Chapter 2

"On screen" said Dylan as he walked to his command post.

"I'm not reading any ships in the vicinity." Trance said.

Trance's gold face looked up at the captain. "There's nothing out there." She pushed her strawberry coloured hair out of her face to show the worry on her face.

The crew on the bridge just stared at Trance for a few moments.

"What do you mean 'nothing out there'?" said Dylan.

"I mean, there's no ships, no debris… nothing."

"But…"

"There is a possibility…"

Dylan looked up at Trance. "Which is?" If there was one thing Dylan knew for sure about Trance, it's that Trance has the powers to see, and even change, the future.

"I think we have arrived in another universe."

"How is that possible?" cried Becca.

A hologram of Andromeda Appeared. "It's not. But I am sure this is not where the Akira was. Senses show this is not anywhere that is charted."

Dylan sighed. "Becca, can you get us out of here?"

"I'm sorry captain, but it is very difficult for me to find a slip point." Rommi explained. "Even if we did find one, we have no way of telling where it will end up."

"Fine, we'll vote. Who would like to leave and take our chances of getting out of here, raise your hand?"

Dylan's hand went up as he spoke. No one else showed any sign of sided with Dylan. Dylan waited and glared at Rommi until she finally gave in.

"Don't you love democracy?" Dylan smiled as he gave the order to find a slip point.

"Dylan, we've tried everywhere." Becca got down from her position in the slip stream chair. "It's hopeless."

Dylan ignored Becca and continued to type thing into andromeda. "Andromeda, scan this area again. Maybe we missed something."

Once again, andromeda appeared on screen. "Scanning… negative."

"Dylan" A man appeared next to andromeda on screen. He face was covered in ash and his blond spiky hair was blown back.

"What happened, Harper?" Becca laughed at the sight of the ship's engineer.

"Hahaha, Very funny Becca." Harper rolled his eyes and looked over at Dylan. "Dylan, we need to find a sun to get some energy for andromeda. She's running low. I think something about this universe cause's her to use more energy than normal."

"Ok, Mr Harper. You heard him Becca; get us to the nearest sun." Dylan glared at her, until she had stopped smirking.

Andromeda replaced Harpers black face again and calculated the distance between them and the nearest sun. "The closest sun is 5minutes away. I have 20 minutes of remaining power." She smiled and disappeared once more.

Becca Typed in the coordinates and they were off, but not for long. Andromeda had calculated for the wrong universe. With in 3 minutes, she was dead in water. All the lights went out all over the ship. Life support and com signals were off line. Fortunately, Rommi had her own power supply and had not shut down.

"Rommi, I thought you said it would take another 20 minutes before this happens" Dylan walked up to her. He could only just see her tanned skin in the dull light from the sun through the window.

Rommi pursed her lips and looked up at her captain. "I'm sorry captain, but to fly through this universe takes more energy out of me than I had calculated."

"Are any systems on?"

There was a chorus of "no's" around the room as everyone checked for a flicker of life.

"Now what?" Becca ask no one in particular. "We're dead in space." She threw her hands in the air before she thumped her hand on the control panel where she stood.

All of a sudden, Dylan Looked up, eyes wide. "Rommi, are you able to open the bay doors?"

There was silence as Rommi checked. "Sorry captain, but all systems are down. There is no way for me to open them."

"Dam"

"What were you thinking Dylan?" Becca asked

"If we can get the maru out of the docking bay, we can pull the Andromeda towards the sun. Rommi, how much air do we have left?"

"1 hour"

"Dylan," Tyr had stayed so quiet, Dylan had forgotten he was there until now. "Didn't you say about a button on the outside of Andromeda that will open the bay doors?"

Everyone looked, first at him, then at Dylan.

"Yes, I forgot about that." Dylan stood there, thinking aloud. "If we can get someone out there…"

At that same moment, there was a knock on the door. "Ah guys? Can I come in?"

Tyr walked over to the heavy metal doors and pride them open to let a small Harper through. "What happened? I thought we had another 20 minutes before andromeda shuts down." Harper looked around at everyone smiling at him. Except Tyr, of cause. "What?"

Dylan took a step towards Harper. "Mr Harper, We've got a job for you."

"Does it involve food or girls?" he asked hopefully.

"nope"
