Disclaimer: I own nothing in this story everything belongs to someone else either Tribune or anyone else with which Andromeda is associated. I also use lots of references to Mythology.
Rating - R for a lot of violence although it is not very graphic I figured rate it R then no one will complain (I hope)

On Board Andromeda just after receiving the message.
"RAGNAROK? What the hell does Ragnarok mean?" Asked both Beka and Harper as they saw the reaction that word had caused among the rest of the crew.
"Ragnarok is a word from Germanic Mythology from Ancient Earth" replied Andromeda as she appeared in front of Beka. "It was the word used that signified the of the Germanic Gods"
"Ok so why does everyone look like they've seen a ghost?"
"Because what led up to the destruction of the Gods was a massive WAR that ended up almost totally destroying what was formally known as Northern Europe." She finished before disappearing once again.
"Ahhhh.. Now I see why everyone is so upset" replied Beka "Well I guess we had better send this news to Sintii then?" She asked as she looked around at the rest of the crew awaiting their reactions.
"I think it would be better for us if we went in person instead of just sending a message" said Tyr after realizing she was waiting for an answer.
"Agreed besides... Dylan's state funeral is in three days... And we cannot miss that!" Pitched in Trance before falling silent.
"You're right Trance we can't miss the funeral. And Tyr you're right as well we could deliver more information in person then from a transmission" agreed Rommie as she looked over towards Beka with a look filled with so much fury that Beka was afraid at what would happen to her if she refused.
"Ummm... Ok then... Now that that's all settled it looks like we are going to be going to Sintii" Beka stammered out. 'Gee remind me never to get on Rommie's bad side' she thought to herself as she saw the satisfied gleam in her eyes. Beka then mounted the pilot's podium and activated it "Hold on everyone" she said as she plotted the course to Sintii before taking the ship to slipstream.

Meanwhile elsewhere in the Universe
The Android Dylan and the man he only knew as Master were walking down a corridor on their way to the shuttle that Dylan was told was going to take them to the vessel in which his consciousness was going to be implanted.
"So how do you know that I will be able to implant myself into the ship?" Dylan asked after a while of walking in silence.
"Well we have read the intelligence reports that showed that is precisely what - Ryan I think his name was - did when the Wrath of Achilles was erased, is that not so?"
"Yes that is true. But there is one thing you are overlooking"
"And what would that be?"
"Ryan was a ships Avatar beforehand, where as I never have been"
"True. But there is something that you are overlooking" the hooded man said as he stopped and turned towards Dylan
"And what would that be?"
"It would be that when the original AI was erased from this vessel it was an incomplete erasure. Most of the information that the AI contained had been backed up before it was erased. The thing is we can't access any of it, and that is where you come in"
"So you needed an AI to access the information that would allow the ship to fly? So why me?"
"Because not only do we need it to fly, we need it to be capable of doing battle. Although I have many, many loyal followers none of them have the brilliance necessary to be a warship. You on the other hand have that and a lot more to offer." And with that the man turned and continued walking motioning for Dylan to fall in to step behind him. They reached an open roofed area that was big enough to house many vessels, but at the moment there was only one in it. As they boarded the vessel the man turned to Dylan and said "so are you ready to start your new life as the flagship for the Children of Loki?"
"Do I have a choice?" Dylan replied
"No. No you don't" and with that the man boarded the vessel, with a sigh Dylan followed thinking 'I wonder what kind of ship it is I doubt they could have anything too powerful.' When they were both seated in the rear cabin of the vessel, it took off. After the vessel left the atmosphere of the planet it turned and headed to wards an asteroid belt located just beyond the fourth planet of the solar system. As they got closer to the asteroid belt Dylan saw something that looked like a big asteroid but with a strange looking design. The man looked over and saw what Dylan was looking at and asked.
"So do you like the look of yourself?"
"What?"
"That object your looking at... That is the ship you will be integrated into." Dylan was almost as shocked by that as he was by the size of the vessel. The vessel had to be at least Five time's the size of the Andromeda and looked like it was more heavily armed than Three Full Battle Groups from the old Commonwealth. But the next thing he saw shocked him even more if that was possible, the design he saw on the hull was a design he thought he would never see again... At least not for a while. It was the emblem of the Old Commonwealth 'When the hell did the Commonwealth ever build something this big and powerful?'
