THE STRANGER

Author's note: this is my first Andromeda fanfic, so please be gentle with it. Also, all misspellings are not entirely my fault. Those belong entirely to my computer.
Disclaimer: not mine, don't own. (except for Mac, who does belong to me. But if you ask nicely, I might let you borrow her)
The beginning-
"Mac, you have to get out of here."
"No, I won't leave you and mom here. You know I can't do that." Mac replied.
"The Dragos are taking over this ship. They're killing everyone on board. You have to stay alive. Your ship has already been loaded. Now get out of here."
"Why can't I stay and fight? Or else why can't you two come with me?" Mac was on the verge of crying, which is something she rarely did.
"You know why. They consider you a threat. They will stop at nothing to get rid of you. So just remember that your mother and I love you. But you have to leave now."
"I'll never forget either of you."
"I know, Now go."
With a defeated sigh, "Yes, sir." With that Mackenzie ran to and boarded her ship, and left her family and her home behind.
Right before she entered slipstream, Mac took one last look back, just in time to see the ship that she had grown up on destroyed. Everyone that she had considered her family was now gone. She did the only thing left to do, she engaged the slipstream drive. But as she entered, her ship was shot, but she was still able to get away.
Little did she know that this bumpy ride was going to change her life, in a way she could have never imagined. Mac was about to get another shot at having a family.
"We are approaching a ship, which has recently emerged from slipstream." Rommie stated.
"And?" came the reply.
"The ship has been damaged badly, I don't know how it even survived the slipstream."
"Okay, let's try to open communications then."
"I've already tried. I can only detect one lifesign. He or she could be injured."
Runs hands through hair, "Alright, let's bring it into the docking bay."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I'll meet our visitor there."
Mac stumbled out of her ship, and took one look at the person who was standing in front of her.
"Welcome to the Andromeda Ascendent."
She just couldn't believe her eyes, or her ears. "This isn't real, this can't be happening, you're not supposed to be here." It was at that time that Mac passed out.
