'Ello it iz me! Now I command you to read on! Just kidding, come back! Please come baaack!

Korean Pearl says thanks and moves to next reviewer.

Elener-Esgal: Don't worry you've made up for not reviewing before by reviewing now. I'm kinda busy to one week to big tests called the 'SATs', 'swears blindly at SATs' Thanks for reviewing!

Elwing: How did I come up with the name Nexus? Well, to answer that question we must go back to before the beginning…Nah! Just kidding, I'm a Trekkie and the Nexus is space anomaly in the film Star Trek: Generations. 'Blushes' forgive me. I thought it'd be a good name for a ship.

Kharina: Many, many people. That's in answer to your question. Bye the end of this chapie he'll have one more person to make proud. Heh-heh, read on!

Soul Raider 116: Cool to see you reviewing this! Thanks! Great that you now know you Asculin is, I just read his description K.A gives and I go all tingly. Ahem, ignore me! I think the name you were looking for was Gonrod or something like that. Please read and review again!

Irish Rage And Love: Thanks for your encouraging review. You seem very good at understanding Andalite character. Are they your favourite Animorphs alien? Mine is actually Yeerks to be honest, the really evil ones like Visser Three and Edriss 562.

Now for the next chapter. See if you can see an interesting name in here.

Chapter Five

Hath this planet any Lor?

Andalite date: 8553.15

Earth date: 1959

It was a long boring flight. And horribly tiring, our 'duty' was waste disposal and clean up. What an honourable post. Alloran even went far enough to say that he'd rather be back on the Homeworld, learning under Prince Eoptis. In response Sofor threatened to push him out the air-lock along with the rest of the waste. Isn't cousinly bonding so touching?

I apologise. Alloran must be having an effect on my mind. We didn't see the captain again, he was up on the bridge, and we were down by the airlocks, throwing out waste.

Thus our days consisted of: wake up in our grouped quarters, report to Warrior Baalnet, collect the waste and feed along the way. Dispose of waste. Go back to quarters and study. Sleep. For at least a year this went on.

Breeyar was seriously considering 'borrowing' a fighter and taking it for a 'test flight' as he put it. Lucky enough his shorm talked him out of that ludicrous idea. But then…at last…we arrived at the Veloce Homeworld. They actually named it.

How odd, a species that names their planet. The Homeworld is called thus because that is what it is, but to give it a name…

Anyway it's called Velocia-Rex The Veloce Homeworld I mean. Apparently Seerow thought the name was elegant. The rest of us thought it was strange.

The planet was red. I know that is a simple statement but to be truthful I could not see much else to describe. It was about three times larger than the Homeworld. Red sand stretched itself around the entire planet. Still it was the first other planet I had ever seen, that was enough.

(What will they look like?) Seerow asked breaking our concentration on the Red-planet.

(What do you mean shorm?) I asked him. He just continued to stare out of the view port.

He shrugged his weak shoulders. (I wonder what form these Veloce have.)

(As long as they're not bigger or stronger than us, I don't care what they look like,) Alloran said.

We all gave a general murmur of agreement. (They can't be very smart, can they? I see no ships.)

Seerow kept his far away gaze. (Not every species has ships. That doesn't mean that they're not smart or smarter than us Andalites.)

FWOSHHHHH!The turbo doors opened, the captain stepped through, followed closely by four warriors. All were looking behind them with their stalks. About three seconds later I saw why.

Following the captain and his warriors was a tall creature. It stood about two metres plus. It had two bent-back legs, which ended in two delicate looking paws.

It had an upper body similar to an Andalite's, with two hanging arms with four fingered hands. It had a long enticing tail which twitched constantly.

Its head was the same basic shape of that of an Andalite. There were two large almond shaped eyes, but here's the unusual part, there were neither pupils nor irises, they where all one solid colour. This one's were a metallic emerald green.

It had two long curved antennas sprouting from his forehead. Separating them grew a long upright mane of hair that snaked its way all the way down from its head to its tail. Its mouth looked like that of a carnivores snout but flattened somewhat.

This one was obviously male; it had a muscular body, but not some warrior. And to top it all off its entire body was covered in short, chestnut coloured fur. Its mane and fluff of fur on the tail was deep red.

And one other small fact stood out, it had no ears. None.

(What is that?) Alloran screeched.

The captain's head whipped around to glare at Alloran. The Veloce, because that's what it was, just bared its sharp hunters teeth in what I assume was a smile. Who can tell with mouths?

Then a voice came. A deep angry, almost signing voice. "That is Lord Hath-Galard, pup."

Up behind the orange Veloce came another. This one was a dark yellow-brown with a black mane and red eyes.

Hath just turned to face the other Veloce calmly. "Harro-grrrara" He looked down at Alloran. "Forgive my brother Lor-Halid, he – he – he has trouble sometimes- "

"- controlling his temper!" A female! Another Veloce stepped up behind the dark one named Lor. Even for a different species it was easy to see she was indeed a female. Her fur was a golden-red in colour with a deep ebony black mane and the exact same shade eyes of the first male.

She came up to Lor and did something no female would ever be allowed to do in our species. She wrapped her arms around Lors shoulders and playfully swung around.

We, the warriors and the captain himself just stared at each other. This species was mad!

"Forgive my wife, this time." Hath had spoken again. "Her name is Keeda-Bastet. We are an emotional species, and, unfortunately some find it hard to behave themselves." He glared pointedly at Keeda.

The captain was the first to come out of his reverie. He smiled, (It is an honour to have you all on the Nexus. May I introduce arisths Freyorn, Breeyar, Sofor, Alloran, Seerow and Asculan? I thought that they might give you a tour of this fine ship.)

The captain winked at us as though he thought he was doing us a favour. I tell you: he was not.

Thank you for your time. Don't forget to REVIEW!
