The Vinginis is cought by a camera as it passes by it the huge ship shecks the camera abit as the ship passes close to it. The Vinginis was heading to old Earth to figure out a plain to prove he wasn't the one they were after. The huge ship enters old Earth's orbit the planet looked like it would have 1,000 years ago when man left it. The Vinginis was the first ship in hunderds of years to orbit around old Earth. no one knew that the Vinginis was followed by a cloaked ship. That cloaked ship was from the Federation Republic sent to capture them and bring them back to their home world. The ship decloaks and hails them " give it up Vinginis you can not get away " he says to them. Corog looks over at the com as one of his crew members answered" We are not the gilty ones you look for leave us be we almost found the gilty ones" she says to them. " likely story i'm not in the mood for you crap just give up" he says to them. " No we can not i'm sorry" she says and cutes off coms. " Ok you want to play hard to get huh we'll see about that" he says to him self. " Ok arm all weapons and raise sheilds and fire when ready. " he says to his crew. The Federation Republic ship zooms in and fires on the Vinginis and swoops around to take another shot at hem. The crew on the Vinginis run to arm the weapons and return fire. The two ships fight it out for hours be for the Vinginis subcomes to its damages and began a decaying orbit down into Old Earth's atmuspher. The huge ship looks like a fire ball as it streaks through the sky and slamming into the ground on the northern himesphire around Philadelphia PA. the ship slid and stopped right dead center of center city buildings could still be made out, as the crew made their way out of the ship and looked around. Corog activates the destress becon hopefully some one could get to them be for the Federation Republic did. " Ok, we have to find food shelter and water she lets get looking" he says to his remeaning crew. They spread out through center city as they looked for food.

It had been ten years... Ten years of research, of trials, of hard work. It had been ten years since the small fair skined girl had begun searching for Old Earth. Snow, a bounty hunter growing in fame through out known space had found out her younger sister who knew not of her older sisters existance, had contracted an ancient earth virii.
It was with great reluctance that Snow had accepted her parents request to find a cure. Needless to say though... The old virii was none other than the common cold and it had passed in a few days. Still though the thought of finding old earth had begun to intrigue the girl as she had heard rummors of it from old wise men. Her former partner would have jumped at the chance to find old earth, so she thought to herself and mentally coerced her self into finding old earth with or without a goal in mind...
A faint alarm awakens Snow who was sleeping soundly in her cabin aboard the "Silent Virtue", a research ship owned and opperated by Eon. She had in a test of wills argued with the significance of finding old earth with the Supreme Commander of Eon in order for him to lend her a ship and a crew.
Snow while famous... Was also famously poor... Despite her Families vast wealth not owning anything more than the things she carries. She had banked on Xavior Keyes insatiable thrist for knowledge and understanding in order to get as much as she could for travel, and was plesantly rewarded when she saw that Xavior had granted her the usage of a moddified old Halcyon class battle cruiser.
Absently she stumbles off her bed and heads towards the bridge... Being pretty much only a researcher on the ship and nothing more, she pauses and sighs and turns around and heads back towards her room when a rough hand snatches her up from behind.
The hand belonged to the rough and tumble ace fighter pilot, Sark Handow who had taken a shine to Snow. Sark speaks up in his gruff voice as he drags the flailing Snow towards the hangers where his Longsword was docked, " 'ell lass this is our stop. The Cap'n can see Ol' Eart' up ahe'd. We'r to go on fr'm 'ere and 'ed down. The Cap'n wants to keep the ship in the astroid belt f'er saftey. 'sides were detecting some s'rt of distress signal fr'm down there..."
Snow raises an eyebrow at this information, "A distress signal...?" She murmers. Can't believing someone had beaten her to old earth let alone what the purpose the signal must before and how old it is.

