Out of love for you. (Part 2)
The drift was a rabbit warren of corridors and chambers. Tyr and Beka where sent to find the Slipfighter, while Dylan and Trance looked for Rommie. The dock-master had no idea where Rommie had gone, just that she had said that the fighter would be collected later. Dylan turned to Trance, "Any idea's?" Trance shrugged, "We could try the bars?" Dylan was about to point out that Rommie was an android, so didn't drink, when he remembered her tendency to be right about things like that.
In the second bar they tried, they saw Rommie talking to a man in the far corner. Dylan cried out, "Rommie!" Trance knocked him out of the way of the blast of gunfire that erupted from the other side of the bar. He got back to his feet in time to see Rommie draw her forcelance and point it at him. He ducked, and the bottles on the bar behind him exploded in a shower of glass and alcohol. A second blast kept his head down as Rommie and the mysteries stranger ran for the exit.
Dylan got to his feet again, his own forcelance drawn, but there was no sign of Rommie. He span round when Beka and Tyr came chagrining through the door, weapons drawn. Try surveyed the damage, "What happened?" Trance stood, shaking with shock, "Rommie shot at us!" Beka tapped her communicator, "Harper, did you delete all of the virus that Gabriel infected Rommie with?" The engineer sounded confused, "As far as I know. Rommie said it was completely erased." Beka cut the link before Harper could ask any questions, "Dylan, there are Free Trade Alliance mercenaries on the drift looking for Restors."
Dylan's fist hit the bar-top hard enough to knock over several glasses, "Ok, let's get back to the Maru, Tyr, you take the Slipfighter. Rommie is obviously still infected by the virus Gabriel used on her." He tapped his communicator "Andromeda, scan all ship's leaving the Drift, see if you can find witch one Rommie's on. We're on our way back now."
