Beka woke up feeling......hyper. She couldn't explain it any more than that. She just felt REALLY hyper. Bouncing out of the bed, she walked toward the shower. Stripping out of her clothes, she stepped under the water, when she felt her mind being tugged somewhere else. She slumped down on the floor.
Looking around, she realized she was in Andromeda's AI. She wondered how in the hell she had gotten there!
'Oh yeah. The curse.' She thought. 'Must be feeling what Harper is feeling now. Great. Fantastic.' She figured she might as well enjoy it. This will be about the only time she'll ever get to venture inside Andromeda.
--Machine Shop
Harper's body sat on the floor, while his mind was wondering around Andromeda.
"Now, where did I put that file?" Harper mummered to himself.
"Harper, you've got to get out now." Rommie's holo popped up.
"What? Why?"
"The curse. Beka, Tyr, and Dylan are feeling everything you're feeling now. Including your mind being in here!" Rommie just hoped they all wouldn't pick up Harper's.........charming characteristics.
"Oh. Alright then, I can always find this file later. Nothing really important." Harper said, exiting the virtual reality.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Tyr walked down one of the halls of Andromeda. Having been finally released from that AI hell he had a craving for sparky cola. Passing Rommie in the hall he turned and said "Hey Romdoll."
Tyr stopped and slapped a hand over his mouth. He did NOT just say that. 'I didn't say that. It's all in my mind. I'm not attracted to an andriod.' Tyr nodded to himself and began walking towards the Mess hall again.
"Hey Tyr." Dylan looked up from where he was sipping a sparky cola.
"Dylan."
"How are you coping with feeling everything Harper does?" Dylan asked.
"It's.......very complicated. That boy is a walking hard on!" Tyr exclaimed.
"Yeah. I wonder how HE can put up with himself. Every time I see Rommie I have to go adjust myself." Dylan sipped more of the sparky. "And what's this obsession with sparky cola? I've drank 8 today and it's only 10 in the morning!"
"I don't know. At first I thought it was just a human thing. But after seeing Beka leer at Rommie for 30 minutes and not notice herself doing it.......I'm beginning to think it's just a Harper thing."
"Beka leered at Rommie?" Dylan snickered.
"Yes. Then proceeded to run out of Command Deck and lock herself in the Maru." Tyr smiled. "Payback is sweet."
At that moment, Rommie walked in the room. "Dylan, I just wanted to let you know that the repairs on the slipdrive are going to take a little longer. Harper has to completely dismantle it to get to the mechanical failure." Rommie thrust her chest out a bit. 'Oh yes Tyr, payback is sweet!' Rommie thought of all the time's Tyr had been rude to her. 'Well take this!'
"Oh, Dylan. You dropped your sparky cola. Here, let me clean it up." Rommie bent over and wiped up the spilled cola.
"*cough cough* Rommie, I'll just be uhh, in my quaters if you don't mind." Dylan ran out.
"Me too." Tyr ran towards the exersice room.
"Hehehehehehe." Rommie chuckled.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Dylan sat down on his bed. As long as he stayed away from Andromeda or Rommie, he would be fine. Except for that sparky cola craving and the super hyper feeling.
"Dylan, report to Command. We're getting a hail from an Rustarian ship." Andromeda's holo popped up.
Dylan quickly averted his eyes. He didn't need to embarras himself in front of the Rustarians.
"Going there now."
--Command Deck
Dylan looked up at the Rustarian officer.
"Captain Hunt, I am here to see how you and your crew are progressing."
"You mean the curse? Well, we're feeling what it's like to be each other. When will you release us from the curse?" 'Please soon, please today! I hate feeling what Harper feels!'
"Oh, you're only halfway finished. It will wear off by itself in 15 more days."
Dylan thought he saw the officer smile. 'They're probably getting a kick out of this.' Dylan put on his best glare.
"How are my crew and I supposed to work like this?"
"Simple. Take a break. Don't work for 15 days. I don't think 15 days will matter much. If you all go through with it fully, our leader will sign on with the Commonwealth. You must understand, this curse is to help you feel what the rest of your crewmates feel. It should help you in times of great stress."
"Well what about Rommie or Trance? Why aren't they under the curse?"
The officer paused for a second. "Ah. Trance Gemini. She already understands. More than she should. And Rommie is a andriod, made to follow orders." The officer turned around and spoke to someone behind him. "Well, Captain Hunt, we will hopefully see you in 15 days. Rustarians out."
The connection was cut, and Dylan watched as the Rustarians transitted to slipstream.
"Great. Only 15 more days. Woohoo." Dylan wondered if it was possible to strangle one self.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Dylan and Tyr spent most of their time away from Trance and Rommie for the next 5 days. How Harper got through life without jumping everything on two legs was a miracle.
On the 6th day, Harper got up feeling the need to exersice. Something that he never felt before.
"Uh oh." Harper knew what it was. He just hoped he could survive the next 9 days.
