Ok, since you guys were so great with the feedback, I wrote another chapter for you.

Harper's POV

He wasn't sure what had happened, or how he got here. Wherever "here" was. He had gotten Archology to slipstream, he knew that. But it had been too late, the people were already dead. Dylan, Trance, Rhade? He didn't know. He hoped they were alive, but even if they were, he wouldn't know how to find them. First he had to figure out where he was. From what he remembered, the magog had put him in a hidden escape pod. But was that possible? Somehow he didn't think so. But what other explanation could there be?

He was in a room, not heavily furnished. It looked like some kind of hideout. He was laying on some kind of bed, but it was more like a bunch of blankets on top of one another. He'd had worse, though. As he walked around the not so large room, he heard someone come in the door. He turned around to see, and immediately went white. "No.... it couldn't be."

Dylan's POV

Trance had forced him to leave. But those people... they had looked at him as their hero, their savior. And he had left them to be eaten.

She saw his expression, knew what he was thinking.

"Dylan, it was too late for them. If we hadn't left, we would've been eaten too. And the universe still needs us. At least, it still needs you."

"And so did those people. And I failed them. Yeah, I'm a big hero."

"Dylan, you are one of the Paradi!"

"Paridi, my ass. I'm a man trying to single-handedly save the universe, and failing miserably. "

"No, Dylan. Not if you keep fighting. That was one battle, we have not lost the war."

"Trance, I don't know if I have it in me to keep fighting."

"Well, I know you do. We need to go to a planet called Auringinura, that's where they will strike next. And I think you can save these people."

He sighed. "When do we need to leave?"

"We have a few days to rest." They didn't, but she knew he needed it.

"Trance, did the others survive?"

"I know at least one did. Who it was, and if they were the only survivor, I don't know."

He nodded, and walked to his room. The Andromeda had been destroyed; all they had was the slipfighter they had gone to Archology in, and a lot of money. If there was one thing the commonwealth was good for, that was it. He had never been more thankful to be able to buy rooms in a hotel.

Beka's POV

She went into the only other slip point going out of this place. She knew they hadn't gone out of the one she came in, that only left one option. So, she went into slipstream. What she found was what she expected.

Archology was there, but there was no way anyone had survived. The worldship must have fired on it after they killed everyone, because there was almost nothing left of it. Unless they had left shortly after her, they were dead. But they could be on the planet... but did she even want to look, probably just to find more disappointment? Besides, they could've come with her, but they let her leave without a fight. They didn't want her. But something in her heart kept telling her to look...

Harper's POV

It was the magog. Rev's descendent, the one who had marked him for infestation. Apparently he had saved Harper, probably just to kill him here.

"No, no, please!" He cried desperately.

"I do not wish to hurt you."

"Yeah, that's why you marked me for infestation!"

"He speaks the truth, Harper."

He turned. It couldn't be... but it was.

"Rev?"

Rev bowed his head. "Yes.''

"But-"

"I have seen the error of my ways, young human. Rev has been a wonderful teacher."

"Yeah, well forgive me if I don't feel comfortable in the same room with someone who recently threatened to make me re-live my worst nightmare."

"I understand. My magog name is 'Blood Hunter'. However, I wish people to call me Rev Baero. I am still learning the way from my uncle, I hope to be as good as he is one day."

"Rev, do I have to sleep in the same house as him?"

Rev chuckled. "No, Harper. I know how you feel about our kind. We shall find our friends who survived the attack, and you will continue to fight for the universe with them."

This was the first time he had allowed himself to believe someone else had lived. "Rev, they're alive?"

"I certainly know that some of them are. Who lived and where they are is a mystery, but they must be close by. Without the Andromeda, they couldn't have gone far, they'd need to stock up on food and supplies. The worldship left mere hours ago, I expect they are still on the same planet as us."

Harper brightened at this thought. "Yeah, they may be!" Then another thought hit him, one that killed him inside. "But not Beka. She left, and the last time I talked to her...." He almost started crying. "I don't think she made it."

Rev looked at him pityingly. "Harper, there is always a chance."

"I know, I guess... I just don't want to hope, then have that hope crushed."

"I know, Harper, I feel the same way."

Rommie's POV

Damn that magog who blew a hole in her. She needed Harper, but she couldn't find him. Her battery was running low, and she had a FREAKING HOLE in the middle of her stomach!!!!! She continued to walk around. If she could find any of her crew, she'd be happy.