The Crew of the Vinginis come to the twin liberty towers witch were not to far from city hall they enter one of the towers as seen a robot zip by them. The crew look at eatch other and manage to stop a robot " where are we ?" Corag asks. The robot looks at him and tilts its head " orders not under stood please repet" he says to him. The robot was only programmed to repair what needed to be fixxed and not programmed to interact with people. Corag sighs lets it go it walks off to fix a light the was flickering. " we need to find out where we are " Corag says to his scince officer. She looks around them pulls out a note pad she look through the pad to see if she could find any thing to help them. She finds some thing and look at Corag " it appear we are on old Earth in the northern amispher. " she says to him scrolling through the pad. " it also appear we are in a city called Philadelphia " she says to him. Corag nods " ok see if we can locate some food" he says to her. They had looked for food ealier but, didn't find any as of yet. " there appears to be a river located at the boders of this land and the next" she says to him. The land that she was talking about was what use to be Pennsyvania and New Jeresy and the River was once known as the delawere River. " Ok, lets head out " he says to them. They head out into the city it was quite no cars or any thing else to make noise. They walk down tawords the river and acoss tracks that were use by trains when humans use to live there they even seen on of the gaint locomotives that once pulled and pushed rail cars to where they needed to go. They look at the gaint Locomotive they never seen such a thing, even know they have things that ran on rails and were curius about it. They didn't stay long do to hunger and went to the river they had to make fishing rods and other items to catch they fish from the river. After a few hours they cought enough fish to feed the crew. They leave the river area passing some of the rail cars thet once hald it all for humans but, now rusted there where they sat. They make to a shipping compeny located near the river and not to far from the once popaler foot ball and base ball feilds. They go in and set up for the night.

It didn't take long for the Longsword to make it from the Asteroid Belt all the way to the 3rd planet in the old forgotten Sol System, Earth.
The Longsword flew downwards through the atmosphere towards what according to sensors was once a major metropolis... New York City. It didn't take long though to find a flooded, frozen, wasteland of debry that was once a city where the Metropolis should have stood. A reminder of World War Terminus. The final war of old Earth.
It was snowing heavily and the glaciers could be seen nearby, for an Ice Age was upon the earth, many regions trapped in the thick forboading glaciers that errode away signs of humanity...
Snow absently smiled as Sark brought the Longsword down on the outskirts of what remaind of the Bronx, she liked the cold for it reminded her of her home.
Sark had purposely brought them down at this spot as it was near the distress beacon, but not to close to attract attention as well as to scout ot the remains of one of Earth's former most bustling Metropolis in the Western Hemosphere...
Snow watches as night encrouches and knows that... Atleast for tonight. She was sleeping on the ship.

Corag couldn't sleep knowing the the Federation Republic was in orbit and waiting for their moment to come down to get them. Little did Corag and his remaining crew know the Federation Republic ship had left them to die down on the planet's surface, thinking that no one would receive the distress beacon due to no one ever came close to this old system. Corag stood up Begin to walk around the old packing plant he looks at the old machines that use to pack all sorts of things. Corag's first officer Typroda watches him as he walked around and looked at the stuff. She sighs knowing that if they couldn't get off this planet they might just have to start trying to make the lest of this world. Seri the science officer looks at the pad she had in her hands she sees that the ice had not reached this area yet but, given about twenty or so years it would cover this place completely. The wind was lightly blowing and the temperature was starting to fall it was almost at the freezing point. They knew if that could get heat soon they may not survive their first night. The place even know it was still standing and the lights worked had no heater it had rusted away longer ago and nothing was left of it. The crew that was awake still started looking for thing to burn so they could keep warm. Corag too helped in this search and after a while they had enough to last them the night. Morning had come and the sun was shining the remaining crew of the Vinginis started to wake up it was ten out so they didn't leave the place right away. hours had passed and it was about 11 O'clock in the morning the temperature had rose to about twenty degrees now. They decide they would have to move on in order to survive this harsh place. They start leaving the old packing factory and head tawords the ship again to gather up what they could. They walk passed the stadiums the stadiums were barley standing and the Fields were filled with grass witch was dead at the moment do to it being so cold. They walk for hours be for reaching their ship again. They go in and pack up what they can. Corag even takes his huge gun he hoped he would never have to use. They leave the ship as sparks rained down and the lights still were flickering. It was now the after noon and the temperature didn't move much it was still around twenty digress. They leave the city witch was still in ok shape do to the robots but, out side the main city the building where left to rot and fall the same went for the cars,trucks and buses and other means of transportion, every thing in the city was ok but, just like the buildings out side the city they too were left to the elements. The find their way to Delaware Avenue and make their way up the road. They look around seeing old ships that have sunk were they were docked and docks half collapsed from years of not being worked on. They come across the interstate witch was interstate 95 witch had crumbled over the years, and now the road that was up above now lay flat on the ground and was almost unrealizable. They find there way to and ware house witch was amazingly still standing. They go in and rest for a bit and start a fire to warm up.

