An idea for the storytellers here

Coco said, “ If we all dress stylishly then we would just look like three city girls out on the town. Nobody, especially the authorities, would question who we are”.

“I agree”, replied Harper. “ and Setsuna might actually find it quite fun. If she is here to observe us by being amongst us, then let’s show her the best of what we’ve got to offer”.

Looking at Setsuna, Harper said, “ you have seen some of the awful things that take place in our world, now we want to show you friendship and love so that you can see we’re not all bad”.

Setsuna smiled and said, “ I’d really like to have friends. I’m really glad that you two are the ones who found me”.

Coco and Harper beamed lovely smiles at her, and then they themselves raided Coco’s extensive wardrobe for other items they could wear out that night. Harper did have to tuck some of the clothing in as she was not as large framed as Coco, but there were plenty of clothes there which Coco had collected over the years and which were a reasonable fit.

Looking human (too human), it'll end in tears.

Setsuna beamed, her tail wagging. “Guys, this is awesome! I don't feel scared for my life now. You two are the best friends I think I could ever have!”

Harper noticed the back of Setsuna's raincoat moving and the tip of her tail peeking out. “Ah, Sestuna, you can't wag your tail. I can see it.”

“Huh? Oh. Right.” Setsuna wrapped her tail around her leg. “Sorry, my tail does get me in trouble now and then.” With a shrug, she blushed and offered, “At least I didn't knock someone's soup bowl into their lap again.”

Harper chuckled. “You did that?”

“It was an accident,” she said with a blush. “At least his soup was cooled down enough that he didn't get burned.”

Coco pointed, “Up here is the Chinese place. They had tons of good food.”

"They have General TSO's chicken here?” Setsuna asked. “Gameia on the ship tried to make some, it was pretty good with the processed nutrients she used. I always wondered what the real thing tasted like.”

“Let's go get some!” Coco beamed.

.

Shortly, The three were in the restaurant in line to order. Setsuna noticed a man to the side, waiting for his order. He wasn't shaved like normal humans, he had a full fluffy beard and she was sure that under his overcoat, he was plenty furry. He noticed her and smiled.

“Hi,” he offered.

Setsuna smiled back. “Hi. Good food here?” she asked.

He paused, then said, “It is. Say, you haven't seen anything strange around here, have you?”

“No, though I just got here …in town ... to see my friends Coco and Harper.”

The man looked at Coco and smiled.“Wow, Coco Paris! Very pleased to meet you, I'm a big fan of yours! Would you do me the honor of having your autograph?” He pulled a note pad out of his pocket.

“Why sure,” Coco agreed. She took his pad and a pen and asked, “To?”

“Dan Westfield,” he supplied. He looked at Setsuna again. “And I do say you have very pretty friends.”

He held a hand out to Setsuna. “And who might this vision of loveliness be?”

Setsuna blushed. Seeing his outstretched hand, she got it. He wanted to shake hands, a human custom. “Setsuna Okami,” she replied and shook his hand.

“Japanese?” he asked.

Setsuna paused. Coco quickly said, “She was adopted by a Japanese couple.”

“Yes! They were traditional. Growing up, I learned Japanese as well as English,” Setsuna explained.

Dan smiled. “That's very good! I have done some studying in languages. If you are interested, I can tell you what your name means.”

This surprised Setsuna. “You can?”

He nodded.

“Takeout, Westfield!” the clerk announced.

Dan took the bag. “Thank you,” he told the clerk. He then nodded to Setsuna. “Have a nice day, Setsuna.”

“Thank you Dan.” she replied.

Dan took his order out to the car and got on the radio. “Westfield here. I just had an interesting conversation. At the site, your team found what looked like animal tracks by that pod?”

“Decon here, that's right. Large canine looking tracks. You found something?”

“Yes, a western looking woman, white hair. She is covered head to toe in a raincoat and hat. Her name is Setsuna Okami.”

“We did find white hairs inside the pod. DNA tested, they aren't human.”

