Ok I have missed the last 3 episodes of andromeda, because of work and it
makes me want to cry. It would be really wonderful if someone told me what
the heck happened, especially with the whole Tyr thing, it would so be
appreciated. And another thing, Telemicus Rhade has been added to the cast,
should I add him to the story? Only reviews will tell.

Dylan stepped in front of the line of soldiers. "Weapons Down." He commanded. The men slowly aimed their force lances at the floor. It was all he could do; he had to leave the rest to Tamerlane, if he was in fact Tamerlane Anasazi, who should only be about 2 years old.
Tammers' voice was harsh and laced with anger, "Alpha Kodiak, you have broken the sacred laws set forth by the First Nietzschean. I have every right to kill you, and I probably should. Do not mistake the fact that you will live for pity. When it is your time, you will die for this. Now go, before I disregard the Way Finders wishes."
Dylan had expected some form of rebuke from Tyr, some last remark. But instead he got to his feet, turned and motioned his remaining troops back to the ships. His shoulders were hunched in embarrassment and shame. He had directly harmed his son. The child, whom he had fought for and planned for over 3 years, would one day hate his father. The boy, who now was almost 2 years of age and safely hidden in a secure location, was also looking down on him as a man. A strong man with perfect genetics, who any father would be proud of, had betrayed him. Or had Tyr betrayed Tamerlane? There was too much to think about. Tyr glanced behind him as the men filled back into the flag ship. Anjel lay motionless on the floor, covered in blood and protected by Tamerlane. All of his pain and all of his future pain would be caused by this girl. There was much to contemplate, and Tyr was sure that the Andromeda had no idea what these 2 were, or else they wouldn't b aboard.
Tyr walked up the ramp without a word. The doors closed as he walked, he never stopped, never looked back again. It ate at Tammers a little, but that wasn't important now. He looked around him, letting the scene of the room finally sink in. His brain had been protecting him form the images before, but now his shields were down and he was really able to see. A Nietzschean body had maybe 2.5 gallons of blood. The entire room was covered. The walls, the floor, even the ceiling was painted with it. Pieces of bodies were scattered. Bone and flesh which almost looked white against the bright red over coat and the pieces stuck out and made the scene more real. These people had been friends, family. He would never know exactly who they were, and he didn't want to know, but he knew his fathers' tactics. Today had been a sad day in the Kodiak history.
Dylan stepped close to Tammers and laid a firm hand on his shoulder. This brought the young man back from his thoughts. He glanced at the wounded Common Wealth, Beka with lashing rainbow tipped hair, and down at Anjel. Anjel, he had almost forgotten about her, how could that have happened?
He knelt and rolled her gently onto her back. Her eyes were closed, face covered in blood, both hers and others, but she still seemed to be breathing. He used the sleeve of his shirt to wipe most of the blood off of her face before it dried. She moaned softly, and he leaned closer in order to hear.
Her voice was raspy and small but none the less she spoke, "Castrate. Him." She fought out.
He laughed, and cried at the same time. She was on the verge of dying, and all she cared about was cutting off Tyr's balls, but could he blame her. He cradled her in his arms and gently nudged her with his face.
"Not this time baby." He cooed.
"Fuck." It was all she said, but it said enough.
Tammers glanced up at Dylan once again. "We can treat the wounded aboard the Dovolo if you would like, I suspect your med bay is full as it is."
"That would be a good idea. And I think we need to talk, seeing as how I'm not sure who you actually are." Dylan stated firmly.
Tammers scooped Anjel up and led the way onto the ship. "The widgets are medical bots, just let them work on the minor wounds, and your men will be fine. Weebles are for more serious wounds that require extraction of something, if you have anything unnatural in your bodies, stay away from them." Tammers glanced at Harper, "The red bots, Georges won't bother you too much."
Beka was confused "Um what's a Widget and a Weeble?"
Tammers flipped a box open while walking down the haul. He removed a remote and pressed power. Immediately the tiny robots that Beka had seen before appeared. Now that she was able to get a look at them, there were 3 distinct types. Tammers smiled at everyone's amazement.
