TCW Ch.1-An outsider arrives

                                       
       "-What were you thinking about? Seriously you beleived that that was it? That life would be all smooth and velvety like the little fairytales you were raised with?

       "-From when do you know anything about any of it?"

       "-So now your love is gone. The people you lived with everyday are also gone. Your entire life, the one you chose and followed on your own is gone. You know who did not go anywhere? Me. No matter how much you tried."

       "-Stop it."
"-Your origin will always follow you in your every action. It is a part of you. And so I became. You cannot do without us."

       "-Leave me! Go away..."

       "-What's wrong? Can't take it anymore? How about you let me take it from now and on. And you can rest easy on the sidelines for all you want."

       "-JUST GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"

The spacecraft was silently sliding into the depths of space. Completely painted black, except from some certain points where it was chrome silver, it flawlessly blent into the stars like a shadow. A being that never existed there. A quiet burst of the main engine was used to slightly alter it's course to the right. The pilot, a red fox with red hair cut short to reach to the back side of her neck, and dark green eyes was performing a light turn, following the pinpointed circle on patrol duty.  By her side, the co-pilot. a yellow fox with light hazel eyes and hair short to just reach the back side of her neck as well. black leopard sports were marking her fur from top to bottom.

       "-Hey Rikku look at that." The red fox addresed after a long silence that always lasted while on duty.

       "-What is it?" The other asked back paying more attention to the numbers provided by the flight instruments of the ship.

       "-Is that a ship?" The red fox requested to know.
Rikku stared up ahead. She noticed a fade object in the distance. She bowed up forward to look right straight through the windshield's glass. "By the name of Coronia. You are right!" She agreed.

       "-It seems deserted here." The red fox noticed

       "-For one of the few times in your poor reasoning, you must be right Hana. The motion detectors read no activity in it's interior. It's mechanical parts are put out of order or do not funtion while it's is emmiting no transmitting waves. That means that if not entirely, most of it's electronics are out too. They are not able to receive our automated greeting, Nor even our hardcoded halt order." Rikku informed running a quick glikpse through various holograms.

       "-I can see sparks spitting out of it's shield generator."

       "-You should. It's shield generator is still alive but defective. No question what is draining what is left from it's power." Rikku stated reaching towards the ship's flight report books. " after I finish drawing up this handrwrite report, I suggest that we report the incident to the supervisor officer and move on."

       "-Rikku, there is someone inside!" Hana exclaimed in distress. "There, right on the pilot's seat." The red fox tried to point through the glass.

       "-Yeah I can see the person."

       "-We have to help him." Hana reached to the ships controls, but Rikku stopped her from altering route.

       "-Wait! Their shield's generator could overload and explode at any second. We cannot go anywhere closer than this, or we could put our lives at risk!" The yellow fox warned.
"-We are soldiers on duty Rikku. We spot someone in trouble and we have to help!" Hana claimed raising the tone of her voice.

       "-Are you completely out of your mind? Even if we neglect the risk of an deadly explosion, do you not see it? That ship is not ours. we are handly located in any of our territory. If we interfere we could cause a political episode. Let the superiors be informed about it first, and then consider their choices."

       "-Or I could bring someone who crossed our borders before the general the quickest way possible, and make sure that this someone, remains secure and healthy enough for questioning, as well as any of his equipment to be looked up while the diplomacy goes on. from my  point of view I am doing nothing wrong, nor I am violating the code. Now back off!" The red fox demanded pushing rikku away. Hana then left the deck to and proceeded to the landing post. There lied two spacefighters, completely painted black, exactly like their mothership. "-I will man one of the ships and go to the resque." She informed.

       The yellow fox's face twiched. "-Then I guess I will be reading you the numbers through here..."

"-I am in."

       "-Okay. So what do you see?"

       "-Having left my ship behind, nothing more than a dark hatch. I am gonna get through. I see no other way to the upper level."

       "-Alright, go ahead."

       "-Whoa Rikku. Nothing, I mean really nothing is online over here. This place is completely dead."

       "-Like I said, they must have no power for anything else besides the living bomb pulsing right above your head."

       "-Let me be."

       "Did you hear that?" Rikku asked quickly.

       "If I did? I almost jumped out of my fur right where I stood." Hana whispered in the microphone placed right next to her lips. She reached down to her belt to grab her pistol. "I can hear some noises right around the next corner." She added.

       "Be carefull." Rikku suggested.

       The red fox silently made her way up to the corner. Then performing a quick leap she brought the gun forward. "Stay where you are!"

       The pilot muttered something she could not define. Hana slowly walked closer. The person was laying by her elbows on the instruments' panel.

       "-I said let me be in peace!" She shouted.

       "Remain still!" Hana warned shouting back. "Throw any weapons on the floor." She ordered, but the pilot seemed to totally ignore her presence. Carefully, Hana reached to the person's belt and removed her handgun and communication gear. "Now turn at me." She demanded. The pilot kept on ignoring her. "I said turn at me." Hanna repeated and dragged the stranger from the shoulder.

       "-Oh my goddess."

       "-What's up Hana!"

       "-She has been badly hit." Hana stated. The stranger kept muttering things to herself.

       "-So we talk about a female. What is her a state?"

       "-She has lost a lot of blood. She's delusional. I can't even tell if she understands what is happening around her as we speak." Hana replied. She put her pistol back to her belt and looked to the person. "What is your name?" She asked with apprehension.

       "-Krystal." She lisped weakly.

       "-Any clues about her origins?" Rikku asked.

       "-She is a blue fox dressed in tight leather flightsuit. All of the gear she uses is cornerian. same seems to be her agent's card. But..."

       "-But what?"

       "-She's marked around her arms. And the most important..."

       The blue fox stared up to Hana and grasped up on her in her delirium. "Please help me."

       "-She wears a corona."
