Macros chuckled and shook his head, he finally reached a hand out, "The name is Macros by the way..." he stated, giving a smile.

----------------

Toby quirked his mouth a bit, "Needed?" he asked, he didn't want to make his 'lessons'. He ran up to the door, opening it for John as they entered, "Come on, I bet the park is beautiful today." he said excitedly.

Mark took the hand and shook. "The names Mark, Mark McConnelly." He responded

"Well, its a sunny day out, and I bet it is nice out." He stated following behind the Hyper little tiger.

Macros chuckled, taking his hand back. He thought for a moment, "So, this mysterious home world of yours, you ok to talk about it?" He asked, his curiosity probably getting the better of him.

------------

Once John was inside the complex, Toby took his hand again, this time trying not to let his excitement get to him. He walked slowly, looking up to John and thought for a moment. "Dad?" He asked hesitantly, seeing what John's reaction might be.

*Switching to Stephen here, character info on my profile page.*

Stephen checked into the front of the complex. Guards armed with assault rifles stood watch over the pulsating mass of people flooding through the entrance. He had a major gig tonight, the biggest and best-paying of the year. Today he was wearing a black t-shirt and his trademark shorts with a black beanie. His gear had probably been dropped off at the venue, an underground stage below the complex slums.

Tonight was his night.

Darius stepped into the bar and was greeted by a screechy horrible sound coming from the mouth of the person on Karaoke.

"dear god," Darius said harshly "If they had that during the war, the aparoids wouldn't have been a problem." The brown vulpine approached the bar and sat on a synthetic leather stool. Attention caught, felt the material with his hand.

"Not bad, not bad at all, but nowhere near as good as my trench-coat," said Darius.

Darius' trench-coat was one of his prized possessions, it was a blue-black dyed leather and had white symbols on the back and sleeves. He liked it a lot and just happened to be wearing it.

The bartender, a young feline approached him and asked with a smile "what would you like?"

Resisting the temptation to ask "are you on the menu?" Darius pulled a few coins from his pocket and wisely replied "just a cola please."

The bartender smiled and gave him his drink. Darius was about to drink it when the singer spectacularly tried to hit a high note, badly.

Darius turned his attention to the feline bartender and asked "does that person come in here very often?"

She replied "at least once a week, but the singing never improves."

The song finished and the singer stepped off the stage, much to everyone's delight. Darius drank his cola, turned his attention to the bartender and said "I'll show everyone REAL singing." He turned and walked to the stage.

Stephen decided to hit the bar before his show. He stepped into the dim room, glancing about. A couple kissed in the corner, an old terrier lay passed out on one of the tables, and a crappy singer stood in a corner, wearing a revealing outfit and attempting kareoke. Otherwise, the people here could be anybody, uninteresting. Stephen reached down to his belt loop and pulled out his phone, quickly bypassing the low-level security on the speaker system and forcing his music onto the stereo.

With a sigh, he sat down at the bar next to a vulpine in a trenchcoat. He ordered a few shots of vodka, downing the first one before glancing at his neighbor.

"Hey man, you got any smokes?" He said.

Hearing a question, Darius turned and said "I don't smoke, maybe you'd like a drink instead. Now if you don't mind, I have to go show everyone how a REAL signer sings."

Approaching the stage, Darius stood tall and said "hey everyone, now for your benefit, I'll hit you up with this most awesome song."

Selecting a song from the computer Darius began to sing (youtube.com/watch?v=Jdvmw4FRzQ8&feature=related good song actually)

*three minutes later* Darius finished his song and sidled back to the bar. In his mind Darius said "that will teach that poser a lesson!"

"Well, that's alright. I was just trying to mooch a smoke off you, I have my own right here." Stephen said, chuckling to himself as he pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

The vulpine got up, walked confidently over to the stage, picked up the mic, and began to sing. While it wasn't the greatest singing he'd heard, it was better than the woman before him.

The fox came back and sat down, saying a few words about the "poser".

"Hey, man, anybody who dresses that slutty probably just wants to get drunk and laid tonight. That's how it goes. My name's Stephen, by the way." Stephen said, extending a hand.

Darius shook Stephen's hand and said in his Northern Cornerian (Scottish) accent "Darius Angel. good to meet you, and really?"

He looked at the woman "nah, not my type. Besides, I have a good thing going right now." Reaching for his coke, Darius asked "so what brings you here?"

Stephen reached into his pocket, retrieving a ticket. "I'm a DJ, tonight's one of my most profitable gigs of the year. Going to be previewing some new tracks before an album release next month." He slid the ticket to Darius. "You better show up tonight. So much bass your eyeballs will implode. Bring earplugs unless you think you're man enough."

Stephen glanced down at his watch. "Damn, gig starts soon, see you there!" He said, slapping a $20 on the counter and rushing out of the bar. He jumped over a guard rail, sliding down an angled concrete wall, then sprinting to the location.

Luckily his gear had already been dropped off, but people were already arriving. He grabbed a can of flourescent green fur paint, quickly spraying designs on his arms and chest. An advisor cried "Five minutes to show!"

His intro track started to play.

