Summary: Beka and Harper crash land on an abandoned planet.but is it really abandoned? PLEASE R/R!!!!! oh, and if u have any title ideas, tell me. ^_^

Chapter 2A

Beka's eyes fluttered open, causing her to groan.

"Ah, I see you're awake," a voice sneered from above her head. "It's about time."

As she began to focus, Beka could see a blurry face peering down at her. It was a fuzzy face, it was.Gerentex?!?

Consciousness returned quickly, and Beka tried to sit up, only to find she was tied down.

"You! What are you doing here? How did you get here?" She demanded, struggling against her bonds.

"I'm here because of that creepy purple girl and your annoying engineer," Gerentex growled.

Beka gasped. "Harper, oh no! If he's hurt I'll-" Her threat was cut off by a kick.

At that moment, something very rare happened to Gerentex; something clicked. When he had visited the Maru before, Harper was nowhere to be seen. Naturally Gerentex assumed this meant he was back on the Andromeda. However, Beka's threat just affirmed that Harper had been with here and was somewhere on the planet. Perhaps he was back on the ship and Gerentex had simply missed him.

A new plan began to form. Originally he was going to use the Maru's communication system to contact the Andromeda and ransom Beka. Or maybe ransom her to some Neitzecheans so they could ransom her to the Andromeda and steal the ship. He hadn't decided yet. But now that Harper was there, he could ransom both! Or kill Harper and only ransom Beka. That sounded more logical. After all, it was Harper's fault he was stuck on this planet anyway.

"Be quiet or I'll do to you what I did to your annoying little friend!" He snapped at Beka, who instantly fell quiet. Not because she was scared though. Fear and concern filled the pit in her stomach. Where was Harper? Was he okay?
