Chapter 2- Wishing you were here
A few minutes earlier.
Harper awoke to pain, an event that occurred with alarming frequency in his life. "Ow" he said rubbing his head.
This was quickly followed by "oh man" when he took in his surroundings.
Harper had no idea what was responsible for this latest bout of torment but he was sure it wasn't good, but then again it never was. Life on Andromeda was one adventure after another. "Just another fun packed day" he muttered to himself.
"Rom-Doll what happened to you" he called; there was no response this was alarming.
"Dylan" he tried instead; no response.
"Anyone" he tried to no avail.
The alarm-o-meter was definitely rising now.
"Come on Harper you're a genius you can figure this out yourself" he said to himself, and set to working on the nearest access point.
After a few minutes of tinkering Harper had restored most of Andromeda's systems. As soon as Andromeda's internal sensors came on-line she sensed Harper. "Harper" she called as she flashed into existence before him. Quickly her delighted smile turned to a frown as she sensed of rather couldn't sense the rest of the crew. This was not lost on Harper.
"What's wrong Rom-Doll"? He asked.
"I cannot detect any other life signs, Dylan, Becka, Trance, Tyr, they're all gone"!
Harper visibly paled.
"So its just you and me, Rommie, finally I've got you all to my self, and I'm wishing Dylan was here. Don't worry Rommie we'll find them, there's nothing we cant do"
Andromeda brightened a little, maybe everything would work out, she was a powerful warship after all and Harper was a self professed genius. She mentally scolded herself for panicking, very un-warship like, Harper was right there's nothing they cant do.
"Harper I cant detect a trail from the attackers ship, how do we find them"?
"Trust in the Harper Rommie the Harper is good, but first you'll have to help me out a little, just what the hell happened"?
Of course Harper didn't know what happened he was curled up in access shaft repairing her, Harper was always there for her, she could always trust him to fix her, and she silently thanked the Devine that Harper was not taken from her too, she still had a friend to count on.
Andromeda filled Harper in on the situation he did not look pleased at the news. Andromeda felt the need to provide some comforting news however this was hard come by; this was the best she could do " I scanned you the virus seams to have dissipated leaving no side effects, the same is likely of the others also, it appears to have been designed purely as a quick acting sedative".
Harper seamed to perk up at the news that for once in his life a virus had been thwarted by the Harper immune system, and he was not sick! This also meant that the others were also likely to be alive and in need of rescue. Well Harper genius extraordinar would provide that rescue.
"Andromeda" Harper called excitedly I think I've found away to trace them.
