She would have to check with her fellow Sweepers for any grenades. Grenades had been useful last time seeing that the Xagi attacked in swarms before. That was for later once all the introductions had been out of the way.

Star Skipper? A ship … no how could a ship play though it could have AI too. She pondered that for a moment.

“A cookie? It's a treat. By the way you look good in glasses.”

It seemed alright that Krissy took the glasses, that or Luna was just being polite about the whole situation. They were getting a little side tracked as the two spoke on cookies and useless skills but she had to admit that she did look good with glasses.

Though she had patiently waited for a lull. “We'll check that way, the way we came I don't know the direction but I hope it's either East or West. You showed interest in the ruins and while we're looking for this energy source if we do find anything that perks your interest about the ruins we can bring that along.”

She looked to Luna then the new arrival for introductions figuring Luna would handle those.

“Well, not for me specifically. Anyone suffering under the same conditions would find then useful. I usually wear contacts in the field but seeing that I was rushed I forgot them not that I need them since I'm staying back these next few days.”

Though as Hope answers she looks at her fellow agent and frowns just a little. “There's a different sort of cookie for computers but I'll get into discussing that when we get back.” Leave it to the non tech not to think about something so obvious.

“Ah, East,” she looks to the direction that Scorch indicated. One this world the sun set in the North and rose in the South so it was easy enough to figure out direction. That set she introduces everyone to Nina though needs help with Shelia since she is a new face.

That seen to it was time to earn her pay check.

"A treat?" Krisna repeated afther Hope, cutly tilting her head to one side as her soft blue hair bobbed with her movment befor she blushed at Hopes compliment and bashfuly looked down at the ground while pushing up the cute pair of glasses. "Really? Thank you." Krisna said polietly befor she flicked her eyes to Lulu as the agent explained her condion to the travler befor Krisna was left wondering about these "contacts" Lulu spoke of and the idea of a cookie treat for a primitive computer?

"Yah East!! The ruins !!" Krisna agreed with Dessy, looking her lovers direction with a happly placed smile. "I want to see everything!"Krisna sadwita cheer, it was clear Krisna wanted to see it all befor she tok off Lulu's glasses carfully then presented them back to Lulu. "Here Lulu.. I'll trade you for the cookies? or the contacts?" Krisna offered in all seriousness.

It was easy to distract Kris, the glasses were not even hers though after being introduced to the scientists she manages to get two grenades off of her Captain and the frequency to contact the camp at. Her suit may have been destroyed but now she had a new one more familiar with her operations. A Sweeper ADD uniform looked like any other though it was tare resistant and had to hold up against wear and tare better.

Once she is ready she returns to the others, hopefully Nina wouldn't be as bad as Shelia was ...

Scorch chuckles and shakes her head a bit. She pats Krissy on the shoulder. “Of course those are her glasses though, I'll have 92 make a batch of cookies for us.” Her cooking skills were pretty much non existent and her baking skills had not been much better given the life of a pirate there was not much use for either skill.

Nina was quite, she was armed with a rifle and even claimed to have done a little shooting in the past when she was a little girl her grand dad use to take her hunting. She was use to ballistic weapons and not energy ones so she spends some time getting a crash course of the weapon before gathering up her tools in a back pack.

The ruins it is and soon the four find their way to the East. At the ruins there are some Xagi but they are unorganized pockets and easy to avoid at least for now. The energy scanner that Hope had would lead them along the skeletal remains of buildings but it was hard to say if this was just one colossal building or several smaller ones as there had been no roads … Nina made mention though that the Xagi moved by propulsion and may not need roads at all.

Some hawk like creatures sit birched atop stone walls watching them until there is something streaking through the heavens. Something that races with remarkable speed then slows down as it comes in for a landing just beyond a hill where there is some cluster of that unknown element.

“A ship? In this dimension?” Indeed it was curious to Scorch as she looked to the others. “Shall we check this out?”

“Hold on, you want to trade me cookies for my own glasses?” She doesn't seem unhappy though and seems to be generalizing her as she gets up and moves to her pack digging out a bag of snacks. “I've got some crackers, not the same thing but along those lines. I'll swap for the glasses since I'm going to need them but once we get back I'll make you some cookies.”

