Disclaimer: I don't own StarFox or any of its characters. The people I make up are mine, I guess.

Ok, so I got a slight description about Katt from Connor Wall of Ireland, but where does she come in in StarFox, or StarFox 64, or WHERE THE HECK DOES SHE COME IN????? *Clears throat* Anyway, I gotta know what she looks like, too. Also what her personality is like aside from liking Falco, because the romance portion of this story will not revolve around them. So, how do you like the story so far? Please check out my other story on the Super Smash Bros. Melee category, and review. I would like to see other reviews than from Connor Wall of Ireland. (Though I do appreciate him reviewing all the time. Thanks!) Please, enjoy.

************************************************************************

That night, a certain vulpine crewmember of StarFox went to bed with a lot on his mind. (I'll give you three guesses to guess who I'm talking about.)

************************************************************************

The next day, they arrived at the planet. Everyone was on the bridge when Fox walked in.

"Hey, guys." he said to, well, everyone on the bridge. Some scattered "Hey"'s and "Hi, Fox"'s welcomed him back. They didn't really look at him except maybe a passing glance, for they were working hard for today's mission. Fox had walked near Krystal, for the chair she was sitting in was near the entrance to the bridge.

"Hello, Fox. How are you this morning?" Krystal had turned around in her chair, for she was in a computer chair, playing an Earth game called "Solitaire" on the computer she was sitting near. She was smiling the whole time. Maybe because she likes me, or maybe because I saved her life, he thought. He had little time to ponder this, for he had to respond sooner or later. He turned around to look at her, and said...

"Uh, I'm fine, how about you?"

"I'm feeling wonderful, thank you for asking. I'm a bit anxious about today's mission, though."

"Oh, that happens before every mission." he said, not wanting to worry her.

"Thanks." she said before she turned around. But just before she turned around, there was something in her eyes that off-balanced Fox mentally for a moment, if you know what I mean. Fox couldn't quite put a finger on it, though, as he walked to his chair.

When he got there, he put his full attention on the mission ahead. He looked out the windows of the Great Foxes bridge, and saw the Artifact ahead. Not a very big ship, but obviously fast, for they had gotten here faster than the Great Fox, which had a, as Slippy would say, a "slightly" illegal warp engine. But Foxes' thoughts rested on this for little time, for the Artifact had hailed them.

"Put it on-screen." he said to Slippy.

"Got it, Fox." Slippy responded, and did just that.

"Good to see you again, Fox." Dr. Miles said over the link.

"Likewise. So, where are the ruins?"

If you look in the cut-out of the planet," a small sub-screen popped up next to him showing two sets of coordinates and two sections of the planet, "there are two sets of ruins. One, which seemed to be a smaller town or base, we're not entirely sure. It should take a day, maybe two, to go through. The second set was either a city or a religious gathering place, like the churches you see on Earth, or both. This one will take several days, maybe even a week to search through. But this one will probably have more artifacts to bring along. You decide which ruins to go in first. I also should tell you that there are various life-forms we've detected, none of which can think a lot above instinct, but some are still dangerous."

"Hmmm...

************************************************************************

Another cliffhanger, eh? I knew you'd like it! Voting time!

a): Go to smaller ruins first.

b): Go to bigger ruins first.

c): Let me decide.

It's up to you! But if you are wondering, "Where's the Action/Adventure part?" then you'll be pleased to know that the next chapter will begin that theme. Thanks for reading, and review, as I've said in the first set of author's notes.
