Out of love for you. (Part 10)

Dylan took the forcelance, "What's going on Rommie?" The Avatar blinked, "FTA forces are attacking the Restor fleet, and I'm firing on the Restors home-base." Dylan was about to respond when Tyr, Beka, Harper, Trance and Rev Bem ran through the hatch, weapons drawn.

Dylan turned to face them, "Beka, take the helm. Tyr, weapons. Trance, Rev, escort our 'guests' to the brig. Harper, find out what's going on with my ship's AI." The crew ran to their assigned duties, Beka jumping into the vacated pilots seat, Tyr taking over the weapons control panel. The Restors took one look at Rev Bem and decided not to resist and he led them to the brig, Trance bringing up the rear.

Harper went back into VR. He was surprised to find most of the damage was fixed. He started to work on the link between Andromeda and Rommie when Andromeda appeared before him, "Harper, I'm sorry about you getting hit by that Restor. Rommie didn't make me aware of her plans." Harper shrugged, "I've had worse. And what is Rommie's game? Dylan sent me in here to find- out, and if you ask me, he's not very happy about all this."

Andromeda nodded, "I understand that, but it is something that Rommie needs to tell him herself. It's personal."
