Chapter 1

"At best we're not going to win".

As she said that, the older, golden Trance laid her hand on Trance's shoulder.

"Young one, the time you are going to is fraught with danger, I have come back to try and change that. But you have the ability to make that future better, at least not as dark,.One of us can surely succeed".

"You know what we have to do".

"Is it the only way?"

"There is one perfect possible future, but I haven't seen it".

Trance was looking at herself, herself from the future and what she said about where she came from Trance didn't like the sound of that one bit.

"Beka I have to go " she said,"but don't worry, I'm not really leaving I'm just changing, everything will be OK you'll see.

She was young, she had never Tesseracted before. As she stepped in the wave time washed over her, she could see, the past, the present and the future. She watched the future, she saw all her friends, Harper. Who as like a brother, Tyr, who, under is tough nietzschean exterior was a friend. Rev Bem, Rommie,even Dylan, all dead, her friend..,gone, all bar Beka who was badly injured. No she can solve this. Her emotions boiled up, the angered flamed, oh, no retreated to her bonsai tree, her time tree. She can fix this, she has too.

Andromeda shook from a missile barrage. Apparently from nowhere. The impact almost knocked Dylan of his feet, steadying himself, Andromedas hologram appeared.

"Captain we are under attack."

"Thank you Andromeda, I noticed."

As he made his way to command a Tesseract field opened in front of him.

"Damn" Dylan mutters, "What now".

Trance stepped through,she was excited to see her crew, she had just left them, but it had been so long to her, so many futures, so many crews, such a long time but time is irrelevant to Trance, she walked onto Andromeda and into a force lance in her face.

"Trance"?

It's me Dylan, just a different me."

Dylan had such a confused, but knowing look on his face Trance couldn't help but give a little smile.

"Your…you're blue and white"

"Yes".

"What happened, why are you..different?!"

"That is a very long story, for another time."

Just as he was about to reply, Andromeda was struck by another salvo.

"Damn" Dylan muttered to himself

"Trance we'll talk about this later, right now I'm needed on command".

You'll need me there to captain".

Dylan paused for a second, but he knew when Trance had an idea he had learnt to trust it.

"Then lets go Trance" He gave a small but welcoming smile, Trance had to save he Andromeda and her friends.
