Phoenix Trails does not own Andromeda however I do own my OC's, aka Griffin. This story is rated Teen.

Griffin's POV- A few days after the last chapter.

Ship Wide Message-

My eyes slowly opened as I woke up from my nap. Rolling into my side I noticed Mommy hadn't returned from her… what did she call it? Shi…ftd…shi…ft…shift. She hadn't yet returned from her shift on the OBS deck. I looked around the cradle that had become my home the last few days and tried to find an escape route. Not that I didn't like it here but, mommy wasn't here or Unca (Uncle) Seamus. So naturally I was bored. I squirmed under the purple blanket that covered me, finally after a lot of rolling I managed to get it off. Crawling over to one of the bars I tried slide through them. I had gotten my head past the bars, as well as my shoulders but my bottom half couldn't squeeze past them. I tugged and tugged then they shot through. Suddenly I tumbled down to the floor and laid on my back for a while, mini tears escaping my eyes as tiny shots of pain echoed from spine. I didn't cry out because I knew that would attract Mommy. I rolled over and slowly made my way to a duct. I was in there for a while before I found another still slightly open and exited.

I was in a huge room, everything was at least three times my height. It was dark and I could hear faint snoring. I gigged a little bit, whoever it was snored like Unca Seamus after he drank too much of his orange 'vitamin drink.' The carpet fibers scrubbed against my soft skin leaving tiny burns but I kept going not wanting to turn back after I had gotten this far.

Sitting up slightly, I rested against at the bottom of a chair. I played with a hem that had ripped at some point before I got here. It was really entertaining, I was engrossed, watching the string fly back at forth between my little hands was fun.

"What do we have here?"

I immediately stopped. I was so engrossed I didn't noticed the snoring stopped. Slowly turning my upper half towards the voice I looked up, trying to put on my best angel eyes. Above me was a giant. He had dark hair and darker skin than the rest of the crew. Odd. His brown eyes stared at me as if waiting for me to profess guilt. Yeah not happening. I keep my angel eyes on and tried to stare into his soul. It didn't work but it was worth a try.

"Still refusing to admit guilt. Interesting, let's try something different."

I looked at him while tilting my head, he tilted his in turn. I straightened my head, he straightened his. Finally I gave up and started giggling at him. He raised an eyebrow but didn't say a word. Finding myself bored again, I went to continue my journey when he stopped me half way.

"No you don't. Why aren't you with Andromeda?" He asked as he lifted me up into the air and into his arms. I looked at him like he was insane, he does realize I can't answer him right?

"Well?"

I huffed and he answered his question himself.

"You snuck out didn't you? She doesn't know you're not where you're supposed to be. What would happen if there was an emergency and she couldn't find you?"

I looked down in shame not caring if he knew I couldn't respond. My face was answer enough.

"That's what I thought. Now let's get you back to her."

I squealed as I was jostled around as he heavily walked down the hallway. However all the hallway I could see was the ceiling, and the person caring me was blocking most of that view as well. I squealed again as he toke a corner a little too sharply, I'm surprised mommy hasn't heard me yet. She seemed to know everything that went on. Suddenly however I was distracted because a new object fell into the area of my reach. I grabbed it instantly. I tugged on at trying to get more of it but all I accomplished was getting a low growl from the man. I tugged again. He growled again this time a little bit louder. I giggled.

He looked down at me with gentle eyes, I stared back at him in confusion. He chuckled before rubbing my head, I purred. It feels really good. Slowly my eyes drifted down and I fell asleep.

Rommie's POV

I was doing what I normally did on the bridge when I realized it was too quiet. Dylan was finally taking some time off, Harper was away on another planet doing who knows what, Trance was being her purple self and annoying Beka, who was fixing the Maru. Tyr, just like Dylan was taking some time off as well in his quarters. Everything was nice and quiet. Yeah that should have been the first warning sign.

Suddenly I get an alarm from Griffin's quarters.

Scan shows no lifeform. Lifeform designation Griffin is missing. Put ship on alert?

She missing. How? No that didn't matter, at the moment finding Griffin was the top priority. I sounded the Alarm.

Attention all crew report to the bridge. This is an emergency. I repeat all crew report to the bridge.

The door hissed as Trance, Rev Bem, and Dylan ran in. Soon followed by Beka. Someone was missing.

"Where is Tyr?" Dylan asked as he looked at the door as if waiting for him in magically come in the room at that second. He didn't.

"Okay since Tyr has decided not to grace us with his presence, what's the emergency?"

"I cannot locate Griffin. She was in her room when I did a life sign scan 15 minutes ago but I can't seem to find her anymore. Her life sign isn't on the ship."

"So she's gone missing or is dead, neither are good prospects." Trance said as she frowned at me.

"Well we all we can do is coordinate a search effort, it could be Andromeda's sensors are damaged in the area Griffin is in, so we'll search the decks together while Beka searches the Maru. Hopefully we'll find her." Dylan said as he ran a hand threw his hair. He has a habit of doing that when he is stressed or really super tired.

"Or you could just ask if anyone has her?" I was so focused on Dylan that I didn't noticed Tyr sneak up behind the group. I turned and saw Tyr standing right behind Beka. Walking up to him my face softened as I realized in his arms was my little Griffin. Wait when did she become mine?

When I went to grab her, Tyr growled lowly at me while rocking Griffin. Everyone stared at him again. First insisting on a good name then growling when I tried to take her away from him, interesting it seems Tyr has become attached.

"Look Tyr, I know you have probably become attached to her but I need to feed her."

His brown eyes flickered to look at mine before he slowly handed over the sleeping baby. I scanned her to make sure she was fine and found something weird.

"Dylan."

"Yes Andromeda."

"I figured out why I wasn't able to find her human life sign on the ship."

"Why."

"Her DNA…It's no longer human."

"What!"