Dan grinned. “Translated, Setsuna Okami basically means 'rebellious wolf'. When I shook her hand, I noted it didn't feel quite human. She has long, thick nails. Or claws. I do believe I have found our alien.”

“Where was this?”

“In a Chinese restaurant in London. Tell the Inspector I'd like to monitor Setsuna for a while, see what she does. Let me know if you figure out where that pod came from.”

I'm looking forward to reading this properly when I get more time.

“Well, whatever she is doing here, I’m hungry and I’m going to finish this food off first”, insisted Coco. “Tuck in, Ladies, I have a feeling we are going to need our strength for the adventure that lies ahead, whatever that might be”.

Meanwhile back at the restaurant the ladies were just finishing their food and Coco suggested they all head back to her apartment over looking the Thames.

" You must be tired Harper and Setsuna, i know i am. Its been a long night, why dont you both come back and crash out for a few hours at my place. It should be safe there "

" But " Setsuna replied " I don't want to be involved in another crash. This one was bad enough "

" No " Coco reponded laughing " I didnt mean a literal crash, i ment have a rest or some sleep Setsuna my dear "

Harper reponded " Yes i do feel quite tired actually after eating all that delicious food "

With that, Coco paid the bill and she contacted Parker on her mobile to come and pick them up. Within ten minutes he was there and the ladies climbed in the limousine and they drove off back to Cocos place, little did they know that Dan Westfield was following them at a distance.in his BMW

Meanwhile, buried deep underneath the offices of a huge conglomerate of companies owned by a billionaire, who liked to keep himself private, but had a passion for strange and alien phenomenon, all the events of the night were being monitored very closely.
Hanna and Lydia were investigators with this private and secret organisation and all of their technology had picked up the fall of the pod from space and the sudden appearance of Super Susie. Something very big was clearly going down.

“Keep me updated on everything that happens”, the billionaire, Steve Blackmore, said to the two women over the secure voice link, when they contacted him to inform him of the exciting events of the night.
“If necessary, call in our remote volunteer agents for additional manpower to follow anything, on the ground”.

“We’ll do that, Steve”, replied Lydia.

“Don’t worry, Steve, we’re on this”, added Hanna. “This will probably require Lydia and myself to get out into the field”.

“Do whatever is necessary”, Steve instructed, “this could prove to be something major and I want to be at the forefront of finding out what’s happening”.

“Us too”, said Lydia, “ this is one of the most exciting things we’ve encountered for some time”.

“We’ve already got other agents on alert for further instructions”, added Hanna.

“Good. I can’t get back to London for a few days until I finish off negotiations in Tokyo. But you can contact me anytime, I want you to keep me continuously in the loop on this. If I don’t answer, it’s only because I can’t get out of a meeting, but contact me any time of night or day”. Steve disconnected.

Hanna and Lydia look at each other and smiled. It was time for them to leave the secret vault, get kitted up and get out into the field.

Getting out of the limo in the garage,Setsuna beamed a smile at Coco and Harper. “I want to thank you both for being so kind to me! I was really nervous about being on the ground here, but you've shown me such a wonderful time in accepting me! It's just makes me want to ...” Setsuna threw her head back and let out a thundering “AROOOOOOOOO!”

The howl blasted out in the garage,echoing and flowing out onto the street as the driver, Coco and Harper covered their ears.

At the end, Harper, wide eyed, clapped a hand over Setsuna's mouth. “No!” she cried. “Setsuna, you'll give yourself away! You can't howl here!”

Setsuna gaped at her briefly, then lowered her head. “Sorry, I just am very happy....”

“It's OK dear,” Coco offered, a hand on her shoulder. “We just don't want anyone finding out about you.”

Meekly, Setsuna asked, “Is thank you OK?”

“It is,” Coco assured her. “Come on, we better get inside.”

On the street, Dan found a place to park. He saw the garage the limo had gone into. Getting out of his car, he heard a sound that sent chills up his spine. A long wolf howl sounded out. Right out of the garage to echo against buildings. Others heard it too. People on the street stopped and looked for the source. He had no doubt about it now, this alien was indeed a species of wolf.

