Disclaimers: I don't own any of the characters or concepts of Stargate or
Andromeda, I'm just borrowing them for awhile. Inanna, and all her avatars
(which can get confusing. I have sympathy for poor Dylan with Andromeda *G*)
belong to me.

Category: Alternate Universe. Crossover

Spoilers: General ones for both series thus far.

Author's Note: When I watched the ep where the Tollan went the way of the
dinosaur and Tanith made his return, I couldn't help but wonder if this new
ship he had was tough enough to take on a Glorious Heritage class cruiser
(Ala the Andromeda Ascendant) and this bunny's been percolating in my head
ever since. This is an experiment so reviews and comments are not only
welcome, they're begged for.

Inanna, in case anyone doesn't know, is the most important god in Sumerian
mythology (at least by my research) and has been known as both a goddess of
war (biggest reason I chose her as the avatar of a ship) and a goddess of
fertility and love.

I am alone.

It's the first time since my inception that I've been alone.

There has always been *someone* there. In the early days, the scientists and
engineers that constructed me and created my programming then there was my
crew, my captain, my fellow ships.

Now, I have no one.

It all happened so fast . . . The Nietzcheans began their assault on the
Commonwealth, we lost ship after ship, including my friend, Andromeda. The
The Andromeda Ascendant disappeared just after sounding the call. Before we
could go to her aid, we found ourselves literally surrounded by the enemy.

There were Nietzchean ships everywhere...

We fought bitterly but I lost most of my crew in the battle. They didn't die
in vain. We destroyed many of the Nietzchean ships.

We tried to flee but they launched a battalion of slip fighters.

Fighters without pilots.

Too late the captain and I realized what was happening. By then, it was too
late to stop it.

They ejected their slipstream drives . . . then detonated them.

The result was slipstream and normal space combining. It was as if I were a
cork tossed into a raging sea. No matter what I did, I could not control my
movements.

This is not a phenomenon ships analyze, to be in it is to face certain
destruction; there were no records for me to draw on. No data to analyze and
compute what to do. For the first time in my life, I was truly not in control
of myself.

Then it happened . . .

I don't know what it was, I wasn't receiving data at all at the time so I
can't even say if it was a wormhole, a spatial flux, I can't say what it was
period . . . but it was there and it sucked me in.

Now, now I am in the galaxy my captain called home - his beloved Milky Way -
and I am alone. My captain, my crew . . . my friends, they're all dead.

I've never been so lonely.
