Krystal, IN STARWOLF!?

[Kursed]

"I don't see why not."Krystal said standing up."If you could show me to the mess hall."She added.

[Guest Julius Quasar]

Panther turned off the TV, and set the remote back in its place.

Ten minutes later, he was fast asleep back in his room, in his bed.

[Asper Sarnoff]

"I don't see why not."Krystal said standing up."If you could show me to the mess hall."She added.

Freya shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know the ship anymore than you do. And if we ran into dad, we'd be into a world of trouble." She said. "It can't be difficult to find. This isn't that big a ship you know."

(Come on Kursed. It's your roleplay, try to propel it a little foreward yourself to.)

[Kursed]

Freya shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know the ship anymore than you do. And if we ran into dad, we'd be into a world of trouble." She said. "It can't be difficult to find. This isn't that big a ship you know."

(Come on Kursed. It's your roleplay, try to propel it a little foreward yourself to.)

"You've never been on this ship before?"Krystal asked starting to lead the way out of her room. Eventully she found the mess hall and got what she and Freya wanted before sitting down at a table.

[Showtime 1-1]

(Showtime's got him, don't he?)

(as a matter of fact I do. I've been away for the last week, and I didn't want to interfere with Krystal and Freya there. I'm back now, though.)

Leon hadn't been able to sleep for some reason. Something just didn't seem right. He had retreated to his dark corner of the mess hall for a snack instead.

Damn, what could possibly be up? he questioned himself as he poked, absent-minded, at his bowl of... whatever it was.

I'll be useless If I can't sort it out before we disembark. Something just feels... wrong.

He paid no attention when Krystal walked in the first time. The second time, though, he heard a faint giggle, and a second set of footsteps in a somewhat familiar cadence.

He wasn't surprised then, when Krystal re-appeared in the doorway with Freya in tow. He was, however, surprised that Krystal hadn't noticed him yet. Even more striking was that... he could have sworn that those two, who had fought each other so fiercely not more then a day ago, seemed to now be... friends?

bah, that vixen has gone making friends again. This will end badly for her, I can just tell...

he returned to his bowl of mush, trying to ignore the whole situation, instead thinking about his Wolfen.

[Kursed]

Shrugging off the sudden eyrie dark feeling Krystal  asked Freya "So Freya are you alright after I hit you wiht my staff I'm sorry about that I didn't make you bleed..."Krystal apologized.

[Asper Sarnoff]

"Nah it's nothing to worry about." Freya said before she took a large bite out of the sandwich she had made herself.

She cast a glance over at Leon sitting at the other end of the dining room. Seemingly ignoring them, except for the faint flicker when one of his eyes rotated around and focused on them.

She knew he didn't have loyality to anyone, except for her dad perhaps. He'd have no scruples by telling Wolf about her, effectively putting an end to her plans.

There were nearing Venom however. Once she had sneaked with them down to the planet surface, Wolf would send her home, but take her with them. She was sure of that.

Suddenly, the speaker system barked into life, with Wolfs all to familiar voice. "Starwolf, report to the conferance room in ten minutes for final briefing."

[Kursed]

"Well that's my stop."Krystal joked as she stood up "Take care of yourself Freya."Krystal added as she walked out of the mess hall her sandwhich in her hand as she headed to the conferance room.

Suddenly, the speaker system barked into life, with Wolfs all to familiar voice. "Starwolf, report to the conferance room in ten minutes for final briefing."

"Zzz-huh!?"

Panther was jerked out of a sound sleep, and headed out of his room, locking the door behind him.  He headed for the conference room, and sat down in one of the chairs, waiting.

[Showtime 1-1]

Leon knew Wolf wouldn't have let Freya tag along, she must have stowed away. He considered telling Wolf about Freya being on-board, and decided it would be best if Wolf knew what was going on. The last thing any mission needs is a surprise.

Conveniently, he intercepted Wolf on the way to the conference room.