As the new day dawns, Snow bids Sark farewell as he ws to return to the Silent Virtue and remain on standby. A light powder of snow falls on the ruins of New York as Snow gazes out at the remains of the Statue of Liberty which was on the verge of being swallowed by the edge of the seemingly endless glaciers that cover the whole northern horrizon.
Snow pulls out a cigarette and lights it as she turns away, not bothering to watch Sark's ship vanish out of sight, for there was no time to second guess her choice. She was here on Old Earth for a reason. She trudges on through the banks of snow as she heads out of the ruins. She in the depths of her psyche wondered how living on Old Earth may have been like, knowing that this was a depressing chain of thoughts she focused ahead on the empty whiteness that lay ahead.
Minutes felt like hours, hours like days... She continued making her way south. One hand on her favored sword, the other in her pocket as she hums a tune from her childhood as she headed towards a large crater.
She nearly falls into it and catches herself, she pauses looking someone clueless. Sure that a city should have been here. She pulls out her datamap and clicks the spot where she is at. She gasps then as it dawns on her where she is...
[Begin Map Data] Washington D.C. Terminated in World War Terminus Former Capital of the Imperial American Alliance, Formerly the United States of America, Canada, and Mexico. [End Map Data]
Snow lowers her head in silent prayer and remains that way for a moment before turning away and heading around the large flooded ice filled crater.
She continued trudging as she walked along. The ice thinning into just mounds of snow. Absently she wondered if any life still existed on Old Earth as she hadn't seen any signs of it since she began her journy. She was glad that she was faster than normal humans as she realized she still had a long way to go.
Hours later she comes across an abandoned military base which still showed that it was under Radiation Lockdown... The state it was probably left in... Sealing who ever was inside to die alone and issolated, another grissly reminder of World War Terminus.
She turned away and pulled out a new cigarette and lit it, as the old one had gone out and been tucked into a container to store used cigarettes ages ago.
Night began to fall an hour later as she knew not where she was, but far in the distance she could see rising smoke... Obviously she was atleast another day or two from the downed starship that they had detected.
She holed her self up in a cave and set about making a pot of coffee as well as heating up a survival ration. In moments the small cave she had located filled up with warmth as she sat as far away from the entrance as possible, sword in hand. She wasn't going to take any chances...
After her small meal and her coffee, she drifted off into a light stassis sleep. Something people of her planet were capable of.

The remaining crew of the Vinginis still had no way of knowing if any one was down on the surface or if they left them for dead. They didn't know that a small craft infact landed and dropped some one off who was about a day or two away. They sleep in the ware house as the temmature drops to a bone chilling minus twenwty and the crew shivered in their sleep. Dawn showed no sun shine this morning it was cloudy and it had begun to snow but, the snow wasn't that bad yet. They stay in the ware house most of the day witch to their luck wasn't to far away from the Delaware river so some of them decide to go fishing witch seem to be the only living things around. After a few hours of fishing the once again managed to catch enough for every one. By the time they were done fishing and made it back to the ware house the snow was blowing around like it was dust. The wind was now blowing at 25 MPH and gusting to over 50 as they ate their food. The old ware house creecked and groaned as the wind blew they knew it was only a matter of time be for the place came down. " Ok crew we need to move out again sadly this place won't last us another night." Corag says to the crew. Seri looks at her read outs and confirms Corag's asumions about the place. They leave out of the old ware house just in time as it collapses from the gusty winds. They walk off cold but, at least they weren't hungery. They walk past the old collapsed interstate 95 as they can see cars and other stuff littered the old decaded high way, they sigh at the sight but, move on. The snow had stopped as night began to fall once more be was all ready at zero degrees out and it was only going to get worst. The winds were still gusting to over 50 MPH as they find another ware house to stay in for the night. They enter the building it was in little bit better shape then the last one but, if the winds got worste it was most likely to fall as well. They pick up what they can to make a fire to keep warm. Once the fire was started the huddled around the fire as the winds began to finally die down and the clouds began to clear out. The next morning looked promising as the sun rose up and shined in through the windows even know most were broken out. Tyroda was the first to wake up as the sun shined in her eyes. She looks around seeing most of the crew was begining to wake up. Corag finally wakes up as he looks around. He then looks at Tyroda and sighs knowing they was have to search once more for their food. " Ok This is getting annoying i'm tired of hunting for food" one of the crew wines. Tyroda rolls her eyes " whining about isn't going to help any thing. " she says to him. The crew member just sighs knowing she was right. Corag walks out side the tempature had rose a bit it was now about fifteen out. Tyroda follows him out side as they both look over what remained of Philadelphia. They both knew they couldn't make it with out every ones help. Corag heads in " Ok crew we are going to move to a better place. Seri scan this area for a better place to live. " he says to them. Seri nods as she scans the are and finds another ware house but, this ware house was in good shape even know it was left to rot. " Sir i have found another ware house not to far its in a good stable place and it its self is in good shape" she says with a smile. " good to hear ok gather up what you can and lets move out" he says to them. " And if you find any thing along the way that can help us they pick it up and take it if you can" he adds. They all nod know this would be their only chance for a long time to get it right. The crew head out after once again packing their stuff. They walk for about two miles befor they get to the ware house and along the way the pick upfire wood and other thing they would need to servive. They set up camp for the last time for a while and set up what they can and get they equipment set up as well so they wouldn't be taken by perprise if the federation or any one else came any where near they place it was set up to go off at around four miles to give them time to get up and out.