'"The blue ones are Widgets and the green Ones are Weebles. If you don't want them to treat you just flick them away, they get the hint real easy." Tammers said as he continued walking toward the Dovolo's Medical Hanger, yes an entire section of the ship was dedicated to the medical bay.
Tammers entered a small room that could only hold maybe 10 people, but also contained several full submersion tanks. The crew followed him, while more of the wounded were nervously allowing the little bots to fix them. Tammers removed Anjel's clothing, fitted her with an air supply, and gently laid her not the liquid. Harper and Dylan looked away, one because of embarrassment and the other out of gentlemanly protocol. Tammers checked the life signs that had appeared on the screen above were Anjel lay then turned to the others in the room. He leaned against the tank easily, "So what do you want to know?"
Beka was first up, "Well, you see I'm a little confused as to who you are."
Tammers smiled. "I am Tamerlane Anasazi. You can have your ship cross reference my DNA if you wish."
Again Beka, "How is that possible?"
Tammers glanced at Trance who gave a small nod. "Well if you really want to hear my life story you all might want to get comfortable. It is true that Tamerlane is hidden from the universe in a safe place. That child is me at 2 years old." He smiled as everyone found a wall or a tank to lean on. "You know that the Abyss appears anywhere in the universe, most of the time in random places, swallowing planets and stars then disappearing. I am aware that you have already been in the abyss a number of times, which is good and bad. But the Abyss not only dements space and material, but also time. There is no guarantee every time it engulfs you where you will be turned out or when. Well, that's basically what happens to us. I guess the first time I experienced it was when I was about 7, maybe. It was shortly after I met Anjel. She was just a slave aboard one of the currier ships my father had chartered," At this point Tammers stopped briefly and glanced down at Anjel affectionately.
Harper couldn't take the sentimental moment, "And."
"Well the currier was fine for a as far as we knew. I remember waking up in the middle of the night to people screaming. I glanced out my window and say nothing, you would expect to see stars but there was absolutely nothing. Well it was like that for a long time, weeks maybe, we had nowhere to go and nothing to do. Then after a long time something happened and we were literally thrown out of the Abyss and it disappeared. We were happy for a moment; till we realized that we were thrown into a Magog hive. Everyone was killed except for me and Anjel; we were able to grab an escape pod and jettison before the magog knew."
Harper had to interrupt. "Wait, so you were seven? So this means this won't happen for another Five years or so?"
Tammers nodded.
"So you were basically thrown back in time about what 15 years?" Beka asked sarcastically.
"No, we actually never found out what year it was the first time, the Abyss picked us up again, and sent us 300 years back. We saw the fall of the Common Wealth. But the bottom line is we go wherever the Abyss takes us, and it seems to follow us. We've tried living planet side, but the abyss got us and destroyed Corhal, the planet. We've tried living on drifts, that doesn't work either. So we basically go wherever we can, looking for work and whatnot."
"What about Tyr?" Dylan asked quietly.
"The last time the Abyss took us was about 4 years ago. It dropped us in Mr. Anasazi's company. At the time we had no money, no food, and our ship was beyond salvage, so we worked for him. Little stuff here and there usually for the first few years. He took us both under his wing as understudies almost. Treated us like his children. Anjel liked it; she never really remembers her parents that well, evidently she was separated at a young age. I just went along with it because I knew we were fated too. Well about 4 years after that, when Tyr was starting the Kodiak again he asked me to be his second. I had just taken Anjel as my mate and we were expecting our first child. He asked for my DNA, and I reluctantly gave it to him. He didn't like the results. After he confirmed who I was, he did not approve of my choice in mates. Anjel is more human than she is Nietzschean, and Tyr did not feel that it was good to have a cross breed for a first mate. He sent his first female to kill her. Anjel survived, but she lost the baby. Ever since then we've been fighting against him."
There was silence for a long time; no one knew what to say. Beka finally spoke. "So this was all happening while he was aboard the Andromeda? He had Mates?"
Tammers nodded, "yes, there is a lot you do not know about Tyr, it's probably best that you don't anyway."

So almost all is explained, I promise the next chapter will be a Beka /Dylan thing.
