This story is untitled because Simple Plan did it, so I can too. And I suck at titles. Leave a suggestion and I'll change it.
Summary: A special anomaly sends the Andromeda and her crew back in time, but where is Harper? Harper/Tyr Friendship
Disclaimer: I am not Gene Roddenberry, so therefore I have no ownership of anything Andromeda related. I just like to play with the characters.

Far far away, in a galaxy far from Earth, a ship was making its way through space. This ship was the Andromeda Ascendant, warship from the first Commonwealth.
There isn't anything unusual about the ship itself; the crew was a different story.
The ship is under the command of Captain Dylan Hunt. There is nothing weird about him, unless you consider being over 300 years old weird. He had been caught in a black hole for 300 years and came out of it in a whole new world.
Beka Valentine used to be a salvager and had her own ship. She is now the first officer of the Andromeda, and her old crew works there too.
Rev Bem is a magog who believes in peace and the divine. That in itself is the weirdest thing I've ever heard, until you heard about Trance.
Trance is a sparkly purple girl of an unknown species; one that apparently never dies. Trance had been killed many times, yet she's still as alive as ever.
Tyr is the last Nietzschean of the Kodiak pride. He's big, bulky and the typical uber. He cared for the crew though, they had become like his own pride.
Last, but certainly not least is Seamus Harper, a scrawny little human from a wasteland affectionately known as Earth. He had survived the horrors of the planet, and had beaten the odds and found a way off of that hell hole.
It is with this human that our story starts. At the moment you can find him hacked into his favourite woman in the universe, the Andromeda herself.
"Well Andromeda, there's nothing wrong here," Harper, engineer extraordinaire, said as he unhooked himself from the ships system.
"There has to be," the ship's avatar Rommie replied. "I know there is a problem, and I've tracked it down to this deck."
"I've checked out the entire deck, there is nothing in the system that shouldn't be. Jeese
Rommie, I think you're becoming a hypochondriac."
"I am not a hypochondriac Harper," Rommie replied, outraged at the accusation. "I know it's on this deck. Check the slipstream drive again."
"Been there, done that Rom Doll. I've checked and rechecked it four times in the last 3 hours. There is nothing wrong with it. You're just paranoid."
"I have a bad feeling about this Harper. I can't explain it, I can't explain it, I just know something bad is going to happen in there. Can you please just check it one more time?"
Alright, I'll check it once more and if there's nothing there will you give it up and admit that you're just being paranoid?" Harper asked?
"Yes. And for the record, I hope you are right. I hope this feeling is nothing," Rommie whispered as the pair made their way to the slipstream drive for the fifth time that day.
