Chapter 5

"Damn it! Where is he?!" Beka said frustration and worry both etched on her face, "you would think we'd find at least a clue but it's been almost two days and we haven't even found a hint of the enemy ship ever being here!!"

"Calm down Beka, we'll find him." Trance said obviously trying to settle Beka's nerves but also her own. Honestly she had no idea where he was, and that scared her more then she allowed to show. Everyone else were obviously feeling the same as Beka. They first had to fix the many problems given to the ship, which made them miss Harper even more and helped them realize how hard his job is.

"There has to be something we're missing..." Dylan said thoughtfully, "Rommie do you have anything in your database that might help?"

"There isn't anything for me to refer to, if we had a lead then that would be different." Rommie said, even though she sounded monotonic her captain could se in her eyes how hard the kidnapping of her engineer was hitting her. Then a light went on somewhere inside his head...

"Do we know what pride these nietchians are from? That could narrow down the search." Dylan said directing the question mainly to Beka who seemed to know the most about the people who abducted Mr. Harper.

"I would guess that they're from the Drago Katzov cause those are the ubers that took over Earth." Beka said.

"That doesn't mean that the nietchians who took Master Harper are of that pride; though they might have enslaved him the Drago Katzov probably sold him to other nietchians long before you obtained him, Beka." Rev replied looking very distraught over the way the things beings did to one another.

"Great! Now we're back to square one!" Beka said once again voicing her frustrations. Then Tyr who had been very quite through out the entire conversation stepped forward.

"Not necessarily, Ship may we please see a picture of Harper's torso?" Everybody looked at him like he had just grown another head but he just looked at the hologram of Andromeda and waited patiently.

"No."

"What?" Tyr said looking slightly amused at how the ship disobeyed a direct command.

"Harper has specifically told me to keep personal stuff like that under complete lock down." Andromeda said matter-of-factly.

"Even if it means putting the little professor in danger?" Tyr asked with a look of mock confusion on his face. The hologram threw him a glare that could cut through diamonds and next to her appeared a life size hologram of Harper bare chested. The entire crew was silent, covering their friends body were long scars running up and down his back and front, smaller deeper ones on his arms and specifically his wrists. Tyr slowly walked over to the hologram and then behind it. His face took on a thoughtful expression as he examined the thing he was looking at. "He's been taken by the Opacus pride." He said looking up from the hologram and at the captain. A look of confusion and curiosity was visible on the faces of the rest of the crew.

"And how do you know this Tyr?" Dylan asked skeptically. Tyr gestured for the other to come over to where he stood. They curiously walked over both interested and a little scared of what they might find. They then stood looking at the hologram's back...........

A/N I was gunna finish this chapter but I decided it would be more fun to mess with your head...what can I say I'm sadistic...the next chapter will be in the same point of view as this one cause I really have to work on whatever's going on with Harper...this fic might also get R rated so watch out.
