"( grunting )" "Here you are." "( gasping )" "You sure you should be exercising?" "Why not?" "Well, 'cause a little while ago a commando skewered you with his Swiss Peacekeeper army knife." "The muscles are completely healed." "Do you want something?" "Yeah." "Your Comm's on the blink." "We called you three times for dinner." "Not hungry." "No?" "Next time answer." "It's kind of rude not to reply." "Leave me alone!" "Yeah, sure." "As soon as you tell me what the problem is." "Hell, Aeryn, what is that?" "( groaning )" "You're ice cold." "All right, knock off the completely healed crap and talk to me." "Better yet, we'll talk to Zhaan." "Closest thing we got to a doctor." "No, don't summon the others." "Just let me get to my Prowler." "Your Prowler?" "What, you going to go for a drive?" "Last I heard, we weren't within Prowler..." "No, you are not going to die." "I didn't lie to you." "My muscles are healed." "But that knife must have pierced my paraphoral nerve." "And once that is damaged, it doesn't regenerate." "So within fifty or sixty arns, it's going to fail, and I am going to die." "There's nothing you can do about it." "There's something we can do." "The only treatment is a tissue graft from a genetically compatible donor." "Fine." "We'll find someone." "We've got, what, two, three days?" "At best." "And we're nowhere near a Sebacean colony." "( Aeryn groaning and panting )" "But we are near a Peacekeeper base." "Less than twenty arns and those commandoes were kind enough to leave the address." "You aren't just fahrbot;" "you're magra-fahrbot." "I did it before;" "I can do it again." "Yeah." "By the skin of your mivonks." "Rygel:" "Your masquerade as a Peacekeeper fooled four battle-weary commandos briefly." "Infiltrating a top-secret Gammak Base is quite another matter though, John." "D'Argo:" "When you get inside the base you'll have to find a tissue match." "And obtain a tissue sample." "Rygel:" "If he's found out we're all put at risk." "Will Moya be able to get us out of here with her pregnancy so far advanced?" "So what are we saying here?" "We do nothing?" "We let Aeryn die?" "is everybody happy with that?" "No, John." "I do not want Aeryn to die." "Zhaan:" "Nor do I." "Well you could've fooled me." "What about you, Guido?" "How do you feel about this?" "Look, what's the difference what we want?" "She is dying." "We must face reality here." "The only sensible course of action is..." "Crichton:" "I'm sorry, Sparky." "What were you saying?" "is to do everything in our power to save Aeryn's life." "Right." "Even though it's likely to get us killed." "My name is John Crichton, an astronaut.. ." "...a radiation wave hit and I got shot through a wormhole.. ." "Now I'm lost in some distant part of the universe on a ship." "A living ship full of strange alien life-forms.. ." "Help me.. ." "Listen, please." "is there anybody out there who can hear me?" "...being hunted by an insane military commander.. ." "...doing everything I can.. ." "I'm just looking for a way home." "( coughing )" "This mission is foolhardy, Crichton." "It makes no sense for you to be killed as well." "Let's just cut our losses." "Drop the martyr routine, Aeryn." "I'm not going to let you die." "Pilot:" "Crichton, we have reached the designated coordinates." "Thank you, Pilot." "Do humans have some sort of ritual for occasions like these?" "Well, there's the handshake." "Followed by "good luck."" "Good luck." "How was that?" "Perfect." "( sniffles )" "Pilot:" "The planet is an uninhabitable gas giant, but it has a large moon on the far side." "Large enough to have an atmosphere, Pilot?" "Yes." "The base must be located there." "In this orbit, the planet's huge mass will shield us from it completely." "( electronic beeping )" "Hey, got to love a man in a uniform." "Yeah?" "Well, I love a girl in gray." "Traveling outfit." "Yeah?" "You going somewhere?" "With you." "Think again."

"No. I don't think so." "At least take this." "Peacekeeper ident Chip." "Maximum security clearance." "This is Larraq's." "How'd you get this?" "Told you I was talented." "All right, fine." "I could use the help." "If you're going to help." "We'll pull the same routine we pulled on those Marauder commandos." "You're the boss man and I'm your meek little server." "Sure you don't want me to fly this thing?" "You know how?" "Yeah." "Do you?" "Oh, yeah." "You should see my lmmelmann." "Check this out." "Chiana:" "Looks like some kind of mining complex." "Maybe a refinery?" "Looks like it's been nuked." "Long time ago, big time." "Could be camouflage." "Could be dead." "Ah, it's not dead." "Eight targeting systems have just locked onto us."

"You'll what?" "Shoot me down?" "It's not a good idea to gun down a superior officer without first checking his ident Chip." "Prowler, you have a landing vector." "Crichton:" "Thank you so much." "You're not completely untalented yourself." "Thank you so much." "I'm Tollona Javio, Commander of this base." "This is Lieutenant Heskon." "And you would be?" "Larraq." "Captain." "And don't even think of asking what my assignment is." "I wouldn't dream of it, Captain." "But we do need to see your ident Chip." "( electronic warbling ) ident Chip verified, sir." "Satisfied?" "Delighted to have you with us, Captain." "Though I am wondering how you knew this base was here." "Keep wondering." "I'll need quarters for myself and for my personal server." "Your...?"

