Leaving Tyr and Rev in charge of the Andromeda, Beka and Dylan went down to the surface of the planet. It had only taken Andromeda two days to locate Rommie's homing signal and it was then that they encountered Bra'don. He had welcomed them to his planet and invited them to the slave trade that he was having in two days.

Beka was taken back at how the planet looked when they touched down. It was a baren world with low long structures that surrounded a large arena. "Nothing, like home sweet home," she said to Dylan as they headed for the arena. "Let's get them and get the hell out of here."

"Sounds like a good idea," Dylan said as he was stopped by a rather large man. "I take it that you're Bra'don."

"And you're Dylan," he said to him, as he shook his hand.

"Yes, I am, and this is my lovely wife, Beka," Dylan said, as he gestured towards Beka.

"Pleasure to meet you." Bra'don took up Beka's hand and kissed it. "So what are you looking for as a slave?"

"Young, pretty," Beka started, as she took up Bra'don's arm. "I'm looking for a young man with blonde hair and a device in his neck."

"Ah, we just got one of those."

"Can we seem them before the sale?"

"Sure." Dylan then followed them, as they went into one of the structures to find that the inside was a prison. "This way." He then came to a stop of a halfway open door and let out a curse as he went inside.

"Is something wrong?" Beka asked him, as she peeked inside the door to see Rommie leaning up against the wall but no signs of Harper and Trance.

"My slaves are gone."

"That's not a good thing." Dylan walked into the cage and looked at Rommie. "How much you want for the Android?"

"What Android?" He then turned around and looked at Rommie. "That's an Android."

"Yes, it's an Android." Beka looked up at Bra'don. "So how much you want for an Android?"

"Not that much, they are a waste. You don't get much money from them, because they are hard to work with. They have undivided loyalty to their old masters."

"So how much?"

"A hundred, should do me."

"Okay," Beka said, as she turned to face Dylan. "Honey, pay the good man."

"Okay, darling," Dylan said, as he took out the money and gave it to Bra'don. "Here you go. What do you think happened to the others?"

"They were stolen," a man said, as he came up Bra'don with a video screen. "By Freddie and his stupid cousin Bubba." They then watched as two men broke into the cell, and took Trance and Harper out of the room by force. They then went out of the structure, boarded a small ship, and took off.

"Get those slaves back," Bra'don ordered the men. "The purple one alone is worth millions."

"Yes, sir," the men said, as they took off.

"You'll have to excuse me," Bra'don said to Dylan and Beka. "But I have to go." He then left them alone with Rommie.

"Tyr, we got Rommie," Dylan communicated with him, as he helped her up to her feet. "All Rommie, let's get you back to the ship."

"I couldn't do anything to help Trance and Harper," Rommie said, as she struggled to walk, and Beka came to her other side. "They came in and took them. They didn't want me."

"It's okay, Rommie, we'll get them back." They then took her to the Maru and headed back to the Andromeda. "Okay, let's find those two."
