Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Tessa Hunt walked down the hallways of the Andromeda Ascendant. It's once lush sounds deadened. Taken away first by the Nitechians, a race of enhanced humans, and then by a Black Hole that the ship had been in orbit around and eventually began to drop into. It was the last thing that she remembered before everything seemed to stand still.
Tessa looked much like her father, Captain Dylan Hunt. She had his ice blue eyes, and his brown hair, which much longer then his was, and was tied back into a pony tail. She was wearing civil clothing, with boots that came up to the middle part of her legs.
Her first thought after she realized that she was alive was to head to Command, hopping that she would get some answers. She also wanted to know if her father had survived. She hopped that he did.
She had heard him give the order to leave the ship, but she had been unable to reach a pod before the ship entered the singularity.
Her breath caught as she neared Command, and a dangerous thought crossed her mind. What if her father was dead? She had hopped that she was wrong, that he had made it. But from what she could tell so far, that wasn't very likely.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
When she entered the main Command area, she breathed a deep sigh of relief as she saw that he was, indeed, still alive. He was kneeling over someone, but from where she was, she couldn't make out whom. She walked over and gasped when she was able to see who it was.
It was Gahrsis Rhade, her father's best friend and soon to be best man at his up coming wedding. He looked like he had been shot in the chest. Close range.
She looked around the ship's central command deck, she saw only one other being, a Than named "Refractions of Dawn". From the looks of it, she was dead too.
The ship's A.I, who her father had given the nick name "Rommie," was trying to get his attention. "CAPTAIN HUNT! Are you alright!" she heard it ask.
Her father vaguely nodded.
"Something's wrong," Rommie said a second later, "I contact any of the life pods that we sent out," she reported.
"What?" Hunt asked. He looked at Rommie in surprise.
"They're ……….. Gone," came the reply.
Tessa let out another gasp, and he turned to face her. His initial shock slowly giving away.
"You were supposed to leave the ship with the rest of the crew," he told her.
She looked at him, "I tried, but I couldn't get to a pod in time," she said honestly.
She could tell from the way that he was looking at her that she was going to be in a lot of trouble once he got his bearings. She didn't care about that; she also knew that he was happy to see that she had made it through the singularity in one piece. As mad as he was at her for disobeying a direct order, he was happy that she was there with him.
He turned back to Rommie, who looked like she was trying to figure something out.
"I think that I might have miscalculated our time differential," she said. Dylan and Tessa braced themselves.
"By how much?"
Rommie didn't say anything. Dylan took a step forward, "spit it out!" he ordered.
"According to my calculations, we have been trapped in time, for over three hundred years," She reported.
Dylan took another step forward, if looks could kill, Rommie would have self destructed.
"Three Hundred YEARS!" he asked, "Oh My God," he breathed as he took it in. "Sarah? My Folks? The rest of the crew?" he asked.
Rommie shook her head, "I'm sorry Dylan, our everyone that we know, our entire world, is gone."
"Including Riley?" Tessa asked. Rommie nodded, "I'm sorry Tessa," she said. Tessa looked as shocked as her father had been a moment before. She shook her head in disbelief. "No," she muttered under her breath.
Tessa watched hopelessly as Dylan went over and retrieved the body of Refractions from the slip stream counsel. She watched as he placed his uniform coat over her dead body. Part of her went out to him.
"I wonder if anyone remembers what we were fighting for?" he asked to the open air. "They died for what they believed in," Rommie answered him.
Dylan looked up at the hologram, "That's the speech that I always give, but there's no one to give it now is there?"
Rommie looked distracted for a moment, and then she finally said, "Dylan, we have intruders on board." Tessa thought that she heard panic in the A.I.'s voice when she heard it say, "They're trying to reprogram me!"
Dylan and Tessa exchanged looks, "Show me," he ordered, getting up off of the floor. Rommie nodded and her face gave way to two humans and three aliens.
One of the aliens was a Magog, another one was a Nightsider, who from the looks of it, liked to live richly. He also looked like he was trying to hide something. He kept looking around, as if he was expecting something to jump him from behind. If she didn't know better, she would have thought that he was paranoid.
The third alien she didn't know. But she looked friendly enough. She was purple, with hair that was so multi colored that it could have been a rainbow.
When the camera zoomed in on the two humans, she noticed right away that one of them was sick. He looked like he some from of measles, which meant that he wasn't long for this universe. He seemed smart enough. The other human was female, had blue eyes, and short blonde hair. She appeared to be the leader of the group. Tessa found herself to be envious of her.
She wasn't paying much attention to what her father and Rommie were talking about, but she got a good idea when she saw him leave Command.
He's going to deal with the intruders, she thought as she watched him go. Suddenly, she felt very bad for them. They have no idea who they're going to be up against.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
When he returned from his little introduction to the people that were trying to take over the ship, Tessa thought that her father looked like he had been sucker punched.
"What happened?" she asked, concerned.
He took a deep breath before he told her, " The Common Wealth, I have just been told, fell when the Nitechians fleet attacked our ship three hundred years ago," he told her in a low voice.
She shook her head, "That can't be true," she said.
Dylan nodded in his own disbelief, he spun around to face Rommie, "It can't be all gone!" he said.
The A.I. looked at them both, "The Common Wealth hasn't fought a war, a real war for over a thousand years, where as every day is a battle for the Nitechians. They had been preparing for years," she reminded them. "Their fleet was over a thousand ships".
Dylan shook his head and paced around in front of the screen, "The Common Wealth had over a million planets, installations, Asteroid Stations," he listed. "Some of them must still be in operation," he stated.
The image on the screen looked back at them sympathictly, "Then it is our duty to find them," she said.
Dylan gritted his teeth, "We will".
Tessa looked at him; she knew that he would accomplish what he set out to do.
And she was going to help him.