Wow that’s brilliant - love the way Lydia is trying to look all intellectual as if she actually understands what’s going on-but I think we can all agree she’s slightly out of her comfort zone- it must have been a massive culture shock for her to even leave the bedroom… Wonder who the “Private Billionaire” alien enthusiast is ?……………………Cant help thinking he might be Bobbys twin brother separated at birth - maybe one of them has alien DNA and/or superpowers - but which one?

Quickly changing into appropriate gear, Hanna and Lydia then called up one of the company helicopters which they were allowed to commandeer at any time, and gave the pilots the coordinates for where the craft they had monitored coming through the atmosphere appeared to have crash-landed.
When they arrived, they could see the glow of flames from some small pod-like craft, but it seemed the military had already arrived and the area was surrounded by soldiers who were setting up a perimeter to restrict access.

“Well, whoever, or whatever, arrived in that craft, I hope they got out in time”, said Lydia, looking with horror at the flames.

“One thing is certain”, added Hanna, “ they won’t be returning in it”.

Sleeping in the sofa, curled up with her tail as a pillow, the rain coat as her blanket, Setsuna awoke to the morning news. On the Telly, the anchor woman was explaining, “The source of the howl people heard last night has not been found. Many think it was a practical joke, others swear there really is a werewolf in London. When questioned, the police insist it had to be a prank, no wolves have been found in their searches, but animal control has been alerted to the possibility of one may have escaped from a zoo.”

“Another top story is why the military has cordoned off an area of woods nearby. Some reported seeing flaming mass, most likely a meteor impacted in that area. All questions to the military commander have be answered by only, no comment. This begs the question of what are they not telling us.Neither Parliament, Scotland Yard nor the military will say anything about what landed in the woods, sparking speculations of everything from a classified plane crash to alien visitors. We will keep the public updated on any information we discover.”

Coco came in and said, “Morning! I got breakfast ready. Did you sleep all right curled up like that?”

“I did,” Setsuna replied. “I saw on the news, the military is keeping quiet about my pod. There's no way to get back to it either, is there?”

Coco sighed. “I'm sure they are going to tear it apart and study everything about it. It would be too dangerous to try returning to it.” Raising a finger, Coco added,“Say, after we eat, I was going to head down to the club to practice a new song. Want to come with me?”

Setsuna sat up. “Sure! I'd love to see your Jazz club!”

“I'll got get Harper up and around. You can use the bathroom to freshen up.”

Sitting on the street outside of Coco's garage, Dan Westfield saw Coco's limo pull out. He got into traffic and followed it. Moving through London, the Limo turned into an alley by the jazz club where Coco Sang. He found a place to park and went to the front door. It was locked. No one was watching so he pulled out his lock pick kit and let himself in. Slipping into the hall, he took a seat in the dark back corner and listened.

On the stage were the three women,Coco, Setsuna and Harper. He noted Setsuna eyed the piano then grinned and sat down at it.

Coco asked, “You can play?”

Setsuna nodded. “This is the real thing! You know there is one Earth song I know that I really wish all humans would pay attention to. It's not really Jazz, but I think anyway, it delivers a powerful message. I have studied pianos, and how to play. So, can I?”

Coco smiled. “Go ahead.”

Setsuna began playing a familiar melody then began singing.

“Imagine there's no heaven. It's easy if you try.
No hell below us. Above us only sky.
Imagine all the people, living for today.
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you will join us, and the world we live as one
Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do.
Nothing to kill of die for...”

Dan sat and watched Setsuna play John Lennon's 'Imgine' perfectly. That she knew it and had studied how to play it, told him more about her than any questions he had for her could. She played beautifully with heart as if she believed every note she played and sang.

When She was finished, Coco and Harper clapped for her. So did Dan, as loud as he could. He also called out,“BRAVO!”

All three heads popped up to stare at him. Dan got up and walked over to them. “Setsuna Okami, the Rebellious Wolf. That was outstanding, and what I truly wanted to find out about you.”

Setsuna stared at him. “ Dan Westfield?” she asked.

