"We have to get those diplomats out of there," Dylan shouted through the noise of gunfire. "I know that Dylan!" said Beka in an impatient voice. A laser blast whizzed by Dylan's head and she continued. "You have been saying that since we arrived and I have to be honest Dylan its getting kind of annoying." Before firing another round of blasts at the raging neitziens on the other side of the hanger bay. "I know I've been repeating myself but its important," Dylan stated, "if we don't get them out of here then the Alysonian government will be very, very, angry." "Harper! Get them on the Maru!" Beka shouted, trying to avoid continuing this conversation with Dylan, over to Harper and Trance who were attempting to get the officials on the ship with out getting shot. "I know, I know" Harper shouted back, as he was motioning the prisoners to move over by Trance, who was at the airlock of the Maru, one by one. Just after the last diplomat made it to Trance, Harper started to run for the airlock, when Trance shouted, "Harper look out!" He turned just in time to see a neitzien fire a bright green light from his weapon and hit Harper right in the chest. He fell to the floor and instantly found darkness. "Harper!" screamed Beka who had watched the whole scene, horrified. Dylan, Beka, and Tyr ran toward the Maru, Dylan covering fire and Tyr throwing Harper over his shoulder. When they entered the Maru, Tyr ran to the cockpit to steer them off this base. Dylan, Beka and Trance lay Harper down on the deck. "He was hit on the right side of his chest just below his ribcage." Said Beka, hoping to be of help. "Is he going to be ok?" asked Dylan, with his expression on his face showing all the concern he had for his engineer. "I don't know" Trance stated simply.
