Dylan and Tyr had a plan. They were going to jump up and attack the Guards, take their weapons and hope the others would surrender without at much of a fight. They hoped that Rommie and Beka would join the fun too. It didn't go exactly as planed. "On he count of three" Dylan said "one, tw-"

Tyr jumped up and kicked The Shadower closest to him throwing the whole plan off balance. One of the others grabbed Trance and held a gun to her head. "I will shoot her if you don't sit down. I might shoot her anyway but you'll just have to see." It said. They could all tell that it was grinning under the skin, or armour I should say. Dylan sat down and when Tyr didn't follow he gave him an order. The Shadower that was holding Trance spun her around and backhanded her across the face so hard that I knocked her out. She fell to the floor with a thump. "If any of you try that again, she'll be the price to pay" he thrusted a hand towards a limp Trance. He walked away, but as he was doing so he turned back and said to the guards: "They said they needed her alive. Not conscious." He said just loud enough so the crew could hear it too. Once he had left, Beka rushed to Trances side. She pulled her up to the wall they were leaning against. After a while, Trance woke up with a mutter of Harper. They all rushed to her side (accept for Tyr who stayed behind thinking of a new plan). Beka helped her sit up and propped her against the wall. She looked terrible. She felt terrible. She felt guilty and lost and alone. She tried to convince Dylan that she was alright with a smile but even a small child would know that there was no truth to it. Dylan notice how protective she was being of her. Something was bothering her. He made a note to talk to her about it as he was protective about her and didn't want to see her hurting like Trance was
