I finally did it. I put on the suit and went for a run.
Man, was it invigorating. At first I was doing about 96 kilometers an hour. I got on the outside of Millennium City and decided to try to put on the speed.
OMG!!!!! One second I was just east of Millennium City, and the next, I was in Greenland, well, I think it was Greenland. It was cold, and in the north. Once I figured out the time, I knew it had to be Greenland.
I slide to a stop, and smash into the side of a glacier, or mountain, or something. Good thing I was slowing down, otherwise that would have really hurt.
I turn to the side, and there is this woman jumping at me, I step slightly to the side and she lands. She asks me who I am. I quickly think to my self, << Good questions lady... Uh, who am I. Well, I kinda rocketed over here... I'm, little... Ok... >>
I stumble over my my words, and eventually I get it out, "I'm Rocket, uh, Li'l Rocket"
She tells me to move over to the side of the mountain. I comply.
I still don't know who these people are, but, I think they are after the same thing I am in the long run. Maybe they are what passes for the good guys now.
There was this one who was all dark and starry, just that, nothing but a shadow. She, at least I think it's a she, flies over to the tower and puts something on it, I think. The others begin moving around the mountain, so I follow suit.
There is some sort of research station around the mountain. The other four make their way that way. The crazy lady, lands on the top of the control tower. The shadow one flies farther around, I can see her up in the air. I'm not sure where the other two go.
I go a ahead and move on around the side of the buildings. What in the world is that! It looks like a UFO. Big, round flying disk. I thought that was just made up stuff, but I still wanted to believe in it.
The Shadow lady drops down towards two, apparent research scientist. They start running back towards the building. I continue on towards the space craft.
One of the others puts something in front of all the doors of the building. The rest of us make our way to the UFO. At least once we get up here, they start talking out loud. The starry shadow woman is called Ghost.
The crazy lady goes by Wild Thing. Maybe not too crazy, but a bit scary.
After a few minutes, Ghost begins saying things, it seems a bit odd at first, then I realize that she is reading the script on the door panel. I begin to listen closer, and thinking, and it starts to make sense, well, as much sense as you can make from single words.
I eventually hear about an override, I don't think I could break into their system very easy, it is alien after all. I just mash the override command when Ghost points it out.
Ok, maybe that was NOT a good choice.... Lights and sirens blazing, but the door isn't opening.
Suddenly, everything stops, and the doors begin to open. The outer door opens, and inside is a glowing field. We all stand around for a moment. I make a comment about can they breath our air, or can we breath theirs. No one seems to listen. I guess they have worked together for long enough to know what they can do.
I know that I can't breath anything but oxygen. I think maybe I need to work on that.
The one called Nemesis, another female, heck, they were all females, just walks through the field like it was nothing. Those aliens are really alien.. I have no other way to describe it. They seem to be trilateral, at least on the upper part of their body.
Their arms, tentacles, what ever wave about, it seems to be in a pattern, but I haven't gotten it yet. It seems that maybe Rampage might have figured it out. I know Ghost has figured out their 'written' language.
Eventually, I hear the others talk about getting supplies and moving them to the ship. I offer to run and get them. I think I can recreate the pattern that got me here. Now that I've done it once, I should be a bit better at controlling it.
They decide that the best thing to do is wait. Ghost and I go and start moving snow. I tell you what, I'm glad that I'm wearing gloves, but I'm getting very hungry. I move to over-watch, while the others work on the ship.
I know I shouldn't, but I need to eat. I pop back down to the US, grab some food real quick. Leave some money on the counter, and head back. I'm not gone for more than 2 or three seconds. I hope I wasn't seen, but I had to eat.
About 12 hours later, the plane that they showed up in returns, with another guy with runes all over his body. I think they call him Runeforce. I pick up some of the smaller items, and start carrying them over to the ship. I let the others who can breath in there move it in.
I quickly search the plane while no one is there and see if I can find some food. There is a voice, "May I help you?" I look around quickly. No one is there. "Uh, I'm sorry, but, uh, I'm called Li'l Rocket, and I need something to eat, please."
He pauses, "Uh, I'm sorry, but if I don't eat soon, I'm going to run out of energy." There is a pause, and a compartment opens. There is some snacks there, "Uh, do any of the others eat? If so, I'll take some to them. I'm sure that they are hungry too."
He takes the snacks, and while he is waiting, he begins to eat the snacks that was there. He takes some food and drinks to the others.
After another 12 hours, the ship begins to rise and shake as it begins to pull out of the snow it had gotten stuck in, and begins to fly backwards, in the apparent same path that it crashed into. Suddenly, it disappears.
Well, that was interesting, weird but interesting. They give me a communicator, and warn me not to use it, without being in a secure location. I take the communicator, put it in my belt, and make sure that it is secure.
"Ok. It was interesting. I hope to hear from you all again in the future. If you ever need a Li'l Rocket", he giggles slightly, "just give me a call. You have my number." He pats the communicator that he put in his belt.
