"All right, Fronkensteen, let's get it on, get your property out of my head." "It's controlling you, isn't it, John?" "I don't know what you're talkin' about." "In there... my neural clone." "It forced you to me." "Nothing forced me here." "Annual checkups are essential to good health." "You're lying, John." "I always know." "Don't worry." "Soon I'll take the pain away." "This thing in my head." "This chip." "Part of me..now." "wants it to control me." "So, I'm gonna go to Scorpy and have him take it out before it's too late." "Before I no longer want it gone." "Goodbye my friends." "Least by swapping myself for Jothee I can do some good." "You see how you misread him?" "This doesn't change anything." "What's not changed?" "The plan." "Why we brought you all here." "Hey!" "Nobody brought me I volunteered." "I... am the Holy Warrior of Turu." "Whatever." "All I'm saying to the rest of you is, that you were willing to go and save Jothee and instead we'll just go and rescue Crichton." "Excuse me." "You're forgetting one thing." "What?" "We came on this'adventure' for one reason." "You said you could pay us." "That's right." "Well that's true, but..." "Have you any currency now?" "we did have currency.." "ah, but what we thought was currency actually turned into, um, a-- a creature.." "and it ah, it-- it was alive and we-- we had to burn the ship.." "I understand that girl." "But you see my problem don't you?" "I don't do anything unless I get paid." "And since you no longer have currency.." "Moya, is now mine." "Go on, shoot her." "You're an embarrassment, Zelkin." "You're worse" " You're worse than an embarrassment." "You're an idiot." "What are you doing?" "There are thirty thousand containers in the shadow depository filled with riches that you could have, but you'd rather point a gun at a girl." "What are you trying to do, Aeryn?" "Shame me into going with you?" "No, because even if you wanted to, I wouldn't go into battle with you now" " Do you know why?" "Because you are a coward, and an idiot." "What do you think you are going to get." "if you steal Moya?" "She's a half burned Leviathan." "I mean, you two have to be the two stupidest pirates I've ever met." "We're not stupid!" "Hey!" "What's going on?" "Stay where you are and remain calm!" "Everybody." "Keep calm." "See, Zelkin?" "You don't have the numbers." "Get that gun outta my face!" "I think this whole idea rots!" "I want" "I want!" "I want!" "My side, your side!" "All of you" " I want!" "What's the matter with you, frek face?" "Matter, matter, I'll tell you "matter"." "Anti- matter- matter- matter- matter- matter!" "Scorpius killed ten thousand of my people!" "Ten thousand cast into space." "Ten thousand souls screaming in my brain!" "The chair, the chair, remember the chair!" "What chair?" "This frek is crazy!" "Are you coming?" "Do you agree-- agree?" "Will you fight like this down there?" "Of course, of course, no hands, no hands!" "Then I change my mind, Zelkin." "This one has the spirit of the hunter, and not the prey." "But I want currency if I come, and plenty of it." "You'll get it." "You'll all get it." "So, are we agreed?" "Are we going down to rescue Crichton?" "Not now, Pilot." "We're negotiating." "But, there's a ship approaching." "is it Scorpius?" "No." "It's... it's..." "Talyn." "Scorpius, tell me something." "Why are you so interested in this human?" "There's nothing impressive about the species." "Try not to move so much." "One flinch at the wrong time, and this will... paralyze you." "It's kinda hard not to flinch here, Scorpy, with Frau Blucher tickling' my prostate." "What are you doing to him?" "Why don't you just take him and leave?" "I must soften his neural receptors to see if my clone in his brain has reached the information I need." "If I have.." "then I will call my Command Carrier back from battle and be away from you." "See, Flavius Scorpius here wants to visit foreign lands, meet foreign people, and conquer them." "You overestimate me, John." "I have no desire to dominate the universe, but know this-- the wormhole technology in your brain.." "will sway the balance of power as we know it." "Imagine... the ability to move an army in an instant.." "the power.." "to make hostile planets disappear." "Crais, we are very thankful that you allowed Talyn to respond to her mother's distress call." "Eight entire tiers are burnt, and Moya's immune levels are falling to critical." "The nutrients that Talyn's supplying should start to heal Moya." "Keep a check on the electrocell levels-- they mustn't rise above six parts." "I am well aware of that." "How much longer will Talyn remain linked to Moya?" "Two arns." "And then you'll be leaving." "Well, there's little more that Talyn