"Alright Krystal, land your Arwing on the roof of the spacecraft, next to mine, and set your Arwing to breach mode, okay." Fox said as he moved his Arwing into a soft landing, a soft thud rang into the canopy of fox's Arwing, before turning his ships mode into breach mode
"Okay, I'm going in for the landing, waiting on your go." Krystal voice crackled over Fox's head set.
Fox looked over to his right to see Krystal landing next to him, a slim clear tube extending on the bottom of her Arwing as she switched the Arwing into breach mode, before catching a glimpse of the other two members of his team flying around the outer perimeter of the crash site.
"How are things looking out there Falco and Slippy, is there any unusual spacecrafts or objects looming about here?" Fox asked, scanning the area just to make sure to notice something that his other two teammates hadn't seen.
"Nope, there's nothing out here. How about you Slip's?" Falco voiced buzzed over the radio.
"Same thing here, you're good to go Fox." Slippy responded in his cheery pitched voice.
"Alright then, keep up the good work you two. Krystal, let's see what we can find inside." Fox gave a short smile as he nodded his head. He looked over to Krystal and saw her place her thumbs up to him before sliding down into the tube that led to the spaceship.
Fox followed her next move, as he grabbed a hold of his blaster and turned his scanner on to night vision mode and prepared to encounter anything that could possibly attack them inside. Once he slid down the tube, fox landed rather quietly, blaster already aimed in front of him. What he saw inside the wrecked ship was a total mess. The entire inside of the ship was completely torn, there were wall panels littered across the floor, lights slightly flickering on and off and exposed wires dangling off the walls and roof, behind them, Fox could see an airtight door where the ships rear end should have been, but was now missing.
Aside from the flickering lights, the ship was completely dark, there wasn't even any emergency lights on inside. Thankfully, both Fox and Krystal had night vision scanners equipped with them so at least they could see what was going in front of them, making navigating the mess inside much easier and giving them an edge against any unaware attackers. Fox started walking ahead, making sure not to make any contact with the exposed wires that crackled back and forth, Krystal following close behind covering his six.
As Fox and Krystal continued walking ahead, they came into a semi long hallway that spilled out into a large square room; two doors were located to the sides of them and up ahead was another hallway. Fox stopped moving forward and began looking around to see if there was anything waiting to jump them from their sides.
"Krystal, Go check the right door, I'll get the left one okay." Fox whispered quietly as he made his way over to the door, carefully so that he wouldn't alert anyone inside of his presence. Krystal nodded her head and went to her target location, while fox reached the left door and carefully placed his left hand on the door.
The door did not move forward when he applied force onto it, so he tried moving it over to the left. Once he did that, the door slowly opened, enough to get a peek of the room inside. Fox aimed his blaster through the small opening of the hole, scanning the room with the barrel like a guard dog's nose sniffing the air for any intruder. It appeared that nothing was in the room, aside from debris of what used to be a night table and a bed thrown all the way across the room. Fox placed his left hand over to his headset and pressed the button to speak over to Krystal.
"All's clear over here, Krys. What about you?" Fox spoke quietly.
"It's clear over here too, let's move up. I'll meet you at the hallway up ahead." Krystal replied over the headset.
"Roger." Fox responded back as he began to make his way back over to meet up with Krystal.
It wasn't long until Fox met up with Krystal at the entrance of the other long hallway by the end of the central room. He took a quick glance over to Krystal to see if she was ready to proceed forward, she only jerked her head telling him to get a move on. Fox nodded at her gesture and began walking into the hallway in front of him. He made sure to keep his blaster ready to fire just in case of anything jumping out at them. As the two continued to walk forward into the hallway silently, Fox would periodically look over at Krystal from behind his shoulder to see if she was still keeping up with him and covering their backs as they moved forward deeper into the corridor.
Soon enough, Fox noticed that they had reached the other end of the hallway, a solid white sliding door stood in front of him like the one at the room he had checked back in the large center area. Fox took his position on one end of the door and Krystal took her position on the right, the two looking at each other as they prepared to breach the room on the other side of the room. Fox looked over at Krystal and placed his left hand up and held up his fingers, counting down from five to zero signaling when to start the breach. Once Fox reached zero, the two of them grabbed a side of the sliding door and quickly forced open the door, quickly changing their position into an armed and ready stance as the two partners aimed down the sights of their blasters and scanned the area for any hostiles.
"It's all clear, there's no one here." Fox said out loud once he saw that there was absolutely nobody in the room.
The room looked to be the cockpit of the ship, a tall pilot's chair stood at the center of the room with a large dashboard jutting out in front of it. The cockpit seemed to be in just as bad condition to the rest of the ship, there where large panels from the wall littered across the floor and an entire assortment of cables and wires jutting out from the roof. There was a small electrical fire burning over at the left side of the room, but it didn't seem to be spreading anywhere. Fox and Krystal began walking over to the center of the room to get a closer look at the control panel, when Krystal noticed a strange object slumped over in the pilot's seat.
"Fox, there's someone or something sitting on the pilot's chair!" Krystal called out to Fox.
Fox quickly made his way over to the chair and saw the slumped figure sitting on the chair. It looked to be entirely mechanical; the frame of the machine was bright white with black lines protruding around the plating of the white sheets. It seemed to resemble a living organism, for it had limbs and other feature similar to a normal person in Corneria; however its head was completely made up of the white metallic sheets just like the rest of the body was. Whatever the thing in the chair was, it was clearly not up and function, as it had a large metal panel pinning it down to the chair, being unable to move or do anything had it been powered on or living.
"What should we do Fox?" Krystal Asked as she stood patiently waiting for an order from her leader.
"Let's take this thing back on to the ship. If this thing is a robot, then R.O.B could perform a data transfer from the CPU's hardware. Help me get this thing off of it." Fox replied as he walked closer to the slumped object and grabbed a hold on the large panel pinning it down to the chair.
Krystal went and grabbed the other end of the panel and helped move it from on top of the object in the chair. Once the panel was off, Fox and Krystal could see that the panel had done some minor damage to the object, a crack was shown on the objects back and a dark fluid was oozing out slowly from the area near the head.
"Carefully, help me take this back to my Arwing, it's got oil spilling out from the top part." Fox replied as he grabbed the object by what appeared to be the shoulder area and hoisted it up on to his shoulder, Krystal getting next to him to help position the object into a better position.
"Alright Krys, I'm going to need you to lead the way. This robot is a little heavy for a machine." Fox said as he prepared to lug the object on his shoulder over to his Arwing.
Krystal nodded her head as she began leading the way for Fox, as he carried the object on his shoulders, a little bit of the fluid substance leaking out from it landing on his flight vest. It wasn't too long before Fox and Krystal made their way back over to the Arwings, and once Fox managed to place the object in the co-pilot's seat behind his, the two were ready to return to base.
"Alright guy's lets return back to base." Fox said over his radio headset as he fired up his Arwing and took off, Krystal doing the same following close behind him.
"Ok, returning to base." Falco replied as he changed his course over to the Great Fox.
"Roger that heading to base." Slippy also replied, following closely behind Falco.
As the Star Fox team began their course back over to the Great Fox, the wrecked ship was slowly beginning to fade away into the distance behind the team, a new addition of forgotten wrecks floating endlessly in the Lylat system.
