OMG! I'm so srry for the REALLY long update wait... But lets just say - School sucks.

I dont own Andromeda. Remember that so I dont have to put it every time...

-.- Chapter Eight -.-

"Hey Trance, did you see that?" Beka asked. The two were on the Maru relaxing, and saw Andromeda's lights go off without warning.

"Yea..." Trance said, obviously confused herself.

"What do you thinks going on over there?"

"I dont know..." Trance said. "We should wait here... If its something serisous, they'll come here."

-.-

"Ow! Andormeda! Romm-Doll! Lights!" Harper called, trying to get out of enginering without any permenant damage to his head.

"Ow!" he yelled once again, tripping and slamming into a wall.

"What happended to the lights!!"

-.-

"Andromeda, lights." Dylan said for the fifth time. Not even his command was working. Quickly, he walked down the corridor, not needing a light. He knew where he was going off by heart.

-.-

"Rhade, quit trying, its not going to work." Rommie said, watching as her friend tried to open the doors manually. Over and over the two had tried again and again, but the doors and lights wouldnt work.

"Can you get your AI online yet?" Rhade asked, finally giving up to stand infront of her.

"No. Theres a very strong fire wall preventing me from getting to her."

Rhade nodded his head, and looked around. There was nothing that could help them. "And you cant get online yourself?" he asked.

Rommie sighed. "I can, but I cant get to the survanlence camers or infer-reds. The only thing I do have is gravity control and internal defences."

"What about intercom? Lights, navigation?"

"Nothing, complete fire wall."

"Whoever did this is a perfessional."

-.-

Dylan walked straight towards command, and stopped at the door. When they didnt open, he went over to the control pannel and pushed the open button. When they still wouldnt open, he tool out his force lance and shot it. Sparks flew, and the doors slowly opened, only to stop a second after.

Rommie and Rhade both saw the movment of the doors and were soon infront of them, force lances raised just in case.

"Relax, its just me." Dylan said. Both of them put thier weapsons away and moved over to the doors. Within a few moments the two had pulled open the doors and were now on thier way with Dylan towards the Maru.

-.-

"Beka? Trance?" Harper called as he entered the Maru. Surprisingly enough, he was able to find his way around without running into most of Andromeda's walls once inside a corridor.

"Harper!" the two called running up to thier friend.

"Are you okay?" Trance asked, tracing her fingers over the small bump on his head.

"Yeah... Just ran into some walls." he said quietly.

"Harper, did you cause the black out?" Beka asked, looking at her newly turned 15 year old enginer.

"I swear I didint!" Harper held his hands up, and took a small step back. Last time he had done something wrong it took four hours for Rommie to figure out what he had damaged, and another four hours to help him fix it correctly.

"Then what happend?" Trance asked.

"Good question. I'll have ta get back to you on that one."

"So we dont know whats going on?"

"Nope. Not one clue."

"Hey, wheres that high gaurd inspector guy?" Beka asked, causing all three of them to look around.

They didnt know that awnser either.

-.-

"So you two have no clue whats going on?" Dylan asked after Rhade had told him everything.

"Not one." Rommie and Rhade said at the same time.

"Alright... Have you seen McCallen?"

"No."

"Interessting."

The three kept on walking, but slowly Rommie started to stop, looking around suspiously.

"Whats wrong Rommie?" Rhade asked, noticing she'd stopped walking.

"This isnt the right deck..." she said, looking over her shoulder. "We just went two decks up."

"Thats impossible, I take this way all the time." Dylan said.

"Actually, she's right." McCallen said, appearing from no where infront of them. "I'm surprised she caught on this early! The three of you have already been on four different decks already. I'll have to make things harder this time." he said, then ran off to his right.

"Get him!" Rhade said as the three sprinted off after him, but by the time they turned the corner, he was gone.

-.- End Chapter -.-