can do." "Is there some reason you wish us to stay?" "We are planning to attack a shadow depository on the planet below us." "And you want..." "Talyn to help?" "Scorpius is in the depository." "Tempting." "I thought that you didn't want to use Talyn for violence." "You all said that from the beginning." "Yes, but this is different." "How?" "Is this violence more acceptable because it's for you?" "No, it's because Scorpius has captured Crichton, and he's going to kill him if we don't get down there." "There's always a reason for violence, Aeryn." "Thousands of people die for the most virtuous causes." "You don't have to lecture me, Crais." "I believe I do." "You have lectured me countless times." "How long has Scorpius held Crichton?" "Four arns." "Then, I recommend you bring down a basket, without any holes.." "so that Crichton's liquid remains are not lost." "He's already dead, Aeryn." "and all the doors are cross- synchronized so, when you're.." "here, I'm..here." "And- and everything's perfectly timed because we're on a silent count." "Right?" "You pay attention!" "If one piece of this plan fails, then the entire plan fails!" "You got it?" "Look, all I understand is that I'm going down first!" "With Bekhesh." "Great!" "We're going down... while you all stay up here, out of danger." "You're the tracker." "You must locate Crichton before we risk ourselves." "What are you doing with that head?" "He's an old enemy." "I like that he doesn't talk back." "As soon as you locate Crichton, then the rest of us will follow straight down." "And then Teurac and I will destroy the generator." "How come I don't get that job?" "Because you can't produce a fireball that burns at seven thousands klances." "How will I know when to start burning the generator?" "I told you!" "We'll all be on a silent count for the entire battle!" "a silent count?" "While we're fighting?" "Yes!" "It's easy!" "It's complicated." "What do they do?" "The Zenetans will deploy The Flax." "The Flix, what the frell is The Flix?" "The Flax is a net that will trap any ship coming after you!" "A net." "Oh, I see." "They stay up here opening a net... while I'm down there risking my life!" "What's the point of a plan, if you don't get away at the end?" "Pack animal!" "Do you know what that is?" "No." "What is it?" "It's ah, it's your blood ancestor's Qualta Blade." "My father's father used it in the Siege of Repmek." "You're kidding?" "He fought with this?" "It weighs a drackik." "It's perfectly balanced." "I still use it myself." "I'm..." "I'm sorry that we haven't spoken." "Don't be sorry." "I don't know what to say either." "Who did this to you?" "Who mutilated you?" "You did." "In a way." "You've done everything that ever happened to me." "Jothee..son" "I had to send you away." "After your Uncle accused me of killing your mother, I" "I'm not angry with you." "what's going on on this ship." "You don't expect me to help you save Crichton, do you?" "I thought you would want to, I" "Listen!" "I'm interested in saving myself." "For ten cycles I've been running, trying to survive." "I realize that." "I want to know everything that has happened to you in you're life" "You don't want to know!" "Believe me." "You don't want to know." "I have done things." "Many things I am not proud of, to survive." "Now, I" " I" " I don't want to shame you, but I am not going back to that planet." "I only just got my freedom back." "I'm not going to risk losing it again." "There." "He's ready now." "Oh, don't stop now, Scorpy... .Roll" "me over and baste the other side." "Are you going to take out the implant?" "No." "I'm going in." "What the hell?" "This is Sawyer's Mill." "My Dad used to bring me fishing here when I was a kid." "This is a place inside your memory, John." "A place in your brain." "In my brain..." "Yes, we're inside your brain." "And no..." "I'm not Scorpius." "But he is." "Have you obtained the wormhole information?" "I believe I've burrowed far enough." "The information was well hidden by The Ancients." "I suspect even Crichton is unaware of the specifics." "Is he ready to have the chip removed?" "I'll call my Command Carrier." "When we reach my ship, and I remove my neural clone... your death will be painless." "Screw this." "I can't move." "God, I can't move." "I'm sorry, Aeryn, you're wasting your time if you came here to beg." "I'm not begging." "Choose your own word." "Look, Crais, we're all going to die if you don't help us." "Will... other lives be lost in this attack?" "You can have anything you want." "Anything." "Aeryn Sun... are you... offering yourself?" "Crichton... if he's alive, must mean a great deal to you." "You can take what you want and I won't stop you." "I don't want you to think I'm a