Last time he saw Tyr, he'd sent him to Command to let the Than know about the successful resolution of the crisis with the Bokor and get the Andromeda moving again. He definitely wasn't carting his assault rifle, which would have done nothing against the Bokor. They'd all been armed with lances.

So. That makes Harper, Dylan, and Tyr all here from different times, though there's no telling from a glance just how different Tyr's time is. It could be days. Weeks, like Harper's. It could be a lot more.

This whole situation just keeps getting weirder. And from the unease in Tyr's voice, that hasn't been lost on him.

"That, Tyr, is a very good question. Unfortunately, I don't think it's one I have an answer to."

Trance would have him believe that this is a learning experience for him, an opportunity to further his mission through an unforeseen chance.

He's had to learn to trust her when she says things like that, but he's pretty sure that's not the answer Tyr is looking for. Or the reason the omnipotent alien playing this game has brought them here.

"Apparently there are creatures playing games with time and space."
