In a distant time, where most of mankind is putting their unconditional trust in technology, Captain Fred Hamilton has a different attitude.

He is now at Orion Space Complex before its commander facing a charge of insubordination for slapping one of his superiors.

The reason: he refuses to take orders from the WIZ Computer System.

The Commander Armstrong decided not to punish him by now because he thinks Hamilton's mindset will be useful at missions in outer space. And orders the Captain and his crew from the Starship MK-31 to repair a 100 year-old satellite.

After the success of the repair mission, Captain Hamilton receives another order: To track the origin of a signal that interferes with all radio and video communications of planet Earth.

The MK-31 arrives to an alien planet to be received by two flying saucers ready to the attack.

The crew took down one of them and received a direct hit from the other. They had to make a landing on the planet.

In there, they found a race of humanoids who are under the slavery of a giant robot.

It seems the Captain and his crew are the last resort for both Earth and that alien world.

Cosmos: War of the Planets is an Italian space opera film from 1977. Its original title is Anno Zero: Guerra Nello Spazio (Year Zero: War In Space in English). Directed by Alfonso Brescia under the pseudonym of Al Bradley.

Fascinating fact:

A Star Wars rip off that gets its release a few months after the release of Episode IV: A New Hope.

Sunday December 9th 2018

Dear Diary,

Last night’s Drunken Moogle was awesome. Was not invisible today, and it wasn’t just anyone that noticed me, it was the @au-rawr!

[21:25]Aghul Qestir squeezes in through the door and takes a curious look around before he chirps loudly. [21:25]Aghul Qestir sniffs at Katy Bunnyrabbit's tailtip curiously. [21:26]Aghul Qestir wags his tail. [21:27]Katy Bunnyrabbit wiggles her tail [21:28]Aghul Qestir purrs in excitement and paws at the moving tail. [21:31]Aghul Qestir sniffs at Kydronis Mikah next. [21:31]Anna Cox eyes Aghul.

[21:32]Anna Cox looked to Ky. "I think that gentleman is trying to get your attention." She pointed to Aghul. [21:32]Anna Cox moved on to Katy. "Hey, what can I get you?" [21:33]Kydronis Mikah blinked, then glanced down to Aghul. "Oh, hey there." He said with a small smile at the feral male. [21:33]Aghul Qestir meows at Kydronis Mikah gleefully and wags his tail. "A-rhuu!" [21:33]Katy Bunnyrabbit: "Cider please, and we might need a raw fish too" [21:34]Atori Akagane blinked as she heard that howling sound, looking to her left. ".. I was unaware pets were allowed in." [21:34]Kydronis Mikah hummed, sipping heavily at his ale, before reaching a hand down to give that head a small pat. [21:34]Aghul Qestir looks up as if someone called his name. "Fiss!" [21:34]Anna Cox furrowed her brow. She hadn't met Aghul yet but nodded and went to get the drink and fish. [21:34]Aghul Qestir: "Fiss, fiss, a-rhuu nam!", Aghul starts chanting. [21:34]Aghul Qestir snuggles into Kydronis Mikah's palm with another loud purr. [21:38]Anna Cox brings over Cider and what is TOTALLY raw fish and sets it on the counter. "Ther eyou go!" [21:38]Katy Bunnyrabbit offers the raw fish to Aghul [21:39]Anna Cox watched bemused as Katy offered the raw fish to Aghul. "....um...what's going on?" [21:39]Aghul Qestir: "Nam!" Immediately Aghul disappears from under Kydronis Mikah's hand and sniffs at the fish. He deems it good to eat half a moment later, promptly taking a large bite out of it to gulp down without chewing.

[21:40]Aghul Qestir: "Fiss nam!" [21:40]You smile at Aghul Qestir. [21:40]Aghul Qestir wags his tail. [21:40]Anna Cox: "uh...um, can...i get you a drink, sir?" She said to Aghul. [21:41]Aghul Qestir looks up at Anna Cox with a dopey grin and his mouth full of another huge chunk of fish. [21:41]Aghul Qestir purrs. [21:42]Anna Cox isn't sure what to do about Aghul. "Well, um, do let me know if you need something." She said, still confused. [21:45]Aghul Qestir gulps down the fish greedily and finally takes the rest off of Katy Bunnyrabbit's hands to toss it on the floor and eat from there instead. [21:46]Olly Oksenfreid picked up his two drinks and went to the couches. " 'scuse me.." he said, nodding to the others feeding Ahgul. [21:50]Aghul Qestir eats most of his fish in blissful silence. When there's only a few bites (and fishbones) left, he picks up one bite with his teeth to offer it to Katy Bunnyrabbit.

