Disclaimer: I do not own Andromeda. (No shit.) I do not make a profit from
this work although I wish I did. Ha.
Author's Notes (AN): This chapter sucks and I have no idea where the hell this story is going. (Maybe I should change the rating.) If this is not true to the characters in ANY way PLEASE TELL ME I'm trying to write something that I and others can view as a real episode. (Again, not literally, although that would be really cool. ^.^) right, anyways, onto the story.
The Discovery:
*View is on Dylan standing on the bridge.*
"Trance, I think you should have a look at Harper." Andromeda's voice rang through the air.
*Dylan turns and looks at Trance who doesn't look surprised.*
"What's wrong with him now?" Dylan asked the hologram in front of him.
"He's locked himself in Machine Shop 17." She looks up as if listening. "And now he's telling me we're about to be attacked." She paused and looked up again. "Dylan, a heavily armed ship just came out of slipstream." The image popped up on the view screen. "And their firing."
The ship lurched again. "Hull breach-"
*scene changes to Harper who interrupts on the com. Finishing Andromeda's sentence*
"-level eight, section seventeen. No way, I'm not going and you can't make me."
*Back to the bridge.*
"Harper!"
"It's alright Dylan. I'll do it." Trance speaks up from behind him. Dylan nods at her. Trance walked briskly off the bridge.
*Trance is walking down the corridors while talking to Harper. The scene changes back and forth between their sentences.*
"Harper, how did you know we were going to be attacked?"
"Oh, I see, its okay for you to be all-*imitates Trance*- there are many possibilities. There may be a perfect one, but this probably isn't it."
"Harper, I need to know."
*Harper sighs and got up off the floor of the machine shop where he'd been sitting.*
"Trance, don't touch any thing. I'm on my way."
*Back to the bridge*
"Dylan, Harper's on his way to the hull breach."
"Good, Tyr return -"
"- uh, boss, that's a good plan and all, but the warheads aren't active so if our oh, so helpful little Nietzschean could direct his attention to the little, red flashing light to his right and push the button directly beneath it." Harper interrupts on the com.
"You are beginning to irritate me boy."
"Glad to be of service!"
*Tyr reaches down and presses the button then proceeds to fire on all the ships destroying all but one, which is crippled. Dylan quickly snapped out an order for Beka and Tyr to follow him to the Maru to go to the newly crippled ship while ordering Harper not to look at the object when he and Trance go retrieve it.*
*The scene switches to Tyr walking on the deck of the crippled ship. His weapon is drawn, but apparently no one is there. Beka walks up behind him her weapon is down by her side. Tyr hears her walking up to him and turns quickly with his weapon leveled with her face.*
"Well, aren't we jumpy? There's no one here, Tyr." She finishes her sentence just has a small bundle of energy (AN: Not literally) jumps onto Tyr's back trying to make him drop his weapon. Tyr throws "him" into the far wall rendering "him" unconscious. Beka walks up to the small.HUMAN! She turns back to Tyr and keeps her cool.*
"It's Harper." She says simply.
(AN: Imagine the commercial break. Also the quote in the prologue was originally said by Countee Cullen. The names Urda Verdandi Skuld were three Norns who guarded the roots of Yggdrasil and Urda's well in Norse mythology.)
