Hi everyone. This is my second story and I'm really hoping you guys review it. You don't really need to have watched any star trek movie or andromeda movies, but it would help you understand a bit more. Tell me what you think

Chapter 1

Captain Dylan Hunt stared out his window into space. His dream for a new commonwealth seemed to perish after his encounter with Trance's people. He looked around his room, and the photos that still hung on the walls; all the faces of his crew and friends from his past gaze at him. Every time he sees them, is a reminder that he doesn't belong here. After he was sucked into that black whole, he lost everything and everyone dear to him.

His train of thought was interrupted by andromeda, rommi, the ai form of the ship. She looked so real with her short, brown hair and short outfits. She was the only other person to time travel into the future with him. "Yes rommi?"

"Sorry to disturb you sir" she said so formally, like she always had. "But we have received a message from the emperor of Lantac."

"And what can we do for the emperor?" asked the captain as casually as he could. Since he had become a high guard officer, hunt had learnt to not trust the Lantacians. They are brutal, self-righteous and they won't do anything unless it involved something of value to them.

"He has heard about our mission and is interested to hear what we have to offer." Rommi continued to stand at attention and waited for hunts reply.

Just the thought of having a slimy Lantacian anywhere near a ship as rare as hunt's, gave him shivers down his back.

Dylan sighed and looked at rommi. "I know this commonwealth is meant to include everyone, but the Lantacs?" He pictured their slimy faces. The Lantacs may have the same basic shape as humans, but that's where the resemblances stop. These people have cat like eyes and blue scales instead of skin. They have sharp teeth and claws that are sharpened every day.

"Dylan, they…" but before rommi could say another word, the ship's 'temporary' first officer walked in.

"Sorry to interrupt but Dylan, we have a problem." She was looking down at her report and didn't bother to look up. Her dusty blonde hair covered her expression.

She looked up quickly when there was no answer, to find two sets of eyes on her. "What?"

Dylan sighed and shook his head. "nothing." He looked up at his first officer. "So what's the problem Becca?"

"We received this message" Becca handed the report pad over to Dylan as she spoke. "It seems you're not the only person to make it to this time period."

Dylan played the message.

On the screen was a high guard officer, but not someone Dylan knew. He watched as sparks few in the background. "Help. We are the star ship Akira from the commonwealth," Cried the high guard. "Please help us. We're under attack from the …" The message ended before he could finish.

Both Becca and Rommi looked at Dylan's expression. "What do you think?" asked rommi.

Dylan continued to just stare at the pad. "How far away are these coordinates?" He looks up at Becca, his eyes wide with hope.

Becca took the pad off Dylan and examined it for a while. "I'd say it would take about an hour." She looked up at Dylan. "But by that time Dylan, they…"

"We still have to try." Dylan left the room and made his way to the bridge with Rommi and Becca following.

"Tyr, take us on root for the Akira." Ordered Dylan as he entered the bridge.

Tyr stood at his post with his long, dark brown hair in a ponytail down his back. His muscles flexed as he moved to punch in the coordinates.

"I don't see why you bother captain." Said Tyr in his normal, down putting way. "They're probably going to be dead by the time we reach them."

"See Tyr," Dylan didn't want to think of that possibility. The thought just hurt. "If there is a chance, to have just one more high guard ship to help us, I'm willing to take that chance." With that, they were on there way through the slip stream.

Dylan left the bridge and headed to the basketball court. He has talked to people from his past before, but none turned out the way he wished. He tried to get them to join his corse, to restart the commonwealth. This may be a chance to have some back up or else…

He picked up the basketball and threw it towards the hoop. Miss. He continued, every time missing the hoop.

Rev. Ben, a holy man from the most deadly species in the universe, entered the room. "Is something wrong Dylan?" He stood their in his orange cloak that covered his brown, hairy body.

Dylan held the ball still in his hands and looked at the Magog. "Rev," he looked everywhere but at the magog, and forced a smile on his face. "Why does something have to be up if I'm having a bad game?"

Rev. Ben sighed and sat at the end of a high garden bed and sighed. Dylan knew Rev was not going to leave until Dylan talked to him. He sighed and went to sit next the Rev. "ok," he said. "I'm a little worried this trip will be as helpful as the last few times we met other high guards."

Previously, there has been many times where andromeda found other high guard ships or officers. The ship is still in bad shape from all the fights that were caused. The crew was not fit mentally for another let down. Or was that just Dylan?

After a few moments of silence, Rev spoke up. "Not everything is going to turn out the way you plan. All things are here to test you and make you stronger"

"Well, we would definitely be stronger with a few more ships to help."

Rev smirked. "Yes, but some times you just need strength on the inside to really live."

"Dylan," said Rommi over InaCom. "We've reached our destination."

So there's the story for you. You haven't met the whole crew yet, but I'm getting there slowly. Tell me what you think. Be as brutal as you want but I'm hoping to get at least 5 reviews for this story. Please help.