"Ah, there you are, Wolf. I would like to inform you, in private, about a certain daughter of yours who appears to have invited herself on our trip."

"Ah, there you are, Wolf. I would like to inform you, in private, about a certain daughter of yours who appears to have invited herself on our trip."

  On her way to the Conference room Krystal saw the Leon and  Wolf talking she walked up to them, no emotion on her face, nor in her walking posture.  "Leon you are seeing things what pup would be stupid enough to come on a  dangerous mission  to a dangerous planet of dangerous Unknown possibilities?"Krystal asked, lieing to protect Freya.

"Even if she was on board we've come too far to turn back."She  added."it's likely that we're not the only ones that know of andross's revival so it'd be best if we get to venom as quickly as possible before anyone else gets there."The Cerinian added.

[Guest Julius Quasar]

Panther had a bad feeling come over him, a feeling of premonition...

"Krystal, did someone just rat on Freya?" he thought, hoping Krystal could pick up his thoughts.

[Asper Sarnoff]

Wolf was on his way to the conferance room, holding a bunch of papers in one hand and a cup of strong, black coffee in the other. To keep the drowziness at bay.

Suddenly, Leon walked up by his side. "I'm just on my way to the briefing, got any ideas on how we will keep the Lupine in standby mode without letting out strong electromagnetic signatures from the droids?" He asked as he took a deep draught of his cup.

"I would like to inform you, in private, about a certain daughter of yours who appears to have invited herself on our trip." Leon answered.

The moutfull of coffee came up again and sprayed all over the floor. "Freya!?!" Wolf growled in surprise. Leon just sent him a gaze that said. "How many other daughters do you have?"

To add to the confusion, Krystal appeared around a corner and ran up to them. Starting to babble as soon as she caught what they were talking about.

"Leon you are seeing things what pup would be stupid enough to come on a  dangerous mission  to a dangerous planet of dangerous Unknown possibilities?"Krystal asked, lieing to protect Freya.

"Even if she was on board we've come too far to turn back."She  added."it's likely that we're not the only ones that know of andross's revival so it'd be best if we get to venom as quickly as possible before anyone else gets there." it bursted out of her.

Wolf looked at them both, seemingly somewhat puzzled. "What the heck is going on here?!?" He growled treatingly.

[Showtime 1-1]

Leon turned towards Krystal. I knew she had something to do with this...

"Krystal," he growled, "are you aware of the implications that harboring a stow-away could invoke? This is a matter of Freya's and all of our safety!"

He turned away and mumbled "And I think Freya is just stupid enough to tag along..."

[Guest Julius Quasar]

Panther stomped Leon's foot from under the table. "Shut up, Lizard....You can't prove there's a stowaway...and even if there were one, it would be your fault for failure to check on that, it's your responsibility as second in command, after all..." Panther tried to put Leon in the defensive, by placing Leon in the hot seat, in order to cover for Freya.

[Showtime 1-1]

Leon was getting frustrated, but did his best to keep his cool.

"Listen... I'm not trying to get Freya in trouble. I'm trying to protect her."

Bah... Krystal AND Panther are both in on it, how could I have not caught it sooner...?

He turned to Wolf and waited for Panther and Krystal to quiet down. When they finally did, he spoke.

"Wolf, I know it's my job to ensure the security of the ship, but Freya's a smart kid, and I never expected her to act STUPID enough," He was sure Freya was listening at this point, "to put herself in danger by stowing away. It's up to you on what you want to do," He eyed Krystal and Panther, "And who you want to listen to."

[Asper Sarnoff]

The cold gaze from Wolfs one eye pierced trough both Krystal and Panther. "You two... Helped my daughter sneak on board the ship, and even have the decensy to try and hide it from me?" Each word was spat out, the next one holding more anger than the previous.

Krystal and Panther looked down, neither willing to look him in the face or answer.

"Now? Answer!" He barked again.

