Gene Rodeenberry's Andromeda
Snowflakes
Chapter 2
There was snow and ice everywhere, coming down faster and harder than Dylan and Beka had expected. The snow felt as if it was hail at the same time. Dylan and Beka were running back to the Eureka Maru. The only problem was that they could not see where they were going, let alone see the Eureka Maru.
"Dylan!" Beka yelled.
"Beka? Beka where are you?" Dylan asked, he could not see her or hear her. He called again, but since only the silence of the storm answered him, he began to backtrack. He tripped over a log and landed on top of Beka. "Beka?" She was unconscious and looked like she was suffering from hypothermia. Dylan knew that his heavier clothing was keeping him from getting hypothermia too. "Andromeda, can you hear me?" Dylan waited, nothing. "Rommie?"
Dylan got up, picked up Beka, and headed in the direction he at least thought they were going in before. He kept walking and it finally paid off; he found the Eureka Maru. The hatch however, was buried under a snow drift. Dylan set Beka down and began moving the snow away from the hatch with his bare hands.
Half an hour passed and Captain Dylan Hunt had gotten the hatch to the Eureka Maru cleared and entered the code to open it. He picked up Beka, waited for the hatch to open, and then entered the slightly warmer Eureka Maru. Dylan punched in a code to lock the hatch door. As the hatch closed and locked Dylan took Beka to the cockpit and set her down. Then he went to a storage cabinet and pulled out two blankets. He carefully covered Beka with both of them.
Dylan went to the piloting consol, and tried to leave the ice planet. "Damn!" he yelled as he hit the unresponsive consol. The Eureka Maru did not seem to favor Dylan Hunt. "Beka..." he called and tried to get her to come into consciousness. "Come on, Beka. This ship of your doesn't like me much," Dylan said as he knelt next to Beka. He traced half the shape of her face with his hand. He could tell that she wasn't going to respond to him and that she needed help. He left Beka and tried again to get the Eureka Maru to cooperate with him.

"Ahhhh!" Harper yelled as he ran onto the command deck.
"What's wrong?" Tyr asked him.
"He took an important piece of Andromeda's communications system," Trance informed Tyr.
"Please! Just stop!" Harper yelled as Andromeda used one of her internal defenses to shoot near his foot. "I'll give back the piece, I promise!"
"Good," Rommie said as she entered the command deck. "Then give me the part so I can fix the communications system."
"Oh, there you are Rommie. I've been looking for you," Harper said as he approached Rommie.
"Give me the part, Harper."
"I have just one question, okay?" Harper asked.
"Go ahead," Rommie told him.
"Will you...go out with me?" he asked.
"Of course not!"
"Awww, come on Rommie..." Harper pleaded, "please?"
"No. Now hand over the part," Rommie said and then snatched it away from Harper.
"Hey! Now that really hurts...You don't believe in me do you? That I would give the part back. I feel soooo hurt!"
"Oh, shut up Harper!" Tyr commanded.
"Fine!" Harper yelled and threw up his arms in frustration.
"You," Tyr pointed to Rommie. "Fix what Harper messed up." Rommie left the command deck to fix the communications system.
"Harper," Trance said, "this is all...your...fault!"
"Yes, and Harper you aren't going to leave my sight unless I say so," Tyr told him. Harper nodded. "Ship are you done?"
"This is more difficult than it should be. Harper criss-crossed wires and all kinds of crazy ideas like that," Rommie told Tyr. "This is going to take time."
"How much time?"
"Too much, if I don't get Harper's help."
"Okay, I'll send him down. Ship?" Tyr called.
"Yes?"
"Please escort Mr. Harper to help Rommie fix what he messed up."
"Don't worry, he'll get there. Move Harper!"
"Okay, okay. I'm moving," Harper said heading out the door of the command deck.
