Chapter Five: Remember Us...
After testing the new Transwarp drive, the Andromeda was ready to start testing the other new systems. Jason and his crew were on the Avalon and Dylan and his crew were of course on the Andromeda. Jason was on screen.
Jason: Ready to start blowing stuff up ?
Dylan: Rommie and Tyr can't wait.
Jason: I'll bet they can't. Load one of the new torpedo's and set the power output on 25%.
Rommie: Done. Ready to fire
Dylan: Which one ?
Jason: Second one on your left.
Harper: Ha, it looks like a bunny.
Tyr: One very dead bunny in a few moments.
Dylan: Just fire the torpedo.
Andromeda fired the torpedo and on impact it complete destroyed the asteroid...
Jason: Impressed yet ?
Dylan: I'm getting there.
Jason: Well, then we have some more work to do. Do you see that big one on 129.5 by 231.67 ?
Rommie: Got it. It's...very big.
Trance: Ten times the size of the Andromeda to be precise.
Dylan: Aren't we overdoing it a little ?
Jason: You're the one who wanted to be impressed.
Beka: Should I back off a little before we shoot ?
Jason: No, no need. Your new shields will protect you.
Tyr: Correct me if I'm wrong, but we haven't tested the shields yet have we ?
Jason: No time like present. They will work, trust me.
Dylan: We do.
Jason: Okay, then lets get to it. Load 3 torpedo's this time. Set the power output on 100%
Rommie: Locked and loaded.
Dylan: Then by all means fire.
The three torpedo's were fired and a few moments later the impacted the asteroid...
Harper: Is it just me or is nothing happening ?
Jason: Give it a moment, Mr. Harper.
And just like Jason said, a moment later the asteroid was completely destroyed.
Beka: I'm officially impressed.
Tyr: That makes two of us.
Harper: Make that three.
Rommie: You know I could have always done that, even without the new weapons.
Jason: No offence, but it would have taken 10 times as much of your old missiles to do the same kind of damage the two new torpedo's did.
Rommie: Still...I could have done it.
Jason: I'm sure you could.
Tyr: Now we also now the shields work.
Harper: Yeah, because look at us... were still here.
Jason: Shall we continue ?
Dylan: Sure, lead the way.
For the next hour the Andromeda tested the new weapons and the upgraded ones... Afterwards.
Jason: Ready to give the shields a run or there money ?
Dylan: We have already tested them.
Jason: If you call a dissipating shockwave of a destroyed asteroid a test ?
Dylan: Then how do you want to test them ?
Jason: Well, basically we shoot at you and if the shields work you won't be destroyed.
Dylan: What !?!
Beka: And what if they don't work ?
Jason: Oops ???
Tyr: Let me just say that I am against this plan !
Harper: Me too !
Trance: I think we should try it.
Dylan: I don't know, sounds a little to dangerous.
Rommie: Can we fire back if he shoots at us ?
Jason: Please don't.
Dylan: No one is shooting at each other . There must be another way ?
Jason: There is, but since there is no space port near by we will have to do it the old fashioned way.
Beka: There's a space port on Caldeline 5
Jason: But not with the technology we would need to test the shields.
Beka: How do you know ?
Jason: Because it hasn't been invented yet.
Sierra: Don't worry, we will start with a low power output.
Dylan: Okay, but just be careful.
Jason: Don't worry, I didn't travel over 30 years to kill my own father and his crew.
Dylan: Just don't say oops !
Jason: Will do...
Tyr: I have never seen someone letting some one else shoot at them voluntarily.
Trance: It will be fine.
Beka: Good enough for me.
Jason: Rommie, raise shields. Full power.
Rommie: Shields risen.
Jason: Firing...
The Avalon shot one torpedo at the Andromeda and just as Jason said it was stopped by the new shields...
Beka: Harper, you can open your eyes now !
Harper: Is it over ?
Tyr: Coward...
Harper: Hey, I don't like people shooting at me.
Dylan: Neither do I, but all in the name of progress.
Rommie: Captain, the shields are at 99% and stable.
Jason: Told you...
Dylan: Are we done ?
Jason: Not yet. We will try a 50% torpedo now. If you don't mind of course ?
Harper: I mind, does that count ?
Dylan: Lets you get this over with.
For the next 25 minutes the Avalon and the Andromeda were testing the new shields and it took them the rest of the day to test all the other new and upgraded systems but on the end of the day...
Jason: I think we are all done.
Harper: Thank God !
