Well I think it's been the worst week of my life but I need the distraction so I hope this doesn't suck to bad....

The tesseract device lay in pieces on Harper's workbench. He looked at it briefly before he grabbed one of the smaller pieces from it and inserted it into the molecular manipulator. He had taken the tesseract device apart but he still felt reluctant to use any of the pieces. This was Hohne' stuff, his last bit of genius before he died. It should be sent to a museum or something.
Rommie appeared beside him.
"Trance is on the bridge she asked you to hurry."
"I know!" he snapped "I'm not a Perseid genius, this takes time."
"Harper..." but Rommie paused unsure of what to say.
"It's OK Rommie" he waved his hand towards the hologram. "I'm sorry I snapped."
He looked back at the molecular manipulator. It was a bit of the device he used to blow up Walter, A bit of Hohne'' technology that he had added to the tesseract device, and a bit of Harper.
For the first time doubts started to enter his mind. Hohne was the real genius. What made him think he could save Beka. What if Beka really died. He felt that acidy feeling in the pit of his stomach again. He took a deep breath and pushed the thought away.
He put one of Trance's small plants on the table. He didn't even think the new Trance had looked at them since she arrived. He was probably doing it a favour. Not having to face the wrath of his best friend made that acidy feeling grow. He aimed the device at the plant. "Rev where ever you are pray that this works." He whispered and turned it on.
The molecular device hummed for a minute shaking the whole workbench. For a minute it didn't work, then like some invisible man with an eraser the plant began to fade and finally it disappeared all together. Harper smiled. Now if he could get it to work in reverse...

Trance stood on the bridge with her eyes closed. She was silent and the rest of the crew looked on with curiosity. She swayed slightly and a purple light surrounded her now golden skin. She was trying to reach Beka. Trance could feel the others around her but she focused her thoughts on Beka.
"Beka," she thought, "don't leave us we need you, especially Harper, he needs you more then you know."
"Trance?" Came the whispered question in her head.
Trance reached out with her mind "Beka don't go!" but she could feel her fading even more.
Just then Harper dashed onto the bridge with loud clumping feet startling Trance. She blinked twice trying to focus on her surroundings.
"I think I figured it out!" he shouted in his hand he held a small silver device the size of a coffee mug. She also noted he had some sort of weird green goo splattered on her shirt, she reminded her self to ask later.