[21:51]Katy Bunnyrabbit takes the fish and eats it happily because she is a cat and she loves fish.... [21:52]Aghul Qestir squeaks happily and licks Katy Bunnyrabbit's fingers.

[21:55]Aghul Qestir offers another bite of fish to Kydronis Mikah too. [21:56]Aghul Qestir inches a bit closer to Kydronis Mikah, nudging the fish at him,

[21:58]Aghul Qestir paws at Kydronis Mikah. [22:01]Aghul Qestir drops the bite of fish into Kydronis Mikah's lap and wags his tail. [22:05]Aghul Qestir picks up his fishbones and places them back on the counter.

[22:07]Aghul Qestir meows at Anna Cox and nudges the fishbones a bit towards her. [22:08]Anna Cox smiled at Valis then looked to Aghul. "Uh, shall I take these away?" [22:08]Aghul Qestir chirps and wags his tail. "Nam nam!" [22:09]Anna Cox: "Do...do you want more fish?" She asked looking confused.

[22:11]Aghul Qestir licks the counter's surface where the fish was, then licks his lips. [22:12]Anna Cox furrowed her brow and went to get more fish for Aghul. [22:12]Aghul Qestir finds a glass on the counter and tries to reach for it with his paw. [22:13]Meela Jakkya frowns at Aghul, "What are you doing over here?" [22:13]Anna Cox brings back a Namazu on a stick for aghul. "Um...what's the deal with him, Meela?" She asked in a sorta whisper. [22:14]Aghul Qestir jumps, clearly startled. "A-rhuu nam!" [22:14]Aghul Qestir looks at Meela and veeery slowly reaches for the glass again. [22:14]Meela Jakkya shrugs at Anna, "Who knows. He comes in, eats my fish, never pays... with gil. He's a hassle, but mostly harmless." [22:15]Meela Jakkya waves her hand at Aghul, "You leave that alone." [22:16]Aghul Qestir meows, as if he's complaining. "A-rhuu nam! Nyuu nam!"

[22:16]Meela Jakkya huffs and leaves Aghul to it. [22:17]Aghul Qestir shrieks at Meela. [22:17]Aghul Qestir: "Nam nam! A-rhuu nam!" [22:17]Anna Cox hands Aghul the Namazu on a stick candy. [22:18]Aghul Qestir blinks in confusion at the distraction, but ends up carefully sniffing at the weird fish-shaped lump. "Nam?" [22:18]Anna Cox: "It's tasty! Eat it!" She smiled.

[22:20]Aghul Qestir sticks out his tongue and licks the namazu's head. It's ... very sweet. And not much else. But sweet is good! Like apples, but better. He purrs and wags his tail, then licks again. [22:20]Anna Cox thrust it at him. "Here! Take it" She laughed. [22:22]Aghul Qestir picks it up with his teeth and pulls it out of Anna Cox's hand before he starts trying to chew the hard candy. [22:22]Anna Cox laughed a little. "He'll figure it out, I'm sure."

[22:25]Aghul Qestir carries his hard candy over to the more comofortable couch and spits it out. The namazu head has taken some damage and shows teeth imprints. [22:26]N'ahlo Tia blinks a little bit at the Au'ra once he comes over, only to then watch him spit something out. "U-Uh --"

[22:29]Valerieux Augernaire glances over to Aghul and N'ahlo "Oh, hey, I remember you." he smiles at Aghul. [22:30]Aghul Qestir: "Nam!", he informs the miqo'te and paws at the candy namazu as if to point at it. The only effect that really has, however, is that the candy now sticks to his paw! Aghul blinks and shakes his paw.

[22:34]N'ahlo Tia leans a little bit closer to Aghul. "Do you...need help getting that off your paw?" [22:34]Aghul Qestir starts gnawing on his own paw to get the candy off again. [22:35]Aghul Qestir whines at N'ahlo Tia. [22:36]N'ahlo Tia giggles a little bit and carefully reaches out to grab the other's hand. "Here we go." He grabs the candy between two fingers and plucks it right off of him. "There. All better."

[22:38]Aghul Qestir starts purring at having the candy removed and quickly sets down his paw to not have that happen again. As thanks, he rubs his forehead against N'ahlo Tia's hand. [22:39]N'ahlo Tia blinks at first, his cheeks tinging slightly pink. He's a little bewildered by this and doesn't really know what to do, so he just goes along with it and gently pats his head. [22:41]Aghul Qestir purrs a bit louder.