Snow drinks a nice warm pot of coffee from her supplies as she wakes up in the morning, in her small sheltered cave while she looks over her datamap. Realizing she was seriously lost if she didn't keep looking at it. Having walked right past the wrecked ship that she and Sark and detected earlier and had gone farther south.
She packs her things and heads out, as she dashes lightly and excedingly fast across the pale snow, steping with incredible lightness as to not sink with each step. Something she hadn't done the first day as she had just walked really Walrus fast.
It took far less time than Snow had imagined to reach the wrecked ship and pauses cautiously nearby it as she observes the wreck, just incase something went wrong with the wreck or the crew had resorted to canabalism and thought she looked tasty.
After observing it for awhile, Snow moves down and into the wreck snatching what supplies she could that seemed surviceable and useable. After all, why look a gift horse in the mouth, she thought as she cautiously picked her way through the wreck.
Eventually Snow leaves the ship and pauses as she surveys the Old Earth city of Philadelphia. It was quite different from the ruins of New York or the crater of Washington DC. Which made an interesting contrast. Absently she wondered how other Earth cities faired.
She begins to walk away from the ship when it dawns on her, the ship crashed just recently... It was obvious some of the crew survived. Yet there was no sign of them anywhere...
She takes out her thermal imager and remotely connects to the long range sensors of the Silent Virtue and zooms in on the city. She scans about the buildings detecting a few formerly warm locations that although now cold, still showed traces of lingering temperature change.
She continued her scan when she finally located a collection of living beings not to far from where she was. She tucks the thermal imager away and lights a cigarette and begins walking their way. Totally unfazed by the cold temperatures, being that her kind was used to -1000 degrees temperatures and she could withstand temperatures above and beyond 500 degrees. One of the reasons she was always dressed warmly like it was winter, where ever she goes.
She walked calmly smoking her cigarette, being a small and petite young looking female child as typical of her age in her race of humanoids, as she headed towards the living people. Wondering what lays in store for her, and hopefully. They might have more details of Old Earth for her.

Corag and his crew went about their business and begun to eat some of their rashions they got from the ship. Corag and his crew didn't know they were found by snow until she got close enough to trip the amlarm. They quickly get to their feet as Corag grabs his huge gun and heads out with some of his crew. Corag looks around to see if he could find any one he does a small girl. Corag blinks and slowers his gun as he begins to walk over to her. " Becareful Corag she might be a trip" one of the crew says. He nods and stops about 20 Feet away from her " Who are you ?" he asks her not wanting to get any closer as he holds his large gun next to him. Tyroda walks up next to him with her gun it too was large but, this looked more like a shot gun then a machine gun Corag had. The remaining crew stay back in case she was to open fire on them at least they would have more of a chance to protech them selfs. The wind blew their hair as they face off with Snow. They all hoped they didn't have to fire on her but, they didn't want to chance it neither.
OOC: sorry its sort.

