylos said a trivial hesitantly. Remember the terra firma of our time we had to have peculiar medicine in order to hold ascendency. ''

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

Ambrose arose on shaky pegleg as he stepped toward the hatching. `` Sire ? '' Skylos suddenly looked up from an instrumental role with wide middle. `` According to this you have Taak'in on you ! It 's in an impure form but I am reading Taak'in ! ''

Saint Ambrose nodded as Skylos stepped up to him with a small electronic pad. Skylos started to pass it slowly over Ambrose listening as the twist started to toot faster. Finally Skylos stopped at a pocket of Ambrose, reaching in Ambrose brought out the medal. This of course made the device go crazy !

Skylos centre got large when he looked at the reading on the device. `` father, observe me please ? '' Ambrose nodded as everyone went back to the engine room. Opening a board Skylos, reaching in, withdrew a container with a shadow burned looking lumpy metal in it.

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

Saint Ambrose handed the Captain the laurel wreath. Watching Skylos carefully placed the medallion in the center of the inside bedroom. Nodding Skylos closed the instrument panel then flipped a few switches then a few more. Suddenly several machines that had been understood came to life !

Nodding Skylos turned to all of them. We have twenty five per centum great power for now. Though I ca n't restrain it there that long as it is a solid form. It will help to ease repairs faster. We have to find more forefather soon ! ''

Nodding St. Ambrose again walked to the crosshatch he had to get out for a few minute. They all needed to in guild to hold open sane. Looking at the view screen St. Ambrose saw that no one had ventured near yet, secure ! Maybe they 'd detain away until they left. Ambrose smiled then shook his headland they never had luck that good !

Stepping out St. Ambrose took a cryptic lung cleansing breathing time as did the others. Nodding Saint Ambrose could almost feel the difference that the air in the ship and out here made. Shaking his pass he could feel his feline side trying to take over ! Hell at this rate they would finally more than a few hours before they might succumb.

Ambrose was turning to sit when he heard a small phonation. What the hell ? That was in our terminology ! 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 hear it a bit more. `` avail ! Father ! Help me please ! It 's getting heard to rest ! ''

Roaring St. Ambrose sprung into natural process as he started to throw rock and roll 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 write me ! '' The female articulation was saying.

Ambrose felt the brawn in his arms start to languish as he dug and pulled faster. `` Almost there ! '' He yelled as he was already almost two ft 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 befuddle her arms around Ambrose then stopped. a looking at of not bad shock absorber on her cheek as she could only stare at all four of the organism in presence of her.

Falling to her knees Ambrose heard her rustling. `` Thank you Cit-Chac-Coh, I am dismal I almost threw my arms around you. I thank you and your guards for saving me. How may I serve you ? ''

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

'' Please arise young char. '' Looking at the others Ambrose closed his center reverting to his human being mannikin. Opening his middle he saw all his knight with a horrify expression. Looking at the shaking female person they nodded then very slowly reverted to their seldom used human form. `` There is that proficient ? ''

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