Alarm, alarm!

After walking a few steps, he heard the ship sensors go off:

“TWO SHIPS ARRIVING. ON COURSE FOR CASTLE OF LIONS. ETA OF SHIPS E-10 MINUTES. IDENTIFICATION: RED AND BLUE LION.”

Pidge’s worried facial expression turned into a bright smile and he made a little jump, making his glasses slide to the edge of his nose. He calmed himself however, adjusted his glasses, and looked around to check if anyone had seen him. Of course, there was nobody around.

Two space-crafts were closing in to the ship from opposite directions. Both ships looked like quadrupeds from afar and upon closer inspections were of the feline type. For convenience they were called lions, but looked a lot more like jaguars or panthers. One was colored red, while the other blue.

Both ‘lions’ began to close in faster and faster. The main ship showed Pidge red alert and sent messages to the pilots of each craft approaching to slow down. The mechanic voice began to count down faster from the previous ‘E-10 minutes’.
