The Giving: Chapter 2
"Where the Hell is she?" Dylan asked. "She was due here over two hours ago."
"We are doing everything possible to find her Dylan," replied Rommie.
"Then start doing the impossible," He yelled.
"Dylan," Trance spoke up timidly, "yelling at Rommie is not going to help. You need to remain calm."
"I am perfectly calm Trance and just for the record yelling is helping."
"OK," she said turning to her console. " I am sorry."
"No Trance," he sighed. " I am sorry for yelling at you and Rommie. I just don't see how she just disappeared. It isn't possible that she just got lost. Something has happened. Something bad.
Dylan continued to pace the extent of command. The others kept quiet and tried their best to stay out of his way, as he seemed oblivious to anything in his path.
An hour later:
"Dylan, I have detected faint electrical surges from a small planet along Beka's flight path." Andromeda announced.
"What type of surges?" Dylan asked.
"Unknown for now but I am working on it. It is possible they are natural to the planet. It is also possible they are man-made but of a technology unknown to me." Rommie replied. "Either way they are capable of disrupting the operations of a ship the size of the Maru if it came too close to them when they were at their peak.
" Has Harper seen the readings? Dylan questioned.
"He is checking them now."
"Let me know as soon as you know what they are. In the mean time set course for that planet.
"Aye Captain," came the ship's reply.
Beka came awake slowly. At first all that she was aware of was intense pain. Slowly opening her eyes, she expected to see the ruins of her ship. Instead she found herself looking up at the darkening night sky. She was suddenly aware of the fact that she was being carried on a stretcher of some kind and that she was not alone.