coward." "I don't." "I've been.." "thinking about what you said earlier." "I was wrong to ask you to join us in battle." "It's not your fight." "No, Father." "If it's your fight, then it's mine too." "Thank you." "We need to talk... about the plan." "Not again" "Pilot, would you mind telling these.." "fools, what we talked about earlier?" "D'Argo advised me to auto- program the Maintenance Bay." "If you try to mutiny, the chamber will fill with Benim Gas, and render you unconscious." "We have no desire to die, Ka D'Argo." "But, you are a warrior." "You must admit, this plan seems..flawed" "It's more than flawed." "It's frelled." "And that is why I say we should forget about it." "Forget about it!" "You think they're just going to let us walk in down there?" "Pilot, is Moya well enough to do us one more favor?" "What kind of favor?" "A low level maneuver through atmosphere." "I... think she might be able to manage it once." "I'll ask her." "This is what I think we should do." "Moya should prove a distraction." "And we go down there, burst through the front doors and storm the place." "It's what we do best." "Are you ready to go down now and save Crichton?" "But we all heard his transmission." "What if Crichton's worse, and won't be rescued?" "Well, that's easy." "I put a bullet in Crichton's head and end it." "The Command Carrier is arriving six arns earlier than expected, sir." "Well, that's too bad." "I thought you wanted to leave as soon as possible." "I do, but ah... good news." "I'm always suspicious of good news." "Hey, Scorpy." "Why don't you cut me down, isn't torture time over?" "I don't torture people, John." "You misunderstand me." "Now that my neural clone has reached the information I need, I'll remove it.." "as soon as my Command Carrier arrives." "It's seems.." "Oh, whatsamatter?" "Got a little warm head?" "How'bout I change that rod for ya?" "I got some spares." "Natira, lock this chamber down!" "Open it for no one but me!" "I'll do it." "Human, you are surprising." "I've never seen Scorpius worry about anyone as much as you." "Don't be jealous Frau Blucher.." "he only loves me for my mind." "You know, you should come in a visit sometime." "Why would I ever want to go inside you?" "So the Scorpius in my head can tell you exactly how he's going to kill you." "Well, I can tell you." "You're about to taste blood." "Was that good for you?" "Moya?" "Anyone?" "How does this frelling thing work?" "I hear you, Blood Tracker." "Well, we're just outside the depository, and yes, you were right." "The guards aren't looking for a Vocarian or a Tavlek." "Can you smell Crichton?" "No, but..." "Why not?" "Oh well, it's just..." "The problem is, he's a lousy tracker..." "it seems smelling... is a female's job!" "Oh, frell!" "I don't want to hear excuses." "Just find Crichton!" "You're no help Bekhesh!" "Why don't you frell off!" "I would have found him by now if it wasn't for you.." "clumping around behind me!" "Fine!" "From now on, you're on your own!" "What's the matter, Teurac?" "Uh, nothing!" "Can you produce flame?" "Of course!" "I will not let you endanger the rest of us." "Stark's plan depends on your ability to produce flame." "If you cannot.." "I must warn the others." "No!" "I still have flame nutrients, but can no longer tap into them." "Unless..." "Unless what?" "If you have Taakar serum?" "But that's poison." "Pilot!" "Answer this frelling thing, will you?" "Ah..." "I'm sorry, Rorf." "I've been training all my senses on healing Moya." "I got through the waste vents." "Crichton's on the level above the main chamber." "He's..." "I told you." "I don't know this human." "Bounty Hunter." "Why are you here?" "Well I was planning to make... a deposit." "A deposit of what?" "Fur lice?" "Akkor, back away and shut up." "I'm just doing" "Back away, now." "Bounty Hunter." "This is the last time I will ask" "Get frelled!" "You know what I was doing." "I was casing the joint for Zenetan Pirates." "I didn't know you were here, and I don't know who he is." "Zenetan Pirates." "Please." "Allow me to question the animal." "Sometimes a female's touch..." "You should have answered me." "I was trying to save you." "Animal, you have lovely eyes." "I love red eyes." "Very sensual." "Very unusual." "Animal, what are you doing here?" "I told you" "Do not lie again!" "Who are you communicating to, and what is the plan to free the human?" "Plan?" "I don't know of any plan." "Animal, I love your eyes... your lying eyes." "and that's all I know!" "They plan to destroy the generator, then attack in the darkness." "Darkness is the key." "Don't take my other eye." "senses tell me that this animal is telling the truth." "Braca come with me." "If we secure the generator, their plan