Chapter 5

"Bobby where did you get this?" Harper heard Beka's muffled voice through the door. He and Fred had their ears propped up against the door.

"Mater Vexpag, Master Harper, it is not polite to spy." Rev's voice came. Harper and Fred jumped out of their skin.

"Jesus Rev, how many times have I told you not to do that?" Fred asked.

"How many times have I told you not to spy on Beka?" Rev answered.

"Eh, technically we weren't spying. We were eavesdropping." Harper said.

"Either way, if Beka wanted you informed, you would be." Rev said.

"Fine, fine, I'm going back to work."

Inside Beka's room, Bobby was pacing as Beka stared at the flexi.

"Bobby where did you get this?" She asked again.

"In town when I was going to a bar." Beka shot him a look.

"I said don't go to any bars, not on this place. Who knows what they put in their beer."

"Anyway, I saw this."

"This just isn't, isn't possible!" Beka said, sighing. "What happened?"

"I dunno." Bobby said pulling Beka in for a hug.

The flexi lay abandoned on the floor. It read:

WARNING:

SEAMUS HARPER, HUMAN, MALE, 5 FOOT 8, BLONDE HAIR, BLUE EYES.

SEAMUS HARPER HAS BEEN PLOTTING AGAIST THE METTICALLE 4 GOVERNMENT.

HE HAS ALSO COMMITTED GENOCIDE. KILLED A THOUSAND METTICALLE NATIVES!

HE WILL BE KILLED AS SOON AS SEEN.

There was another flexi, one that worried Beka more. She didn't believe Harper would do that.

WARNING: EUREKA MARU HAS BEEN SPOTTED. THE CREW OF THE MARU STOLE A SHUTTLE FROM INFINITY ATOLL. THEY ARE ARMED AND EXTREMLY DANGEROUS. DO NOT APPROACK THESE INDIVIDUALS! REPORT SIGHTINGS TO LOUDRO VANeSCAPI

The Maru had not stolen a shuttle. On Infinity, Loudro VanEscapi had hired the Maru to transport some cargo and himself from Infinity to Sanscarei. On the way, Loudro tried to get a little "friendly" with Beka. Bobby saw what he was doing and Beka ejected his cargo and Bobby beat him to a pulp. Apparently, his cargo was irreplaceable. They were stolen artifacts from ancient civilization on Infinity. That of course made Loudro mad. He had been after them ever since.

"What are we going to do?" Bobby asked.

"Well, we have to see what Harper has done, try to help him so we can get off this planet faster." Beka said.

"Beka, once we are gone, I suggest...selling the Maru. Buying a new ship. Throw him off."

"No one is selling my ship."

"Beka..."

"No! this has been my home all my life and I will be damned if I lose it now!"

Bobby sighed. "Alright, alright."

Harper was working as fast as we could. He had seen the sign they had. They probably thought he was a mass murderer too. He had to finish his job and get away!

Fred walked in as Harper was juts finishing patching up the hull breach.

"Hey."

"Hey Fred." Harper said.

"I don't believe it." He said.

"Huh?"

"That you committed genocide. I don't believe it. Neither does Beka." With that he was gone.

Harper just stared at the door where he had been.

"Harper?" Beka asked walking in.

"Yea Boss Lady?"

"Are you finished?"

"Yeah, almost got it all done."

"We need to go now."

"You can, just hope you don't mind not being able to land on a surface."

"Not a problem. Look Harper..."

Uh oh, here it comes.

"Bobby brought me back some...uh...news. And it turns out we gotta jet right away. We don't have an engineer but we would like you to come aboard. After all, they want you for genocide. You cant stay here!"

"You don't think I did it then?!" Harper asked.

"No! All I know is we gotta go now! There are some angry Metticalleis coming this way!"

"What??"

"They are 2000 meters out."

"Shit."
