"No kidding, it's freezing here!" Mike folded out the arc welder from his robotic left arm and started using it's heat to warm his other normal hand. "The ship should be here any-"

He notices the portal opening up. "Oh great, not again... Sam, what is the probability of four interdenominational travelers ending up on the same planet in such a short period of time?" After a few seconds Sam, Mike's assistant bot, replies "About 1 in 10^800 given what we know, although I had to assume a few things to do the calculation." Mike looks very confused, "How? How is this possible? This should not be happening, I need to investigate this further."

In the distance we can here the sound of jet engines as a space shuttle-like ship comes into view. The two air breathing engines on it's wings rotate to be vertical as a hatch opens near the front to reveal the front hover engine. The ship pitches up to slow down and enters a hover before beginning to slowly descend on a flat area near us. As it gets really low it begins kicking up a lot of snow and making a lot of noise. The landing gear folds down and once it touches the ground things begin shutting down.

Mike begins walking to the ship. "Come on guys, this thing has a heater in it."

Kuraudo, have you read through everything up until now or do you need us to explain the appearance of our characters and all that stuff?

Guinan hat gotten down from the bird by now and was doing jumping jacks and rubbing her hands together. She nodded. "Q-q s-sent me h-here," she got out. Then she smiled, an idea coming to her. She fumbled for the button on one of her pokeballs. It took a moment, but it finally expanded and Guinan threw it. Out popped Foxy the Fennekin, blowing hot air as usual. He stood at a distance so as not to burn anyone, but some of the heat reached the group. The bit of warmth seemed to make Guinan's teeth chatter harder, however.

Calem hurried after Mike with Laura firmly latched onto his arm, hiding her face from the wind, which felt like a thousand knives being thrown in her face. Anna was still following them around, with her ribbions wrapped around Laura's leg. She felt just as cold, since it was smack dab in the middle of July, and she didn't have her winter fur.

Laura opened her eyes tentatively, sort of nervous as to what she might see. "Whoah..." She gasped, dropping her boyfriend's arm. Everything looked so cool!

(OOC: Oops, I missed Mike's post. Also, did Mike answer her question about the methane garbage dump?)

Guinan looked back at the cloked figure and beckoned for her to follow the group. Then, she grabbed the three pokeballs and started running, Foxy behind her.

Though Guinan was still quite cold, she took a moment to take in the ship before following Mike inside. She thought of it as a shuttle, as it had room for six people. She noticed its lack of weaponry and understood why the station could bare to let it go. "Do your people use these when they travel through the wormholes often?" she asked Mike as her shivering subsided some, thanks to her exercise and the heat of the ship.

The ship was rather long and thin and the wings were swept back kind of like those of a space shuttle, it was mostly white with a black heat shield on the bottom. Instead of a tail fin there were two wiglets sticking up from the end of each wing. The back of the fuselage had a rocket engine on it and each wing has an air breathing engine, the air breathing engines appear to be embedded into the wing with half of the intake on top of the wing and half of the intake below it, and when they angle down for VTOL mode the joint is near the back which leaves large holes in the wings. The front VTOL engine is just behind the crew area which is concealed by hatches below and above it.

Mike opens the door and lets everyone enter. Once the door shuts he activates a few systems on the ship causing the heater and the lights to come on, although the inside of the ship is still warm from when the ship was flying. Inside there are two pilot seats at the front and four passenger seats that each have a window. There is plenty of leg room and the aisle between the seats is rather wide, but it still feels a bit cramped with the low ceiling and so many people. There are a few hatches on the floor that lead to the storage area under the crew area and towards the back of the ship there is a door which leads to the extendable docking port. The cockpit has a few switches and buttons but it's mostly displays. It also has a yolk and pedals like an aircraft with the addition of a joystick on each arm rest.

Mike sits down at the left pilot seat, and the right pilot seat is occupied by a humanoid robot. "No, methane from garbage won't work. I could filter out pure methane from that though if I had some way to cool it down to negative 161 degrees Celsius because then the methane would condense into liquid form and be pumped right into the fuel tank. This ship still has enough fuel to fly about another hundred kilometers, so we don't necessarily need to bring the fuel here." He takes the robot and stores it in the cargo compartment under us. "Ooh, they left me a few goodies down here!" Mike exclaims, "A kilogram of gold, the two other tool sets for my prosthetic arm, and a small 3D printer with a few kilograms of printing material. Not bad." He comes back up form the cargo compartment and closes the hatch behind him.

Is Trevs still with us? If so then there are 7 people in a ship with 6 seats assuming Kuraudo's character followed us.

(No, he's not. I forgot to get him to say bye, but lets just assume he saw a random Pidove in an alley and decided to go catch it. )

"Everything looks so cool!" Laura cheered. Calem seemed just as amazed.

