Chapter 8 - Ok this is not good, not good at all
Beka awoke and stretched her aching limbs 'god that felt good' she thought to her self; to her surprise Tyr was still asleep she was sure she would find him standing guard forever the Neitzchean as he was. Rommie also looked asleep, which was another surprise as she thought Rommie didn't sleep; "Trance" she whispered "does Rommie sleep?" There was no answer she looked around to see were Trance was but she was no were to be seen. "Ok this is not good" she muttered to her self.
Beka gently shook Rommie "Wake up" she urged but there was no response "Come on Rommie wake up" she tried again "No this is not good not good at all" she declared to the sleeping form.
While Rommie remained unmoving Tyr had arisen and moved to stand behind Beka "Wake up ship" he bellowed but this had no better effect; "Beka where is Trance" Tyr asked looking around. "I don't know" replied Beka worriedly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trance sat quietly sobbing in the corner of her small cell wondering how this could happen a sencond time; she had come back to change things but this future was turning out no better than the one she came from; she had failed them all a second time.
Even though it was over now the images still assaulted Trance's mind she could not shut them off; images of Dylan's death ran through her head mixed in with the horrors from her past, the destruction of the Andromeda, Harper's death, Beka's cybernetic implants.
Dylan was dead. Trance didn't want to believe it but she had been forced to watch as the images played out on a screen before her; Dylan tortured by their capture's kicked and beaten the images finally ending in Dylan's battered body lying lifeless on the floor.
Trance continued to weep without Dylan the new commonwealth would fall civilization and hope along with it. The perfect possible future nothing but a unobtainable dream. Trance was still sobbing when the guards came for her again and dragged her thought a portal back to Beka, Try and Rommie.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beka watched as Trance sobbed in the corner the new gold Trance didn't cry and she wondered what had they done to her; hadn't they done enough all ready she thought. Beka went over to Trance and tried to comfort her friend but comfort was hard come by these days and Beka was in desperate need of it her self.
Trance continued to quietly sob for another hour or so then she uttered the two single words that struck deep into the hearts of them all even Tyr "He's dead" was all she said "Who?" asked Beka, but she already knew the answer.
Rommie still lay deathly still in the corner Trance noticed this and asked what was wrong "We woke up to find her like this" replied Beka "We've tried everything to wake her but nothing works Tyr thinks she may have run out of power."
"Not her too" whispered Trance before sinking back into silence. Beka too lapsed into silence she too had lost too much already, they all had, and now she had lost two of her friends and Harper and Andromeda were still missing she had no idea if they were alive or not.
Tyr brooded more than usual the universe would suffer from the loss of Dylan and Rommie they had both proven themselves to be useful and competent time and time again their loss decreased his chance of survival and he had grown accustomed to their company. Yes he would miss them.
