Telling Tyr
Harper walked the silent corridor by Dylan's side as they made their way to the command deck. As he entered Harper saw Tyr stationed at tactical, looking over battle plans and checking the ammo supply. He didn't even look up when the two of them entered the bridge, unlike Beka and Trance who came over to greet them.
"Did you decide what you wanted to do?"
"Yeah. Negotiate with the Jaguars." Harper responded. "Just when I thought I got rid of Nietzscheans. Damn."
"So you and Tyr are going on a mission together?" Trance asked incredulously.
"I am shocked that I'm even going on a mission at all." Harper answered. "I'll take what I can get."
"Are you okay with this, Harper?" Rev asked worriedly.
"Well, it's better than the Magog." Harper answered caustically, only to wince when he realized whom he was talking to. "No offense."
"None taken." Rev Bem answered graciously, bowing to Harper humbly.
"Big Guy, ya hear that?" Harper called out enthusiastically to Tyr. "We're going to negotiate with the Jaguars."
Only then did Tyr stop what he was doing and pay attention to his crewmates.
"I was under the impression that Captain Hunt and myself would be handling that venture, while the little professor stayed onboard the Andromeda."
"I gave Mister Harper the choice." Hunt explained. "He chose to accompany you to meet Bolivar."
"He will get in my way." Tyr announced arrogantly, looking at the blonde engineer with disdain. "There will be no ship repairs to be done, boy. You will have no purpose being there."
"Harper's handy to have around." Beka interjected lightly, ruffling the engineer's hair.
"Be that as it may," Tyr acknowledged. "If the negotiations are to be accomplished the presence of a… human… will weaken our position."
Harper continued to stare at Tyr as the other crewmembers tried to convince the Kodiak into letting Harper come along. Harper was silently stewing glaring at the impassive Nietzschean. [Son of a bitch! Who does he think he is?]
"You meant to say kludge, didn't you?" Harper growled, staring the taller man in the eye. For once the humorous glint to Harper's eyes were missing, making the tiny engineer look somewhat menacing. "Or perhaps mudfoot?"
"Boy, I am trying to keep you out of trouble. Keep quiet." Tyr responded, looking vastly annoyed.
"Don't do me any favors." Harper exclaimed, ignoring the others who tried to interrupt the escalating conflict. "I can take care of myself."
Tyr's only response was a disbelieving snort before he turned to look at the Captain.
"If you want the child to accompany me, then he will. But I am warning you, the charter merits are precarious at best and if the Jaguars are confronted by an Earther their estimate of your strength could very well plummet."
"We'll take our chances." Hunt acknowledged pragmatically. "Harper is a member of this crew, if the Nietzscheans will have a problem working together with him then I would rather know now rather than later."
"Very well." Tyr agreed reluctantly.
"Good, glad that you agree. You'll leave in an hour."
