Honored Memories

By: Kryptonite

A/N: Okay I'm saying sorry now for how long this took to get out. But I spent the first five weeks of summer at summer school (gym blagh!) and then another two weeks out of state at my mothers house and I didn't want to risk my disks getting broken on the plane ride. Not to mention I hit a snag called writers' block. Then school started back up and my life has just been hectic this summer.

Well anyway, here's the fourth long awaited chapter, sorry it's short but I thought it was a good place to leave off. Enjoy!

" In light of this new, ah-hem, development, no one is to use the machine under any circumstances. Understood?"

" Um Dylan?" Tyr said, raising his hand into the air.

" With the exception of you, Tyr. Is that understood." A mumbled chorus of 'yes sirs' answered back at him. " Okay, good. Everyone get to work." Dylan headed out of the room to his own quarters to catch up on some much-needed sleep.

" Alrighty then. Bye kids." Harper said, pausing and looking around the room before bolting out the door after Dylan and turning into the machine shop. " Privacy mode." He muttered quickly, the doors sliding shut and locking behind him.

" I have to go water my plants." Trance said into the uncomfortable silence, slipping out past Rommie who simply stood, arms crossed watching the two stare at each other.

" Rommie? Could you leave."

" In a sense no matter what goes on here I'll be able to-"

" Yes but could you take the physical, three dimensional sense of you out of this room please?" Beka interrupted the android.

" Fine." Rommie said simply, blinking rapidly and left the room.

" So…"

" You left Tyr. End of story."

" Harper what are you doing." The engineer jumped at the sound of another voice in the machine shop; he had been so engrossed in his work.

" Nothing." He said guiltily, trying to pull a sheet over the metal.

" Yes you are. What are you building?" Trance tried to see around Harper and just managed to catch a glimpse when he pulled the rest of the sheet over and around.

" Nothing, nothing."

" Harper I thought Dylan said not to touch the device."

" He never said I had to stop building the second one." Harper protested. Trance simply stared at him a moment before speaking.

" Okay. I want to find out something, but I'll need you to help me."

" Whatever you want my little goddess."

" I need you to finish building that machine and then let me observe you using it."

" WHAT! NO FREAKIN' WAY! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!"

" Oh come on Harper, please?!" Trance begged the younger man, all but draping herself over him. Harper growled angrily and in frustration and agreed.

" Fine."

" Thank you Harper." Trance said, kissing him on the cheek in her excitement.

" I hate you." He muttered venomously.

" No you don't. Finish that machine would ya? And quick." Trance said as she sashayed her way out of the room.

" Yes I do." He muttered, turning back to the metal work and his tools, sinking once more into the building oblivion.

Hebe- Glad you like the story line and sorry it took so long to get up!

Drakcir- No not Harper's turn and Trance is acting like she always is when there is a possibility of her past coming up. I mean, has anyone else noticed how she wigs out almost everytime?

Yullia- Although Dylan and Rommie would make a good couple I think she's better off with Captain Metis from the ship Bellerophon. That's just my opinion. (Episode 305 'The Lone and Level Sands')

Rommie's Voice- Yeah that whole Tyr/Beka thing in the background does help the story don't it? And I don't know, I'd have to think of something for it to be, but I was planning on focusing mainly on Harper. *shrugs*

Kingleby- Poor Harper… poor me having to live up to such praise! :) I'll tell that later when Trance's experiment goes on. We'll be seeing a lot of Harper's memories.

Gotmilk- I just had to write that. I mean, couldn't you just see Harper doing/saying something like that?

Gordon AI- Because it most likely is, I'm sorry to say. But everything must go down before it can go up again.

Littleredhead- Here's some more. It's not a bunch but you got me off my butt and writing it so there ya go.
