Honored Memories
By: Kryptonite
A/N: Short chapter again. But I think short chapters are better because it then doesn't take you years to wade through it.

" Harper?"
" Yes my gold-skinned goddess?" He answered, turning to face Trance.
" Why did you tell Dylan you weren't done?" She stood in the door, leaning against it, keeping the doors from sliding closed.
" What do you mean? I still have some modifications to make-"
" Lying to me isn't easy Harper, and you've never been that good." Trance walked closer, letting the doors hiss shut behind her. " Why did you tell Dylan it isn't done?" Harper swallowed as Trance got closer, causing him to be pinned to the table.
" Because I don't want anyone to use this stupid thing." Harper mumbled, staring at Trance. Looking into his eyes and seeing the residual fear hidden in their depths Trance took a step back, shaking her head.
" I'm sorry I tried to force you into using the machine."
" It's okay." Harper said, rubbing his neck while looking at the golden beauty. " Is there anything else I can help you with?"
" No Harper, not now. Just… get some sleep, okay? You've been working too hard lately."
" Sure thing." Harper watched Trance walk out before going back to working on the machine. He really did have a few adjustments to make to the machine. Harper glanced to the side table and back to the current metal he was working on. Something neither Dylan nor Trance had noticed, Harper had built five other machines, identical to the first.

" Beka?" Dylan asked, stepping cautiously into the Maru.
" In here." Beka called. When Dylan entered the room he found Beka hanging from the ceiling re-wiring a few items.
" Having fun?"
" Oh yeah," Beka grinned, slightly breathless. " Blood rushing to your head is better than Flash."
" I'll take your word for it." Dylan chuckled slightly as Beka pulled herself up before removing her legs from the hole she had pushed them into and dropping to the floor.
" Need something?" Beka asked wiping her hands on her pants for no reason.
" I'll need a pilot in a little bit. I was thinking of making a jump to follow the Perseid."
" Sounds fun." Beka grinned at Dylan as the two went to walk up to the Andromeda's command deck. " How are we going to track him though?" Dylan placed an arm around Beka's shoulders.
" Do you honestly think Harper doesn't place tags on any of his inventions?" Beka started laughing then, knowing that the Perseid had screwed up when asking for Harper's Bell. If it was still on board his ship it would be easy to track.

sparkycola1- I'm starting to think you're my adoring fan. Here's more. And yes that chapter did end rather short, didn't it? But I did warn you that it was short at the very top. I'm glad you think I have Harper down to an art. That's always my number one concern when I'm not writing my own characters.
Ash- I'm glad you read my story religiously, must say something for my writing, right? LOL
A/N: We have Harper/Trance and Dylan/Beka interaction. So the did the Perseid screw up? Is Trance really seriously going to back off of Harper using the machine? What in the 'verse is going to happen to Tyr? Will I ever update in less than a month's time? So many questions, so few answers.
