Welcome to Gaia! ::

The cold, snow-swept world of Fichina is completely devoid of vegitation. Despite this, Cornerian scientists believe the planet is an ideal candidate for terra-forming because of the large amounts of frozen water. There are hopes it could become a garden world much like Corneria. Things have progressed nicely, and there is now currently a single mass of green area near the planets equator.

"Planet: Fichina. Habbited by: Unknown. Current Teperature: -10"
"Thanks Cali.. Is it safe to land love?"
"Yes Captain"

After receiving a scan of the planet from his ship, the X-Caliber began to decend to the ground. "Deploying landing gears, prepare for contact" Cali announced. Once landed Tarp took it upon himself to check out the surroundings, he equipped himself with his guns then manualy opened the doors. Walking out of his ship and onto the aliened land, Tarp felt as if he was back on his planet Argua, yet in a different galaxy. He froze in place as he thought about the slim chance of being found by any locals or if his precious Cali would be detained for not being registered in their galaxy. Tarp cringed at this thought and called for Cali. "Cali, despite what may happen from underneath you, drill and achor your position.. Got that?!"

"Yes Captain, I'm anchored in place now."
"Ok good, I don't want anything to happen to you.."

Tarp continued on walking through the snow and slush as he came into view of a large frozen cavern. Right about now he was verry happy that he installed his ship with an on board inteligence, it gave it a sense of character. Though he felt it odd he'd find himself haveing in depth conversations with his ship, he seemed to injoy the company on his sometimes longer missions. Tarp walked in the cavern uncertain as to what he would find or what possibly could find him. At this thought he charged up his guns in inticipation for whatever lurked at the heart of the cave.




(I'm nervous, You all RP verry well and are well educated in Starfox.. I only hope to be able to do this guild and my guildmates justice..)

The Great Fox came out of light speed and pulled into orbit around Fichina and as it did, Marcus trilaterated Tarp's position from the origin of his transmission. He found Tarp's last position in a cave, and sent a short-range call advising Tarp of their position in orbit around Fichina and waited for the arrival of the distressed animal.

((Sorry these posts were crappy, I was rushed! stressed ))

Marcus, now that the Great Fox was safely in orbit around a new planet, unstrapped himself from his chair, and beckoned the others to follow him. He didn't wait to see if they were following or not, but instead he took the fastest route to the docking bay, in order to greet their new arrival.

Marcus led Tarp from the landing bay to the dining hall where they discussed Tarp's situation over a bowl of R.O.B.'s pasta special. Together, they decided that it served their interests best to part ways, after equipping Tarp's ship, which he lovingly called Cali, with supplies. Marcus waved Tarp off and smiled. The good deed had been selfless and it made him feel good about their purpose. Besides, they gained a contact and a favor owed to them, which could come in handy. You never knew when you might need a hand going into a battle as mercenaries.

Marcus turned to Blue and Aello. "Well, now that that's taken care of, how about we get our tails to Palpetoon? Maybe we'll be able to catch Raptor and Pandora! They're carrying a nice bounty..." he said, as if trying to convince them. Chasing down the O'Donnells had been his hobby for two years, not Star Fox's duty. He hoped they would agree to help him track down the two. He wanted more than the money offered for their capture. As a matter of fact, he couldn't have cared less about the money, it was just currency to him. Moreover, getting the money would mean his friends were imprisoned, and that was the last thing he desired. Instead, Marcus was after answers. He wanted closure. Most of all, he wanted back his friends, from whatever darkness had claimed them.

Marcus smiled at the response from Blue. He was impressed with her; despite his years of effectively ignoring his friends in Star Fox, she had accepted him back without much difficulty. "Absolutely nothing," he answered. He led the team to the bridge of the Great Fox, through some long halls and elevator lifts. He turned to address them once there.

"Aello, Blue, we'll be chasing the O'Donnells, but not just because of the bounty on their capture." Marcus took a deep breath before continuing, preparing himself to say what he was about to say. "I have a personal interest in catching up to Raptor and Pandora. They were my friends, and Raptor was a member of Star Fox. I've known them for too long to believe that they've broken any laws, at least not anything major enough for the who of the Cornerian Defense Force to come after them." He bared his teeth in a brief grin, thinking about that statement. "Ok, at least not Pandora," he amended.

His grin faded after a happy moment of recollection. "So, I'm not gonna stop until I find some answers. If you're not committed to that kind of cause, I won't drag you into it. But I really could use some help on this." Marcus looked at the two of them hopefully. "Will you join me in this cause and find peace for all of Lylat in doing so?" He was being a bit melodramatic, but the meaning of the words were true enough. If the CDF were no longer after Raptor and Pandora and rest of the Star Wolf, then most of the fighting forces would return home and the system would, in general, quiet down. "Are you with me, Star Fox?"