He smiled. “I'm happy you remembered me. I've been watching you. I know that was your pod that landed in the woods. So far, the military hasn't figured out where you are, or even what you look like. I want to keep it that way. Though, that howl you let out last night did raise a bit of a stir. You really need to avoid doing that.”

“What do you want?” Harper asked in a firm tone.

Dan shrugged. “Not much, just understand Setsuna here without all the interference from the various authorities and entities that are now searching for her. I doubt I can help get her back to where she came from, but possibly I can help keep her safe until someone figures out what to do.”

“Who do you work for?” Coco asked eyeing him.

“A group of scientists that studies extra terrestrial lifeforms. Yes, we know of a couple species already here. Have you ever wondered why octopi are so smart but live short lives of only a half dozen years? They truly have come from another planet. Possibly from Europa during a meteor impact. We know that moon has a sub surface ocean. My big question is, where do you come from, Setsuna?”

Setsuna swallowed. “I … I'm not supposed to say.”

Dan waved a hand. “I understand. Can you tell me how far you came to get here?”

“I'm not sure. I was born on the ship years after it was in space,” Setsuna told him. “I'm part of the second generation.”

Dan nodded. “I see. I only want to know since we crave information about other planets that contain life. For science, of course. It's not like we have anything that can even get out of our own solar system.”

Setsuna offered, “I can't tell you much about the ship's drive systems. Our scientists take care of those.”

“To travel through interstellar space, I imagine so,” Dan agreed. His phone rang.

“Dan Westfield … Yes, they have?Where are they looking? … Oh Bother! Right, hang up before someone traces this call!” He snapped his phone shut. He then nodded to the girls and said, “I need to go. Stay here for at least an hour, my car is being tracked. I don't want them to find me with you.” He then turned and ran out to the front.

Setsuna hoped Dan wasn't in trouble. He seemed like a decent guy.

At the same time, Hanna and Lydia’s investigating had led them to a large garage in an upmarket part of the city.

“All of our monitoring suggests that this is the place where the howl originated”, said Lydia.

“HQ says it’s owned by Coco Paris, the jazz singer”, added Hanna, “ we need to see if we can speak with her”.

After knocking and finding no one there, they contacted the vault to ask if her whereabouts could be located.

Setsuna stared at the door Dan had just fled through. Dan had found her, she knew others would also. It was inevitable. She got up from the piano and looked at Coco and Harper.In a meek voice, she said, “You both have been so wonderful to me.I could not have asked for better. Me being with you is probably going to put you in danger. I don't want that. I've seen how mean humans can be.” With a sniffle, she added, “Thank you so much for being kind.”

Setsuna then bolted to the back door she'd came in and scanned the alley. The building on the other side of the alley had a metal staircase going to the side. The ladder to get up to it was raised. Setsuna leaped up and caught the lower platform. Scrambling up on it, she leaped up to the next, and to the next, then climbed the ladder to the roof quickly.

Up on the roof she looked around. She hated to leave her new friends, but the last thing she wanted was their lives ruined by hiding her. Being stuck here on Earth, she had to figure out what she was going to do, how she was going to hide.Becoming anonymous seemed to be the best answer.

Harper made it out the side door in time to see Setsuna make the roof. “Damn, she's fast,” she grumbled.

Sorry Pyroc, perhaps it’s me but I cannot make head nor tail of this. Who is Thoros? Who are Morenna and Rhiannon? Are they meant to be wolfkins too? Where do Amazons come in? This doesn’t make any sense to me, sorry.

Setsuna quickly made her way across the rooftops. She needed to get away as quickly as possible, not just so that she could hide from those who were looking for her, but also so that she could protect her new friends. She hoped she would see them again one day, but for now she needed to be on her own for everybody’s sake.

Pyroc, what I think Jedzed means to say is the story is building on what happens before : Yes characters come in and add to events, not build new events entirely. Maybe if you have say a type of wolf people on Earth already that see Setsuna and recognize her a possible kin? Or just curious about her? As of not only three people know who Setsuna is and what she looks like. The rest of the world is searching.

