�Ship, what are they doing?� Tyr asked, watching the picture of Harper and Kathryn on Andromeda�s security monitor.
�They seem to be building a generator out of spare parts stowed in my cargo bays.�
�A generator? What for?�
�Apparently the generator will become the energy source for shields that they will be fitting me with later.� The image of the woman on the front monitor showed very little surprise that the two would partake in such a project. �Frankly, I don�t know why she didn�t come up with the idea earlier.�
�Perhaps her mind was preoccupied with coming here, dropping in on Dylan, being put in the brig, then being released to explore this universe,� Rev commented from the opposite side of Command.
Tyr shot Rev a slightly annoyed look but decided to turn the conversation to another track. �I still don�t trust her.�
�And nobody expects you to. We have known her mere hours; far too short a time for you to discern whether or not her intentions are sincere.�
�And yet Dylan trusts her.� Andromeda tilted her head slightly in confusion.
�Yes, well we have known since we met him that he is at heart a good-natured and trusting individual.�
�Perhaps too trusting,� Tyr muttered half under his breath.
�Perhaps,� Rev answered. �We shall see. For now, I prefer to believe that we have met one of those rare individuals who will be completely honest with us.�
�Believe what you wish, Magog. For my part, I will keep watch. If she so much as rolls her eyes...� Tyr�s voice trailed off, his unfinished threat hanging in the air.
�Then I will have my �bots put her back in the brig,� Andromeda finished.
�And do what? Let her off on the next planet so that she can gather more power and use her instantaneous transport technology to take over or kill us? I hope that what those two are building isn�t a type of bomb or some other device to get rid of us.�
�I trust Harper,� Andromeda answered, her usually composed features taking on a look of anger. �No matter what Kathryn is helping him to build, either he or I will see if it is a device that could be used to take over before it is complete.�
�For your sake, and consequently for our own, I hope that you are able to.� Tyr turned around and stalked off of Command, leaving Rev and Andromeda to watch the security monitor in silence.