Meanwhile, Freya had sneaked up trough the coridor and was now listening to their conversation trough the door into the conferance room. Anxious and terrified for the outcome of it, she did her best not to make a single sound.

This had gone wrong. Horribly, horribly wrong.

[Guest Julius Quasar]

Panther sucked in his gut, screwed up his courage, and decided to swallow his pride.

He stood up, and said,

"It was all my idea...I convinced Freya to stow away, and blackmailed Krystal into hiding her.  If anyone should be in trouble for this, it's me.  I take full responsibility, since this is all because of me.  Not Freya.  Certainly not Krystal. Me."

Panther sat back down, and looked around.  "I hope they buy it...." he thought.  He was willing to take a bullet for Freya, and Krystal, since he was used to being on Wolf's and Leon's bad side.

[Kursed]

Despise her dislike for panther she had little ways out of this at this point "It's true."She added simply. "He'd blackmail me for  messing with his mind , if I hadn't helped him sneak her on."The blue Vixen added.

[Asper Sarnoff]

Wolf stood up from his chair and bent over the table. Giving Panther a true death glare.

"Do you have any idea of what you've done Panther? You've risked compromising the entire mission, the safety of all your teammates, and most importantly, my daughter."

Wolf grabbed hold at the front of Panthers flightsuit and dragged him halfway over the table. "Panther, you're no longer a member of Starwolf." Wolf growled into the cats face. "I'd send you back to Sargasso with Freya in the shuttle, but I'm no longer sure I can trust you anymore."

Wolf let go of Panther, letting him slide back onto his chair. "I can't send Freya home with you, and neither with Leon or Krystal. I need at least them to back me up down there. Neither can I let any of you stay on the ship while we others go down."

Begrudginly, Wolf could only come to one conclusion. "You are both coming with us down to the surface." He growled before he turned his attention to Krystal. "You're not entirely innocent in this..." He said. "You've streatched my patience quite far considering you've only been on the team a couple of days. Don't let me regret taking you in."

[Kursed]

"you've yet to see me work ,Wolf I doubt you will."Krystal replied no emtion showing on her face or even in her sitting posture, however inide she was a bit relief that it hadn't gone worse and had her and panther kicked off the team.

[Guest Julius Quasar]

Wolf stood up from his chair and bent over the table. Giving Panther a true death glare.

"Do you have any idea of what you've done Panther? You've risked compromising the entire mission, the safety of all your teammates, and most importantly, my daughter."

He said. "You've streatched my patience quite far considering you've only been on the team a couple of days. Don't let me regret taking you in."

"Ooooh!  I'm off the team, big loss!" Panther said sarcastically.  He then leaned back in his chair and said "In all seriousness, Wolf, you need to stop treating Freya like a baby, or a child.  You can't hold her back forever...She's old enough to start following in your flightpath...are you going to be holding the keys to her ship out of her reach when she's 30?  Now's the time more than ever to let go."

[Kursed]

Krystal facepawed adn shook her head Not the time for it. she thought.

[Guest Julius Quasar]

 

Panther ignored Krystal's face paw, and just maintained his cool.  He said what he said about Wolf and Freya to purposely draw more heat on himself, and away from Krystal and Freya.  Wolf had already kicked him out of Star Wolf, so he had very little else to lose.  He simply rose from his chair and said.  "Well...I'm off...If I'm off the team, I'm out of this meeting.  Later!"  He walked back to his room.

[Asper Sarnoff]

"Where not done yet." Wolf growled as he pressed a button on the underside of the table, locking the door out of the room before Panther could exit. "On the team or not, you're coming down with us to the surface. And for that, you'll listen to the briefing like the rest of us."

(One thing, Panther off the team will only be temporarily. I've got plans that he'll redeem himself to such a degree down on the surface that Wolf will forgive him and take him back in again. I think this could be a great story to fill in what happened right after the intro of Command, so I'll at least try not to stray to far away from cannon, but work around what we have.

Planned to say that in my previous post, but forgot it.)
