~*/A.N./*~ Thanks everyone for all of the reviews. I absolutely love them,
and yes Luna Fox I fixed the chapter where I had Tyr let go of Harper
twice. I really didn't even notice. Oh and Damn it Chelsey! Quit being
so critical! J/K. You know I love yah. Well, now I guess that it's time
for the story! YAY!! P.S. I got glasses yesterday (Sunday). So now I can
see what I'm typing!

"So, what are we gonna do with her?" Beka asked Dylan from the pilots' station.
"Who?" Dylan asked, while working on a console.
"Isa. Who'd yah think." Beka snapped.
"Beka, there are four women running around this ship. How am I supposed to know which one your talking about?" Beka glared at him, "Okay. Well, I guess she's going to have to stay here."
"What!?!"
"Beka, there's nowhere else for her to go."
"Well yeah, but Harper's real uncomfortable with her."
"He seemed more than fine when she first woke up."
"Yeah, but-"
"He'll be fine."
"Yeah, I guess so. Hey, she said that she was on her way to Sinti to show them this technology, right?"
"Yeah."
"So, she was probably supposed to present it to the Persids so that they could present it to the Commonwealth." Beka offered.
"Maybe."
"Well, then wouldn't she have the tech on her ship?"
"Yes, she would."
"So, shouldn't we go look for it? Maybe Harper and Rommie could see if they could find a way to detect ships that are using it."
"I'll ask her when she feels better."
"Fine."
The next day:
"Isa. Time to wake up." Trance said as she gently shook Isa's shoulder.
"Huh? What? I'll fix it!" Isa blurted out half awake.
"How are you feeling?" Trance giggled.
"Surprisingly better." She replied ribbing her eyes and stretching.
"That's good. Did you sleep well?"
"Yep, like a baby, not that I'm not one. How'd you sleep?"
"Very well thank you." Trance smiled.
"HARPER WAKE UP!" Andromeda's voice boomed through the young engineers room.
"No!" Was his muffled reply, he had buried his head under the covers when Andromeda had turned on the lights.
"HARPER NOW!"
"Do I have to Rommie?"
"Yes, you're late for you shift on command and Beka's beginning to get worried."
"Oh, alright." He said as he threw the covers off his head. He got up and walked sleepily to his closet.
"Nice pants." Rommie commented sarcastically.
"Hahaha. Very funny." He was searing a pair of pajama pants that were black and hunter-green checkered. He took out a pair of tan Cargo pants, a white T-shirt, and a blue and white-checkered short sleeve over shirt.
"You really like checkered things that much?" The hologram smiled. Harper glared at her and quickly got dressed. He also put on a pair of black socks and a pair of black combat boots. He went to the bathroom spiked his hair, left his room, and went to command.
When he got to command Beka turned as he entered.
"Where have you been!? I was worried!" She bellowed form her station.
"I overslept." HE replied truthfully and then walked to his station.
"So, you overslept huh?" Beka asked after a few minutes of silence.
"Yeah."
"Didn't you just take like a huge nap yesterday?"
"Yeah."
"Well, you didn't work that much. And you still overslept?"
"Yeah." Beka gave him a quizzical look, " I don't know what's wrong. I've just been tired a lot."
"Huh. Maybe Trance should take a look at you."
"Come on Valentine. I'm fine." He pasted a fake smile on his face and went back to his work. Despite Beka's look of belief she was worried about him.
"Doot-Doot-Doo-, Hey Rommie?"
"Yes?" Her disembodied voice answered.
"Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?"
"I don't know Isa. Why do you ask?"
"Just somethin' to do."
"May I come in?" Dylan politely asked from the doorway.
"Yeah, of course." Isa replied smiling at him.
"How are you feeling?" He asked walking over to the bed where she was laying. Isa sat up as he approached, and to her surprise; it didn't hurt.
"I'm feelin' great!" She exclaimed enthusiastically, " So great in fact, that Trance said that I should be good as new be this afternoon."
"This afternoon. That fast?"
"Yep. She was a little surprised by how fast I healed too. Hell, I'm surprised."
"Well, you'll have to have a tour later then."
"Yeah, I guess so. So did you come all the way down here for anything in particular?"
"Yes, actually I did come in here for something."
"Well, what is it?"
"First, you are welcome to stay here, on the Andromeda, as long as you would like."
"Really?"
"Yes really."
"Oh, thank you so much Dylan. You're a saint."
"I assure you I'm no said, just a guy trying to do the right thing." Isa looked at him for a moment.
"Nah. You're a saint." Dylan laughed and continued.
"And, when you're feeling better, I was wondering if you would permit Rommie and Harper to take a look at the cloaking technology that you have?"
"Uh, sure. I'll get it as soon as Trance releases me from what me and Rev are now calling my prison." Dylan looked at her weird, "the bed Dylan. Every time Rev comes to see me I'm in this stupid bed."
"Alright. Uh, thank you. Uh, I'm not sure I wanna ask this, but.Isa, do you have a crush on Harper?" Isa blushed bright red, and refused to look Dylan in the eye, "Is that a yes?" Isa nodded causing Dylan to smile, "You two would make a really cute couple. You know that."
"You think so?"
"Yeah. I'm sorry Isa, but I have to go."
"That's okay. See yah later Dylan."
"See yah later Isa." Dylan said then he left the room.
"Now, where did I put that nano-welder?" Harper asked himself looking around the machine shop.
"It's under you over shirt on the work bench." Andromeda's hologram shimmered into view.
"Oh, yeah." Harper said snapping his fingers and walking aver to the bench. He picked p the shirt and low-and-behold there was the nano-welder, "Thanks Rom Doll." He said cheerfully and then picked up the welder. He walked back to the coffee maker he was working on. Beka had asked him to fix it because "it made coffee so strong it could nock Tyr flat on his ass". And if it wasn't doing that it was making coffee so thick that it looked more like oil than coffee. So, Beka sent it to Harper to be fixed; she said that it was now his number one priority; Beka tends to get a little cranky without her morning coffee (therefore Dylan also said that Harper had to finish it, fast).
