Andromeda
"The Hidden Commonwealth"
Chapter 2


"Where have you been Alyssa?" a young man asked as Noelani walked in.

"No where."

"Like always?"

"Everyone thinks that I'm Noelani, not Alyssa."

"My Alyssa," he said pulling her into his arms.

"So, how are repairs going?"

"Repairs are ahead of schedule, we can leave tomorrow morning."

"Supplies?"

"We're restocked."

"What would I do without you?"

"Be lost in the stars forever?"

"Umm...maybe not THAT lost," Alyssa said laughing putting her arm around her friend.

"Any interesting people today?"

"Famous even."

"Famous? Ohh...Drago Musevni?" he asked and Alyssa started laughing. "Obviouisly not...then...a Vedran Empress?"

"No, but sort of close."

"Close, huh?" he asked. "Vedran? Blue? The Commonwealth?"

"Go with that," Alyssa prompted.

"Commonwealth? Tarn Vedra? The Vedrans? The Battle of Witchhead? It's been gone for more than 300 years? The Andromeda?"

"Stop!"

"The Andromeda?" he repeated, Alyssa nodded and he frowned. "The Andromeda Ascendant? The Andromeda had an AI referred to as Rommie? Captain Dylan Hunt? Beka Valentine? Trance Gemini?..."

"All of thee above."

"Wait! You saw Hunt, Valentine, AND Gemini on the station?"

"AND Rommie," Alyssa added.

"And?"

"And our cover is kept. They didn't suspect me as anyone other than Noelani. We'll be home soon and no one will suspect anything."

"Then let's be sure that we ALL keep a low profile."

"Good thinking Parker," Alyssa said as she and Parker headed to their quarters.