BY the way, Jedzed that is a VERY sexy pic :cool:

Hanna and Lydia, waiting outside Coco Paris’s place, saw the sudden movements and something climbing up onto the roofs of the nearby buildings.

“Look at that!” Lydia exclaimed. “That could be the very alien that we’re looking for”.

“Yes”, agreed Hanna, “and she came straight out of Coco’s place! What on earth is going on here?”

“ I don’t know”, replied Lydia, “ but we may be about to find out. Look there are two other women looking up watching her, and one of them is Coco”.

Suddenly, one of the women noticed them and cried out.

“Hanna, Lydia. What are you doing here?”

Coco turned to Harper and said “Do you know them?”

“Yes”, replied Harper, smiling, “they are really good friends of mine. They work for a really wealthy guy whose passion is strange phenomena. I think they might be on the trail of Setsuna”.

Hanna and Lydia came over and Harper hugged them both.

“Do you two have anything to do with this alien?” Hanna asked.

Harper turned to Coco and said,

“Don’t worry Coco we can trust them. They’re not here to harm Setsuna, just to understand her. They’ll help us to help and protect her, that is, if we can find her now”.

“In that case”, Coco said, “ come inside, and we’ll tell you everything”.

"Where is my daughter!" Natalia asked in a growl as she faced the captain.

The Captain let out a sigh. "Tech Natalia, Setsuna launched herself to Earth in a life pod."

Natalia tipped her head slightly to the side. "How did you let that happen?"

"I didn't!" he said frowning back at her. "She launched herself! We can't risk the ship trying to retrieve her."

"So you're telling me those pods weren't disabled for maintenance then?" Natalia asked in a hard tone. "Who was the auxiliary functions operator who didn't lock them down BEFORE she climbed into any of them?"

The Captain stated, "He has had a reprimand placed in his..."

Natalia bared her fangs. "He let MY DAUGHTER get shot down onto a Death world!" she barked. "What's being done to get her back?"

"By orders, I cannot risk this ship to go save one wolf." he stated. "It is vital the humans do not know we are here."

Natalia's Ears flattened. "Apparently, you forgot my shuttle does have very good stealth so I can monitor orbital objects close up. Did your bridge crew at least monitor her trajectory?"

"Senior Tech Natalia, listen to me, we cannot afford to have Humans know we are here. I forbid you to go down there." the Captain said sternly.

Natalia stepped closer, nearly nose to nose with him. Her voice was a deep growl. "You haven't reported that incident either, have you? I will, right after I launch, and if anything happens to Setsuna, anything at all! I will ensure you are no longer captain of this ship!"

Natalia spun and marched over to the sensor recordings. She found life pod 19's trajectory and frowned. The pod had landed near the City of London. She got the coordinates and went to her shuttle.

Striding down to the hanger, Natalia walked in to see her shape-shifting Crew Chief, Mr B, inspecting her shuttle. He wore a human form.

"Mr. B, is Snooper ready to go?" she asked.

Mr. B turned to her. "Sure is. You just got back from a survey, you're going out again so soon?"

Natalia frowned. "My dear Setsuna has launched herself to Earth. I have to go get her."

Mr. B's eyes widened. "How did THAT happen?"

"Right now how doesn't matter as much as the fact she is alone and on the surface. I have to go get her," Natalia stated.

"How are you going to to that?" he asked. "I mean, yeah the stealth on Snooper is good, but close up in atmosphere, it still leaves a displacement wake unless you're moving very slow. If you uncloak to let her see you're there, everyone nearby and every radar in the area will also see you!"

"B, she's my little girl. I have to try." Natalia said firmly.

He nodded to her. "Yeah, I know. I'm going with you then. Do you have anything to locate her?"

Natalia shook her head. "I was thinking flying low and scanning to find her."

"I'm going with you. Hey, when we find her, I can do my best to keep you out of trouble and let's face it, if someone has to go to ground, I can fit in. You can't."

"Thank you. Let's go"

They got in and powered snooper up. Mr B overrode the hanger doors and they were on their way.