[22:42]N'ahlo Tia: "U-Uhm. Do you...speak?" He just continues to scratch Aghul's head, even if he's unsure about all of this. [22:43]Aghul Qestir stills and tilts his head. "A-rhuu?" [22:43]N'ahlo Tia stifles a chuckle. "I guess I'll take that as a no."

[22:46]Aghul Qestir wags his tail and sits up a bit straighter. "A-ghuu-l!", he chatters and paws at his chest. "A-ghuu-l!" [22:47]N'ahlo Tia: "W-Woah, woah!" He grabs at the other's wrists and laughs a little bit. "Aghu...? Aghuuu? Aghul?? Is that your name?" [22:48]Aghul Qestir: "A-ghuu-l!", Aghul chirps happily in confirmation, tail thumping agains the floor in excitement. [22:48]N'ahlo Tia beams at Aghul Qestir. [22:49]N'ahlo Tia smiles happily. "Aghul! Okay! I'm N'ahlo."

[22:50]Aghul Qestir: "Na-luu?", he repeats and tilts his head before his expression lights up. "Na-luu!"

[22:51]N'ahlo Tia nods quickly. "Yeah, yeah. N'ahlo! You've got it." [22:52]Aghul Qestir: "Na-luu~", Aghul purrs and rubs his face against N'ahlo Tia again. "A-rhuu snuu~" [22:54]N'ahlo Tia finds himself blushing a little bit again, but he just keeps petting Aghul's head. "You're pretty friendly, huh?"

[22:57]Aghul Qestir: "A-rhuu", Aghul confirms, even though he doesn't know WHAT he confirms. But he enjoys the pets! [22:59]N'ahlo Tia just chuckles to himself. He's pretty sure the other has no idea what he's saying, but oh well. At least he seems happy. "I guess just make yourself comfortable, then. Not that you haven't already.~"

[23:01]Aghul Qestir climbs onto the couch as if on cue and somehow manages to curl into a small ball next to N'ahlo Tia. [23:03]N'ahlo Tia: "Oh! Oooh! Okay, well. Here you go." He laughs a shifts a little bit so Aghul has enough space on the couch, then passes a glance toward Seb and his company. He shrugs his shoulders lightly and then just leans back into the couch, watching the person of his interesting evening continue to keep it interesting. [23:04]Aghul Qestir purrs as he moves to keep himself snugly pressed against N'ahlo Tia, tail curled around himself. As he dozes off, Aghul begins to chew on his own tail tip even. [23:06]N'ahlo Tia just smiles a bit and continues to quietly pet the Au'ra's head. [23:08]Aghul Qestir half-purrs, half-snores. [23:08]Sebra'li Jinjahl ...looked back to N'ahlo with a smile. "Who is your cuddly friend?" [23:09]N'ahlo Tia looks back to Seb. "Oh! This is. uhm, Aghul? I think. I think he thinks he's a cat or something...." [23:10]Sebra'li Jinjahl blinked. "Well...At least he is a house cat. He likes you too." [23:11]N'ahlo Tia ...brings his attention back to Aghul and sighs a bit, but he's still smiling. [23:12]Aghul Qestir shifts a bit as he dozes and curls further into his oversized poncho. [23:16]N'ahlo Tia shrugs and then looks to Vale, curious to if he knew anything about his friend here. He had to admit that when he first saw an Au'ra approaching this was /not/ what he had in mind. Oh well!

...

[23:20]N'ahlo Tia smiles lightly at the couple's talk, then brings his attention back to the snoozing Au'ra beside him. [23:24]N'ahlo Tia gently pats Aghul Qestir. [23:49]N'ahlo Tia ... grins and then glances off, noticing a clock not too far off. "Ahh -- it's that time already?" He huffs and looks down at Aghul, giving him a couple more pats before he stands. "I've gotta get going. But it was nice seein' ya, Seb. And meeting you again, Vale." [23:50]Aghul Qestir purrs at the pets and makes a few sleepy noises, but ultimately doesn't wake up. [23:51]N'ahlo Tia gently pats Aghul Qestir. [23:51]Sebra'li Jinjahl looks to Aghul. "I want to pet him...."

Fun night, even if I was AFK live streaming for most of it, I copied the chatlog to read it later, hahaha.
