1 Chappy 1- High Sky Dive

High above the busy city of #$%&$#$&#$, USA, If anyone looked up they would barely notice a medium-sized almost bluish-white crack in the sky. Slowly but surely this crack spread open slightly and a dot shot through it, the object seemed almost human. By this time the people below were noticing this and recording and causing a commotion. As it was getting closer people were able to realize that what was falling was actually a humanoid! It seemed to be a suit of armor that was flickering on and off, as it came down it curled into a ball to protect itself from the buildings it was going to crash into. After 3 buildings, seemed to lose all the rest of its momentum and fall unto the busy road below

After the armor fell, in less than ten minutes military trucks pulled up, blocked traffic, and stopped people from coming near the area. 2 tents were pitched up and guards were patrolling the tents, in one of the tents were two people. The room wasn't very big, it had a few electronic objects in it like a radio, a satellite view of the area, and a coffee machine. In the middle of the room was a medium-sized rectangle metal table that looked retractable, sitting across from each other were two people, a man, and a woman.

The man on the right didn't seem to be in all too good mood. "Why are you here, I don't need some cop to watch this problem when I have a whole platoon keeping guard." the lieutenant scowled. The man was Caucasian, with short straight brown hair, a light hazel that could capture most women's eyes and want them to make a second glance, and a nice height of 6'2". the woman across from him didn't seem to be too eager either "Well I'm here ain't I, so suck it up sir~." The woman retorted "Besides, who's gonna try to communicate to this alien anyway, It sure in hell ain't gonna be you or those scientists!"

---------

In the other tent, it was similar to the first but had a few more electronics. An energy meter that seemed to go off when near the suit, A thermometer looking item that would flicker from 40 to 70 every now and then, and lastly a large cubical shaped object that didn't seem to be on at the moment. Like the first tent, this one had the same type of table that could fold, unlike the first tent though this one had 3 men and 2 women that looked kind of like scientists but seemed off. They also had an oddly shaped circle with another circle inside and three arrows on the inner circle*.

"How should we approach this..." Dr. Man 1 started the meeting. "Maybe we could sneak a sample from it." Dr. Woman 1 threw out an idea. "No, have you seen the patrol out there, we won't even get close without them knowing, we should just wait until it wakes up." Dr. Woman 2 responded with a sour tone. "Ok but what happens if it can't speak or communicate, or what if it's not a peaceful creature." Dr. Man 2 spoke up and said with a bit of worry at the end. Dr. Man 1 and Woman 3 were both in deep thought until Man 1 voiced his thoughts "what if we vote? this is America after all," he spoke in a demeaning tone "so wouldn't make sense?"

Hesitantly the others agreed "Those in favor of stealing?" one hand rose.

"Those in favor of waiting?" Three hands this time.

"Finally, those in favor of any other ideas?" Again only one hand.

Seeing the results Dr. Woman 3 spoke "OK, it's settled then, we wait." Other than groans it was quiet afterward.

An hour later, "Sir, it's my shift now." Guard A told the guard that was currently watching the suit. "Ok, hey do you have any idea what that thing is?" Guard B asked curiously, "No idea but it obviously looks like some kind of alien spacesuit, doesn't matter anyway as long as it doesn't cause harm." Guard A said nonchalantly. Guard B silently agreed, and just before he was going to he noticed the suit of moving! "Hey! Did you see that!" Guard B screamed. Guard A looked at the suit "You sure, I didn't catch that." He glanced again, just to see the suit's hand twitch. "Go tell the Lieutenant, I think it's waking up!" Guard A hollered! "yessir!" Guard B saluted then proceeded to run to the first tent.

In the tent, two people were having what seemed to be a staring contest when a guard barreled in "Sir! The suit moved!" This caught the attention of both the people in the room. "Simon, I'll do the talking, you can just be my bodyguard." The woman spoke in a resolute tone. Simon scowled in anger "fuck off, it's my job to protect the people not some cop who thinks she has some authority here!" "Tough nuts, I am a part of the 'people' as you say and I believe my father has already told you that I'll be the one who will do the talking correct~" The woman countered with a small smirk. She then walked out of the tent and to the direction of the suit. Having no choice the lieutenant followed muttering "It's Lieutenant Simon..."

"Dr. Z it's time." Dr. Man 1 said to Dr. woman 3. "Ok, I was wondering what all the commotion was about." Dr. Z uttered. All the doctors agreed and got going to see what was happening, but before they left Dr. Z noted "I'll do the talking if it comes to it." everyone nodded.

By the time The woman and lieutenant got to the suit, it looked powered back up and was in the motion of sitting up. The two stopped ten feet away from the suit and studied it. It had blue and black as its main colors with silver and grey as its side colors. It looked to be about 5'9" and full metal, "Iron Man?" Simon muttered just enough for the woman to hear, "I don't want to but I can kinda see that also..."

Collecting her courage the woman slowly walked closer "Hello, my name is Cate, Cate Zen." no response. Seeing that she continued to get closer, she stopped at 5 feet away and continued "I would like to ask a couple of questions if that would be alright. Can you understand me?" this time it looked at her but didn't respond to her.

"Hey, don't get any closer ok?" Simon spoke up and told Cate. He cautiously walked next to Cate, then suddenly looked at its surroundings and looked as if it was preparing for a fight. Seeing that all the soldiers raised their guns including the lieutenant. "Hold your fire! Don't shoot!" Cate yelled at the top of her lungs! The soldiers glanced at the lieutenant "Sigh... lower your guns." Simon repeated as they lowered their guns the suit surprisingly also got out of fighting position. Seeing that everyone sighed in relief.

Cate continued her talk "Can you understand me?" the suit then tilted its head questioningly "I guess not, ok how about this." She then pointed at herself "Cate, Cate." she continued that three times then pointed at the suit. Just when it looked like it was going to respond abruptly fell to its knees in pain.

Instinctively Cate ran to the suit before Simon could stop her "Are you ok?! Hey, speak to me!" Cate held the suit and noticed it was actually pretty light and not only that it was damaged on the leg and back. The suit held its head for a few minutes before weakly letting go and standing still for a moment. Just as Cate was going to ask the suit if it felt better, the suit got out of her arms, stood up, and helped her up. After she was up the suit reached for its helmet and slowly took it off. Once off everyone gasped and had a few thoughts, the soldiers mainly thought 'So this is what aliens look like?' The scientists were thinking 'How can we work this in our favor?' Lieutenant Simon was thinking 'Gasp! A Dark Elf looks like this?!' And Cate had this in mind but unknowingly said it out loud "So Cute!"