Dylan: Now what do we do ?
Jason: That we should discuss face to face.
Jason came aboard the Andromeda and walked towards the command deck...
Dylan: What took you so long ?
Jason: I had to use the little boys room first
Dylan: How interesting !?!
Harper: Number one or number two ?
Beka: Aww sick Harper !
Harper: What ?!? They started it !
Jason: Just for the record...number one
Tyr: How sad it is that father and son have nothing better to discuss with each other then their toilet habits.
Jason: Well, however fun that might be, I didn't come aboard to talk about that.
Rommie: Then what did you come aboard for ?
Jason: To say goodbye.
Dylan: Goodbye ? Why ?
Jason: We have given you everything you will need to survive and to continue your mission.
Dylan: That doesn't mean you have to go ?
Jason: I wish I could stay. I wish I could get to know you all better, but I can't take the risk.
Dylan: What risk ?
Jason: There are some things that will happen that will hurt you all, but things that must happen in order to save the future. And if I am there I am afraid I would try to stop it to spare you all from that pain. It's just too dangerous.
Rommie: But where would you go ? You said you couldn't return to the future.
Jason: We can't, but we also can't stay here. Besides, just because we are leaving doesn't mean we haven't got anything to do. My mission is still running.
Dylan: I thought your mission was to inform us.
Jason: That was one part of it, the other part we will do now, alone. But worry, we'll drop in from time to time. To see how you are doing.
Dylan: Well you are always welcome.
Jason: Thanks, that's good to hear.
Jason reached inside his pocket and took out a small machine...
Jason: Here, take it. Consider it a going away present.
Dylan: What is it ?
Jason: It a way to contact me, but only use this when you have no choice. We can't come every time you hit a little bump in the road.
Dylan: How does it work ?
Jason: It sends out an subspace single that only my ship can detect. When you active it, we will know where you are. But remember what I said, only when you have no choice.
Dylan: Sure. Jason: And keep it hidden. We don't want it to fall in the wrong hands of course.
Dylan: Don't worry, I'll keep it save.
Jason: Good...
Everybody was silent just for a moment until...
Jason: I guess this is it.
Dylan: I guess so.
Jason extended is hand and said...
Jason: It was nice finally getting to know you...Dad.
Dylan: Just a handshake ?
Jason looked at his father and instead of giving him a hand he decided to give him a hug...
Dylan: It was nice meeting you to, Jason. Take care of yourself. And don't be a stranger
Jason: I won't.
Jason went down the line after that starting with Trance who gave him a hug as well and thanked him for warning them. Then it was Beka's turn who also have him a hug, but not as big of a hug a Trance. Harper was up next who did the same which freaked Jason a little out...
Jason: Mr. Harper ...? Mr Harper...?
Harper: Yes ?
Jason: Please let go...I'm feeling a little awkward here.
Harper: Ohh sorry, got a little carried away.
Jason: That's alright, just don't do that to often.
Tyr and Jason just looked at each other an nodded there heads towards each other. Last but not least was Rommie, the one Jason had been working with the most.
Jason: So ? Are you going to miss me ?
Rommie: No...not really.
Jason: No ?!?
Rommie: Nehh.
Jason: Auch, that's cold. Even Tyr will miss me a little.
Tyr: No I won't !!!
Jason: See ! He's missing me already.
Rommie: Okay, maybe a little then.
Jason: Well it's better then nothing a guess.
Rommie gave him a big hug and said to him...
Rommie: I lied, I will miss you. Take care of yourself.
Jason: And you take care of my dad, he'd be lost without.
Rommie: I know.
Dylan: Thanks for making me sound like a five year old.
Jason walked out of command and looked back once at his father and his new friends. He couldn't deny that it hurt leaving them but he knew that he would see them again one day. And in his mind, he hoped it would be sooner than later. As Jason returned to his ship he ordered to open a transwarp conduit and a few moments later The Avalon disappeared. After looking at the Avalon leaving and then at the screen for a while Dylan said...
Dylan: Let's go. Beka, lay in a course for Kilnary 7. I hear they are heaving some trouble with some pirates
Beka: Course laid in.
Dylan: The by al means...
The Andromeda left the system as well, heading for a new adventure, but Dylan also knew, just like his son Jason, that they would meet each other again soon...
PREVIEW CHAPTER SIX:
An accident aboard the Andromeda will force Dylan to send a message to his son. But if Jason does not respond in time, Dylan will lose one of his closest friend...
