The truck parked behind a already parked car in the driveway, the trio all got of the vehicle while troy stayed on the bed still observing the house. "Ok Mr.pilot, we are here but hunter still has to go home so what are you going to do?" Ariel asked, pulling her bag from the back. "Nothing has changed dragon, he can leave if he wishes to but." Troy shot hunter with menacing glare before continuing. "If he happen to tell anyone about me or my titan than he can kiss his friends goodbye." All hunter did was quickly nod and walked back into his and backed out of the long driveway.

"Tell me Tomi, who is home at the moment?" Troy asked. Both the fox and Ariel made their way to the front door, he pulled out a set of keys that troy assumed was his house keys. "My dad is home, my mom little sister should be back from their trip too." Tomi paws were starting to shake when he slowly twisted the mechanism to unlocked the door, dread filled his heart when looked back at the man standing behind him. "Please don't hurt anyone." The only response troy gave him was a sigh before pressing a button on the side of his helmet, blacking out his visor again so they couldn't see his face anymore. Tomi breathed deeply and opened the door leading inside, he was quickly was greeted by a ball of white fur running in between his legs.

"Big brother! Welcome home, hey there horn head." Jessica yapped happily while Tomi bent down to lift up the young kit. "Hey there snowball, miss me?" Her response was a lick to the muzzle and a tight hug. "Of course i missed you silly, i thought you were gonna be gone all weekend." the older fox tried to give her a reason why they came back early on their camping trip but all he gave was nothing but a depressing expression. "I thought so too until we had unexpected company." he said while giving troy a sour look who was just entering through the front door. Jessica flattened her ears and immediately ran behind Ariel when she saw the towering figure. "W-who is that?" She stuttered, her ears quickly falling flat on her head. Troy didn't even notice the little kit before she said anything. "Tomi! Is this your little sister? She's no taller than knees!" The man said with snicker. His voice alone was more than enough to make the poor thing jump. "It's alright snowball, he won't hurt you unless he wants his tail kicked to next year." Ariel rensure the kit but fear was still clung to her.

"Come on sis, show me where dad is at, we gotta tell him we have a guest and also where's mom?" Jessica nodded and lead her brother out towards the back yard while still glancing at troy, " he's at back and i think mommy is out getting groceries." she said while leading tomi out to the kitchen, eventually leaving the pilot alone with Ariel. "My titan is still at your little camp, i can ask her to get anything you may have left behind if you want?" Ariel rolled her eyes and went over to the living room to sat down, troy sighed and eventually followed suit. He took a seat in a reclining chair overlooking the entire room while she went for the long couch, she pulled out the remote that was wedged between the cushions and powered on the television. they were greeted by white tail doe who was in a business uniform discussing the weather, Ariel wasn't interested one bit but troy was a different story. "Your planet holds so many similarities to our old world, its almost scary just thinking about how things would be if we crossed paths much earlier in the expansion of the frontier." Troy said with a sense of awe. "What did you mean by us being lucky about not meeting the other factions on the ride here?" She said, completely ignoring troy's complement

He mumbled something under before answering her question. "There are 7 factions that are currently fighting within the so called frontier right now: The militia and The 6-4 are supposed to be allies but im not entirely sure, then we have the apex predators, visions dynamics, the ARES division, the Aces and finally the Remnant Fleet. If they found out about your world then they will most likely try to make contact and convince your people to join their cause, you will be forced to fight a war that you had no involvement in. Im just here to study and learn but i will kill if i absolutely have to so please keep that in mind." Ariel was thinking about what he said before nodding and getting up to grab a can of soda from the kitchen.

It didn't take Jessica long to find her father, he was sitting on the back porch reading his favorite comic book with a glass of water near by. "Daddy, Tomi is home early and he brought a scary looking person with him!" The kit said. The fox looked up from his reading and gave both of his kids a warm smile, he carried the same white fur as his daughter although some spots on his body held a more dark grey color to them. "Oh really now? Tomi you know your mother is always worried that you might be hanging out with the wrong crowd." He said jokingly while taking a sip of his drink, "dad i wish that was the case but i didn't have a choice but to bring him here." the older fox immediately stopped what he was doing and stared directly at his son's eyes with a sense of confusion and uneasiness.