"I've seen many interesting ships, but this is one of the most intriguing." Enye commented, gazing about her. "There isn't really anything like this in the Federation, or in my home world."

Lilli stepped aboard the spaceship, chattering as they were just wearing shorts.
"I-it's so c-cold."

Their eyes went wide when they saw the interior though, and their face lit up with excitement.
"Whoa! This looks like something Teach would build!"

They looked around at the interior.

"WAH! Is that a robot?" They ran up to the cockpit and looked back at Mike with the biggest grin. "Can I shake his hand?"

Mike started to drag the robot away.
"Aww, man."

As Mike came up from the cargo hatch, their curiosity was re-alighted.
"You can print things in 3-D? How do you do that?"







They turned with curiosity to the person behind them. "What's your world like?"

Enye suddenly grinned mischievously at the question, and went into a long winded explanation of how her world was one of the weirdest magical worlds that she knew of. As if to prove the point, she reached into her cloak and pulled out a teapot and a collection of teacups. "Who wants tea warm up?" She asked brightly.

(That's awesome! Lilli's a wizard as well, though for {spoilers } reasons they've never studied magic.)

"I do!" Lilli grinned.
They snapped their fingers and appeared in the seat beside Enye. "Would you happen to have camomile?'

"I do, actually." Enye reached inside her cloak again and pulled out a bundle of tea bags. She passed them around and then selected one for herself. "I like Earl Grey best." She added, and dipped her cup as if toasting everyone.

[Shall we bring Q back so Enye and Guinan can mess up his plans?]

(I think that would be cool! I don't know how you would incorporate that into the story, but I think you should. Lilli has yet to figure it out, but Q is responsible for them being there as well.)

Noticing what Enye did, Lilli cleared their throat rather loudly. "ER-HEM! The Great Lilli would like to speak!"
They glanced around in a rather serious manner. "I would like to make a toast." they said.

It took a moment for people to quiet down, but as soon as they did, Lilli tilted their cup in Enye's direction. "To the lady who made us tea!"

Mike listens to everyone saying how cool the ship is. "What, this bucket? This thing doesn't even have Hyperion engines which are the standard for interplanetary propulsion where I'm from and it can't go any further then low orbit without refueling in space." Then again, this is probably more advanced then some of them have seen.

In response to Lilli's question about the 3D printer he dug around in the cargo compartment and pulled out a white cube with a control pannel on the front and a hatch on one side. "This is a 3D printer, I can use it to make anything I want as long as it's made out of steel. It lays down multiple layers to build up the object." He puts it back. "This ship was probably mostly built by 3D printers, likely in space too assuming it was created some time in the last 20 years."

When Euye provides tea for everyone he takes his. "Thanks. Your universe definitely seems more technologically advanced then mine. The star system I'm from is at war with it's self and I came here from the Nexus wormhole station which opened a wormhole to this planet, although the station is in some trouble right now with a Heiwa Federation fleet attacking it."

"Technologically advanced?" Enye repeats in great amusement. "No, in my world, no one has technology, and the only technological world I've ever been in is whatever world Q and Guinan come from. That's why I find this ship so fascinating. Speaking of which, do you have replicators or something similar here?"

"Well, I do have the 3D printer if that's what you mean." replies Mike.

A fighter was chasing a missile near Nexus Station, the missile flew like a fighter so a fighter ship from one of the carriers in the attacking fleet started perusing it. Suddenly the missile turns around and hits the fighter, destroying it. Mason is watching the action through a window in the control room. "Yes! It's working! Let's just hope that they don't figure out our tactic too soon." After that happens a few more times the enemy fighters catch on and stop perusing the missiles. Mason continues trying to come up with some idea for how to prolong the invasion until the allied fleet arrives.

The carriers deploy siege ships full of bots designed for invading the interior of ships and stations, and most of them make it to the station. They attach onto the inner rim of the outer ring and cut holes in the hull through which the bots enter the station. In the station similar bots are deployed form the armory to defend and fire fights break out throughout the station.

Guinan accepted the tea gratefully, warming her hands on the cup and warming her face with her hands. She sat down in one of the seats.

'The captain of the Enterprise, his favorite tea is Earl Grey. I'm a member of the Enterprise crew,' Guinan said, a fond smile crossing her face as she mentioned her captain. The magic didn't surprise her quite so much anymore, though she had no idea how it worked. She grinned at Lily's toast and sipped thoughtfully.

A loud, scornful male voice boomed in from nowhere, making Guinan jump. 'What are you all doing, having a tea party aboard this dreadful old shuttle and wishing you were aboard the Enterprise? I thought you all had battles to fight!'