It wasn't much of a problem really given all the things she mixed up and worked upon baking was just another equation of adding ingredients in given amounts. She had none of the ingredients or supplies right now but the Saltines were meant as a hold over until she had access to that stuff.

She bids the four luck when they depart though Hope didn't seem to need it from some of the stories she had heard about the girl who was extremely lucky it seemed. Well, better lucky then good she so often heard ...

Krisna nodded happly yes to Lulus confusion of trading her own glasses back for cookies or contacts befor turning to look up at Dessy afther her lover patted her sholder and smiled. "Really? 92 can do that? but... I didnt offer you the deal?...." Krisna paused and thought as she tapped her chin. "Hmm Well if Lulu cant pull through with her end of the deal then I guess I can trade them to you instead? but Lulu needs these to see?" Krisna said with a cute smile befor returning her eyes to Lulu's own afther the agent checked her bag and returnedwith a bag of crackers as Krisna simply puzzledly look at the snacks and cutly tilted her head in confusion.

"Hmm...so Crackers arnt cookies? Yet you are willing to trade them for your glasses??" Krisna said out loud laying out the trade in her own confusing little mind befor she jumped as if a light bulb lite up over her cute head. "Oh! Crackers and cookies!" Krisna giggled befor she cutly laughed rocking were she sat then nodded at Lulu agreeing to the silly trade "Yes! "Deal!" Krisna said to Lulu befor quickly handing over the glasses and accepting the saltines crackers as the concluded their bussness.
______

Krisna would leave with every one els once they were allready, but not with out giving Lulu and other agents who happen to be near her a hug good bye as the quartet soon left to learn of the ruins Lulu spoke of.

The four walked for a short time, fallowing the reading from Hopes scanner and Krisna's omni tool avoiding any Xagi they saw along the way. However as a benifit of future technologie Krisna took the liberty of issuing out sevral holo droans as they walked, unnoticed by the others as those droans head out in ever direction giving Krisna a slowly updating map of this planet, slowing gridding it for the travler to be cataloged in her omni tool.

Yet as the four moved on, Krsna was sure to catalog any ruins they saw only to be startled by the hawks near by ....(#1)

(#2).... by some hawks near by as Krisna quickly moved closer to one of her lovers out of fear befor a seciond time Krisna was scared by the sound of screeching of a star ship ascending from the heavens, landing not to far away.

"What was that?" Krisna asked also looking to her lovers and Nina befor she returned glaces with Dessy and smiled. "Yah!"

“They seem harmless,” Hope relays to Kris as she nears though she was indeed watching the bird-like creatures. She had only seen the Xagi drones and while the birds were watching them they lacked the desire to attack as if humans were alien to them and not their typical prey animals or there were simply not enough of them to pose much of a threat and they knew it.

They seemed to watch and Hope watched them to be on the safe side training her rifle that she had acquired at the camp too from one group to another.

“A ship?”
She blinks and looks as it descends trying to make out the configuration.

“Yep, 92 can do all sorts of things like that. I often use him as a butler when home on Hadante or a co-pilot on the ship. I don't want the glasses and would just give them to Luna.”

But it seemed that Luna's bribe had worked and the four had been off to the ruins. They had eluded some of the Xagi and those birds looked vicious being about the size of cats with razor shape talons. On occasion a tentacle could be seen in their beaks jutting out like a frog's tongue as on got into a brief skirmish with another driving it from a particular favored perch. The tongue coated in a clear slime while the birds did screech a lot, at first Scorch had believed it was a warning of their approach but it seemed to be occurring too frequently for just this.

All in all things had been going well though there was little of that strange energy. The birds had some too in amounts about on par with the drones.

Though as the ship descends Scorch is the first to come up with what the ship was. A shuttle and a pretty big one though it had no weapons aboard it could carry thirty or so passengers plus a flight crew of four if she recalled the model correctly.

“It's a shuttle ...”


Readings of that energy spiked though as they followed and over the hill they could see the shuttle on the ground guarded by a few rough looking reptilian aliens with jet black scales and orange eyes. In the near distance had been the source of the strong energy readings as there were several dozen of larger elephant sized creatures that the aliens were keeping a close eye on rather than the hill.

