Iara- thanks! (Cute in a good way, right?) Like i said at the end of "Illusions" I'm doing as super-slow romance, so don't expect many more of moments like that in this fanfic. (Maybe one or two more, but don't get your hopes up!) More romance-y stuff in the sequel! Yeah, I no, not done w/ this & I already have plans 4 a sequel! There must be something wrong w/ me! :P
prin69- yes, they can to be infected! (Sorry if I'm sounding snobby!):P ok, about the muse... go into Microsoft word or somesuch, put the font as "Courier New", size 10. then type the open quotes, space, then the closed quotes. Enter, small o, space, small o. enter, space, then shift and the period button, then 3 or 4 spaces and write "Mr. Smuggles". Enter, space, capital O. does that make sense? If it does, make sure you tell people who it's from!
Oenone- I'll continue ASAP!
Y'all are so nice to me! Keep the reviews comin'!
Chapter 6
"Creepy," Harper muttered as they stepped out of the Maru onto the station. "Power's on, still pressurized, AG fields operational..." He suddenly bent over with a pained cry. "And bio-weapon now operational," he said through gritted teeth.
Trance came on Dylan's wrist-receiver. "Guys, I don't want to rush you, but Liara's in bad shape. I give her about two hours. Maybe. Please hurry?"
"We're hurrying, Trance, we're hurrying," Harper said. "We don't wanna end up as food for a scary blue bio-weapon either, ya know."
Trance smiled. "That's the spirit, Harper." She cut the transmission.
"Ok, let's split up," Dylan said. "Harper, Rommie, you're with me. Rhade, Beka, you go that way," he pointed at one corridor. "We'll go the other."
"Gotcha," Beka said. Dylan, Rommie, and Harper walked away, leaving Beka alone with Telemachus.
"Let's go," Beka said after a somewhat awkward silence, walking down the corridor.
"It's like a ghost town," Beka murmured.
"It should be," Telemachus responded. "If there are still researchers walking around after the station was infected, then there is something very wrong."
Beka made a face. "I was just making conversation."
Telemachus grunted, and they walked in somewhat strained silence.
"Damn," Beka said. "Dead end."
"Computer terminal," Telemachus pointed out as they rounded the corner.
"Is it still activated?" Beka asked, coming up beside him.
"I think so," he said, experimentally pushing a few buttons.
A pleasant female computer voice responded, "Please enter authorization code, or internal defenses will activate in ten seconds. Nine. Eight..."
"Shit!" Beka snarled.
"Incorrect," the voice responded. "Seven. Six..."
Quickly, Telemachus said, "Authorization code Omega Blue."
"Correct," the voice responded. "Welcome, researcher." A henceforth hidden door opened.
Beka raised Dylan on her wrist-comm. "Dylan. We found a way in."
