The hedgehog’s brow narrowed as he carefully watched the incoming pod…
Shadow had received a report from G.U.N. not long ago…Some sort of unidentified object was dangerously nearing the Earth’s atmosphere…It had almost been shot down, being mistaken for an asteroid…But upon closer inspection, it appeared to be some kind of…Vessel? Nothing inherently dangerous, so it seemed…Concerning nonetheless. Shadow was naturally selected to investigate the situation. The trajectory had been calculated, and Shadow arrived just in time to watch the pod crash into a nearby forest. With little hesitation, his Air Shoes flared up, and he dashed towards the crash site.
The sight was…Unexpected, to say the least. An animal, specifically a cat, it would seem. A pink one, no less. Not that he was complaining, so to speak. It was certainly preferable to some sort of alien threat…That being said, he would remain cautious. Appearances can be deceiving, after all.
A quiet “blip” could be heard nearby…Not even a second after, a voice spoke out from behind the cat.
“Perhaps I can answer those questions…If you’re willing to cooperate, that is.”
The black hedgehog stood atop the wreckage of her ship, arms crossed as he stared down at the girl.
“Let’s start simple…Just who are you, and where did you come here from?”
The pink cat’s ears twitched at the sound of a voice. She looked around in a puzzled manner before looking up at the top of her ship. She placed her hands on her hips, she frowned at him. She didn’t like it when people demanded information from her. After all, being raised by pirates, you got very used to avoiding questions. But he could offer her important information too.
“I could ask you the same thing, nya.” She gave him a little huff, “My name is Mao, and my father’s ship was attacked and he launched me out in an escape pod.”
Her tail twitched as her gaze lowered to the broken control panel of the ship, “I don’t know how long I was drifting in space… The computer stopped fifty years ago but that can’t be right, nya.” She didn’t feel like a fifty year old. Though she was put to sleep so her time must have frozen from the moment she left the ship.
“I’ve never been on a planet before, nya. Where is this? I think it’s your turn to talk, mister.”
