"Cadet Squallwing reporting, sir!" "Very good cadet. Now, how are the supplies looking?" "We are able to go at least 5 more sectors before we need to restock again, Commander Orion." Very good. Continue with present duties, Cadet." "Yes, Sir."
While I was on the exploration ship, I was assigned to be a normal cadet, but later I was assigned to keep watch over our supply levels as well. I didn't want to mess up, because the Commander, Orion, had taken quite a liking to me. Orion was a stout polar bear, with a personality to match. He went berserk if something went wrong, but if all was well, he was really quite nice. But one day, as I was on my usual supply routes, the alarm went off. I swore I could hear the Commander yelling, even though I was in the hull and he was on the bridge. I rushed up to the bridge, but saw that I shouldn't interfere. The Commander was speaking to a maniacal looking albino ape, who was clearly getting on the Commanders' bad side. "Now see here, Andross, we have no aggression towards you! Cease attacking this vessal at once!" the Commander was trying hard not to lose his temper, which is something that doesn't usually happen. "Oh, now what if I don't? You're clearly unarmed and have no way to retaliate if I do this…" the line went dead as another barrage of shots panged off the shields. I was thrown to the floor and banged my head off the cold, metal floor. "OWWW!" I shouted. But something was wrong. I couldn't think clearly after that. My mind had fogged over and I sat dimwitted on the bridge floor. "Grrrr… we have no choice. Venture outside the Lylat system. We are running…" Before I was ushered out of the bridge by a smart looking female husky, I saw we were on the edge of Venomian airspace, heading around the edge of Sector Z. After that, everything was a blur, we were shot down just as we left Lylat, and were forced to abandon ship. After that, the computers' autopilot on the escape pod set a course for the nearest planet that supported life. I never saw any of my fellow ship mates after that… But that wasn't the worst part. After I crashed on the planet, I distinctly remembered that apes' name "Andross… hmm.I could've swore he was destroyed by Star Fox…" My mind was fading fast, and I couldn't tell if the words I spoke were true or not. And that's how I came to land on this dinosaur-infested planet. Although, as if by pure luck, my life was about to hit a turn for the better
Well people, sorry it took so long to get this one up. Had to keep up with schoolwork. I'll try to get next chatper up faster to accommidate long wait.
