have any pointers let me know.

Dylan leapt forward. Separating the two combatants.
"What the Hell do you two think your doing! You're acting like children!"
Harper tried to reach around Dylan and grab Trances hair. Dylan shoved Harper back against the wall.
He kept his hand there and met his eyes sternly. "There will be consequences, for both of you." He turned his head and looked at Trance. "But right now I more concerned about helping Beka and Andromeda.
Harper you will start repairs..."
"But Beka..."
"No buts, your going to have to trust us whether you want to or not or you'll be spending the next month in the brig where you'll help no one." Dylan was furious he barley moved his lips when he talked.
"AND you," he continued looking at Trance "Are you still good at finding things?"
Trance nodded and replied "Yes."
"Then you will find Beka."
He turned his back on them a logistically error he would later admit to himself.
Trance turned on Harper slamming him back against the bulkhead just when he had started to move. This time her hand was on his throat. He gasped for air. "You were my best friend. That's the only reason I don't kill you. That and the fact that I'm really sick of killing." She pushed her self off and strode past Dylan and out in the main docking area of the Andromeda.
Harper just looked shocked and raised his hand to his throat.
"Mr. Harper repairs now!" ordered Dylan not unkindly
Harper woke from his shock and followed Rommie off the Maru.

Trance stood in the centre of the bridge. Her eyes were closed and she swayed slightly, almost rhythmically.
Dylan stood near the helm and Tyr at his own post nearby. Rommie the AI stepped onto the bridge and joined Tyr and watched.
"What is she doing?" Whispered Rommie to Tyr.
"I have no idea." Then suddenly "GIRL!"
Trance, jumped slightly and turned and glared. "If you're referring to me I am not a girl."
Tyr ignored the comment but felt a slight satisfaction at unnerving her. "What do you hope to accomplish?"
It was unclear what Tyr was referring to but Trance chose Beka.
"I think I've found Beka." She replied to Tyr's answer but it was Dylan she turned to face.
"Where?" Dylan straightened him self and readied for action.
Trance pursed her lips. "She's here on the bridge and a little in the hall and a little with each of us."
"Make sense creature."
Trance turned back to Tyr. "You know I don't remember you being this annoying. Your almost as bad as Harper." It was Tyr's turn to glare.
"Could you explain it again?" offered Rommie
"Well I think why we can detect her life signs on your sensors and why I know she's near by is that she really is here." Trance stopped and thought for a second. "Harper told me once a long time ago solid things are made up of really small unstable molecules. What makes us solid is that the molecules are really close together. Beka is really spread out."
"So that ray that entered the bridge decomposed her?" questioned Dylan
"It seems it was meant for her specifically because nothing else on the bridge or on the hull was effected." Theorized Rommie "But why would some one want to harm Beka?"
"And how do re materialize her?" questioned Tyr
"Harper will know the answer I'm sure, but we'll need to hurry I can feel her growing weaker every moment." Dylan looked at Trance as she spoke deep down in there somewhere was their Trance and he had to trust her.
"OK, see what Harper can figure out, but get him to hurry. Rommie I want to you to analyze any data you can get from when the beam hit Beka we need to find out who did this and why "
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Harper hid in a conduit grumbling to him self. Rommie the avatar offered to lend a sympathetic ear but he told her he wanted to be alone. He slipped his nano manipulator into an open panel trying to adjust Rommie aft thrusters. He sighed as he worked. They didn't understand Dylan and Rommie and they should. They had lost their family too. But he figured they didn't have to watch the slow destructive process. Everyone they new died instantly. No blood, no gore just poof. Harper remembered all the details. His parents, his cousins, his friends. Then again maybe that's why he couldn't deal with Trance. He never got to say good bye. He felt robbed, cheated even. Then instantly there was someone to take her place. Now Beka, he brain eluded the questions. He couldn't think about her on the burn acid in the pit of his stomach threatened to over whelm him. No he would never have to say good bye to her. He placed his forehead against the open panel. He felt nauseous.
Suddenly there was a hand on his cheek. He jumped and looked up. It was Trance. Harper back peddled a few feet away from her.
"Relax, I'm not mad at you anymore."
"Yeah well the feeling isn't mutual."
Trance ignored the snipe comment. "Are you feeling ok you felt warm?" Then she went on with out waiting for the answer. "We need you to help with Beka."
