Later that night Fox calls a meeting with most of the members of the team to talk about the recent events of the day.
Ok so I assume everyone knows why almost all of us are here?
It's about Krystal right? asks Slippy.
Yes precisely now I'm sure you have all seen what's been going on.
Yeah she's some kinda super athlete or something. Falco blurts out.
Shhhh! keep your voice down.whispers Fox I don't want her to know what we're talking about. Ok so we obviously know something isn't quite right.
I agree it doesn't add up. remarks Peppy I mean the base on Katina was one thing but how she fought on Corneria that was certainly something.
Krystal walks in the room immediately after.
What was certainly something?
Fox thinks of a quick lie to tell on the spot.
That Slippy forgot the poker cards. You know there probably in the very back of the storage room. Would you mind grabbing them for us Krystal.
Sure although I just want to say that I hope your not going to play for actual Money it leads to nothing but trouble.
Nope just pure fun.
Krystal walks out to head to the storage room.
Ok before she comes back. Just everyone keep an eye out for something out of the ordinary. I can't help but shake the feeling something isn't right. Says Fox uneasy.
Krystal walks back in the room.
Here you are boys don't play too competitiveley. Say Slippy is there a way to reboot the settings on the arwings. Mines all out of wack.
Ugh yeah just hold the landing gear button for about ten seconds. a menu will pop up the option to do so. I can actually calibrate it for you if you want.
Oh no that's ok I figured it's best I learn how. And is there any other adjustments I can make.
Well the only other things you can do besides recalibration are reset the g-diffuser and check and erase the flight log.
Ok I'm sure I'll figure it out thanks.
Krystal walks out of the room humming to herself.
Well as long we got the cards might as well play. suggests Falco as he shuffles the deck.
Ok tell me that wasn't strange. says Fox.
Fox your being paranoid she obviously just wants to learn how to make some minor adjustments to her ship without Slippy always having to do it. And as far as the super hero type stuff from earlier it's probably just her training or something.
Peppy you agreed with me earlier. There's something strange definitely going on.
Well now that Falco mentions it it does make sense. I mean we're not necessarily in the safest line of work. She clearly just wants to be prepared for anything especially since the Aparoid threat two months ago.
Yeah Fox don't worry I'm sure it's nothing. Reassures Slippy.
Fox still not convinced looks at his watch and decided to call it a night.
Alright guys I'm just going to go to sleep.
Alright more of Slippy's money for me says Falco.
I thought we weren't playing for money. Shouts Slippy
Well now we are so pull out your wallet.
Peppy just rolls his eyes as Fox walks off to bed.
Later that night
Fox tosses and turns unable to fall asleep. He gets up to get a glass of water. As he walks past everyone's room he peaks into Krystal's room. and sees her asleep. He then sneaks in and turns on a small flashlight.
Ok let's see there's gotta be something in here that would explain everything.Fox whispers.
He goes through the drawers one by one looking for something to explain Krystal's behavior and enhanced abilities. Krystal suddenly wakes up from her slumber.
Huh who's there she says groggy like.
Fox sneaks out the room quickly and goes back to his room pretending to sleep.
Krystal walks into Fox,s room rubbing her eyes wearing a matching set of purple flannel pajamas.
Fox I know you're not sleeping what where you doing in my room she asks Half asleep.
Fox pretends to be dreaming and talk in his sleep.
Yeah take that wolf pew pew.
Krystal shakes him awake. FOX!
Huh oh what time is it?
Don't play stupid I know you were sneaking around in my room now what where you doing.
Oh well I thought I saw a bug crawl in and I wanted to make sure it wasn't poisonous and bit you.
That is the lamest excuse I ever heard. Honestly... Wait a minute this is about earlier today isn't it.
What no of course not.
Fox I don't no why this bothers you so much. so I took down some robots and asked how to recalibrate my ship.
But what about when you were captured.
And I escaped unharmed. I wasn't tortured experimented on or given performance enhancers. Now go to sleep.
She walks out and goes back to bed.
Fox drifts off to sleep thinking to himself.
"Krystal's right I'm just being paranoid I'm sure it's nothing".
