S4.E7: The World Turns All Around Her

"Beneath the web-thin simulacrum,
inundating and fecund
live myth and manifold truths.
Not one point of view
can embrace them at a glance."
Council of One,
CY 2333

Captain Dylan Hunt [OC]: By the time you receive this message, the Andromeda Ascendant will be gone.

Captain Dylan Hunt: The portal of the Route of Ages will open again soon, and, when it does, we will be entering into another universe, where The Abyss awaits. And Tyr, as you know, has managed to unite many of the Nietzschean Prides. What you don't know is that he did this with The Collector's help from within the Commonwealth. And speaking of my dear Commonwealth, I know you won't help me, because I took Rhade from you. Actually, I saved Rhade because he's innocent. He did not let Tyr escape. As for Beka Valentine, she had her own reasons for going to Tyr. I, Dylan Hunt, Captain of the Andromeda Ascendant, say this is so. End of message.

Captain Dylan Hunt: Showtime.

Trance Gemini: There is something you must know about The Route of Ages.

Captain Dylan Hunt: What I need to know is how to find Beka and figure out what I'm up against.

Trance Gemini: The universe or universes on the other side are not all evil.

Captain Dylan Hunt: Well, see now, that's good to know.

Trance Gemini: I assure you, when we get to other side, I will be there for you. Dylan I was born to traverse all universes, a force from one side to the other.

Captain Dylan Hunt: I'll have you explain that to me later.

Rommie: We're under attack from Nietzschean forces.

Captain Dylan Hunt: Andromeda, damage report.

Andromeda: No hull breach as yet. Analyzing explosion residue.

Seamus Harper: Come on, boss. A hit's a hit. I don't care. They shot at us first. It's fair play. Let's blow them to smithereens.

Captain Dylan Hunt: Not until I get some answers, Mister Harper.

Lt. Cmdr. Telemachus Rhade: Tyr wants to engage. Perhaps we should comply.

Captain Dylan Hunt: Well, we'll do that, but I'll choose the time and place.

Rommie: Their missile barrage is mainly syronium based, and they're too low density to do any damage.

Seamus Harper: Low density, huh? Like Tyr's brain. Syronium's only used for concussive effects. The most we're going to get from this is a headache.

Lt. Cmdr. Telemachus Rhade: A low efficiency strategy. Curiously un-Nietzschean.

Rommie: Unless his intention is not our destruction.

Captain Dylan Hunt: Oh, he just wants to shake things up.

Lt. Cmdr. Telemachus Rhade: He'll peel off once he thinks we're rattled.

Seamus Harper: And hell, boss, let's shake, rattle, and roll.

Captain Dylan Hunt: No, that would be too easy.

Andromeda: Incoming transmission from Arun-Roy.

Captain Dylan Hunt: Besides, you don't want to miss the show. On screen.

Tyr Anasazi: I propose a trade. A Starmap with a purpose you don't understand, for a crew member you cherish.

Captain Dylan Hunt: Cherish? Beka? Yeah, send her back over here and I'll tell her how much I miss her.

Tyr Anasazi: If she meets with you, you might hold her against her will. Unless, of course, I had someone of yours at the same time.

Captain Dylan Hunt: Oh, you're way too possessive, Tyr. Let go and be free.

Captain Dylan Hunt: So, did you enjoy the show?

Seamus Harper: I've seen it before.

Captain Dylan Hunt: hmm.