Setsuma was beginning to realise her impetuous action might just have been a mistake. While her presence would place whoever she was with in danger, now she had nowhere to hide, no-one to turn to and no resources to fall back on. It had just been too many strangers all at once. There was the emergency kit on the escape pod that she should have taken, but as the military had found the pod it would be dangerous to try and retrieve that now. But really there was only one choice. She headed for Coco's, hoping that when Coco returned, it would be alone. She suspected Harper and Parker would accompany her but it was literally the only place on Earth she knew. Keeping to shadows and rooftops, she made her way onto Coco's balcony, figuring that even if Coco wasn't alone, she might be able to catch her eye.

Before they entered Earth's atmosphere, Natalia activated the quantum pulse communications back to their planet. The unit in her shuttle had instantaneous communications from atoms in her unit to a duplicate unit on their home world. Messages had to be short and to the point.

"This is Senior Tech Natalia of the Earth Explorer mission. MY daughter Setsuna was accidentally shot onto the surface of Earth. The Captain has not and will not authorize a rescue mission, so I am going to retrieve her. I take full responsibility for this action."

Mr. B was looking at the ground. "Natalia, begin descent in two point one minutes. Remember, slow, we can't go making a wake in thick atmosphere."

Natalia nodded. "I'll be as slow and stay as hidden as a space mouse in a room full of cats."

When Mr. B gave her the mark, she slowed the shuttle down so it dropped from orbit and used anti-gravs to descent without leaving a fire trail.

To herself, she whispered, "I'm coming my dear. Please be all right when I find you."

.

Setsuna landed on Coco's balcony. No one was back yet, so she curled up into a tight ball by the door. She had to wait for them to get back before she entered, it was only proper manners. She only hoped she was making the right decision. she really didn't want to cause any trouble for her new friends. Tired from running and jumping roofs, she took a nap while she waited.

Natalia had been coming down slowly. She also noticed she'd gotten close to an airport. Mr. B said, "Air plane to our port. No indication he even knows we're here. Still you should fly away from this airport."

"Agreed." Natalia said and banked towards the middle of the city. Using minimal thrust, she dropped to 100 feet above the buildings. It was getting dark, so Mr. B turned on the search lights that only bounced light back towards the ship if they hit a living entity. Passing over the buildings and streets below, Natalia and Mr. B searched to any sign of Setsuna.

Searching for while, Natalia spoke up excitedly. "B, look there on that balcony!"

He did. It looked like Setsuna knocking on the door to the inside as she waved. Within the glass wall, a figure was coming to let her in. "That's her," he agreed.

Natalia looked at the roof. It was going to be close, but she turned and moved the shuttle to hover just over the roof. She went to unstrap and Mr.B held her arm. "Natalia, I'll go get her. You might scare someone. They might try to kill you. Remember, this is Earth."

Natalia let out a huff. "How will you get in then?"

Mr. B changed his looks and his clothes. He now wore a London police uniform. "I'll knock on the door and ask for her," he beamed.

Natalia lowered the shuttle to the roof as close as she could get. "Use the primary crew exit and the ladder," she coaxed.

Mr. B climbed down out of the shuttle and found the roof access door. Going down to the level the apartment was on, he found the door and knocked.

"Hello? Police, anyone home?" he asked loudly.

Inside, he heard excited voices and some scurrying around. A woman squeaked, a couple other whispered frantically. "Coming!" a high pitched voice called.

Th door opened on the safety chain. An eye and some dark skin was all he could see in the crack. "Yes officer?" she asked.

Mr. B could hear in her voice she was nervous. He smiled and said, "Could you tell Setsuna Okami that her mother, Natalia is here to pick her up? We'd appreciate it if she hurries, we're illegally parked."

Ok Guy's have all the photos and text to date, done all the voice over for part two, is the thread moved yet, is there more to add and go on to part 3, or do you want to end here?, Lady-J

Thanks Lady J. Well guys, is there anything else you'd like to add?
Maybe something like a revelation - Mr. B meeting her friends then saying : "Setsuna I AM your father!" :ROFLMAO:
