Dylan struggled to push his aching body off the deck floor. "Rommie report!" He managed to gasp.
"We're being boarded."
"Locate Tyr tell him to meet me in the armory." Shouted Dylan
"Aye, Captain." And Andromeda disappeared.
Dylan called over to Beka and felt her pulse. She was unconscious. He felt along her neck trying to sense any critical injuries. He found none and he slowly rolled her over. A groan murmured through her lips.
"Beka, you with me?"
"What's goin' on?" She slurred.
"Can you stand?" He helped her to her feet. She seemed unsteady and it worried him they needed to hurry. Beka reached up for her head and it came back wet with blood. "It's not bad really." He pulled the hem off his turtleneck shirt and used it to bind his first officer's forehead. "I need to go. We're being boarded. Do you think you can find Harper and Trance?"
Beka gave a nod. "Who is it?"
"I don't know but I plan on finding out." With that he jogged from the room to meet Tyr.
Beka waved some of the smoke away from her face and followed him off the bridge at a slightly slower pace.

Harper woke slowly. He felt nothing at first. In fact he wasn't really sure he was awake. He felt numb. Then the pain greeted Harper back to the world of the conscious. He grit his teeth but a loud groan escaped. He flinched involuntarily. The two inches he managed to move caused him to convulse with pain. His body decided it was too much to bare and soul ran back to the darkness to hide.

Trance crawled out from underneath a table in the hydroponics bay. Just seconds before a large explosion destroyed the wall she was standing near she manage to dive to safety. The roomed had filled with smoke. She coughed slightly and made her way out in to the hall.
Just as she stepped out she was nearly trampled by Tyr and Dylan. They were loaded down with weaponry. "Trance!" Dylan shouted over his shoulder "Find Beka she's hurt."
"Rommie." She called. "Located Beka please."
Rommie voice crackled through the hallway. "She's in corridor fifty two."
"Thank you." She made her way to Beka. She wanted to help wherever she could. She couldn't help but feel though that the situation would get worse before it got better.

Again Harper blinked himself awake. A light torn from its mount blinked sporadically four feet away from his face. Ever so often sparks would fly from some unknown source. He slowly forced his eyes to focus as he glanced around the small area. His eyes widened as he realized what happened. There was an explosion and from the vibration he could fell through the ships body they were still under attack. What ever they had been hit with had caused the conduit it was in to collapse. He swallowed loudly. The conduit he was in was only two levels above the large expansion that held the slipstream core. Hohne, his friend and mentor, had fallen to his death there.
Well he told him self. He was still alive and he planned on staying that way. He slowly took stock of his situation. His right shoulder was firmly pinned between the wall plating and a support beam. His collarbone felt broken beneath the beam. The sleeve of his other hand was snagged on something and he could only move it as far as the stretching material would allow. Well so far not so good. His thoughts flew back to when Tyr and him had been on the Magog world ship. Tyr had used his legs alone to kill a Magog.
Harper tried to move his legs. One leg swung freely but unfortunately it was into open air and he could find anything to brace him self on. When he tried to move his other leg and he nearly passed out again. A rebar pipe of some sort and had pierced his leg like an arrow. The pipe ran completely through his leg. He groaned and rested his head on his good shoulder. "Lassie, Jimmy's stuck in the well." He whispered then laughed at his own desperate situation.
He felt tired and desperately wanted to sleep.
"Rommie!" He called. But her pretty face did not appear. "Rommie?" He pleaded with the empty disheveled walls. What if the others were hurt or worse? His paranoia caused horrible thoughts to race through his exhausted mind. "Rommie, please! Don't leave me here by myself!" But his pleas went unheard. "Please!" he called out again.
His only reply was his failing light. It gave one more pathetic flash then stopped. The darkness was complete and encompassing.
