Hey there!
I just wanted to thank all people for their review. And want to introduce
you to my new/old story "CHAINREACTION"
Most characters are borrowed from the show "Andromeda", but one really important figure is mine. Anyways, I just do this for fun. Hope you´ll enjoy this!!!

For five minutes he stood at one of the little sales booths and looked down at the beautiful necklace in his hands. His head slightly tilted to one side he thought about the pros and cons. Should he. or should he not? It was a really wonderful necklace, she would love it, he knew, but. what if she would misunderstand the purpose of his gift? His head tilted now onto the other side, and still he couldn't come to a decision.
Beka had been watching Harper now for some time. It was amusing to see him acting like this and she couldn't understand what it was that took him so long. Curiously she sneaked up behind him, tiptoed to see what it was that kept him so entranced. As she saw the necklace in his hands she started grinning. Slowly her mouth neared his ear. With Harper still in deep thought, he was an easy victim. A deep inhale and she blew in his ear.
Harper's reaction was breathtaking, literally. He bolted up and almost crashed into one of the tables as his heart skipped a beat. His left hand crept up to his chest, trying to calm his racing heart as he scowled at her.
"Beka! Damn it!"
She snickered. "You should have seen yourself." After a little while she had calmed down enough to ask him: "But seriously, what are you doing here?" An everlasting grin seemed to be plastered all over her face as her nodded at the necklace.
"Uhm... Well." he started. His cheek started to turn into a healthy red. "Why. you see, last time we went on a supply-run something really stupid happened." he stopped and sighed deeply. "Trance saw this nice necklace on the Caesar-Drift. and. you know, then we got in trouble with those security- guys. and, well.'I' was in trouble with the security-guys," he corrected himself after a short pause, "so we had to run like the devil himself was after us and had to leave the Drift. and, when I saw the necklace here, I remembered how sad Trance looked after that incident. and, well. I thought that. maybe. I should give it to her." He finally ended his little story seeing his boss smiling down at him.
"Harper, "she started,"that's a wonderful idea. Trance´ll love it. But how about if you try to hurry a little? We have to be back in exactly," her gaze fell upon her wrist and searched the watch above the communication- system, "10 minutes. so get going."
Harper grinned at his boss "Thanks Bek, you're the best." With that he closed his hand with the necklace into a fist and went to pay for it.
Soon they left the shop together, never sensing the presence following them. It was like the shadows themselves started after them. Moving blackness with no consistence, not even a face so it seemed.
* Back at the Eureka Maru *
Of course they ran late. As they reached the Maru they could see the impatient figure of Tyr on the lookout for them. His arms crossed over his chest as he stood at the airlock of the Eureka Maru. Beka sighed deeply, Harper groaned. Both tried their charmiest smile as they reached the huge man.
"Hey Tyr, my favourite Nietzschean, how are you doing?" Harper tried.
"Another word and you'll be able to watch yourself walking when I twist your head around." Was the nice reply of Tyr.
Beka stepped in. "See it the positive way Harper. At least no one can get you in the back then." She nodded and hastily added: "Absolute body advantage." With that she walked past Tyr and gave him a dirty look.
"You know Tyr, when Beka's right, she's right." Harper said and did it like his boss. Passing the Uber with a big smile.
Tyr stood there in the doorway for a moment thinking about what he had just heard. "Humans, how could one race possibly think in that twisted ways."
"But I'm hungry, Dylan. "
Beka and Harper could hear Trances little-child-like-voice. A short but hearty laugh, Dylan's, was her answer.
"Trance, please would you just sit down and wait for the rest of the crew to show up."
Harper entered the room loudly. "You called, here we are, oh mighty boss! Gotta think about a new answer."
Dylan scratched the back of his head.
"Ohhh, come on, Dylan. We could really go get some food before we leave this planet for the Andromeda." Beka pleaded.
"Yup, I'm hungry as well... I bought machine-parts all the morning for my favourite star-ship." Harper now helped out.
Both turned in surprise as they could hear the low voice of Tyr: "Because I know you don't bother with what I think, I'll just hold back every kind of comment and go with your decision."
Trances face lit up in anticipation.
"Well, looks like it is three against one then. I love democracy." Harper squealed.
Ten minutes later the Crew of the Eureka Maru left their ship again to go and get some food. Their first meal on the surface of a planet for a year.
The figure knew that now its time had come. With one of its hand it brought up an ancient looking communication-system, as it softly brushed the hull of the Maru.
"Sir, they're gone." The creature talked in its nasal voice.
"You know what you have to do." Was the only reply.
"Yes, sir." It acknowledged.
With quick hands the figure started working on the airlock, and only seconds later a loud hiss could be heard and Maru's doors opened. The creature with the hood made sure no one had seen him working on the airlock, and then vanished into the ship.
