The door opened to reveal several individuals.
Five of them were dragons - one black and silver, one green and silver, one green and gold, one with peridot and amethyst coloration, and a shorter one with opal and turquoise coloration. All but the opal and turquoise one had smooth scales.
There was also an otter with dark fur, a neon yellow underbelly, hot pink paws, and green lines that looked like rave lighting.
There was a white-copper aardvark as well.
Finally, there was a fox-wolf hybrid.
The peridot and amethyst dragon spoke up.
"Sorry about any accusations. I asked about Mitzelcuahuatl because he made a mess of that planet and I used to be one of his experiments. Let me introduce you around."
The dragon pointed around the room.
"I'm Firuthi. Green and gold one is Universe, black and silver is Eternity, green and silver is Cosmos, the little opal runt is Oliver. The aardvark is the ship captain, Tyrim. The otter is Kurt. The folf is Ahrakas. There are also some four-armed ducks on board... don't worry about them."
The peridot and amethyst dragon stopped pointing.
"So... like Tyrim said, you're on the Asgard carrier ship. We're caught up in a war with an empire called the Shogun Empire. We're about to approach a planet named Mandalore in..... uh.... hey Ahrakas, which dimension is this one? I never learned the Temporal Imperium's dimension notation."