"May I offer food and drink to you and your server?" "I'd love some refreshment." "Chiana:" "Hmm, I could get real fond of this place." "The raslakis good and strong." "Heskon:" "is that how you like it?" "Mmm, strong and hot." "Makes the mouth tingle." "Help it go down smooth and slow." "I've never seen a species quite like hers." "Males outnumber females here?" "Five to one?" "What do you poor guys do for fun?" "( chuckling ) Not very much." "Well, I'd say I got here just in time." "What did you pay for her?" "You don't want to know." "Does she give good... value?" "She has her moments." "Excuse me, Captain." "Duty calls." "So... I'm..." "Chiana!" "Front!" "What the hell are you doing?" "You acting like a trollop was not part of the plan." "They bought it, didn't they?" "You're drawing a lot of attention." "The more they look at me, the less they look at you." "Do you think that before they elect you centerfold of the year, we could get on with the business of saving Aeryn?" "( breathless sigh )" "Your quarters have been assigned." "Level four, number six ierg five." "You're so helpful." "I'll need your ident Chip, sir." "Again?" "( electronic warbling ) lf you would place your hand in here thank you, Captain." "You know who we are." "Let us past." "Sir, everything beyond this point is Security Three Velka." "Genetic verification required." "Chiana:" "is this really necessary?" "Larraq gets so impatient with delays." "Captain, I must ask you to place your hand in the device." "And I must ask you, Lieutenant, who are you to give me orders?" "I can give you orders because I'm a Chief Security Officer, Captain." "Not for long, if this is how you treat your superior officers." "You will comply, Captain." "Computer:" "Analyzing." "( beeping )" "Computer:" "Genetic scan verified." "Satisfied?" "He's only doing his job." "Let's get to our quarters so I can do mine." "Crichton:" "Well, I am for that." "I'll take you there immediately." "Six ierg five. I'll find it myself." "Yes, sir." "How the hell did we get away with that?" "Did you do something to the chip?" "( Woman whispers ) Larraq." "John." "Gilina." "What are you doing here?" "is Crais here?" "No." "I've been assigned to a new development project here." "To do what?" "They haven't told us." "I assume it's something to do with developing weaponry of some kind." "New weapons?" "In Peacekeeper hands?" "Yeah, just what this galaxy needs." "It's okay." "She's a friend." "How did you know I was here?" "I saw you in the Officers' Lounge, wearing that uniform." "I knew you'd never pass a genetic scan, so I overwrote the security program." "You did all that?" "What, from here?" "Yes." "Crichton, this is a very good friend." "Not acceptable, Commander." "We must increase the efficiency of the Aurora Chair." "I'll need more techs, sir." "I'm understaffed." "Understaffed or mismanaged?" "We've also got to find a match for this tissue sample of Aeryn's, or she'll die." "Can you help us?" "Of course." "Stay here. I'll take the sample to the Medical Unit." "No, no, no. I'm not going to put you at risk." "I won't be. I can fake the work orders and the Med Techs won't ask any questions." "We're used to secrecy." "It's still too dangerous. I'll go." "John, you should stay hidden." "Suppose somebody here knew the real Larraq?" "Well, she's right." "One close call's enough." "Yo, pip." "I'm going to go back to the lounge, and let our good friend, Mr. Chief Security Officer buy me another raslak." "Come home alone." "Oh!" "I came to see how you were doing." "You came to see if I was dead so you could start going through my possessions." "Oh!" "I resent your unfounded accusation." "Furthermore, you have no possessions worth taking." "How inconsiderate." "Yes." "How terribly inconsiderate." "Rygel, you are needed on Command." "I am?" "What for?" "A quick decision may be required if the Peacekeepers arrive." "Hmm." "A quick and correct decision." "I accept this vital responsibility." "Thank you." "If a warrior cannot die in battle, she can at least die alone." "Talk about having something to remember him by." "( laughing )" "Duty cycle complete, Lieutenant?" "Oh, no, sir." "Commander Javio." "I was... leaving." "Oh, I thought I'd get at least another round out of him." "Raslak." "We can do much better than that." "Zhaan." "Aeryn is deteriorating fast." "This is no way for someone to die, even a Peacekeeper." "D'Argo, all I can do is ease her journey." "The nerve that was damaged regulates toxin removal functions." "The poisons that are building up in her body, they're killing her." "Well can you filter them out?" "I have no means to do that." "Zhaan," "Moya does, doesn't she?" "Not a bad way to live." "Not at all." "How would you like to stay?" "Whatever you're getting from Larraq, I can easily double." "I'm getting quite a bit." "'Course, I'm worth it." "I think you're selling yourself short." "Covert Op types are always flying off to some backwater planet and getting shot up." "This is much more civilised." "I am getting real tired of running from system to system with a guy who's got a real talent for getting himself into danger." "Exactly." "With me, you'd be comfortable and protected." "Shall we continue this discussion in my quarters?" "My policy's no free samples." "Let me, uh... let me consider your offer on my own." "Good news." "You find a match?" "Even better." "We don't need to find a donor." "Our medics can now synthesize paraphoral tissue." "Right." "How long will it take them to cook up a batch?" "They already have." "One dose, some bed rest, and she'll be as healthy as ever." "Thanks doesn't even begin to cover it." "You don't have to thank me." "I better get back to the ship." "If I'm late, Aeryn dies." "And I wouldn't even dream of stopping you." "We always seem to be saying goodbye." "Yeah." "You'd think we'd get better at it." "Go." "That man." "He is an impostor." "Seize him." "Get him up!"

"Actually, it wasn't my idea. lt was... it was Pilot's." "Crichton's been captured." "Can you find out where they are keeping him?" "I can't access main control."

"It was no "near-miss" for my brother." "That was Captain Bialar Crais." "The Leviathan escaped from his convoy." "Scorpius:" "As I recall, he received special dispensation from the Council to head into the Uncharted Territories and hunt it down."
