Thanks again for all the wonderful comments...it's more then I could have
ever expected.
Sorry just a snippet for now..
Trance led the way as She and Beka searched for the rest of the crew. As she suspected an escape pod was missing.
"Do you think all three were aboard?" Queried Beka.
"I'm not sure to tell you the truth. Some how I think this is all different from what I expected."
"Different how?"
Trance hunched her shoulders and twitched her tail. "Everything seems not quite right. I feel like I've known Harper a lot longer than I have and that he should be with Tyr not with us. Dylan should be here but he's not. Rev Bem as always is where he should be. It's like everything is all out of line."
Beka stared at her with a confused look. "Trance I've know you a very long time. When I met you on that drift I knew right away you were my lucky charm. Your hunches are never wrong. Plus I've never heard speak so openly about them. What's different this time?"
Trance smiled softly. "I can't explain it other then I'm learning. My 'hunches' are changing and in many ways getting stronger. I'm just trying to understand them like you are. But as much as this feels wrong it feels right to. I've always known there are infinite possibilities for each action. But this doesn't seem like an alternate possibility... more of an alternate plane."
"Either way," Beka smirked. "We need to find out what happened to the boys. Probably the best course of action from here would be to get back to Harper and see if we can do some repairs."
Harper did his best to train his gauss gun on the door but his hands shook. Back on earth he had found a gun but when Dad found it he took it away. He had just wanted to take it apart he didn't want to shoot it or anything. Fergus had wanted to he said they could maybe kill a Neitzschean or a Magog with it. Seamus had told him he was an idiot that would just bring more trouble then it was worth. His Dad said they would just end up blowing off their own 'fool heads.' His dad had used a gun when he came and rescued him from Dionysus but other then that time he had never seen his dad with a weapon. Dad had always said use your brains not your fists.
For once in his life he had wished he hadn't listened to his father. Maybe if he had listened to Fergus instead he would feel more confident now. Then again he might be dead.
He became so completely focused on the door and his racing thoughts that he didn't here the soft movement behind him till it was nearly to late. His sore body be damned he swung to the left and fired.
A dark figure, moving faster then something that sized should, dodged the bolt of light as it leapt forward with a growl.
Harper felt the gun being knocked from his hand so hard that his wrist went numb and he yelped with fright. "Don't kill me," he screeched as he through his hands up to protect his face.
"Who's trying to kill who boy?"
Harper looked up through his arms. "Tyr?" He sobbed with relief. "I thought you were dead and then Beka had to go and I thought the Magog were coming..."
Tyr placed a hand over Harper's mouth stopping the barrage of words. "Shhh, They are just on the other side of the door."
Harper blinked with surprise. So he had heard something. It wasn't just his imagination. Harper breathed hard through his nose and held his breath listening.
Tyr removed his hand. "Now we have made enough noise it won't be long before they are here. We need to go. Can you walk?"
Harper looked down at his leg. He actually wasn't sure. "Trance gave me nanobots but I don't know."
Tyr picked Harper up and tossed him over his shoulder like a sack of grain.
A whoosh of air left his body as his stomach hit Tyr's shoulder and his ribs protested. "Hey!" He squeaked.
Tyr stared to walk towards a conduit that Harper hadn't known existed. He started to struggle a little. "Tyr, we can't go Trance and Beka will be looking for me here and the Magog will get them!"
"They can take care of them selves, they have proven that. Besides I have other concerns."
"We looked for you we couldn't find you..."
"Boy, quiet! We're leaving the Andromeda and I would like it if we made our exit in one piece."
