Authors note: this story takes place during series one, after Star-Crossed, but before It Makes A Lovely Light.

Out of love for you. (Part 6)

Harper paced the observation deck, "How could this have happened? There was no trace of the virus in ether Andromeda or Rommie, and now this!" Andromeda's hologram appeared before him, and he almost walked through her, "I can't speak for my Avatar, but there is not trace of the virus in my system." Tyr laughed, "Forgive me if I find little comfort in that statement. There was no trace of any virus in your Avatar, at least none that the professor here could find."

Harper span round, "And what is that supposed to mean?" Tyr stood-up, "Perhaps if you spent lest time flirting with your love-dole and more time fixing it, this might never have happened!" Harper looked ready to throw a punch, but Trance interceded, "Well I for one believe Andromeda. Harper, is there any way you can fix the like between her and Rommie from in here?"

Harper shrugged, "Maybe. Most of the remaining damage is corrupted software; If Andromeda is willing to give me un-restricted access to her higher-functions, I should be able to fix the link. But it may enable the virus to cross over. If that happens, we may as well hand the ship to the Restors, because they will have complete computer control." Beka walked across to Harper, "How likely is that?" Harper Shrugged, "50/50?" Beka turned to Andromeda's hologram, "It's your call."

The hologram nodded, "Do it."
