Ch. 4
The next morning, Harper woke up by the clanging sound of someone moving around different medication and also walking around. "Morning," Harper said in a sleepy voice. The person that was moving around was Trance. Trance was surprised that she had woken up their patient. She turned around, walked over to Harper and said, "Morning. Sorry if I woke you up," Trance said. "It's okay," Harper said even though he was still in pain. There was a small pause then Harper asked, "Has anyone figured out what is wrong with me?" "No, I don't think we have," Trance replied back. Trance was about to say something when suddenly Harper clutched his stomach and he started to moan in pain.
Trance got some medication and she shot it into Harper's system to ease away the pain. The medication also put Harper to sleep. While he was sleeping, Trance said out loud, "Andromeda. I need your assistant." "How may I help you?" Andromeda asked Trance. Trance told the computer what just happened to their engineer. After a small pause, Andromeda said, "Wow! We need to figure out what's wrong with Harper so nothing bad happens to him." "I understand that but I am not sure what is wrong with him. It's like a mysterious disease because no one can figure out where it's coming from," Trance replied back.
"That's what it sounds like," Andromeda said. "First we need to make a list of the different symptoms that he has gotten and then we'll go from there," Andromeda said, "Okay, some of Harper's symptoms are: fainting and some pain in the stomach area," Trance said. "Next, we might make a list of the different places that he had visited," Andromeda said. "Could you make a list of where he's been?" Trance asked. "Sure, but it might take a few seconds," Andromeda said.
Andromeda went to wok making a list while Trance tried to find out the disease for Harper. "Trance?" Harper asked. "How are you feeling?" Trance asked. " Better, I guess," Harper said. Trance filled Harper in on everything that had happened. Then he went back to sleep. While he slept, Trance heard, "Trance?" Andromeda asked. "Yes?" " I found all the places that Harper went to." "Okay," Trance said, "Now what?" "Now I will go in depth those different places. This might take a few hours," Andromeda said. "That'll be fine," Trance said.
While Trance tried to help Harper and she was also helping Andromeda by going through the places, the rest of the crew were worried about Harper. They continued to run the ship and they also make sure everything was running smoothly. On the deck and out of the blue, Dylan said out loud to his crew, "I'm going to the…." That was all that came out of his mouth when he fainted headfirst to the floor. "Andromeda? What's going on?" Beka asked. "Not sure yet," Andromeda said. Well, Beka and Tyr carried Dylan to the med deck. Since Dylan was sick with something, Beka was in charge of the ship. Beka and Tyr wanted to know what Andromeda and Trance had found out so Andromeda filled them in on what they had found out.
