Battle's End
Harper, Rev Bem and Tyr ran down the corridor parallel to the bridge shooting Magog as they went. Harper only just noticed a swarm coming at them from the front as they turned the last corner, as Tyr began dispatching them viciously.
Harper had only shot one and knifed another in the stomach when he noticed that the other eight or so had already been incapacitated by Rev and Tyr. Harper had to grin as his mate sneered at one of the fallen bodies; pulling his blade out of its throat and wiping the blood clean on its fur.
"Vulturous creatures." Tyr mumbled as he stepped over their dead carcasses. "Did we encounter these… things… many times before, that I can not remember?"
"Not on the Andromeda." Harper answered thoughtfully, remembering the various such encounters he had with the Magog while still on Earth. "I don't know if you've encountered the Magog before you came onboard however."
The rest of the journey was uneventful, and they met no more Magog before they came upon the locked down bridge. Without further ado Harper pulled out his jack and entered Andromeda's consciousness.
"Hey babe, did you miss me?" Harper asked cockily.
"It is about time you showed up. The others are already inside."
"Be happy we got here at all, Doll." Harper groused, looking down at his still bleeding arm and side.
"Are you functional?" Andromeda asked in concern, blinking in and out distractedly.
"Fully functional, baby." Harper leered to cover his pain, trying to look properly lecherous. "I could give you a demonstration if you want."
"That will not be necessary." She answered coldly, glaring at her unrepentant engineer. "I will open the doors. See that you get in here immediately before more Magog attack."
"Ma'am, yes ma'am." Harper saluted in a cheeky manner before returning to his physical body with a jolt. "The doors should open… now."
As soon as he spoke the bridge doors opened and the three walked inside. Harper didn't get more then two steps when Trance jumped him wrapping her tail protectively around his back.
"I was so worried about you." She murmured holding him tightly. Harper did his best not to flinch when her tail hit his side by mistake. Thankfully Trance noticed almost immediately and quickly released him, especially when Tyr let out a low growl and stepped menacingly in her direction.
"Good to see you all relatively in one piece." Dylan spoke for the first time, smirking at Tyr's possessive attitude.
"Speak for yourself, boss."
"Let's get Andromeda properly vented and the intruders off our decks." Beka hissed, fingering a cut on her forehead fiercely.
"Captain?" Andromeda questioned from the view screen. Dylan nodded in agreement. Soon thereafter the lights dimmed and the emergency lighting turned on. "Commencing venting. Bridge secured. Venting in 5...4...3...2...1. Venting oxygen now."
The crew held their breath as the silence lengthened until finally the lights turned back on and the doors opened.
"Venting complete."
"And the Magog?" Beka asked.
"There are currently no Magog left onboard." Andromeda answered matter-of-factly, ignoring the cheering from her crew although if one watched closely her lips did quirk upwards slightly.
