Dylan walked out of Tyr's quarters. He had been searching everywhere for him. He needed to know if he had any information about Coyote Pride that might be useful. "Andromeda are you sure you can't detect him anywhere?"

Rommie, the ships avatar walked around the corner. "No he's not here."

"Check your sensor logs. When did Tyr disappear?"

"He was outside the quarters Trance had shown Janet to and then vanished. I assume he went inside. Janet had me on privacy so I don't know what happened."

"Is that area still on privacy?"

"Yes"

"Deactivate it."

"Still nothing. The ventilation shaft is open though."

Dylan went to investigate closely followed by Rommie. He entered the room and looked around. He saw a bag on the table with a few things beside it and a gun on the other side of the room. He walked over to the table hoping to find something that would help him even if it meant going through Janet's possessions. He saw the photograph of Janet and her father. He picked it up and examined it. "It's Janet and a human." Rommie said.

"You're not going to find anything that'll help you." Trance's voice came from the door.

Dylan quickly put the photograph down. "I might. You never know."

"I do know. Janet hasn't anything about Coyote Pride with her. She left it all on Fortuna Prime. She told me so."

"What else did she tell you?"

"Nothing that would be of interest to you. Except that she didn't know what she was thinking when she joined Coyote Pride and she was sorry she did. That was all. Oh yeah and Tyr had given her the interrogation of a lifetime."

"Why am I not surprised?"

Trance didn't answer instead she said, "The best thing for you to do now is start working on a way to get Janet and Harper out of there as quickly and as safely as possible." She worried about Harper. His dodgy immune-system might not be able to deal with the conditions she imagined him and Janet to be imprisoned in. She guessed Janet's nanobots would protect her from any infection.

"I need to know what the area looks like."

"I could download a plan from the database on Janet's ship." Rommie suggested.

"Let's go." Dylan said and they left the room.
********************
The door opened and a body was thrown in beside Janet waking her. She hadn't been sleeping anyway more like dozing. She looked over at the body. "Harper?" she whispered. "Are you OK?"

He groaned. "Bin better."

"What happened?"

"I've been up all night fixing their computer systems.", he said while sitting up.

"Huh?"

"Apparently they're too superior to do it themselves."

Janet rolled her eyes. "That sounds familiar. Are you hurt?"

"No just didn't have a very pleasant landing."

"You're cut." Janet pointed to a large gash running down Harper's arm.

"It's nothing."

"It looks nasty."

"I told you it's nothing." Harper wasn't about to admit that it wasn't nothing. He could see Janet's wounds were much worse than his. She was covered in bruises, cuts and burns and that was only her face. He was amazed that she could move.

"If you say so." Janet was tired and didn't want to argue. She moved back into her corner and curled up. The door opened and two pairs of hands grabbed Janet hauling her to her feet and dragged her out of the cell. She didn't make a sound, she knew it wouldn't make any difference. She stumbled and twisted around trying to keep her balance, as she was doing this she happened to look behind her. She saw a shadow and then a face she recognized looking out of the cell across from where Harper was. "Tyr.", she whispered. "I..." The men brought her out into the morning light and the building door shut.
