Andromeda Universe
Disclaimer- read the first chapter. Spoilers for Andromeda- Takes place during season 4, after Rhade joins the crew. This is before the season finale. If you haven't seen Soon The Nearing Vortex, or The World Turns All Around Her, you probably shouldn't read on. For Stargate spoilers, read the first chapter.
NOTE: I would like to thank W1REF1RE, sueKay-04, LadyReeana, macisgate, BizzyLizzy, and sesshomaru-sg1 for reviewing. I didn't think I would be getting this many reviews, so thanks again! I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as the first one.

Chapter 2 – The Strange Devices
A ship whose crew was under the control of The Abyss had recently attacked the Andromeda. They (the Andromeda,) were currently docked with the ship of a Than Wayist who was helping Harper with repairs. The Wayist also had given them two strange devices. They were about to go their separate ways, and Captain Hunt wanted to thank the Than. Hunt was standing in the Command Deck with two other officers, talking with the Than.
"Thank you for helping my engineer with our repairs, and also for these devices you have given us. What are they again?"
"You are welcome, Captain Hunt. It was my pleasure to help." The Than replied. "As for your question..." he began, "These are ancient devices, believed to serve some sort of ceremonial purpose. As of yet, I have been unable to discover their true purpose for being. Maybe you will have better luck than I."
"I hope so," Hunt said. "Again, thank you for your assistance. I hope we see each other again."
"As do I. Until then, Captain Hunt." And with that, communication ended and the Than entered Slipstream.
"Dylan..." began the first officer, Beka Valentine. "What if these 'devices' are some new sort of bomb? That could go off at any minute inside the Andromeda?"
"Beka, are you suggesting that our Wayist Than friend would want to destroy the Andromeda?" Hunt asked.
"Yes." She replied. "You can never tell who's a friend and who's a foe nowadays."
"I don't believe that Than had any intention to destroy Andromeda." Said Rhade, the weapons officer of Andromeda.
"And why is that, Rhade?" asked Beka.
"Wayists are not destructive. Even if he was being controlled by The Abyss, he couldn't destroy us because it's not in his nature."
"Really? And where did you learn that?"
"People," began Hunt. "We could argue about this all day, but I think we should we should just be glad all of our repairs are finished. Besides..." he started. "Andromeda can always clear this up for us. So, what are the devices, Andromeda?"
The image of the Andromeda's AI appeared on the main screen. "I have no idea what they are, Captain. I've never seen anything like them before."
Hunt was absolutely dumbfounded. "You don't know? Please explain."
"Well," the Andromeda started. "They are both made of an element I've never seen before. The ring has many symbols on it, and the pedestal has symbols that correspond with the ones on the ring. In addition, the ring appears to have nine points which are similar to chevrons."
"I see. I'll have Mr. Harper start—." Hunt was cut off by the Andromeda.
"Captain Hunt! The ring device is activating itself! My avatar is already on her way to the cargo bay to see what happens."
"Alright. Rhade, Beka, lets go." Said Hunt.
On their way to the cargo bay, the three crew members ran into Rommie, the Andromeda's android avatar. They rushed to the cargo bay in silence. What they were about to see would shock them all.
As they entered the cargo bay, the officers' eyes widened. The ring device was surging with power, and part of it was spinning. Every few seconds or so, a chevron would light up at one of the symbols. Finally, when seven of the chevrons were lit, the ring surged with even more power and a burst erupted from it's middle. Where there was once an opening, there was now an illusion of water. Suddenly, two men were thrown from the 'water' and into the cargo bay. When they were clear of the ring, the illusion appeared to disintegrate.
That was not to be the biggest surprise. When the two men stood up, each of the four crew members recognized both of them.
'This can't be possible,' thought Rommie.
"Um, hello." Said one of the men. "We come in peace?"

So what did you think? I'm not sure if it's as good as the first chapter, but that's for you to decide. Sorry if the people from Andromeda seem a little out of character. I haven't seen the show in a while, so my knowledge of the characters could be a little rusty. Please R and R. Oh, and one more thing... The next chapter may not be up in a while. This story is my second priority. My number one priority is my original story on FictionPress called, "And The Meek Would Inherit The Earth." I'm trying to write the second chapter to that, so it may be a while until I can update this.