will fail." "We have to be fast." "Once we land on the planet, Moya's going to run a distraction." "Teurac, Zhaan, and Stark, I want you to go through the waste vents, into the depository, and destroy the generators." "Aeryn and I will meet up with Bekhesh." "Once the power is gone, we'll be able to storm through the center chamber doors, and rescue Crichton." "What about me?" "I thought I was going too?" "You're going to stay on the transport pod with Rygel." "I said I'd go, that's why I'm here!" "Look, it is not your fight!" "I've lost you once before." "I'm not going to lose you again." "Braca... while I secure the generator, get to the monitor and be my eyes and ears." "Tell me." "Is there a back way to the generator?" "Pilot." "We'll be touching down on the planet in thirty microts." "Good luck, Aeryn." "Good luck to you all." "Thank you, Pilot." "Rygel, I'm handing control over to you... now!" "Let's do it." "Starting descent now." "Chiana, tell the Zenetans to prepare for a low- level maneuver." "You got it Pilot." "Blue Eyes..." "look out at that." "That is the last sight your eyes will ever see." "You are a sick puppy." "Scorpius has to kill me and you're still gettin' your jollies." "Oh, he doesn't... he doesn't have to kill you, Blue Eyes." "What?" "He... he can get the chip out without hurting me?" "Oh yes." "First red, and now blue." "Scorpius wants your brain." "He said nothing about your eyes." "Blue eyes." "so soft.." "very rare." "What the frell is that?" "That's Moya." "You're clear to land, Rygel." "Get in there now!" "Sir?" "We have a problem." "Bekhesh, take out the camera!" "Mobilize every available soldier." "Have them standby outside the main chamber." "Oh, dear, dear, dear, what has Moya done here?" "You are so screwed, Medusa!" "I tell you what" " You get me out of here, I'll help you stay alive." "Why do you want to escape now, human?" "You just told me that I could get the chip out of my head without dying!" "When you get me out of here, I'll give you the damn chip!" "Hell, you can have the wormhole technology!" "As a bonus, you can have one of my eyes!" "Let us go, you bitch!" "The generator's this way!" "Quick!" "Teurac, that's the generator." "Burn it!" "Give me the Taakar serum." "Give it to me now!" "Are you sure?" "It's seven units." "It's a lethal dose." "Not for us." "Younger Sheyangs have survived nine!" "Give it to me!" "There is no other way." "We have to get that frelling gun!" "Good shot." "I was aiming for between his eyes." "Teurac, what's taking so long?" "You have to destroy the generator, now!" "I'm trying." "My chest... the fuel is there, but..." "I can't reach it!" "You must hurry, they'll be here soon!" "I'm here already, Zhaan." "Put the weapon down." "Put the weapon down, now!" "Why hasn't the power gone off?" "It's that frelling Sheyang." "He couldn't do it." "I knew I shouldn't have trusted him!" "Do you think there's anyone on the other side of this door?" "Are we going to do this or not?" "I don't know that we have any other choice." "None whatsoever." "Natira." "Natira, why aren't you answering me?" "Scorpius." "Don't worry about her." "Worry about me!" "Shoot him!" "No, don't!" "He's a Sheyang." "That's right." "I'll explode if you shoot me." "Goodbye, Zhaan." "This is not your fault." "I always knew it had to end like this." "They did it." "They killed the power." "You two go to night vision." "Mine's not working." "Just shoot!" "Wait." "I think I did it." "My night vision's finally working!" "For someone who couldn't see..." "You did okay." "Braca!" "Braca... can you see Crichton?" "No, the monitor's have gone dead." "Then get me some emergency power now!" "Natira, I know you're listening." "If you're betraying me, if anything happens to Crichton.." "Come on, Natira!" "You've got to make up your mind quick!" "Answer me!" "Scorpy's gonna kill you, no matter what happens here!" "You don't believe me?" "Go in my head and ask the clone how you're gonna die... ask him!" "Natira... ask him." "Where is he?" "I'm here Natira." "Tell me." "Scorpius would never harm me, would he?" "Now I know why Scorpius found you so.." "enticing." "To possess a beauty like you.." "to feel.." "all of this." "Crichton's right." "Scorpius is going to kill me." "Oh, my lovely." "How fortunate you are." "You're death will be painless." "Natira!" "Come get his fork outta my neck, forget about him!" "If I take it out, will you get me on Moya and away from Scorpius?" "Do we have a deal?" "Where is Crichton?" "You said he was here!" "This is where Rorf said he would be." "They must have moved him!" "Obviously!" "There's a way out in the lower level, we must move faster!" "What's the matter, Crichton?" "I've got Scorpius in my head, and