" Jessica go to your room and stay there until i say you could come out, Where is he now son?" He asked. Tomi lead his father back to the living room where troy and Ariel were watching TV in. "You must be the owner of this household, it is a pleasure to be meeting you." troy held out his hand but retreated as soon as he realized that he didn't know how the inhabitants greet each other. "yes welcome to my home stranger, is there a reason why you are here?" Chris asked calmly but his posture gave away his emotions, his tail was swaying rapidly while his fur stood up from his back, he was pissed and everyone felt the tension in the room but troy. "Ahh well i needed a place to stay and being confined inside a star carrier for so long can do a number on us humans so your boy over there graciously offered me this place to rest and relax, i hope you don't mind that is?" troy asked but knew damn well that they didn't have a choice at this point, Chris agreed and gestured towards the hallway to his right. "down the hall to your left is the guest room, across from that is the bathroom if you need to use it. you can stay for as long as you like, i will be making dinner shortly if you want something eat but im not sure what aliens eat so i hope you like what i make." This put a smile on troy's face. "you are too kind my good sir, ill be sure to swing on by to eat if im not busy and also just to let you know, if tell anyone else besides your family about me then im not gonna be happy." Chris held out his paw and slowly shook his head. "i know exactly what would happen, no need to press further."

troy nodded and made his way down the hallway while everyone else stayed in the living room "how long is going to be staying here?" Chris asked. "He told us that he plans on staying until he is finish studying our world so im not exactly sure. Honestly, i thought space aliens would be more 'take me to your leader' types than this." Ariel chimed in. "Well hopefully he'll be gone sooner than later, im going to talk to your sister about our guest while you two get the grill ready, we are making burgers tonight!" Both of them cheered in agreement before heading off.

It was late afternoon when troy was finally able to take breather, the Sun was nowhere to be seen but its light was just noticeable over the horizon. " Valkyrie give me a report, what's going on in my ship?" There was slight paused before her over enthusiastic voice squealed throughout his helmet. "Ah captain troy, we have received a couple tons of Gleatrium from the mining units a few hours ago, we can apply the stuff to some of our spectres and one titan on your orders." She asked, he put some thought into it while removing the armor pads braces from his chest and fore arms. "Yeah go ahead and do that val. design me a new combat suit while you are at it, i want to be able test it out against you and spark later on."

"Will do captain, we'll let you know when its ready. I'll go on and gain access to a nearby satellite so we can know a little more about the planet so you'll be on your own for a hour or two." A faint scent of something being cooked attacked his nostrils it held a sweet savory aroma that his mouth water to the point that troy had to stopped what he was doing and peeked his head out of his door to investigate. The smell was more abundant out in the hallway followed by someone having a conversation. "Damn the smell killing me." Troy whispered while slowly making his way back to the living room, the television was on but no one was there to watch it so he pushed on. He followed the source all the way to where the 3 foxes and the dragon were sitting at a table eating. None of them notice his presence until he fully came into view, "hey Mr. Pilot, better grab yourself one before horn head here eats it all." Tomi said while taking big bite out of his burger, Ariel growled and playfully punched him in the shoulder which made him gag from sudden attack. troy bit his lower lip and stared at them for a second before submitting to the delicious looking meal. "Fine i guess I'll grab something to eat but i want the biggest one you hav-"

"Stella-2 i have 20 unidentified targets closing in on my position. They appear to be circling me, all awaiting orders to use deadly force!" Troy's northstar blared over his headset, he stood still . "Stella say again, what is going on?" he asked. "They are throwing emp's at me sir, my battery is losing power, i will be immobile if this continues. Permission to use lethal force?" She repeated, troy quickly left the kitchen and bolted to the guest room. "Fuck, Stella-1 you are authorize to use lethal force. Do not let them shut you down by any means!" he scrambled to place back on his armor and jump kit before running out of the front door. "Captain we lost contact with Stella-1, our readings suggest that her battery was fried during the confrontation. We have a recon drone at the campsite and it looks like they are strapping her down for transport, what should we do sir?" He heard spark say over the comms, Troy didn't had any other option. "Spark continue to track her and call down a goblin to pick me up, we gotta retrieve that northstar back no matter what!" Troy barked into his headset while snapping into place the piece of his jump kit.

"Hey is there something the matter? unless running out of homes for no reason is your sort of thing?" Tomi asked from the front door, plucking out small bits of food from his teeth with his claw. "Yeah, someone decided to attack my titan and now i have get her back, don't do anything stupid while im gone." Troy hissed; the fox rolled his eyes continued picking at his teeth while watching the pilot looked towards the heavens as if he was waiting for something. Suddenly, a bright light covered the night followed by a loud boom. The goblin drop ship warped into view as its engines screamed for all to hear, it descended at a rapidly towards the ground with its side door automatically opening. It hovered a couple meters above the ground, only a few feet from where troy patiently stood.

He climbed on-board the small ship and turned just in time to see Tomi staring in awe by what just happened. He gave them a nod before the door shut and the dropship took off again, warping out of the planet's atmosphere just as quickly as it entered.
