Chapter Two: What Happens Tomorrow
In the last chapter Jason was about to explain how t all went wrong in the future...
Jason: It all starts in about 7 years form now. A Cintey scientist will try to open an inter-dimensional portal. Not knowing that billions will lose there lives because of this experiment. No one really knows how he did it but he did. He went in with a small craft and what happened then no one knows. All we know is that 12 hours later the invasion began.
Dylan: Invasion ?
Rommie: Who invaded ?
Jason: We don't there true name, but they are know to us as The Shadows. They are ruthless and had only one objective. To purge our universe of all life.
Harper: Like the Magog ?
Jason: No, Mr. Harper, the Magog are boy scouts compared to the Shadows. The Magog kill there enemy in one way or another. The Shadows turn you.
Beka: Into what ?
Sierra: One of them.
Abraham: And you would not wish that upon your worst enemy.
Jason: The process is slow and very painful. It changes you completely and there is no coming back from it. Once you are turned you will care nothing about old friends, family or live as we know it. All you would want to do is kill everything that isn't a Shadow.
Dylan: I take you fought back.
Abraham: Of course, what else do you do ?
Jason: But you must understand that there were tens of thousands of there ships. All armed to the teeth. And against such a darkness there was little to do then run. We fought of course, but it was never enough. Day by day we had to surrender more of our space to them. Entire worlds were turned. But then you came along Dylan and did what you do best.
Tyr: Fight ?
Harper: Play Hoops ?
Jason: Talk...
All: Talk ?
Jason: Yes talk... You understood the danger better then anyone, since you had fought the Magog on more then one occasion. You united to know worlds once more. A last alliance between, Commonwealth, Nietschian and countless other species. Even the Persiads. Together you formed the largest fleet that had ever been assembled. Thousands and thousands of ships and on a Monday morning you led them into battle.
Dylan: I led them ?
Jason: Yes, you did. Now the objective was to destroy the Shadow fleet and destroy the gateway so no more re-enforcements could come through it and against all odds, you won. But just when you thought it was save one last shadow ship crashed it self into the Andromeda and destroyed her and everybody on board. It would be our undoing...
Dylan: Well, that...sucks. I always thought I was going to live forever.
Rommie: So did I, but in my case it should be true !
Harper: I don't want to die in 7 years !!!
Beka: Me nether !
Tyr: But you have come back to stop that from happening ? What will you do ? Go after the scientist ?
Jason: No one knows who he is except they he is Cintey. So we can't do that. Besides I believe that this battle must happen for the tri-galaxy to unite under one banner. But we are here to make sure that the Andromeda and it crew survive the battle, so that what happens after the battle doesn't happen again.
Rommie: What ?
Sierra: After the battle, the only fleet that was still strong was that of the Commonwealth, but with no strong leader like Dylan, it turned into chaos and soon the True Commonwealth was replaced with what is known as the Federation. Think as it like the complete opposite of what the Commonwealth should be.
Dylan: The Collectors !
Jason: Yes, they were the ones who took control. Few of us tried to resist but most Nietschians joined it making the Federation the most powerful force in the tri-galaxy, one that no one could resist. A year after the battle against the Shadows, the Persiads were still licking there wounds and were no match for the Federation Fleet.
Trance: They attacked the Persiads ?
Abraham: The committed genocide !
Jason: In our timeline, there are no more Persiads.
Tyr: Impossible ! They one of the most powerful fleets in the known worlds.
Jason: Yes, they do now. But not in 8 years. And without the Persiads, the power of the Federation was absolute.
Dylan: And that is why you came back ? To stop that ?
Jason: Yes, because I believe if you had survived and led the Commonwealth like you are supposed to, the Federation would never been born.
Rommie: That is an big gamble.
Jason: One we must take or at least try to take. Now, Dylan. You will be offered to lead the Commonwealth before the end of this year. It is imperative that you decline !
Dylan: Really ? They will ask me ?
Jason: Yes Dylan: And why should I say no ?
Jason: Because there are things that must happen other wise the battle against the Shadow fleet could still go south.
Dylan: Things ?
Jason: Just believe me when I say so.
Dylan: Believe you ? I'm still having trouble believing that you say who you say you are.
Jason: I know it's hard but you must try. Besides, then fact that you have never seen a ship like my own and the technology it has before should help convincing you.
Dylan: I run into ships I haven't seen before every week, so I might need a little more.
Tyr: And why is it that you are here now if what you say won't happen for another 7 to 8 years ?
Jason: We had thought about coming back a few months before the battle, but we calculated that some events that happened then and must happen in order to win, would not happen. And then more we calculated the further back we went. This was the first save date we could get and we took. So yes, we are a little early but we couldn't do it another way. Trust me, we tried.
Beka: Well, I'm still not ready to believe this all.
Jason: Then we will give you more proof.
Harper: Proof ? Like what ? Jason: I will give you a sample of the hull of my ship. You should be able to date it.
Dylan: Rommie ?
Rommie: It would be helpful. Quantum dating can't be forged !
Dylan: Okay, you provide us with that and if it proves that you say who you say you are we will talk again.
Jason: Agreed. Sierra, see that it gets done.
Sierra: Yes, sir.
Dylan: Rommie, would you please escort our guest to the airlock ?
Rommie: Of course captain.
As Rommie led the three visitors to the airlock the rest of the crew of the Andromeda stayed behind....
Beka: Well ? Do you believe him ?
Dylan: I think I do.
Tyr: Are you insane ? You believe that clown ?
Dylan: He is willing to give us proof. Proof that if I may say can't be forged in anyway.
Trance: Exactly. Why would he do that I he was lying ?
Tyr: I think we should keep our weapons ready !
Harper: What weapons ?!? We are still a little crippled remember ?
Dylan: About that, try to get us up and running again Mr. Harper. Trance, as soon as the full fragment arrives check it for me okay ?
Trance: Of course, Dylan.
They all left the room to start repairing the ship. Meanwhile at the airlock...
Jason: I get the feeling you still don't believe me ?
Rommie: Why would you say that ?
Jason: Just a feeling.
Rommie: It is somewhat hard to believe, don't you think ? Jason: Well, in that case I will await your results on the hull fragment.
He shook hands with Rommie and left. Rommie wondered why he did that. It seemed almost forced. So she decided to go to the lab. Back on Jason's Ship.
Sierra: You gave her a hand ?
Jason: What's wrong with that ?
Abraham: You want her to find out don't you ?
Jason: It might help them to believe us.
Sierra: In that case you could have told them back there. Jason: I could...but I didn't. Let's just wait and see what happens.
In the lab on the Andromeda...
Rommie: Andromeda, check to following DNA sample and find a match.
Andromeda: Scanning Sample...
Andromeda: Match found.
Rommie check the findings and with shock in the voice said...
Rommie: That is very interesting ! Got to tell Dylan.
Rommie went to Dylan the command deck were Dylan was....
Rommie: Dylan, I found something very interesting that I think you would want to know.
Dylan: What is it ?
Rommie: When Jason left he gave me a hand.
Dylan: A hand ? That is wonderful news. When is the wedding ?
Rommie: Haha very funny. But I thought it was strange so I checked the DNA that is left on my hand and I found something.
Dylan: What ? Rommie: Well, you might want to sit down.
Dylan: Just tell me Rommie !