he's not going to let me go!" "Move!" "Don't push him, bitch!" "Just, stop it!" "Don't tell me to stop it!" "She took out my eye!" "Peacekeepers!" "We're on our way to the pick up point, Rygel." "Come and get us now!" "On our way, Zhaan." "Outta my way, slug." "I'm gonna drive" "Intruders in the landing bay." "Get a squadron up there now." "Braca, Braca, signal the Zenetan Pirates." "Zelkin, deploy The Flax." "I repeat." "Deploy The Flax." "Zelkin?" "Who are you speaking to?" "Is that a comm?" "Easy, easy, girl." "Oh, I didn't know you cared." "Kurz, release The Flax." "Why the frell aren't we moving?" "It's The Flax!" "We're trapped." "You'll never get away from me, John go!" "You go away, you're not real!" "Go away, Scorpius!" "Move it!" "Scorpius!" "Don't shoot Crichton." "I need him alive." "Crichton!" "Get back!" ""There's no escape, John... no escape, John"" "Lets' go!" "We have a deal, Crichton!" "Leave him, John." "Come on!" "Leave him... and come to me." ""There's no escape, John." "There's no escape." "No escape."" "Take me to Moya!" ""There's no escape, John, there's no escape."" "Frell you, Crichton." "Die alone!" "My female!" "My female!" "D'Argo, you must go back to her." "You must tell her..." "I will!" "I will!" "They're shooting from both sides." "We're trapped." "Rygel." "Rygel!" "Why aren't you here?" "Rygel?" "Is that you, Zhaan?" "Crais?" "Has Talyn returned?" "I'm sorry about this." "But, Scorpius will kill me if I don't hold Moya for him." "We're free, Chiana!" "The Flax... is gone." "Kurz?" "Kurz?" "What's happening?" "Kurz is dead." "Talyn has destroyed your ship." "I'll take Moya then." "You're not taking anything!" "Oh, what a waste." "Talyn has just destroyed the Zenetan ship." "Have you come back to help us?" "Let's just say that I'm here." "All right." "Hang on a microt." "Zhaan, Stark." "Yes, Aeryn, we're here." "Can you remember from the blueprints what runs parallel to the internal corridors?" "I think they are reverse pressurization chambers." "Where do they lead?" "To the depository." "Perfect." "Rygel?" "Pick up Zhaan and Stark from the waste vents, and come and get us when Talyn's finished." "Finished with what?" "Don't ask." "Crais-- target off my comms and destroy the depository." "Talyn's firepower is massive, Aeryn." "How will you survive the damage?" "We'll be safe." "Just give us ninety microts, and obviously, try not to hit my signal with a direct strike." ""You want the chip gone."" "All right!" "Follow me." "Follow you where?" "Here!" ""You want the pain gone... come to me."" "Go down to the depository; hide in a container." "That should protect us from Talyn's attack." "Should?" "You got a better idea?" "Aeryn..." "I'm, ah  I'm gonna go to Scorpius." "Frell you are." "D'Argo... carry him!" "It's what Aeryn wants us to do, Pilot" " Destroy the entire building." "This way!" "It's frelling locked!" "They're in the depositing room." "Zhaan, I think we've got company." "Rygel!" "Rygel!" "Almost there Zhaan." "Move!" "Right, into the container." "I didn't plan on becoming a deposit." "Touching down now, Zhaan." "Let's go!" "Come on!" "Talyn firing in 20 microts." "Locking on now." "Talyn firing in 15 microts." "All right there in!" "Let's go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Wait for my signal." "10 microts..." "Fire." "Mine, mine, mine!" "Can I have this?" "Can this be mine?" "We can all have anything we want now, right?" "Any food, any female, anything!" "Right?" "Oh, don't be like them!" "You're like me, Chiana." "We did it!" "This is not like before." "This won't eat the ship, so cheer up." "We got Crichton back, and Aeryn, and D'Argo, and Jothee!" "And we're rich!" "Perfect." "Yes, but Moya is still extremely ill." "Pilot says that she may never fully recover." "And Rorf and Teurac lost their lives." "So?" "They knew the risks." "Don't worry about Rorf and Teurac." "On my oath, I will deliver their shares to their families." "Farewell my friends, and thank you for teaching me to kill again." "I have to thank you, Crais." "If you hadn't have returned, we all would be dead." "As much as I'd like to take credit for it, I did nothing." "Your attack saved us." "I had little control." "Talyn came to free Moya, himself." "You didn't command him?" "No, he acted alone." "As much as any of us would want, he has the instincts of a warrior and does exactly as he pleases." "How is..." "Crichton?" "I've brought my son, Jothee... to thank you." "I'm... crazy... all for the love of..." ") He's here, and um, he blames me." "He blames me for killing Scorpius." "And, so" "I've been, I've been trying to-- but, but I can't, I can't" "To, what?" "To, what, John?" "Synchro by Hyksos - editsub. free. fr (subedit)"
