Chapter 5
Meanwhile, on the Andromeda, Dylan and Rommie were monitoring the Maru, which was still on the other side of the wormhole. Suddenly, Rommie got a concerned look on her face and looked at Dylan. "Dylan, I just stopped receiving data from the Maru," she said, "They were just about to tell me something, and then...nothing." Dylan jumped up and ran over by Rommie. "Could it be just a glitch? Maybe there's some disturbance on the other side of the wormhole," Dylan said as he walked back, "We have to go in." Dylan waited to hear Rommie's disapproval, but hearing nothing, said, "How strange, you think it's a good idea." "Actually, I think it's very foolish to risk the entire Andromeda for the Maru...but we need them, Dylan." said Rommie. Suddenly, the ship jerked and began moving toward the wormhole. "I'm guessing you didn't do that." said Rommie, grabbing on to the console and trying to stop the runaway Andromeda. "We're being pulled again," said Dylan, "I hate getting pulled in!" Rommie tried to go into full reverse, but it was as if the ship would no longer listen to her. "Dylan, this isn't just mechanical error. There's a ship around here somewhere doing this to us." Rommie said, struggling to contact the ship's AI. "But who would..." Dylan started to say, but as he spoke, the ship tumbled in to the wormhole. When it emerged on the other side, Dylan and Rommie both stood up. "Rommie, try to find the Maru." Dylan said. Rommie looked at him and said, "I did, and I found something else. The wormhole...Dylan, it 's gone."
