Andromeda
"Madison"
Chapter 8



"Why do you want me to leave the Andromeda?" Madison asked Dylan. Harper had brought her back to command and she was getting bored.

"I've told you that it's so you won't get hurt."

"Why? Why do you care so much?"

"Because that's my job, keeping people safe and restoring the Commonwealth," Dylan told her.

"This Commonwealth you speak of is long since dead! People used to hope that the Commonwealth would come back one day and drive the Neicheans, Magog, and all the tyrants away and that there would be peace again. That hope is oviously a fairy tale, how could a single person bring back a golden age that was destroyed 300 years ago?"

"Hope is all you need," Rommie told her. "If anyone can bring back the Commonwealth it's Dylan."

"Why do you say that? If his is true, then you would let him and the others out," Madison told Rommie.

"I'm keeping you safe. I don't want to lose you!"

"And I don't want to leave!" Madison told her.

"My crew used to always say "In Dylan Hunt we Trust!", and that's what I've always believed."

"Then let him out if you trust him."

"Listen to Madison, Rommie!" Harper told her.

"We could always take a vote?" Trance suggested, "but I believe that if we voted then we would be voted out."

"Rommie, I'll tell you what we can talk about it. Maybe we can come up with a solution for Madison staying on the Andromeda without her leaving?" Dylan asked her to consider his proposal.

"Okay," Rommie said and let down the forcefield.

"I say we just kill the girl!" Tyr said.

"Killing solves nothing," Rev Bem told him.

"Well, then let's brainstorm!" Dylan told his crew.

"What if Madison were to stay and Rommie and Harper could take care of her and if we go into battle then she can have some kind of shield or bubble to keep her safe," Trance told them.

"What if we make her room out of one of Andromeda's escape pods and equipt it with a sensor so when we're hit if she's in it, it will close and keep her safe," Harper suggested.

"I like both of the ideas, but I'm still not sure how effective those will be," Dylan told them.
