"Rommie?" Trance said as she walked into the cockpit of the Maru. Rommie
stood behind Beka as she piloted. Dylan and Tyr were in crew quarters
reading.
"Yes Trance." Rommie replied turning around to face her.
"I didn't find anything about Harper." Trance informed.
"Find out what about Harper?" Beka asked from her position in the pilots seat.
"There's something wrong with Harper." Rommie told her plainly.
"Well, is he sick?" Beka asked worriedly.
"No, he just seems depressed." Rommie explained.
"But there really is something bothering him." Trance updated them.
"Did you talk to him?" Beka directed her question towards Trance.
"Yes I did." Trance replied.
"What exactly did he say?" Rommie inquired.
"At first all he would do was tell me to go away. Then he said that nothing was wrong, but then he said that he was a big boy and he could deal with his problems on his own. Then he told me to leave again." Trance notified them.
"He just needs some time alone. This vacation will do him good." Beka told the two other girls.

'What the hell am I doing wrong?' Harper thought to himself. He was still sitting in the corner by where the slipstream drive is held, but he wasn't in as tight of a little ball as he was before. 'I mean I didn't do anything to them...as far as I remember. Why don't they want me around anymore.' Thoughts such as these plagued his mind for a few more minutes then he drifted off into a dreamful sleep.

"Ladies, gentlemen, and Tyr. We have now arrived at Orisis and will be docking at our hotel shortly." Beka announced over the com. system.
"Beka you have been spending way too much time with Harper." Dylan said from his position at the sensor station behind Beka.
"Yeah I know. Speaking of Harper, where is he?" Beka asked.
"I haven't seen him for quite a while now." Dylan said. "Tyr have you seen Harper?" He asked as the towering Neitzchean strode into the cockpit. Tyr stopped and looked at Dylan.
"The little professor is asleep in engineering." He informed them.
"Poor guy. He was so excited to go on this vacation he must have worn himself out." Beka said. The next few moments were spent in silence except for the hello greetings to Rommie and Trance as they entered the cockpit. They docked at their hotel in a mater on minutes. Un-strapping herself from the pilot seat Beka got up and faced the rest of her crewmembers, excluding Harper. "I'll go wake up Harper." She said then went off to engineering.

Harper was sitting in the middle of a desert watching the Maru fly away without him. He was shocked by the sight of everyone he cared about leaving him that he didn't notice what was going on around him. Magog began popping up from everywhere, trillions of them, and all of them were coming right for him. Harper was cruelly brought back by a clawed hand maliciously grabbing his shoulder and spinning him around. There he was, the one person that Harper never expected to have a blood stained face and red teeth. Rev Bem growled at him and then suddenly bit into his shoulder drawing both blood and a scream from the young man.
Seamus Harper woke with a start and looked into the blue eyes of Captain Beka Valentine who was kneeling next to him smiling. Without thinking, he wrapped his arms around her in a tight hug.
"Hey sport. You okay?" She asked gently rubbing his back.
"Yeah. Just a bad dream." Harper said with a sigh. He let his former captain and one of his closest friends go and watched her stand up. She offered him a hand; he took it and stood up next to her. "So, what do you need Beks?" He asked with a smile.
"I came to wake you up. We gotta go check into our hotel. Come on." She wrapped her arm around his shoulders and they walked to the crew quarters where everyone else was getting their things.
One everyone had their bags (and surfboards) they made their way to the hotel that they would be calling home for the next month.
"Wow!" Harper said as they entered the lobby of the fabulous hotel. "Jeeze! Hey Bek, look at the size of that pool!"
"I see it Harper." Beka said smiling at Harper's awe.
"I'll get our keys, you guys wait here." Dylan said and then made his way over to the clerk.
"Good afternoon sir. How may I help you?" The short, skinny, white boy behind the counter asked politely.
"Yes we have a reservation for six, under the name Dylan Hunt." Dylan replied with a smile.
"Ah yes. Here we are. Dylan Hunt, six rooms rented for the month." The man behind the counter said.
"That would be the one." Dylan told him.
"Just a moment sir." The man said as he reached under the counter and produced six plastic cards (keys). "We could not arrange for all of the rooms to be right next to each other but they are not far apart."
"Thank you." Dylan said and took the keys from the man. He walked back over to he group and passed out the keys. "So, you want to unpack and meet back here in an hour to go to dinner."
"Sure, but are we gonna be doing that every night?" Harper asked.
"No, but I was hoping that we would once in a while." Dylan replied.
"No prob. Boss." Harper said. They all rode the elevator to the third floor (where their rooms were). Then they all went to their rooms. They were all on one side of the hall and were every other door. First in line was Dylan, then Rommie, then Trance, then Tyr, then Beka, and then Harper.
"Yes Trance." Rommie replied turning around to face her.
"I didn't find anything about Harper." Trance informed.
