Touching Down
The next few hours in the brig were cramped and uncomfortable for all parties involved. By silent accord Harper was seated at Tyr's feet in a classically submissive posture. This was done because none of Bolivar's men knew the exact relationship between the engineer and weapon's officer.
While Nietzschean's are many things including cruel, merciless and vindictive, they respect familial claims as sacred. By claiming Harper as a mate, rather than a consort, Tyr extended his protection to the smaller man as well.
Although the other Nietzschean's may be disgusted, they will respect Tyr's claim on his 'husband.' That is not to say that they will use Harper as harshly as other, just that they will not try to harm him in a sexual manner without first challenging Tyr for the right. Likewise if Harper were to get out of line, Tyr would be punished with him since he claimed responsibility for the human.
After living on Earth for twenty years Harper was aware of many Nietzschean rituals and practices. Therefore he knew the significance of Tyr's assertion, and was trying his hardest to be as little trouble as possible.
Since he had entered the brig he had said a little fewer than ten words, and even when he felt the ship landing on the surface of a planet he only reacted non-verbally by looking at Tyr in question. The lack of speech and pretending to be docile was having an effect on Harper's temper but he managed to keep it under the surface until it could be of use to their escape. Right before a guard collected them to bring the prisoners to the surface of the unknown planet, Bolivar deigned to speak.
"Well, well kludge it looks like there is no reason for me to keep quiet about your past exploits now is there?"
"Just because we are captive does not mean that I couldn't see to it something accidentally tragic were to happen to you." Harper answered impassively. "Of course if I did nothing and Captain Hunt finds us as soon as you all think he will than I will make sure you are dumped off at the first uninhabitable planet we come across."
"Come now Mister Harper you overstate your control of the good ship Andromeda and her esteemed Captain." Bolivar smirked at Harper's bravado.
"Do I?"
"There is of course a third reason." Tyr interjected into the tense conversation.
"Is there?" Bolivar questioned in an amused tone of voice only to be cut off as Tyr wrapped his upper arm around his throat.
"Yes Bolivar there is." Tyr whispered menacingly against Bolivar's ear, watching impassively as the other gasped for much-needed air. "I could snap your neck right here for threatening my mate."
Tyr loosened his grip on Charlemagne's neck only enough for the Archduke to suck in a few breaths to keep from suffocating.
"Mate?" Bolivar gasped painfully, trying to pull at Tyr's arm ineffectually.
"Yes my mate." Tyr answered, looking around for the first time at the hostile men close to moving against him for attacking their leader. "I expect all of you to treat him with the respect accorded to a Nietzschean Alpha. If not I will become most displeased."
As he said displeased he tightened his grip on the blonde Jaguar threateningly
"Do you understand?" Tyr asked softly leaning over so that he was face to face with Bolivar but keeping a stern grip of his throat.
"Yes." Bolivar hissed out furiously.
"Good. I would hate to have this little talk again." Tyr said menacingly before releasing the Archduke.
A few minutes later a guard came into the brig to escort them to the surface of the planet. Once they had left the ship and began walking toward a large building surrounded by dense forest. As they walked into the compound Harper was surprised to see the lavish furniture and lush architecture. That coupled with the half-dressed men and women lounging about and Harper came to one very troubling conclusion. They had been taken to a secret Nietzschean brothel.
