"Dylan, we could all retire and live on my planet." Angel said.
"Oh no. No way." Harper started.
"Why not? I mean Andromeda could be retired and stay planet side there and
not be messed with. The children grow up in a nice environment."
"And you and your children and Trance are the only one's with powers. I
mean how are the other children suppose to feel?" Tyr asked.
"Oh come on Tyr, would you just listen to yourself. You sound like this is
a death wish. Dylan, the Andromeda will be placed where ever you want it to
be and you will have a say as to who gets access to her or not." Angel
said.
"I like Angel's idea, Dylan. We all could use the retirement and the
children will be able to make more friends." Beka said.
"You are willing to retire on a planet?" Harper asked. "Aren't you the one
who said that you hated planets?"
"Ok that was how long ago? Come on we are all going over the hill. Dylan
lets all retire. I mean the only one of us who won't die for some time is
Trance and even then who knows what'll happen. It'll do us all a lot of
good." Beka said. They all pleaded with Dylan, Tyr started pleading with
them too.
"Ok, fine. We are retiring. But we will all need some kind of job while
living down there for some kind of money." Dylan said. They all agreed. Two
weeks later they were all living on Pisces in the same street. They all had
jobs, various jobs, too. The kids grew and moved out at the appropriate
times and got married. They had their own children and the original crew of
the Andromeda had died of old age. Rommie died too, her persona on the
Andromeda lived her aviator eventually died off too. Trance died once she
hit her 1,000th birthday. The children and their families took over caring
for the Andromeda, Eureka Maru and the Maria Louise.
"Andromeda, you are the oldest and best high guard ship around. People from
all over come to take tours of you. Never forget the love we had for you
and we will always be in your heart. Captain Dylan Rhys Hunt, First Officer
Rebecca "Beka" Marie Anasazi, Weapons Officer Tyr Anasazi, of the Kodiac
pride, Engineer Seamus Z. Harper- also known as Harper, Environmental
Officer Angel Harper, Medical Officer Trance Gemini, Rev. Bem our reverend,
Rommie Hunt- my wife. The children Shay, Grace and Michael Harper,
Anastasia and Daniel Hunt and Ahren and Victoria Anasazi who are also the
youngest among us are this ships' laughter and joy. Hunt and crew out." The
message was played at the end of all the tours. As the families grew the
more pictures that were hung, after about the 10th generation each of the
four families had about 200 or so members. Next to the picture Angel had
painted was a picture of Harper's tattoo. On that picture the commonwealth
symbol was finished. Not only did the commonwealth survive it was ensured
to never die with the help of the Piscine's. The Vedrans eventually came
back out of hiding and the empress took charge as the head of the
commonwealth. They aided themselves along side with the people in the
Zodiac system. Together they helped the commonwealth live longer then
anyone ever dreamed.
