Chapters are still short because I was kind of stuck here. I wrote this is a challenge and was still trying to figure out where I wanted to go.
Chapter 3
Beka piloted the Maru away expertly. It was kind of nice to be off on her own again. It was just like old times.
It wasn't that she didn't like being on Andromeda; on the contrary, she really loved it. But the Maru was her ship and first and foremost, it would always be home to her. But it was also nice to be off on her own.
Beka loved her crew; they were her family. But it was possible to overdose on family, after all. Everybody needed time to themselves to just do whatever the hell they wanted without anybody bothering them about it. She was taking that time now.
Beka knew where she was going. Shockingly enough she was going to a planet. Beka hated planets normally but what the hell? She needed to get away and it wasn't as if she was going to stay there permanently. She's go back to the Andromeda eventually to take up her life again where she had left off.
Now the planet was coming into view. It was pretty out of the way. Off the beaten path, so to speak. But so what? She was just going to spend her time there and leave. What could possibly go wrong?
