Macbeth was mostly covered in rugged and rocky terrain, having a few forests here and there, but only enough to throw it over the border to call it a Class M planet. Katt looked out of the cockpit window of her ship. Below them there were buildings that resembled rough factories and houses, many that looked like they had been either destroyed or half destroyed at one time. In the distance she could see other buildings, some that were much larger than the earlier ones. One was easily the size of three football fields in length.
Bill watched as the Catspaw settled down to the ground, and he followed suit, landing his Cornerian Fighter near Katt's ship. The cockpit hatch of the Catspaw opened and Katt jumped out, landing gracefully on the ground.
"What's the use of coming here, Katt?" Bill asked her as he climbed out of his ship. He looked around.
"Star Wolf was last seen here, and I think they have something to do with that imposter." replied Katt.
Bill went wide-eyed, his expression one of surprise and disbelief as he stared at Katt. He really hoped that she wasn't planning on trying to find Star Wolf. That would be like committing suicide!
"You're WHAT?" He got it now. He had heard her wrong. That had to be it! "You're joking, right?" No answer. She only smiled. "Right?"
"I didn't say I was going to do anything, now did I?" She gave him a look of innocence. "Besides, I can't have all the fun."
"I don't think I like your definition of fun." Bill mumbled to himself as he walked a few feet behind Katt as she walked toward the small industrial city, or what was left of it.
They had settled their ships down on the city's outskirts, so it was only a couple of minutes before they found themselves walking down one of the city's streets toward the large building that Katt had seen from the sky earlier. Nobody seemed to be living anywhere. Maybe at one time, but not any longer. The city was literally crumbling apart.
The large sized factory building didn't look any better. The main doorway that served as the entrance inside was completely blocked by fallen debris. As far as Katt and Bill could tell there weren't any other ways of getting in. The sound of an aircraft engine in braking mode caught their attentions. A small Venomian supply ship slowly entered the area. A large hatch door lifted up from the ground, and the Venomian ship slowly entered in.
Katt and Bill took off running, barely making it into the entrance before the hatch closed.
