Honored Memories
By: Kryptonite
A/N: I updated, and the masses cheer. I know, I know. We get a Harper memory/dream in this one, just a taste but I know some of you were asking for it. We also find out just what Beka was up to *smirks*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" Harper do this, Harper fix that. Harper, Harper, Harper. I may be a genius but I am one tired one." Harper heaved a sigh before looking up at his loft bed. " I'm sleeping on the floor tonight." He muttered, dragging the blanket and pillows down.
~~~~~
" I was… I was just…" Beka pushed her tongue against her top teeth and then rolled her eyes. " I was trying to beat a Nietzchean at running." Dylan quirked an eyebrow and then looked past Beka to the room which contained Tyr and two treadmills.
" Really?" Dylan sounded astonished.
" Blame Valentine pride. Did you need something?"
" I was just going to ask you if there was any particular place you wanted to have down-time at. Until we get the whole 'Mempulse' situation figured out."
" Not really. Ask Harper, he always knows the best places to go for upgrade parts."
" Planning on upgrading the Maru?" Dylan asked, ignoring the anger radiating from Tyr.
" Just the navigation. It keeps flickering out on me."
" Alright. Try not to let your pride get you killed." Dylan said, clapping her on the arm briefly looking into the room.
" Hasn't killed me yet but I'll try."
" Good. See you next shift." Dylan responded, arms clapping back down to his sides before he turned to leave.
" One more time." Beka muttered to Tyr as she turned to face him. He just grinned like he had gotten everything he ever wanted.

" Get out here!" The voice thundered into the darkened house. The occupants just huddled in darkness, trying to control their breathing. The ten or so people were vanishing one by one down an open tunnel, making sure they made no more noise than a mouse.
" They aren't coming out sir."
" Smoke 'em out." A cruel voice answered back, sneering with disdain.
" Yes sir." The first voice answered before relaying the orders. The people within started to panic.
" Go, go!" A man said, shoving the children toward the open space first, stopping any of the adults from pushing past. " Take care of them Harper." He spoke to the little boy before helping to heave the heavy cover over. The last thing the boy heard was the whistle and glow of a smoke bomb before the cover crashed down on his head knocking him out.
Harper jerked awake on the floor of his room. " Rommie, what time is it?"
" Oh-two-hundred."
" Thank you. Man am I glad I slept on the floor tonight." Because Harper's bed was a loft and he scoffed at the idea of railings, most nightmare-filled nights caught him falling onto the hard metal floor. " I'm installing railings first thing tomorrow. Nothing better to do." The genius engineer puttered around his room, muttering to himself as he got ready for the new day a whole four and a-half-hours early.

" Harper? You're up early." Dylan remarked cheerfully as he strolled in to Machine shop seven where it seemed as if Harper had taken up residence.
" Ha ha ha. Very funny. You need something?"
" Yeah, the crew's got downtime coming up and I don't know where. Anyplace in particular you want or need to go? Also, Beka wants to get some items to upgrade the Maru with so… any ideas?"
" Diphda V, Pierpont, Scheherezade, and Winnipeg. Probably Winnipeg since we need to refuel soon."
" Okay then." Dylan blinked a few times, taking in Harper's unusal bitterness. " Are you alright, Mr. Harper?"
" I'm fine. I've been up since two this morning, but I'm fine." Harper continued to grumble to himself as he banged around the workroom. Dylan backed out slowly, running into Beka in the corridor.
" Everything okay?" Beka asked. A rather loud crash and Harper shouting obscenities in different languages answered her question. " I'll take that as a no."
" I think he's having an off-day." The sound of metal being kicked across the room was followed by sounds of Harper hopping around on one foot. That was followed by a sound of a body falling into a big pile of metal.
" One hell of an off day. So where we headed boss?"
" Winnipeg Drift."
" Nifty. I'll go lay in the course." Beka went to turn around but Dylan stopped her.
" Beka, is something going on with you and Tyr?"
" Nope. Not at all."
" You are a very bad liar."
" I know, but I'm being completely honest when I say nothing is going on."
" Yet." Dylan added after she finished. Beka just licked her lips, sighed and turned around to walk off. " I don't mean to pry."
" You just do because you love me, right Dylan?"
He started chuckling. " Right." Dylan answered, shaking his head and turning in the other direction.
" Right." Tyr said, landing lightly on the floor as he dropped from the opening. He was definitely not laughing.

Shaz- I know, it's just so him! I mean, I do the same thing when I get excited and hyper. Or very nervous!
sparkycola1- Hope this was enough for you and thanks for the muse. Though I think he wanted to work on my other stories more. Here you go, back in one piece… I hope :P
chaser1- Well I'm glad you liked it, hope you review again.
Drakcir- You live in England? Cool! Wish I did, you guys didn't have the break in the Stargate episodes like we did… course I missed like three so it's a good thing. You aren't the only one with a dirty mind so don't worry about it.
Yullia- No I'm not going to bring him in, in any sense. Though that would be a good way…
Rommie's Voice- Still think there is? I might be having a triangle (so not on purpose) between Dylan, Tyr and Beka. Or not I really don't know. I hope not though.
Parisindy- I'm glad you like the story so much. Here's the next chapter.
Littleredhead- Thanks for waiting so patiently. I knew this took way to long but I have 23 other stories and a ton of homework. Sorry!
A/N: Obviously this story, started before the fourth season, is definitely not fitting in with all of our little revelations this season. So from this moment forth, it is officially AU. Sorry for those who didn't want it to but I don't want to try to incorporate the fourth season into this. Especially since Tyr dies (?).
