As they followed Trance, Tyr was grumbling. "Is this really necessary?"
"Yes." Dylan was emphatic. "She's a crew member and as such we go after her. No matter how stupid you think what she did was." He added, before Tyr could say another word.
So they continued to follow Trance, who was following her sense of urgency. Nobody said a word. Questions were pointless with Trance; everyone knew that. Still, Dylan did trust Trance, although he could not have told you why. And Tyr? There was no way of knowing, but he did continue to follow.
They continued walking untill Trance came to a sudden hatlt. "There, over there." She pointed to where there had been an avalanche and where there was lots of snow piled up. "She's under there."
Dylan and Tyr sprinted towards it and began digging frantically. They uncovered Beka. She was cold and still. Was she dead? She wasn't breathing, but Dylan checked for a pulse anyway and found a faint one. "We've got to get her back to the Andromeda." He slung her over his shoulder and they raced back the way they had come.
