Disclaimer: I don't own the Andromeda or it's characters.
Suddenly Andromeda sounds the intruder alert.
Rhone: Intruders. How.
Before she finishes that thought the Andromeda is shut down to minimal power and a Nietzschean comes into the room. A gun pointed a Harper. Before Rhone can think her bone blades come out and are buried in the Nietzschean. He's dead before he hit's the ground. Rhone just looks at the dead Nietzschean.
Harper: Rhone you...
Rhone: I... killed him. I... didn't.
Harper: You saved me.
Rhone looks up.
Rhone: Of course. Why wouldn't I?
Four more Nietzschean come into the room. Rhone stands infront of Harper prepared to fight. They see the dead Nietzschean. Rhone recognizes something on their jackets.
Rhone: I am Rhone of Linncex out of Metara. Stop now.
The Nietzscheans stop and start to bow. Rhone looks at Harper slightly confused.
Rhone: Tell the others to stop.
One Nietzschean steps forward.
Nietzschean: I am Torum of Maren out of Xela. As you wish my lady.
Harper looks at Rhone weird. Torum reaches up to hit Harper. Rhone catches his arm.
Rhone: You hit him I kill you.
Torum: I'm sorry my lady. Your slave will not be hit, if not by your own hand.
Rhone: I like his face it will not be touched.
Torum: Yes my lady. As you wish. If I may be so bold, where is lady Terran if she still travels with you.
Rhone: Terran is somewhere I don't care. Leave.
Torum: Yes my lady.
Screen beside Torum comes on.
Rhone: Wait.
Terran: This is odd, but it works.
Rhone: Hmm. Where are you at?
Terran: I'm on the command deck.
Rhone: She's on the command deck, now leave.
The Nietzscheans leave. Harper looks at Rhone.
Harper: How are you royalty?
Rhone: I don't know. I recognized something on their jackets. My biological parents always talked about how that symbol was great power over the Dragans. They told me to recite my title when I see it. I did and that's what happened.
Harper: What? How over the Dragans? The Dragans are blood thirsty killers.
Rhone looks at her feet.
Harper: Rhone?
Rhone looks up.
Rhone: I'm not.
Harper: You're not what?
Rhone: A blood thirsty killer.
Realization dawned on Harper.
Harper: You're a Dragan?
Rhone nods. Harper looks at her.
Harper: You are in no way a blood thirsty Dragan. Now Terran on the other hand.
Rhone looks up and smiles. She thinks for a second.
Rhone: Harper one of those Nietzscheans wasn't a complete idiot and knew that you weren't my slave. You have to leave.
