Beka had managed to get inside the building without getting noticed. She had disabled the alarm system with a method she had learned back in her days as a thief. Well, she had learned by her father. Rommie was outside, watching for intruders and Trance was looking for the right poison.
'It's this one!' She said suddenly.
'You found it?'
'Yeah, there's just a question of getting it out,' Trance answered. Beka turned around and groaned. The poison was locked inside a small cupboard with a red laser beam through it.
'All this poisons Trance, and you just have to choose the one that is hardest to get out.' Trance didn't answer.
'Okay,' Beka mumbled, 'I'll see what I can do.' She took a pair of tweezers and looked at it closely. 'I think I can use this.'
'But Beka,' Trance objected, 'you can't take the bottle out with that. It's too big!'
'Take it easy Trancie,' Beka mumbled and flinched. 'Hey, I remembered to call you Trancie!' The purple girl smiled, but stayed quiet. Beka use the tweezers to carefully open the lock and then proceed to disable the laser beam. Right when she was on it, they heard sounds from outside.
'Rommie is under attack!' Trance exclaimed, stressed looking at the door. 'Hurry Beka!' Beka tried to do it as quick as she could and soon she had the poison out.
'That's it! Rommie, we're finished!' The fighting stopped and they heard Rommie running away. The people she had been fighting with started to struggle with the lock.
'Come on,' Trance shouted and started to climb out of the window. Beka followed, careful not to break the small bottle. It was hard, using only one arm, but she managed with Trance's help. Soon, they saw Rommie run up and wait for them on the ground.
'We have to get back to the slipfighter,' she whispered when they had reached the ground, 'I think the whole building know that we were there now.' And that was true, they could even hear from outside how people were running and shouting at each other.
'Let's go,' Beka said and they started to run back to the ship. Some guards caught up with them on the way, but they managed to shake them off by kicking their butts for a while. (A/N Hey, they do that all the time on the show) Then finally they came back, and could return to the Andromeda.

'Welcome back,' the AI happily stated when the slipfighter had landed and the three women had walked out.
'We found the poison,' Trance said, 'we should go use it now.' The others were no less eager and they headed for the brig.
'How are we to proceed with this?' Rommie asked as they were walking. Trance studied the poison closely.
'I think we should inject them with it, I'm not sure they could drink it. I'm going to go to the med bay and prepare it. See you in the brig later.' Rommie and Beka nodded and they walked in different directions.
'Beka?' Rommie said a bit uncertain when Trance had left.
'Yeah?'
'Well, this may sound a bit weird and.' Rommie wasn't sure how to say this. 'Before this happened, if I spent time with anyone, it would always be Dylan, and sometimes perhaps listening to Harper's bad jokes, but well, under this period,' she paused, looking for the right words, 'I've felt like I've come much closer to the two of you.' Beka looked at her, interested.
'Yes, I've felt that too. I didn't really know you before.'
'Well, I was hoping it could stay like that, because, even though we are different, I really like talking to you.' Beka smiled.
'Of course we can. Maybe we're not so different as you think.' Then she decided to change the subject as she thought of something. 'I van only imagine how those three in the brig will talk about who did the worst things.' Her smile disappeared. 'Well, I suppose that was Tyr, but the others won't know that,' she mumbled, fiddling with the bandage on her arm. Her face wasn't completely healed yet either, but it was the arm she could see herself, so that was what reminded her. Rommie patted her shoulder.
'He'll be very ashamed when he gets back to normal, I think.'
'It wasn't his fault.'
'No, but I think that anyway. I mean, just imagine you had done that to someone you care about.'
'Care? Tyr doesn't care about anyone.' Rommie knew that was not true, but decided not to take it further. On the bitter tone of Beka's voice, she could hear something was definitely behind this. Besides, they had reached the brig now. When they got in, the three men seemed to be in a heated argument. No real words were spoken, they were merely snarling at each other and pushing here and there. Harper seemed to have lost already and now hid in a corner. The small guy could never stand a chance against the two large men who were now pushing each other back and forth. They didn't seem to really want to hurt each other though. Rommie cleared her artificial throat and they turned against her.
'You two!' Dylan roared in a so-not-Dylan-voice. 'You let us out of here immediately! You cannot revolt against us in this way you have done!' As they were not carrying weapons, Beka and Rommie decided the best way on getting them injected with the poison would be pointing guns at them. Soon, Trance arrived.
'I've prepared the poisons,' she announced quietly. 'I think we should give Rev a dose too, even if he can fight the poison, it would be good to get it out of him.'
Rommie opened the brig and the three men immediately found guns pointed at them. Rommie and Beka stood at a distance, so it wouldn't be possible for them to knock the guns out of their hands.
'Let Trance inject you now,' Beka said. 'Anyone who doesn't cooperate will be shot.' Trance looked a little scared as she walked up to them, but they didn't fight when she injected them, one at a time. When she was finished, they looked at them, hoping for something to happen. In the order that Trance had injected them, their eyes rolled up and the lids fell down. They stumbled a bit backwards and then they opened their eyes again.
