[b]Strange Anomalies[/b]
[u]Time: midnight
Location: in the woods[/u]
[i]It was very late as Xexa had been sleeping in her ship that was hidden in the woods. It was calm for the most part as she had just slipoed into a deep sleep. Her ai mida was busy checking the surrounding areas with the ship's as the she worked with was currently charging at the moment so she was using the ship's systems to scan the nearby area as Xexa was asleep.
It was calm until she detected something abnormal on the scans that instantly tripped the ship's sensors setting of the ship's alarm waking Xexa up out a sound sleep.
Little did she know that her ship alarm was a lot louder than she thought as she ran down the hallway in the ship to the front of her ship to see whats tripped them.[/i]
"Mida shut off the damn alarm already."says Xexa
[i]"im on it but there's something being picked up by the sensors you need to check it out."says mida
[/i]
[u]a hour later...[/u]
[i]Xexa and mida were now out in the woods heading towards the site that tripped the ship's sensors. Xexa was heading that way until she heard something and then hears mida whisper.
"We aren't alone."says mida
Xexa paused and place a casual hand on the gun she had with her. She clearly on edge as she waited to see what it was or who.[/i]

In a clearing there was a crashed ship. It clearly was old technology, [O] universe 22nd century maybe. It appeared to be unpiloted as none of the ship was ablaze. Possibly it was jut the heat haze from the burning wood, but it seemed a shimmer was approaching the ship. Conformation when a twig snapped under it.
-
[i]Xexa saw but didn't know what think she hadn't seen this type of ship before. She cautiously approached it.[/i]
-
The shimmer seemed not to notice, a bluish glow faintly appearing on the hull of the ship.
-
[i]Xexa was still watching it with a avid curiousity. Not really knowing what it was or what it was doing. She wanted to say something but wasn't sure what exactly.[/i]
-
There was a slight humming noise, and them a loud clank as a metal plate broke free and stuck to an invisible surface before clattering down to the ground. Now the electronics of the ship was clearly visible, as a small device appeared from thin air and was plugged in as the craft began to beep urgently.
-
[i]Xexa had moved in closer to investigate without giving away her presence to whatever could be there. She wasn't sure who's ship this was so she wasn't taking any chances.[/i]
-
The beeping subsided, and the device was promptly pulled out and vanished once more. The shimmer seemed to move away from the ship, to the begginings of the forest, and a loud click was heard. Suddenly the shimmer decloaked, revealing itself as a man in some sort of battlesuit, grey with hexagonal plating, and a cyan tricorn as the only semblance of a visor. And a rocket protruding from its outstretched arm, facing the ship.
-
[i]she was wondering what he doing and tried creeping a little bit closer. But unlucky for her xexa didn't see the twig under her foot before snapping it. She froze instantly unsure that he heard it. [/i]
-
The tricorned helmet snapped towards her, the rocket sliding down into the suit and being covered up as an angular sidearm, the same colour as the suit, and probably as deadly, was leveled at her head.
-
[i]she slowly raised her arms showing she wasn't a threat to him even though she was still armed. She could feel her haert starting to race in her chest clearly a little frightened.[/i]
-
The man spoke. He had a hard, synthetic edge to his voice and a trace of an Arabic accent. "What are you doing here?"
-
"You set off my ship's alarm sensors."says Xexa [i]she didn't an inch as spoke. But her ai did. "Is true you did indeed."says the ai sitting on her shoulder that was very tiny. [/i]
-
"And you went directly to the site of a possible melting down nuclear reactor?:
-
[i]"sensors only picked up a energy spike perhaps there a glitch in my program"says the ai [/i] "Should we leave then?"asks Xexa
-
It was clear that if one could see behind his helmet, the man smiled. "Most definitely."
-
"Um ok.."says Xexa [i]she didn't sound very convinced at all but she doesn't feel like making him mad by being there.[/i]
-
The man gestured with his gun to the lip of the woods where she had came from.
-
"Yeah yeah im going im going"says Xexa [i]she clearly didn't like guns being pointed at her as she turned and walked away. Her ai was watching him like a hawk as she sat on her shoulder watching him carefully.[/i]
-
The man put the gun away as the rocket once again appeared from his armour, this time lancing toward the crashed ship, reducing it to little more than scrap.
-
[i]this made Xexa just as she heard the boom. She secretly was very suspicious of the man or whatever he was. She kinda glad that she didn't give him the location of her own ship. Even though she knew he would hell of a time breaking into it without her ai. But she had a feeling he would now need that.[/i]
-
In front of her ship, one could almost make out a faint shimmer....
-
[i]Xexa had made back to her ship just in time to see that strange shimmer again. Her ai started to flip out a bit and began speaking. "Warning unknown presence in detected engaging defensive protocols Alpha-b3890... Gama-469F"says her ai Her ship was starting to lock itself down preventing anyone getting in as thick metal plates concealed any means of getting or tampering of its vitals. Xexa drew her weapon she had with her. She approached her ship with caution and care.[/i]
-
The strange shimmer dissapeared for a few seconds, and then xexa heard a strange crackling sound behind her.
-
"What in the-"says xexa [i]she hears the noise behind her and turns to look. She not knowing what it was. But she definitely doesn't like being snuck up on.[/i]
-
She found she was looking down the barrel of a familiar looking angular sidearm. It was bad enough once, but twice in one day was really taking the cake.
