Escape!

When Harper and Tyr saw the three Nietzscheans, including Justaice, blocking their way they had no time to waste. Before long two of the three Nietzscheans were on the floor unconscious.

Tyr was still grappling with Justaice, and Harper was trying to convince his feet to move closer so that he could help, when suddenly Justaice fell lifelessly to the floor with a hole in his chest where his heart used to be. Tyr was standing over him with his still charged force lance in his hand. The other three crewmembers were waiting at the end of the stage, although their hands were still electronically locked together, causing simple movement to be difficult.

Tyr led the five of them through the exit, with Harper in the back covering their escape. Anyone that rose to his feet, Harper shot with his blaster, thereby incapacitating him. After the last crewmember left the room Tyr set up the force field device and quickly led the others to the upper floor, where the roof connected to a nearby house. The battered crew only came upon four other guards which were easily taken out by Tyr as they approached their position.

"This way." Tyr exclaimed after seeing the proper ledge from the blueprints Malick obtained. Quietly the others followed the Nietzschean out the window and over the roof until they were on top of the building directly to the right of the auction house.

All of them let out a collective sigh in relief but, continued their journey without talking as they came to the street. From there it took them only thirty minutes of light jogging to get back to the Maru, where upon Dylan, Beka and Trance all started asking questions at once.

"The Nietzscheans will be on our trail soon. I suggest we get off this planet before we answer your questions." Tyr said, making his way to the cockpit to pilot the ship off of Braxus 7.

"Come on guys." Harper smirked. "Let's take a look at those bracelets. They're nice but they don't really match your shirt, boss."

"Harper." Beka Valentine growled. "Just get these off. I am not in the mood."

"Calm down. Trust in the Harper." Harper murmured, ignoring the jerking of the ship as the Eureka Maru disembarked, concentrating on the locking mechanism.

Just before the Maru boarded the Andromeda seven minutes later, Harper had all of the restraints removed and laying harmlessly at his feet.

"Come on… repeat after me. The Harper is good."

"Can it, Harper." Beka said irritably, as they collectively made their way to Medbay as Rommie set a course away from the planet.

"Aww, you know you love me, Beka."
