Cygnus x-1

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

Howl sighed and turned to Kitt, "Yes, you could stay that. Roller Coasters are giant metal contraptions that flip, twist, spiral and...barrel roll at times. They are supposed to induce a feeling of adrenaline. They are, in my opinion, an acquired taste. Not one that I have, nor do I want to have it. Now, we've got five minutes before landing, anything you need before we set out?"

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt's stomach growled hungrily as Howl spoke, he blushed slightly, then looked up to Howl...

"you have food? hunting can take a while, especially in the ice fields... if you had anything at all it would be very helpfull..."

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

"Why yes, we do have an assortment of foods on here. But they could taste bad considering your tongue would be made for the food found on your planet." He walked over to a cabinet and found a box with ramen noodles written on it. "Would you like to try these?" Then he pulled out another package that had barbecue pork on it. "This one, the "Ramen Noodles" are made from Wheat, a substance grown on Earth that support's most life there. Or the Barbecue Pork, which is from an animal in Earth that is killed and made into...well, there are many variations of how it can be cooked, but this is what we have."

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt blinked twice, watching the packets in Howls hands with deep curiosity....

"uh.... i could try both of these... ray-maaan nood-els... and... pork?"

he smirked, still watching the packets like a kitten watching a ball of string...

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

"Hmmm...alright. Why not?" He unwrapped both the packages and placed them inside a microwave, which he set for 10 seconds. When it was done, he pulled out a plate with a steaming hot bowl of ramen noodles and set it down on a table. Then came the pork, covered in barbecue sauce and cooked perfectly. "Do you need a fork, knife or spoon, unless of course you have your own means of eating this."

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt shrugged, taking the bowl in both paws and raised it to his mouth, gulping down the contents with a very satisfied sound. After he had finished the noodles with much slurping and mewls of enjoyment he looked up at Howl...

"these Ray-men-nood-aals are VERY good"

he then turned to the Pork, gulping it down with equal glee, though the barbacue sauce provided some mild entertainment when he first tried it and gave a face mixed with disgust and confusion...

"Pork is nice too... though the sauce i am not so fond of..."

he purred happily, content with the meal.. "normally i live what you call.. nomadic lifestyle?... so food we do not often get in large quantities... i am very thankfull for giving me this, and i must say i enjoyed it very much..."

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

"Your welcome Kitt. I am willing to give food to anyone who needs it." He put all the trash left from the meal and put it in the garbage. "We'll be eating off of meals like this until we run out and have to hunt, so be ready to show us new techniques."

[Self-sain]

"How much further" sain said as he out his paw over his face. Siya ran up to him holding a small pistol "look brother I'm like you she threw a small plate up and raised the gun to fire at it "wo hold it kido" sain says as he pushes he gun down and picking her up "we don't fire inside the ship except in the firing range" he said as he sat back down "humf" she groaned as she stuck her lip out

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt nodded, wiping his mouth with the back of one paw...

"hunting is hard on ice fields.... but there are certain ways of getting easy meal if you know how... water too..."

he went quiet, running a paw over the crystal pendant that nestled in the white fur of his chest, pushing a few strands of hair out of his eyes he looked up at the tall wolf...

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

"Good." The intercom came on, "Prepare to land!" "Alright, Kitt. Grab you stuff, we're heading out!"

Howl thought to himself, "Finally...I just hope father is still alive..."

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt raised an eyebrow when Howl told him to grab his stuff....

"what stuff would this be? all i need is my knife, and my witts"

he tapped the side of his head, smirking.... though obviously pleased that the journey in the ship was about to end....

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

Howl chuckled and patted Kitt on the head. "Well, let's hope your wits will guide us through this desolate area."

The ship landed a small shock-wave ran through the ship and the doors opened. All the mercs piled out first, securing the area around the ship and signaling Howl to come out. "Alright, let's go." Howl slowly stepped down from the ship, to see a vale of thick white winter snow blocking his view, and winds causing a reduced amount of hearing. "So, do these snow storms last a long time?"

[KittKat chunky~]

"Storms?!"

Kitt laughed, stretching and taking in a deep breath of the cold air, his fur ruffling up to trap air and therefore heat...

"This is what it is like almost all the time friend! if there was a  big snow storm... we would know about it!"

Ears perked up and bright ice blue eyes searching Kitt had none of the problems howl or the mercs would have, reduced hearing was not so much a problem, his eye sight was perfect for the snow conditions, and his thick winter fur would keep him warm enough....

"though... i reckon this will die down soon enough, these outbreaks of wind and snow are punctuated by periods of absolute clear air, this is when it is coldest, and you are most likely to die as temperature drops!

Kitt was raising his voice to make sure Howl could hear, after all he did not have hearing adapted for muffling snow....

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

"Well, then we should get moving!" He turned to the mercenaries. "ALRIGHT! WE'RE MOVING OUT! STAY CLOSE TO KITT AND ME, ALSO, NOTIFY ME IF THERE IS TROUBLE WITH OTHER MEN! DO NOT SHOOT AT SOMETHING UNLESS IT IS ATTACKING US! GOT IT?!" The mercenaries nodded. "Ok, Kitt, you lead the way. Here is a GPS that shows where we need to go, the big yellow thing is the pod crash."

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt took the GPS, turning it over a few times before looking from the screen to the ice fields ahead of them.... he looked up at Howl and then nodded, setting off...
"Keep to these rifts of ice! if you walk through the large snow drifts some of them can be deeper than even you!"
With that he set off, his diminutive form creating little wind resistance, and with his camouflaged snow it was rather hard to discern him from the rest of the snow and ice... Kitt lead the group along a large ridge of ice that was raised above the drifts of snow that continuosly moved and undulated like a sea...