Darius sidled into the crowd, nobody noticing him. Looking up, he saw Stephen mixing it up. Darius muttered "interesting, most interesting." Listening intently, Darius soon began tapping his foot to the beat and lost himself in the music.

After listening for a few minutes, Darius went to get a drink from the refectory.

"not bad," said Darius as he got his usual cola.

Stephen swapped out a USB key, pulling over the audio files. Time to bring it up a notch. He slid the low-end sliders up in a neat little curve, then brought the volume up as he faded between tracks. The crowd went insane as the light show blasted beams of epilepsy across the dark hall. He couldn't help but notice some of the females in the crowd. The blue flashes cast strange shadows across the brick. Stephen yanked off his headphones and jumped over the DJ console, throwing himself into the crowd. His tail whacked some people in the face, or perhaps the crowd tugged at it as he was carried to the concessions.

He snatched a bottle of vodka from the stands, nodding at Darius before jumping parkour back up to the console.

Watching with a raised eyebrow, Darius said to himself "if he keeps drinking that, this'll be a short night for him. Shame."

Checking his watch, Darius said "hmm, wonder what Wolf is up to right now. Oh well, just as long as he stays away from the casino. He's good."

Noticing something odd, Darius looked urgently and shouted "what's that?" But his voice was drowned by crowd.

(dun dun dun)

Pete Stacker walked off the transit ship and into the checkout lobby to gather his gear. Upon finding it, a customs officer, who looked like a German Shephard said, Sorry sirm no weapons allowed, leave them here for safe keeping until you decided to leave."

Stacker looked up at the Canine, and thought, What sort of planet is this...?

"Uhm, sorry my mistake, here you go," Stacker replied, handing over a pisotl and a mean looking shotgun, "By the way sir, what planet am i on?" Stacker inquired, feeling the back of his head; he hadn't felt well when he got on the hsip, and thus slept the whole way. This mean t he hadn't seen the crew or the passengers.

"Oh, you're on Corneria, says right there." The Shephard pointed.

"Thanks."

He meandered through the throng of beings as to get outside and survey his surroundings.

What he saw was very unexpected and new to him: He saw a sprawling city, with clean air, lush parks, and all sorts of buildings as far as the eye could see.

Pete, you aren't in Kansas anymore....

Stephen glanced up and noticed Darius waving his arms and yelling. Stephen chuckled, "Now you've got it, Darius. Nobody's watching, in fact..." Stephen threw his hands in the air, and the whole crowd threw theirs up too. A blast of euphoria shot through Stephen's body. But something...wasn't right... Stephen glanced to where Darius seemed to be pointing, but his eyes were too adjusted to the strobes and sweeping beams that he couldn't see anything besides an afterimage.

The Marine finished gawking and was eyeing the denizens and travelers that bustled about around him.

Alright keep cool, keep cool. You're only surrounded by....creatures from another planet that we alread-

Pete chuckled to himself,"Look at me, hardened marine and im already freaking out. Mabye my mind is going haywire..."

His mood changed back to bussiness and he went about formulating a plan.

Need to shed this uniform before any Military personel spot me. Its not the first time we've run into these....people before.

Mark looked at Macros and his phone soon vibrated. "Hey bud, Here is my card, but I have to get going."

The Red Fox soon ran outside looking at his phone and ran into a gentleman wearing a Uniform that seemed familiar.

He looked at the Marine and cocked his head...... "Let me guess.......A Marine?" He stated.

Pete was still lost in thought, when he noticed someone who looked like a Fox wearing a suit, apeared to be look at him.

He looked harmless, but looks can be decieving......

Intinctivley dropped for his holster, but felt nothing there. Attempting to hide his frustration,"How do you know that?", he replied, attempting to play dumb. Again, he had run into these people before...

Mark extended his paw. "How is earth these days?" He asked giving a smile.

"The name is McConnelly, Mark McConnelly. Agent McConnelly really, but back in my old days.... Captain McConnelly."

I'll play along for now..., he thought to himself.

He set his single luggage down and extended a hand and shook the Fox's hand,"Messy, real messy. Pete Stacker, nice to meet you too, Captain."

"Please, Just Mark." He stated with a smile, picking up on the vibes from Pete.

"What seems to be happening with Earth? " Mark asked concerned. "I mean when I left there a few years back," He paused " God what was it 8 years or so?" He mumbled a bit. "Everything was fine"

"Heh, lets just say....she's seen better days. Alot better days.",he mused. Pete bent down for the luggage and sighed of the Earth. "But on the lighter-side, what's this place like?"

"Well, It's like Earth, last time I saw it." Mark said with a slight chuckle. "No wars, no violence, except for small crimes here and there." he paused again. "It truly is an amazing planet."

Mark kinda looked down. "Makes me think of all that I left behind." He stated. "Seems Starfleet was able to use the Technology of my Old Starship to perfect interstellar transport here." Mark stated.

Pete smiled a bit a the Fox's remark,Heh,Earth peaceful, heh. Pete covered his mouth with a gloved hand, trying to hide a smile, which in turn was trying to stiffle a laugh.

"Y-yeah, sounds interesting." He said looking up at a ship fly over head. Letting out an exhale, he said,"So what do you do around here?" He partially motioned with his head for "can we walk?"
