ok ok ok I know, its been a while, but I wasn't going to actually write
until I knew that Fanfiction.net wasn't going to crash. Mind you I have
written this 3 times. Once my nephew erased it before I could save it, the
second time the disk wouldn't let me have it, and this is the third, I
liked the first so much more.

Tammers lay comfortably in the Andromeda command on the pilot's chair. While he was actually in a strange position, and he had no way to defend himself if attacked, Tamerlane didn't actually care. It was maybe the second time in his life that he was more preoccupied with his thoughts than his actual survival. Drago mustavi would turn over in his grave if he knew.
He watched Harper a few feet away laying in a man hole working on something. He never knew what engineers actually did other than they fixed stuff and made things run. He had usually left all of the mechanical stuff to Anjel. She did know a lot about machines though. Was it genetic?
Harper, could he be? Maybe, well there was a resemblance. Anjel did know the Andromeda inside and out, including her maintenance shafts and hidden supply cashes. Maybe Harper was her father. Of course that would mean that her mother was 75% nietzschean. I could happen, but what nietzschean in her right mind would take that as a mate.
Tammers smiled as an idea popped into his head. It was a nasty, mean, neitzschean idea, his father would have been proud.
"What are you doing, Mr. Harper?" he asked in a calm yet dangerous tone.
Harper jumped; obviously he was too wrapped up in his work to notice Tamerlane's entrance. "Geez! Make some noise why don't ya!"
Tamerlane chuckled and moved from the chair. He lumbered gracefully yet menacingly over to Seamus. His movements were almost cat like, as if he had muscles where he shouldn't have. Tamerlane could feel the strength that he projected, and he liked it. He knew Harper could feel it as well. His neitzscheans senses told him that the little mans pulse had risen, as well as his temperature and his sweat secretion. He was afraid.
"What are you doing?" He asked the little man again as he crouched by the man hole.
Harper continued to lay on his back ant pretended to work. Sweat was covering his face, and he was shaky. The only person who had been able to do this to him was Tyr, and sometimes Beka. "Uh.. ya know the usual. Fixing the finest ship in the universe, keeping the life support going so you all don't die, saving the day once again.Oh yeah, and getting no thanks for it whatsoever!" His voice was high and squeaky. He was hoping that Andromeda picked up on his vitals and come to save him.
Tamerlane poked his head into the hole. His face was not but inches away from Harper's. His expression was clam yet foreboding. "Really." It was more of an observation than a question.
Harper pulled the welder from behind his head. He shoved it centimeters away from Tamerlane's temple. "I.....I'm warning you ..." Harper choked.
Tamerlane smiled for a slip second. Then without warning he growled/yelled and lunged at the little human. Harper dropped the welder and instinctively curled into little ball with a yelp. He expected to feel pain as the neitzschean ripped him apart, or he expected to here Andromeda's internal defense systems coming in to save her favorite little mechanic.
What he didn't expect was to here laughing. Full belly laughing. Harper raised his head out of the fetal position and to look around. Tammers was sitting on the floor cracking up. Tears fell down his cheeks as he held his stomach in pain.
"oh...hahaha... my ever....loving divine....hahaha.... the look on your face......" Tammy imitated a scared Harper before he broke into laughter again.
Harper's face reddened from embarrassment; how could ha fall for that again? "Ha ha, very funny. Its all fun and games till someone looses a bone blade." Harper waved the welder threateningly in Tammy's direction.
This made Tammers sober, but not totally. After a few moments he was able to calm his laughter and smile up at Harper, "hahahaha.... Relax man. What do you think I am? My father?"
Ok, it defiantly wasn't Harper. *****************************
Dylan sat in his room playing Go by himself, again. he really needed someone to play with. Andromeda wasn't the best choice because well she was an AI, and she could , and would,whip his ass to the next hydrogen cloud.
He placed his white piece on F7. 12 moves until he won. He was about to place his black piece on D6 to counter when Andromeda appeared in front of him. "Captain, we are receiving an emergency transmition form the Eureka Maru."
He immediately abandoned his game. Was Beka in trouble? Ok that was a stupid question. "on screen."
Instead of seeing Beka sitting in her pilots chair with sparks flying around her and alarms blaring, he saw Anjel. Well a very pale looking Anjel, but there were not sparks, no emergency extinguishers, everything seemed to be fine.
Before he could say anything Anjel started on him, "Are you INSANE???!!!!!!"
Dylan was taken aback, "excuse me?" Anjel's mood seemed to get worse," Your sending us to one of the most diseased ridden, criminal infested pieces of trash in the galaxy? Not to mention it was blown up like 6 months ago. Seriously Captain, Do you want us to die?"
Dylan's expression calmed as he began to understand the poor girl in front of him. "I have all confidence that you will be fine. Beka has been to worse places before, and I understand that you know your way around. I think you will have no problems. Is there a reason I should be concerned?"
Anjel looked away from him, not wanting to meet his gaze." Um, No-reason." She said quietly yet quickly.
Dylan crooked his eye brow, "are you sure?"
Anjel still didn't look at him, "Well, I might have, kinda, possibly, maybe, blown the place up just a tiny bit. And I may perhaps be a little wanted for it. But I didn't mean to I swear!!!" She looked up for the last part.
He chucked, well, he had done worse, she had just blown up a drift, he had sent holy warriors to eradicate an entire solar system.
"What are you laughing at?" Anjel spat.
"Beka has some things around the Maru that you can use as a disguise. And I think There is still some makeup laying around from Trance's purple stage. You should be fine." Good old Dylan coming to the rescue.
Anjel brightened, "yeah, yeah, a disguise, it could work."
Dylan brightened, "I have no doubt."
Anjel seemed to already be scheming. Dylan cleared his throat and she snapped back to reality. "Um thank you sir."
Dylan smiled dismissing the girl, "don't get caught Anjelicia."
"yes sir, and sir?"
"yes" Dylan asked.
"Black on A2" Anjel signed off.
Dylan turned around to examine the Go board. Huh, she had won. WOW
