Guardians: The Guardian Kitsune War

"I wonder who that could be." Scarlet says surprised hearing this.

"We'll find out soon enough. Guess an extra pair of hands is always fine."

->...>...>...>...Arival, no encounters.


The group lands in the hangers. There seems to be others leaving in massive fleets at the moment.

Scarlet glances over at them noticing them and frowns. "Something big is going down already."

"That's war. Things will be more lively from now on."

"What he said is true." He says as their commanding officer, Arctica, approaches."You will not be here long, so please don't get comfortable." The wolf says waging her hand as supplies is loaded onto the ship.

"I did not expect that we would be. Who is it that will be joining us?"

Gladius is with Alumia, wondering the same thing Scarlet is.

"Right, everyone this is Ema...the new and improved model." She steps aside to a red panda like species. "She's the first in a line of Anthropormorphic androids set to assist groups."

It's freaky how realistic it is.

"She's a robot?" Scarlet asks her eyes widening as she looks at the android unable to really tell her from a real live being.

"That's...pretty awesome."

"Somewhat...I won't go over the technicals. You can ask her yourself. She's joining your crew to run your ship which, as you can see, is being upgraded so return trips here are reduced."


Alumia is fighting back the urge to bite the mechanics who are touching her ship.

"Are there any things we need to keep in mind with her? Can she be reprogrammed?"

Holding its arm, and trying to keep its sliced up mask on its face, Ixi isn't in a pleasent mood as it looks the android up and down.

"It'll help the wound heal." Scarlet says looking over at Ixi's face trying to see through the slice marks on his mask.

All Scarlet's gonna see are Ixtli's bright blue eyes, and the fresh cut across its barely visable snout.

"I think I can speak for myself. I am self-substaining, so do not worry about me. My orders are to keep system diagnostics for your ship's computers and your COMMS systems in check." She says speaking, her body movement and language is lifelike. Though her speech tone is a little flat.

Arctica clears her throat."Ema, I expect updates on your own systems. And the rest of you, she is not made for combat. She is not to leave the ship unless the area is designated safe. You are excused." She says turning and leaving.

"A welcome addition to our group." Gladius says, nodding. "Quite advanced, too."

"Ema? Can you think for yourself..?" Scarlet asks hesitantly as she edges towards the masked creature trying to be subtle.

There's yells as Alumia as started barking at the mechanics. She's not happy about the additions to her ship.

"Paradoxes do not work on me, so you know. And yes, I can think for myself." She says walking past them and into the newer ship.

"How did you know I was gonna try that?!"

"Hm...interesting." Is all Gladius says, then walks over to Alumia. "Something you don't like?"

"They are messing with my ship. I don't know what half this crap they are adding is. Man, why mine. Why not just give us a new one..." She grumbles to Gladius walking inside. The ship itself is several times larger. Made to house the group for several years. Ema herself has stationed herself at the co-pilots seat, her tail is plugged into one of the jacks.

"Guess this will be our home for awhile." She glances at Ixtli. "You should take that off and let me make sure you aren't badly hurt."

The Hazuit leaps into the nearby air duct, shaking its head.
"No." it responds, and crawls away. Well.......that happened.

"Did he just...?" She sighs and heads into the ship to Ema. "Ema did they stock the ship while they upgraded it?"
