Rev Harper

Harper and Trance were having one of their usual friendly spats. "You know what?" Harper said to Trance. "I bet I could do ANYTHING you challenge me to."

"Okay," Trance replied. "I want you to join the Wayist monastery."

Harper thought for a moment, shrugged, and said, "Deal!"

With Rev Bem's help, Harper joined the Wayist monastery. He took a vow of silence and was only allowed to speak two words every 7 days.

After the first week, the monks waited for his two words: "Cold floors."

Another week passed and the monks gathered around Harper again. "Bad food."

After the third week Harper went to the leader of the monks and said, "I quit."

"Good!" the chief monk said. He contacted Trance immediately. "Come and get your friend!" he cried in exasperation.

"Why? What happened?" Trance asked, mystified.

"He has done nothing but complain since he got here!" the monk yelled.

Trance and Harper go hunting

One day, Trance and Harper decided to go hunting, so they took the Maru down to a densely wooded planet where there were few cities. Dylan and the rest of the gang flew off to save the universe on their own for a week.
After a couple of days of living in the wild, eating off the land, Harper developed some indigestion.

"Hold up, Trance!" he complained, clutching his chest. "I don't feel so good."

Suddenly, he turned completely blue, gagged, and fell over in a dead swoon.

The normally resourceful Trance looked at her friend in shock. "Oh, no!" she cried. "What's wrong with Harper? Oh, if only we were on Andromeda with all my medical supplies!"

Still, keeping some of her wits about her, Trance picked up her communicator and called for help. "Is anyone out there? I have a medical emergency!"

A burst of static came across the airwaves and finally a thin voice said, "What's the matter?"

"My friend has collapsed!" Trance replied. "I think he's dead."

"Well, don't panic," came the reply. "First, let's make sure he's dead."

Trance said, "Okay," pulled out her blaster, took aim, and shot Harper right in the head. "He's dead for sure. Now what?"

Harper's Good Deed for the day

Trance and Harper needed to stock up on medical supplies and spare engine parts, so they stopped off at a drift to buy supplies. As they were walking through the market, Harper kept whining about how everything on the drift looked like low-quality merchandise. Trance just wasn't able to concentrate so she finally got and upset and turned on him.

"Look, Harper!" Trance said angrily. "All day long you have been whining and complaining. It's not all about you. Just go buy your spare parts and meet me back at the Maru when you are finished."

Harper sighed, said, "Okay", and wandered off, looking a bit downcast.

Hours later a worried Trance was sitting in the Maru, waiting for Harper. He was way overdo and she was just about to make up her mind to go look for him when she heard a knock on the airlock door. Turning on the monitor, Trance saw Harper looking really, really worried.

"It's about time," Trance said. "Did you get the engine parts?"

Harper looked up into the screen with a very guilty expression. "Um, no."

Trance couldn't believe her ears. "No?!" she cried. "You've been gone all this time, and you didn't buy any engine parts? Harper, we have to rendezvous with the Andromeda Ascendant in a little over an hour!"

"I can explain!" Harper cried. "Just let me in, Trance! Please!"

"I don't know if I should, Harper," Trance said furiously. "All you've done today is goof off and complain about everything on this drift. Just give me one good reason why I should let you in! It's not like you've done anything to help anyone around here!"

"Well, now, that's not exactly true!" Harper said quickly, glancing over his shoulder.

"Oh, really?" Trance asked, rolling her eyes in disbelief.

"No, really!" Harper insisted. "You see, I was walking along the market, looking out for some cool engine parts, when I saw this gang of Nietzscheans attacking a poor defenseless little girl in an abandoned store. So, figuring I had the upper hand because they didn't see me first, I snuck up on them and took them by surprise."

"Really?" Trance said doubtfully.

Harper shrugged excitedly. "Really!" he inisted. "And I pointed my blaster at them and I said, 'Now, guys, this is going to hurt you more than it hurts me. So, if you don't want to get hurt, just move away from the girl.'"

"Wow, that was really brave of you, Harper," Trance said, feeling a bit impressed. "And did they move away?"

"Well, sort of."

"Sort of?"

"Yeah. They've been chasing me ever since!"
