"Tyr? Tyr wake up." Sammie said as she gently shook the (naked, but) sleeping Neitzchean.

"Woman, go back to sleep." Tyr said rolling over.

"You've got to go take a shower, unless you want to work in Command the way you are now."

"Fine." He said rolling over to face her. He gently cupped her face in his hands and kissed her. "You're very persuasive. Do you know that?"

"Yes I do. But do you now, that no matter how big of a bad ass act you put on, you're still the gentlest man I know?"

"Yes I know, and it's not an act." He replied, got up, put on a pair of briefs, and kissed Sam. "Go back to sleep. I'll be back in a few hours."

"Okay." She said and laid back down. Tyr waked into the bathroom smiling to himself.

"Harper. Harper!" Holo -Rommie said trying to wake her engineer.

"Yeah Rommie, I'm up." Harper said with a start.

"Alright. Just don't fall back asleep, okay?"

"Okay." He said and then Rommie disappeared. Harper slowly and gently untangled himself from Isa and went to shower.

Tyr walked out of the bathroom and dressed in his usual leather. He gently kissed Sam on the head and left

Harper waked out of the bathroom and dressed in a pair of black work pants and a red sweater. He looked over at Isa and smiled. 'She's go beautiful. I'll have to tell Rev to thank God for sending her to me. I should find her cloths for her.' He thought. He found all of her cloths except for her shirt.

"Where the hell did that go?" He asked himself aloud but a little louder than he should have.

"Where'd what go honey?" Isa asked softly looking up at him. 'STUPID!' He thought to himself as he walked over and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Nothin' babe. I was looking for your cloths so you wouldn't have to when you woke up and I just can't find your shirt, so I'll give you one of mine to wear, okay?"

"Okay." She replied. He played with a few strands of her hair.

"What did I do to deserve you?" He asked her softly.

"What did you do? Um, well, lets see. You love me, you're smart, sweet, kind, caring, gentle, funny, and perfect in every single way that I can possibly think of."

"Alright, I get it."

"Good, now please don't ever think that you don't deserve me. Okay?" She told his as she sat up, cupped his face in her hands, and looked straight into his eyes.

"Okay. I love you."

"I love you too and I'm really enjoying out moment here, but if you don't get going your gonna be late."

"Yeah I know. Go back to sleep. I'll see you in a bit, okay?"

"Uh huh." Isa replied and snuggled back into the warmth of Harper's blankets. Harper pulled the blankets up over her shoulders and softly kissed her head. He then got a black sweater out of his closet and laid it on the end of the bed next to Isa's cloths and left.

Chelsey stood at the first officers station typing information into the console.

"Hey moony (Chelsey's nickname)?" Maggie asked from the science officers station. Maggie was a pilot and Chelsey was a medical officer, lovingly called Trance's little apprentice. Maggie was 24, tall, with short blonde hair, and she was Ackadian. Ackadians were amazingly strong and agile and have pointy ears. Chelsey was only 20, short, with shoulder length brown hair, but she was Neitzchean; Sabra - Jaguar pride to be exact.

"Yeah?" Chelsey replied not looking up form her work.

"Aren't we two crew members short?" Maggie asked.

"Yeah. Lauren, who's missing?" Chelsey asked looking over to the third occupant of command.

"Uh, Tyr and Harper I think." Lauren replied. Lauren was only 19, tall, golden blonde hair that reached down to the middle of her back, and dark blue eyes. She was half Neitzchean, half human. This made her disliked by most other Neitzcheans.

"Andromeda, where are Harper and Tyr?" Chelsey asked.

"Harper is on his way and Tyr is..."Mainframe Rommie began but was interrupted by Tyr walking in to the room. "There." She finished. Tyr walked over and looked over Chelsey's shoulder at what she was doing.

"Boo!" Tyr yelled from behind Chelsey.

"Oh, God in heaven!" Chelsey screamed in fright. "What was that for?" She asked grasping her chest.

"Move." He stated plainly. Maggie and Lauren both stifled giggles earning them both glares from Tyr.

"Fine." Chelsey replied, went up the ramp, and leaned against the door thinking it was a wall.

"So why were you late Tyr?" Lauren asked with a small smile.

"I was busy." Tyr replied sounding more than a bit annoyed.

"What were you doing? Getting' some?" Maggie asked jokingly.

"Maggie, his hand doesn't count." Chelsey shot. Tyr was instantly angry and began quickly marching up the ramp towards Chelsey. Chelsey's eyes grew as big as dinner plates the instant the realized Tyr was extremely angry and had her trapped.

"Rommie open the wall." Chelsey said in panic.

"What?" The A.I. asked confused. Maggie and Lauren burst into laughter.

"Please open the wall." Chelsey said again as Tyr got closer. "Pleeaassee open the wall."

"But Chelsey..."Andromeda began again.

"Open the Wahhhh!!!!" Chelsey began to say when the door she was pressed up against opened suddenly and she fell to the floor. She looked up into Harper's confused ice blue eyes and waved at him, which confused him even more. "Hi Harper." She said breaking the silence.

"Hi. Uh, moony, why are you on the floor?" He asked her.

"Well, I was leaning up against the door thinking that it was a wall, then I started making fun of Tyr, and he was gonna kick my ass, so I asked Rommie to open the wall, and then you opened the door and......I fell down."

"Well, there does that Neitzhean superiority complex." Harper responded. He held out his hand to help her up, she looked at his hand and then got up on her own. "Okay, I guess it's still there." He finished.

"Harper don't take it personally. She does that to everybody. It's a Chelsey thing." Lauren explained regaining most of her composure.

"Yeah, it's just a me thing, and I do not have a complex!" Chelsey told him.

"Alrighty then." Harper said and walked into command.

"Hey Harper!" Maggie said still slightly giggling.

"Hi Maggie." He returned and then walked over to work next to Lauren. "Hey Lauren."

"Hi Harper." Lauren greeted him with a smile.

"Boy, why were you late?" Tyr addressed him.

"Uh, well....." Harper stammered.

"Get over it Tyr. You were late too." Chelsey said walking back into the room.
