"Have you noticed there is never any third act of a nightmare? They bring you to a climax of terror and leave you there." - Max Beerbohm, 1872 - 1956
Part One
"For the last time, 50 is my final offer" The trader spat at the young man who sighed,
"Fine, 50"
The argument had been going on for the last 20 minutes and as the engineer paid for the part he withheld a smile. 50 thrones' was an absolute bargain for a part the normally cost 200. Once he was out of the shop, well the ally that passed as the shop, Seamus Zealzny Harper allowed himself the cocky smile that was waiting to break forth. He had been sent by Dylan Hunt to buy new parts for the Andromeda Ascendant. The captain had given him close to a thousand thrones and Harper had brought the last of the parts and had most of the money still left. Hunt had told him to buy new parts so they would last but Harper knew anything he brought he could make like new.
The young engineer threaded his way past the shoppers, heading back to the Maru. He was busy looking at a group of females when a hand grabbed his shoulder.
"Well Seamus Harper. What a lucky surprise"
The voice was cold and made Harper's blood freeze. He turned around and came face to face or really face to chest, with a nightmare of his past. The Neitzschen was tall with a bald head along which ran a huge scar that looked like tattoo's running down to his neck line. The bone spurs seemed twice the length of Tyr's. Here was one the reasons Harper was afraid of Neitzschen's.
Harper pushed down his fear however and gave his cocky grin.
"Hi ya Lane. Long time, no see."
The grip on his shoulder tightened and Harper knew he had to act fast.
"Why don't we take a walk?" Lane said, keeping his voice as neutral as possible as people glanced their way.
"I'd love to" Harper said sarcastically and when Lane smiled, the engineer rammed his new part into the Neitzschen's stomach. Lane, not expecting the move was stunned, though only for a few seconds.
Harper took all the time he was given and pulled out of the grip, running back towards the hanger. Lane gave a roar and followed chase. The sixth sense Harper had hardly used since Earth flooded back to him and he pulled of his bright coloured shirt leaving the black T-shirt underneath so he could blend in. He knew he was no physical match for the Neitzschen but he had to make it to the Maru. Seeing the hanger doors he forced himself to speed up.
Just a few more yards Seamus.
Reaching the airlock he punched in the code and almost fell inside; all to aware of Lanes running footsteps. Slamming a hand against the lock button Harper slid down to the floor, catching his breath. He closed his eyes but they shot open a second later at the pounding on the door. The young human jumped to his feet heading into the cockpit. As he reached the chair he heard the door being forced open.
"Intruder in the ship" The console spoke.
"Thanks Maru" Harper muttered "I need a plan B"
Hearing footsteps heading towards him Harper looked around and he noticed the comm. Leaning forward he pressed the record button.
"Beka, this is Harper. Hey boss, I need help, it's Lane Bek. He's..."
Harper was cut off as an arm came across his throat. He felt himself being pulled backwards but he focussed on the send button. Reaching he managed to push with his fingertips.
"Message sent" The Maru said.
The next thing Harper felt was a blow to the back of the head, then darkness.