Snow comes to a halt and stares up with the look of a scared child, something she can easily do seeing as she was in all forms and appearance a human child. Albiet her scars give hint to witnessing some bad things. She removes the cigarette from her mouth and hold up her hands revealing she has no guns.
"I'm Snow.", she says softly as she then motions towards her four different blades. "I only have these for weapons" She returns her lit cigarette to her mouth and stares at them in expectant curiousity. Not for one moment revealing she has her guard up and is willing to kill everyone of them if they were to attempt to harm her.
She pauses for a moment then speaks as she motions to the still smouldering wreck of a starship, "Your from that ship aren't you...?"

Tyroda lowers her weapon as corag motions to his crew to stand down seeing she was scared and appeared to only have blades. " I'm sorry but, we can't be to laid back here" he says to her. I'm Corag and this is my first officer Tyroda." he says to her " Its nice to meet you Snow" he adds. Corag was to Leary of this girl and kept a watchful eye one her. Tyroda walks up to her and looks down at her as Tyroda stood about nine foot compared to Snow's small size. Tyroda nods as Snow asked if they were from the downed ship " Yes our ship crashed here a few days ago " she says to her. " We've been trying to make do with what we got but, its hard." she adds. The crew had no idea about Old Earth or about what happened here, they only new it was a desolate place. " Are you from this world ?" she asks her seeing she looked human. They didn't think about a first when they seen her smoking but, after a few minutes Tyroda looks at the Cigertte " Aren't you a little to young to be smoking?" Tyroda asks. Tyroda didn't have childern of her own but, her motherly instinks take over a bit feeling she needed to watch over her for some reson.

Snow titls her head to the side and looks a little spacy as she thinks for a moment. "This world... No, maybe genetically I might be decended from former inhabitants. But no... I wasn't born here.", she had hesitated because she didn't really want to tell them she was off world for they may attempt to kill her to get at her 'ship' which she didn't have but she hated to tell such a lie when they looked desperate. Pausing she looks at her cigarette and back, "I suppose I shouldn't smoke... But it's a habbit I picked up from the one man who ment the most to me...", she says quietly as she blows some smoke from it remembering her mentor. The one who gave her the alias Snow, for her being light and small, pale and pretty, yet cold and with a singular purpose in life. That could vanish at any moment if the conditions change.
She glances around the area before continueing speaking, "Anyways... I may not be from this planet naturally, but it's not all that different from where I'm from. Plus I have a map..." She sits down, really showing her bare legs and the lack of showing any sign of being cold, she almost looked rather darn comfortable...

Tyroda and Corag both list to snow as she spoke and explained the reason for her smoking. " So if your not from here then here are you from? " Corag asks. " we are from worga lV " he states Corage hoped she could get them off the planet. Corage too had a map of the planet " we too have a map of this planet" he says to her. " Ok we have to move on or we'll freeze out projections for tonights wether isn't good" He says as he looks about the area. He was a bit at a wonder why she wasn't cold but, did realize she said this place was like her own world so it was likely this was summer to her. " Maybe after tonight we can explore this planet little by little. " Tyroda says as she looks at Corage. " yeah maybe we can since i doesn't look like we can get off this planet." he says to her. They both sigh knowing they would have to find a warmmer area of the planet in order to servive on this planet the rest of their lives.

Snow pauses and tilts her head slightly as she ponders for a moment the says slightly somber like, "I... I can't recall my homeworld... It's been to long. I just remember it being far colder. But don't get me wrong, I can stand the heat. Probably better than most sentient beings I've met." She glances around at their surroundings the thought of a colder night didn't bother her, but she knew she couldn't just let these people die... yet. Like a ray of her faint warm heart peeking through the cold frost incasing her very small fragile heart.
Absently she shuts her eyes to drive away the warm emotional feeling, something very unbecoming of her line of work, before opening them and saying. "This planet... It's called Earth. Or should I say... Was called Earth. It was ravaged by a great cataclysmic war and the Earthlings unable to live on the planet much longer, left for space. I do believe that the planet is currently undergoing an Ice Age brought on by said cataclysms after effects and natural progressional cycle. If we head South it should become warmer...", she says softly in a frail dainty voice befitting of her name.

They listen to her as she says she doesn't remember her home world and that it been to long. " i see" Carog says. The tempature had started to drop as the afternoon started to be come evening. " its starting to get cold " one of the crew says. " i guess we can start moving in the morning" Carog says to snow. The crew members started to gather up stuff to start a fire to keep warm for the night.
