All Trance could do was stare. She hadn't seen another one in years. Airia
Auril was blue. Literally. Not blue as in sad, but blue as in BLUE! To some
this may just seem odd or insignificant, but to Trance it wasn't. Although
she is gold and grey now, she used to be purple. This woman was light blue
with dark blue lips and brown/blonde hair.
"Trance,"Auril said again. "Do you know who I am?"
"Yes." Trance somehow managed to say. Trance had seen her pictures before. She was the ruler of Trance's people.
The door slid closed behind Trance as Auril said, "Then you probably know why I am here."
"Rommie?" Dylan asked.
"Yes?" Came the reply.
"How long have they been talking?"
"One hour, three minutes and 35 seconds, "Rommie answered.
"Dylan! We are under attack!" came Beka's voice over the ship's intercom system.
"On my way" Dylan said as he made his way to command.
"It's the Aricads" Beka said as Dylan reached command.
"What are they shooting at us for? All we ever did was help them out of engine trouble and Nitzschean problems and saved their sorry little butts from starvation by including them in the Commonwealth!" Harper exclaimed. "I have no idea Mr. Harper." Dylan answered. "Hail them."
"Sure thing Boss," Harper answered. The Aricad showed up on the screen.
"What are you doing Captain Hunt?" the he asked. Dylan raised his eyebrows.
"I'm on my way to Taida." Dylan responded.
"You are not welcome here. Not with your Nietzschean. And that gold thing." The Aricad spat.
"The last time we were here, you didn't object to Tyr, why should Rhade be different?" Dylan said. Beka, the first officer, stirred a console away. Rhade frowned. He didn't like being compared to Tyr. Tyr used to be a member of the Andromeda crew. He knew that Beka were once somewhat together. He also knew that Tyr had betrayed Beka and everyone on the Andromeda. Tyr had also tried to kill everyone on the Andromeda when he had rallied his army. He, Rhade, would never do that. He was nothing like Tyr.
"Leave Captain. Or in tem seconds I shoot." The Aricad disappeared from the screen.
"We're 40 seconds away from a slipstream portal." Beka said.
"Rhade take fire control!" Dylan yelled as a fresh wave of missiles hit the ship. Rhade console went dead, so he ran to share with Beka at the first officer's station. Suddenly, a huge barrage of missiles hit the Andromeda. Yells echoed through command. The first officer's console jerked with the rest of the ship. Beka hit the side of it and as another missile attack bombarded the ship, she flew over the console. Rhade threw his arm to try and stop her from flying off, but was too late. She landed ten feet away.
"Trance,"Auril said again. "Do you know who I am?"
"Yes." Trance somehow managed to say. Trance had seen her pictures before. She was the ruler of Trance's people.