The behemoth creatures resemble elephants with armored plates and a mass of tentacles instead of legs. Instead of two eyes the head possess one larger basket ball sized one and dozens of smaller, quarter sized eyes line it's body effectively given it all around vision.

The trunk is prehensile and there seemed to be a dozen or so of these creatures off in the near distance simply watching the aliens who had landed their ship near a portion of the ruins where that energy reading was high.

“I know those creatures, I've seen them with Mercer.”

“For them not being your glasses in the first place it looks like you made out.” Luna smiles. She is later hugged by Krisna she bides them good luck as the group gets ready to set out on their unknown adventures though she suspects that the matter will be rather quiet ...

"You sure? they look hungry..." Krisna replyed to Hope as she neared her agent lover in fear of those odd animals watching them. Seeing their creepy beas open to a nasty slimy green tenticles that ony sent a chill down Krisna's spine as she didnt hesitate to clutch Hope's hand in her own befor moving on with her two lovers and the new face companying. However Krisna did find it was odd that those beirds were giving of te same energy as a xagi droan but afther seeing that ship come from out of orbit she quickly forgot about that as she was quickly pulled along by Hope.

Krisna soon found her self with her two lovers hiding just behind a hill, watching them both unsure what to really do inthis sittuation other then copy them. "Uhmm a.... shuttle... it looks... uhmm.... neat.." Krisna could help but smile as shev pretended to know what was happening befor she also took notices to the two dffrent kinds of creatures leaving the shuttle forcing her to pull out her handy dandy omni tool as she flipped it to spy glass mode and got her self a closer look.

The creatures she opserved were strange and unsetting yet Krisna could not help but think they looked familure too as Krisna mummbled to her self. "What are Hideozu doing here?" Krisna said unsuringly befor she heard Dessy mention mercers involvent and those creatures as she looked to her former pirate lover concerned. "Do you think its him?"

Hope glanced at the impassive creatures. The birds didn't seem to be interested in them and she nodded. She was no expert though and as far as she knew no one had studied them.

They were registering about the same levels of that energy as the Xagi, that was weird.

“Yeah. If they were going to do anything they would have done so by now.”


She pulled h lover along stopping as they all did to inspect the shuttle. It was a newer model, she herself had not been familiar with it or the aliens that departed the craft.

Further there were the large Xagi Wardens clustered nearby as if they were protecting something giving the way that they were fiercely observing the new arrival of the shuttle and the Hideozu. She checked her scanner curious if the elephant creatures emitted more of the energy than the Xagi Drones.

The birds were actually Hunters though the girls were larger than their usual prey and thus they ignored them. Had they been directed by one of their commanders or had been in a swarm that would have been another matter though since a swarm could bring them down and consume the four of them.

But the girls had been unmolested thus far. Getting further readings on the new aliens and Wardens alike though Scorch did a bit of thinking.

Among the Hideozu a familiar face would be seen, familiar to Hope anyway … Doctor Nikolas Putnim who she had rescued from Gero Station with her fellow Sweepers. It was obvious that he was under duress as the larger reptilian creatures directed him along with their energy weapons though most had been focused on those elephants.

Most of the aliens disappeared into the building with the doctor and Hope with her scanner could determine a greater energy source emitting from each Warden and from the building itself in enormous amounts.

“It looks like he was one of the doctors lifted off the ship by Mercer. Shelia is that one of your people,”
no response. Right, they had Nina now. Her sister was with Mercer though and she had to decide what to do about this. She could ignore it but there was Selena to consider and the safety of the other girls.

She counted up the Hideozu though. Twelve plus the doctor, two left outside to watch the ship and/or that herd of elephants, Ten inside with the doctor. Four of them …

Scorch thought about the grenades Hope received earlier and wondered if they could be used to drive the herd toward the ship. What from their even if they took these mercenaries out? Use the ship to board with Mercer's, search for Selena and escape? It would be tough no doubt, probably impossible but still she was curious as to what they were doing down there.

“We ought to check this out, keep an eye on it from a distance. If it involves Mercer it cannot be good.”


“Mercer?”
And Nina had to be quickly brought up to speed about him, a mere Crime Lord though she sensed there was more to it then that ...
