OK guys, here's another one. ………… you asked for it, so don' blame me:D
For disclaimer, see above.
Harper was racing down the corridor, carrying rest of his water balloons in his hands. His only thought at the moment was how to avoid Dylan's revenge. He was sure, that this mishap would have some consequences. He just couldn't figure out which. Well, Dylan was not particularly homicidal person, so his life shouldn't be endangered. On the other hand, there could be some punishment hanging over his head.
"Holy shit, did it really have to be Dylan? Of all persons aboard, him! God, there's only one worse thing. It could have been Tyr!"
He was pretty sure, Dylan was not chasing him, but, just to feel more secure, he continued running.
Beka and Tyr walked to the bridge, discussing the latest events. They strongly disagreed about Tyr's role. He was sure, that there were no other possibilities open. He was virtually forced to kill that Than. Otherwise, the whole mission could turn into disaster. On the other hand, Beka wasn't quite sure Tyr's actions were appropriate.
"Tyr, I've told you before, that sometimes it really is more acceptable, to avoid the fight. You had the chance, but nooooo …. You *had* to go killing that creature. Yeah, I know, you felt threatened, but anyway. You could have retreated on time."
"Definitely not! Hadn't I killed him, he'd still be hanging around and you'd never got your chance to fulfill the assignment. It *was* the only possibility." Tyr's words showed his annoyance and lack of understanding for Beka's ideas.
"Hey, stop! Wait a second! What's this sound," suddenly Beka stopped and held Tyr by his arm. "As if someone is in a hurry, running wild."
"Don't you think that I've heard it before you did?" was Tyr even more annoyed. These humans! They really don't understand his genetic superiority! He heard that noise a while ago, but he didn't pay much attention. It was simply …. unthreatening.
"Andromeda, what is it?" asked Beka.
"Nothing really. Just Harper running down the corridor," answered Andromeda without showing herself.
"Oh, then it's perfectly OK. He's probably chasing his dreams again," smiled Beka and forgot about that stump noise. She turned to Tyr again.
In that moment, Harper ran around the corner. Without looking where he's going, he raced directly toward Tyr. Even the Nietzschean, with his superior senses was too slow to avoid the oncoming small engineer. He just opened his eyes wide and in the next moment Harper crashed directly into him. Although his body weight couldn't mach with Tyr's, he had such a speed on, that he simply overturned the big man.
Suddenly, Tyr found himself lying on the ground, with Harper landing on him. In the split second, he could see Harpers wide opened eyes, filled with terror and something else too: three balloons, flying directly to his face. In the second moment, he felt like someone had thrown him into water. All three balloons splashed on his face, and the water did what it was supposed to do …. soaked him wet like he'd taken a good bath. It took him a second to gather his thoughts and then he grabbed Harper and threw him away.
He fought to stand up, but spilled water made the floor quite sliding. His first attempt ended with a big BOOOOM as he fell back, with legs pointing straight to the ceiling. This was too much!! He is going to teach this annoying small human not to play with him!
Meanwhile Harper managed to stand up and he once more proved, that he perfectly manages the art of disappearing. WHOOOSH! And he was gone!
Finally in his second attempt, this time more carefully, Tyr stood up. His eyes gleamed furiously. He looked around to find that little skunk, not paying attention to the water dripping from his hair.
Beka stood aside, with disbelief written in her face. Then she finally burst into wild laughter. Tyr couldn't find Harper, so he turned to Beka.
"What the h… are you laughing about?" He was getting really mad.
""Ha ha ha ha, Tyr," Beka almost choked, pointing with her finger to the Nietzschean. Seeing him completely wet, with his dreads hanging like a bunch of dead snakes from his head, water dripping from each of them and his face ……… a perfect picture of madness, confusion and will to kill. It really was too much. So she exploded into loud laughter.
Well, Tyr didn't share her good mood and he lifted his hand threatening.
Beka didn't pay much attention to him. She managed to speak, finally. "Tyr Anasazi, you look like a drowned rat!" And a new explosion of laughter echoed down the Andromeda's corridors.
