Don't argue with me young man!
"Please Dylan!"
"No Mr Harper. I'm not gonna let you go back into the data-base. It's just too risky." Dylan was having none of this. They had nearly lost their engineer, and their friend. He wasn't about to let it happen again.
"But Dylan....!" Harper was sitting up on a bed on the med deck, ready to leave and fight this unknown enemy. But for some reason, Dylan was just as adamant that he stays and 'rest', for freakin sake.
"That's my final word on this Harper. Andromeda will try to contact this, stow-away, and make it leave. I won't argue this matter anymore." He said, then walked out the door to command.
"Ugh....!" Harper exhaled in annoyance and flopped back onto the bed. He knew that whatever was shutting down systems all over the ship, was not going to leave after being asked politely by Andromeda. No, this had to be done with force. He needed to get back into the database without being detected. Easy, he thought, what isn't easy is figuring out how to get rid of this monster, alien, I don't freakin know thing!
Closing his eyes, he evened his breathing, tried to focus on a solution. Come on brain, you can do this, you can think of a way to cut this guy out of our systems.
He sat up straight so quickly he nearly hit his head on the medical lamp.
"That's it. I'll isolate his source! Of course!! I'm a genius!!"
Throwing back the covers, Harper raced out of the medical deck, thinking as he ran. The machine shop would be the best place to enter the database undetected. He'd done it many times before and Rommie had never noticed. Twice on his way to machine shop 17, he nearly ran into his crewmates. He knew he had no time to waste. It was only a matter of time before the creature found out how to cut life support, and then they'd all be dead. He shuddered, not wanting to think about that now.
Harper reached the machine shop in record time. He fiddled about first with one of the data ports for a couple of seconds before he sat down and got ready to plug himself in.
He took one big breath, "Here we go! Harper saves the Andromeda - take one! Action!"
"Please Dylan!"
