Chapter 7 (continued)

'Well looky what the cats dragged in! I knew that stupid little punk would be back.' Thought the anonymous pair of hate-filled eyes staring at the seemingly sleeping blonde mechanic. The being was about to shoot forward and awaken Harper from the deep slumber he seemed to be in when he noticed the young man's eyes moving frantically beneath his eyelids. 'Oh dear is someone having a bad dream! Well isn't that a darn shame! No wait! This isn't a bad dream Seamus.. No no! This is so very very real! This is how you will spend the rest of your life the way I had been forced to live mine!' Thought the shadow-vailed creature mockingly as it inched closer to its fitful companion.

But as it neared the Andromeda's engineer it stopped abruptly. Putting an ear to the ground Harper's new cellmate waited.

"Okay people we've got to get our heads together," Dylan said, "We now know who has him and why we just need to know where he has been taken.."

"Easier said then done," Tyr interrupted, sounding matter-of-fact. "After the Opacus pride's homeworld was destroyed their people spread in many directions. They formed small colonies all over the galaxy." The entire crew was more attentive to the information they each could provide knowing that the less they bickered the faster they could retrieve their lost friend.

"Rommie, please locate all Opacus colonies in your available database."

"Yes, Captain," Rommie said, then after a minute of searching she displayed many red dots on the table of the meeting room, "I have located 759 Opacus colonies."

"Rommie, remove all nonactive and personal housing colonies" As Beka said this the dots vanished.

"637."

"Now only keep colonies with a major slaving ground." Tyr voiced, unfortunately very few of the dots disapearred causing a small cloud of guilt to wash over the room.

"596"

"Delete any colonies that are not within are current location," Dylan commanded. All but three appeared. "Well I guess we should start..."

"Rommie, please undo that last recreation," Trance who had been sitting quietly said, after the red lights reappeared she continued, "Now could you show the colonies that were in the area we had just slipstreamed from before Harper went missing?"

"Of course Trance." Rommie said a ghost of a smile playing across her face at the purple pixies request. 'Sometimes this crew really is amazing!' She thought as all but one of the red dots vanished.

'Hold on Harper.. We're coming'
