The sudden shout makes Dylan lurch, ducking back a little out of the way of the young man who seems to have appeared out of nowhere in front of him.

And that means that the plate of food which had suddenly gone flying mostly misses him and just gets a little bit of the sauce splashed onto the highly-polished surface of Dylan's boots.

Now, this is strange.

He's been walking along corridors on Andromeda before and wound up somewhere completely different, but that was somewhere (or somewhen) on the same ship, at least. There is something very wrong happening here.

"Which ship is this?" Dylan asks, looking up from the floor. "Because I should be on the Andromeda Ascendant."
