"Dylan it's been years now since the commonwealth has been formed up, why not retire and retire Andromeda?" Beka asked. "Retire this ship? She is still in the best condition I couldn't leave Andromeda. She is my life and my home now. " Dylan said. "Dylan," Rommie started, "They could put a new captain in charge and give her- me more of a crew and a new aviator." "Rommie I've been with you for over 300 years, I didn't leave you then and I certainly am not leaving you until the day I die." Dylan said. "You know you are more stubborn now then you were 311 years ago." Rommie said. "You've calculated all that time?" Dylan asked. "That's not including the years before going into the black hole." Rommie said. "You make me feel old." Angel said. "How is that? He and I are the oldest two here." Rommie said. "I wouldn't count on that if I were you." Angel and Trance said in unison. "What are you saying?" Tyr asked. "Well I'm four centuries old. And Trance is 3.5 centuries old." Angel said. "So you're going to out live me?" Harper asked. "No, if I hadn't married you and given birth to you twice I would live until one of my people killed me or died of the age of 1,000 years old. Since I have done what I have done I am now mortal. It feels great." Angel said. "So you knew about the fall and me and the whole black hole thing?" Rommie asked. "We all did. But we had nothing to do with it. Honest." Trance said. "What about our children Angel?" Harper asked. "They are mortal too. The day I married you is the day I became mortal, but we keep our powers. I think that the children will eventually have kids and grandchildren that will be powerless, unless they decide to marry back into the planet and the government decides to give them immortality or their spouse mortality." Angel said. "Great." Harper said. "This is why we didn't want to tell you about our people or the whole truth of us." Trance said. "Harper I still love you." Angel said. Harper handed Michael back to her and walked out, he wouldn't listen to any of them. He went weeks with out talking to Angel; he wouldn't even sleep with her and the children. Angel finally made up her mind to go home and live there. She packed and left in the middle of the night a couple weeks later. She left notes for the crew telling them she was leaving. She only told Harper and Trance in their notes that she was going home and wouldn't return unless Harper wanted her too. Trance sat up. "Dim the lights Andromeda." "Is everything alright Trance?" She asked. "Where's Angel?" "She and her children left a couple hours ago, she left you a note on your nightstand." Andromeda answered back. "Oh no." Trance said after she red the note. "What is it?" "She went home and refuses to return unless Harper goes and tells her to come back." Trance said getting up. She went and woke Harper up. Andromeda woke the rest of the crew up. "Harper this is your fault. Go and tell her to come back her." Trance scolded him. "I would be happy to Trance but you wanna know what I don't care anymore." He snapped back at her. "She did what she did for you out of love. She loves you Harper but I guess you are way to blind to see the love she and the children all have for you. Or is it that you are running away from it because you know that all the people you love have died? Well this crew loves you and we are still here! Go get your family and bring them back!" Trance snapped at him dragging him to command by the ear. The whole crew was there. "Where do we look for her first?" Dylan asked. "Her home planet. But only Harper can go talk to her!" Trance said angrily. "And why is that?" Dylan asked.
