David walks up to Winor, who looks up from his clip board, "Winor! Thanks for coming so promptly on short notice!"

"It's fine, I'm sure that we can help you find¼" looks closer to the clip board, "the¼uh¼engine thingy."

"You mean the Pulse Propulsion Matrix?" David stares over the man's shoulder.

"Yeah, that's it."

David stands back to take in the wreckage in front of him, "Guessing the orientation of the crash¼I would say that it would be some where in the back of the storage area."

"You mean the prisoner bay?"

"Yeah, that's it."

Winor raised the yellow tape over David's head. They step into a long corridor with at least 50 to 75 cages that can hold up to 200 people at one time. David pauses for a second at a door that held a big 11 over it. For that moment, he thought he saw the shadow of his brother, imaginary yellow eyes staring back at him.

Going midway down the hallway, they reach a silver and cyan box, about the size of one of those mini-bars that you find in hotel rooms. While Winor talked to someone on the other side of his walkie-talkie, David brushes his hand on the outside of box. His hand catches a handle, and he yanks it off. A light comes out from the box, and a 14 digits appear on the side of the box. Running his black furred hand over the digits he writes them down on a the engine diagnostics,

"1554986266...uh...Gamma, Omega, Lambda, Alpha." he says as he marks them down. He hears a crunch of metal, and a crane takes off the top of the ship. Winor helps lower down the crane, and the wolf steps back. Sighing, he starts to walk out of the ship when he reaches the cockpit of the ship. He walks towards the broken window and the now rusting pilot's chair. He sits down in the seat and take a small, velvet covered box. Inside the box was a ring. Looking at the ring made him smile, but then sad at himself that he hadn't done anything with it yet.

4 Months ago

May looks out of the window of the cockpit, staring into black space. David looks at her through the doorway, fingering the box in his pocket. He walks up to her and stands next to her, "Why does empty space intrigue you?"

She is startled a little, and looks at him, "I'm sorry captain. I was thinking about home."

"That's okay lieutenant, everyone gets a little homesick every once in a while," They both look out the window, then David kept talking, "For instance," takes out the small box, "my sister wants me to get her a ring from Saturn, and I think that it's way too much if you ask me." He opens the box to reveal a pretty impressive ring.

"That looks really pretty." May takes the box from him, and stares at the ring. David closes the box while it was still in her hand, and takes it back.

"You know," David says while spinning the box in between his clawed fingers, "maybe when we get back to Earth, we can see more of each other. I kind of like this time we've had to spend together."

She smiled at him, "Yeah, maybe...Larry!"

He turns to see her brother Laurence standing in the doorway, "Hey sis, I have to talk to the captain for a sec."

"Oh...okay..." she leaves and shuts the door behind her.

Laurence as a blue colored Phoenix, with a streak of Gold on his head feathers. He looks to David as he puts the ring back into his pocket, "So, you've been trying to pop the question to my sister, eh?"

"Wait...what? NO!" He waves his hands in front of his face as Laurence laughs at his reaction, "it's for my..." he breaths in deep, "My sister wanted one of Saturn's rings. So I was bringing one for her."

He laughs a little, "It's okay, I was here when you said it the first time."

"So, did you have anything to tell me?" becoming serious.

Laurence coughs, "The other mechanics thought that we might need to stop to fix the engine," this instantly caught David's attention, "If you must know-"

"Which I do!"

"...we blew a cylinder 15 minutes ago, and we patched it the best we can. I think that the ship could jump to warp, and reach earth in a record time. If we see another problem though, pull the plug, and we'll row to mars."

"We need the hyper-drive to get out of the asteroid belt, so we've got to at least try to conserve it 'til we need it," he rubbed his furry chin, "we'll stop at Eruopa and get it fixed." Laurence nodded, and left the room.

David sits in the pilot's chair, the soft leather making noises as he sits down, and looks at the approaching planet. He opens back up the velvet box, and he looks at the ring that he bought for his sister. He rubs the almost invisible latch at the back of the inside of the box.

David looks back to the ship, and sighs, "We should have stopped at Eruopa..."

"What's that, David?"

He turns to see May standing in front of him with two cups of coffee, "Oh, nothing. I was just thinking about the days before the crash. I'm..." takes a sip of the coffee she had given him, "trying to see what led up to the explosion."

She sits next to him, "So, what have you found out?"

"That we need to talk about some things."

She leans against him, "Oh, good! I have to talk about something to you too."

2 Days later

David rushes into the house. All the furniture was flipped around, and some was destroyed. He checks the rooms of his teammates; all were empty.

He kicks open his door to see May and Xavier holding guns to each other's head. David pulls his own gun out of sheer instinct. May turns to just look at him. Xavier pushes May away from him, then points the gun from May, to David then back to May, "She was trying to kill me!"

She looks at David, a tear goes down her face, "It's like he's gone crazy or something. I'd never do something like that."

David shifts the gun in between the two, "Damnit!" he closes his eyes and pulls the trigger. He opens his eyes, and drops his gun. He slides to the ground, and cries to himself, "Why, did you make me do this!"

Damn, gone for months then slaps a cliffhanger into the mix. I'm back, and i'll TRY to post once a week, but due to a busy schedule, I've been booked with work for a while. I plan on posting during the holidays, since it's convenient...huh, I feel like an actual writer now. And if you didn't tell, It's going to get Adult really soon!
