Summary: Beka's past comes back to haunt her-and the rest of the crew
Spoilers: None right now, could change. Oh, small one for Music
of a Distant Drum
Author's Note: This is my first try at script-writing, so be patient.
And I am going to finish Salvation someday. Just not today.
Rating: I can't really tell you why it's rated R, because that would
give away the whole plot, by it isn't because of sex (like the Beka/Tyr
kind) or because of cursing. But there is some Beka bashing.
Please review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its cover. What I find amusing is how they welcome an open book with
open arms."

Dylan is standing in Command, reviewing data. Beka walks in, limping slightly, followed by Tyr.
Tyr: I hope you've learned your lesson.
Beka: Will you lay off it, Tyr? So I'm a bad girl. Spank me.
Dylan: Is there something ither of you want to tell me?
Beka limps over to stand next to Dylan-as far away from Tyr as possible. She glares at Tyr, who growls back.
Beka: We were working out.
Tyr: And Beka left a weight on the floor.
Beka: (Sighs sheepishly) And then I stepped on it.
Dylan: Right. Just as long as you don't kill yourself.
Beka: What are you looking at? Could it be...the mining information? Has your need for money finally outweighed your reluctance to...gasp...stoop so low as to mine? Good boy. (Pats Dylan on the head)
Dylan: (Glares at Beka) Very funny.
Tyr: It's about time you came to your senses.
Beka: So, when are we going to start mining?
Dylan: I think the question is "Are we going to start mining?"
Beka: Aw, c'mon Dylan, don't be stupid. You know we need the money. Remember Camelot...
Dylan: I said I'd think about it.
Beka: (Whispering) Think yes. Think yes. You are thinking yes.
Rommie comes onscreen, cutting off any further discussion.
Rommie: Dylan, I'm picking up on a ship just within visual range. The pilot is trying to contact us.
Dylan: Alright, put him through.
VEH: I'm so glad I finally found you! You have no idea how long I've been looking for you! You are one evasive person, Captain Hunt.
Dylan: Thank you. I think. If you don't mind my asking, who are you and why have you been looking for us?
Beka moves into view for the first time.
VEH: My darling Becky! I hope this Captain Hunt has been taking good care of you, my dearest. Oh, how I've pined for you, my sweet.
Dylan: Would you hold on for a second? (To Rommie) Andromeda, cut audio-visual.
Rommie: Transmission ended.
All eyes turn to Beka. She is white as a sheet.
Dylan: Beka, are you alright? Do you know this man?
Beka: He's Victor Emmanuel Havanna.
Tyr: How does he know you?
Beka: (very quietly) He's my ex-husband.
