Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda
Snowflakes
Chapter 7


"So, Dylan, how are we going to get out of here?" Beka asked.

"I'm not quite sure, yet."

"That's great!"

"I haven't heard any ideas from you, Beka."

"That's your job remember?"

"Oh, really?"

"It's in your job description. Dylan Hunt, Captain of the Andromeda Ascendent. Main duties: restore Commonwealth, restore peace and harmony, keep crew alive, and make up clever plans to get said crew out of tight situations."

"Really? I'll have to re-edit my duties."

"No, I'd say leave it just as it is."

"Okay, so let's think how are we going to get out of here?"

"Fly? Wait for spring?"

"Okay, why don't you check the engines and see if you can get them back online. If you can then maybe the heat will melt any snow that may be holding the Maru down?" Dylan suggested.

"Good plan, see I told you it was in your job description."

A few hours passed, and Beka had managed to get the systems all running. They let the engines heat up and hopefully melt any snow outside of the Maru. "Okay, Dylan that should do it."

"Beka, I've got sensors and it seems that whatever's on top of the Maru is slowly melting away. But there's still alot, so we might be waiting awhile longer."

"That's fine as long as we get to leave here soon!"

"I'm going to have to agree with you on that!"

"So, how's the snow coming now?" Beka said as she reved up the engines alittle more.

"It's almost all off! We should be able to lift off now!"

"Good, then let's get up while we can!"
