OPTIONAL SIDE STORY: Falco's arrival
Day 4:
I don't know why I'm writing in this journal...I guess there's nothing better to do right now...but I don't really want to think of the past few days. More meaningless searching for someone I haven't seen for so many years...maybe I should go back to...Heh, no chance. I gotta find Katt, and I'm not givin' up until I do.
Two days ago, I arrived at Venom...man, that place brought back a lot of memories...I remember when we arrived the first time and we were taking down row after row of enemy fighters. It was awesome, and then Star Wolf came and tried to stop us...heh, you'd think that famous mercenaries like them would actually put up a half decent fight...wait...Man, I can't stop thinking about the team...maybe I made the wrong decision...What? Heh, well, whatever, as long as no one reads this I'll be ok...
Anyway, I landed on the surface and got out on the newly founded Corneria Peace Colony on Venom, I heard that they set this up to try and stop Andross from coming back again...but I don't see how they can stop a giant floating head like Andross, just by talking to him...ya gotta show him who's boss...Well, whatever, So I landed in the docking bay and was happily greeted by one of the workers and was told to take as long a stay as I wanted...I guess this guy recognized me too, heh, bein' famous sure is a sweet benefit. I asked him if he had seen Katt's ship and he replied, "I don't really remember, wait, is she that cat, the pink one...with the attitude?" I nodded and thought to myself, Yep, that's her, the one with the attitude, heh. I asked him if he knew where she went and he answered, "Well, I don't know exactly, but I heard she was taking another mission for the Cornerian Government." I asked him if he knew anything about the mission and he responded, "I really don't know much about what goes on here, I'm just a mechanic after all, give me a break, If you want to find that out, go to the comm. system in the main building and you could request permission to talk to General Pepper if your that desperate." I thanked him and headed into the large building.
I wandered around for a while, as every other person came up to me and thanked me for saving Lylat those many years ago...It got kind of annoying, so after a while, I just ignored anyone who crossed my path. I walked through a lot of different hallways and corridors looking for this Comm. System, but I couldn't find it. I wouldn't stop for directions though, there's no way I'm gonna take directions from some half-wit Cornerian employee. So I walked around for another hour, tryin' to find the stupid thing, and then, finally, I walked past a large door that lead into a dimly lit room. Above the door, big letters spelled out, "Intergalactic Communication System, Officers Only." Officers Only? I'd have to test that statement. I walked up to the door and two guards stopped me, they yelled, "Hey you, you can't just walk into this room, It's restricted!" I gave them an impatient stare and pointed to the Star Fox symbol on my vest, heh, that shut em' up real fast. They backed up and apologized, "Oh, Falco Lombardi...I didn't realize..." I walked through the door before they could finish, I hate small talk.
I activated the screen and typed in the Cornerian Army Base access codes, I turned on the screen and I saw the face of some lady behind a desk. She answered, "Thank you for calling the Cornerian Army Base, what is your..." I cut her off and told her I wanted to talk to Pepper, why do they have to hire these ditsy receptionists anyway? She replied, "Oh yes, Mr. Lombardi...I'll get General Pepper on the line right away." I waited a good two minutes and no one was receiving the message, I was about to shoot the piece of crap apart with my blaster, but before I could get it un- holstered, Pepper's face appeared on the screen. "Well hello Falco...uhhh...what are you doing at the Cornerian Peace Colony...did you leave Star Fox again Falco? What are you thinking?" I told him I was looking for someone and asked him if their were any mission's bein' dealed out lately. He responded, "Yes, It seems that a strange force is using mass mind control to take over many of Lylat's outer planets, It's nothing you can go on now, because that is a team mission, I can't send out single..." I stopped him and got straight to my real question, had he seen Katt. He replied, "Is that what this is all about, what are..." I gave him a...displeased stare. "Oh, well, No I haven't seen her, and she isn't in this mission either, I thought she was coming to help, but I haven't received contact from her yet..." I stopped him and thanked him for his help. He signed off and now I'm back in my Arwing, making my way back to Corneria, I don't really know of anywhere else to go, so I figured I could just give up and stay in Corneria, unless I found something there...
So it's been two days since that happened and I'm still in my Arwing, flyin' through space. This is getting stupid. I can never seem to find any solid information...This sucks, I'll just quit this pointless journey when I get to Corneria, I'm sure I can find someone better than Katt, there's got to be someone...whoa, sweet, an asteroid field, I've had enough of this auto- pilot, time for some fun...
