When Moya starbursts with Zhann, Jool, Stark and Rygel aboard, John, Aeryn, Chiana and Dargo are stranded on a green planet. But when Scorpius lands there, he is looking for John and takes Chiana and Dargo prisoner while John and Aeryn hide.
“Ahhh, frell” John muttered. “Dargo? Where are you guys? Moya just went into starburst.”
“So I’ve heard. Chiana and I....”
“Dargo?”
“Frell. Scorpius-“
It was static. John’s eyes widened. Aeryn suddenly grabbed Crichton’s coat and pulled him behind a pillar.
“Aeryn, what-“ She pointed at Scorpius who was holding Dargo by the collar. Chiana looked very frieghtened but tried to get out of a PK’s grip.
“What is he doing? He’s already got the wormhole technology...” Aeryn whispered.
“One thing’s for sure, he’s not inviting Dargo to lunch. We gotta get outta here.”
Aeryn and John watched Scorpius take Chiana and Dargo into a building they had just been in. They looked at each other simultaniously and then started walking in the opposite direction.
“John, where can we possibly hide? The hotel rooms aren’t safe-“
Aeryn saw John pointing at the mountains. She gave him an incredulous look and he said “There’s a trail there that leads to an inn somewhere. I heard about it somewhere. Scorpy can’t stand nice-looking places, and we can stay there until we have a plan.
“Alright” Aeryn said with a sigh.
They walked for about half an arn and finally came to an inn. Getting a room was easy, as so many people didn’t know it existed. After Aeryn and John had put everything away, they sat down on one of the beds next to eachother.
“So........they went into that museum. Maybe this is another-“
”Naitra” Aeryn said with a chuckle. “Perfect. Well, the corridors don’t seem to be that hard to work out. We could knock out some workers and wander around.”
“Yeah......I just don’t understand why-“
Aeryn placed her hand over Crichton’s mouth. She pulled it away softly as her eyes glowed. John’s arms snaked around Aeryn’s waist and he kissed her. Before they even knew it, it was a re-run of the flax, only this time they were getting somewhere.
The next morning, Aeryn woke up, looked at John and kissed him softly. He nuzzled his face in her hair and kissed her on the neck.
After they got up and had breakfast, they decided to investigate the museum for a while, sketch things down and figure out how to get Chiana and dargo out without having problems with Scorpius.
The museum was big and cold. The walls and floors were marble and it had a nice view when you looked out the window. Aeryn and John came to some separate doors and, reluctantly, decide to split up. John didn’t want to go anlone; if Scorpius had Dargo and Chiana, obviously he wanted him. John didn’t go very far until he heard a scream. He knew she didn’t scream very much, but it was distinct: Aeryn.
John’s heart skipped a beat and he ran back into the corridor Aeryn had gone through and looked around a corner. A PK had stun Aeryn with what looked like a very painful weapon. Beside the PK was Scorpy and John lost his breath. He hid behind the corner but could see Aeryn being dragged by the PK.
John’s heart and mind were racing. “I can’t lose her again. I can’t lose her again. I’d shoot myself.”
John decided to follow but at a distance. He saw Scorpy leave in a completely different direction, and saw where they had locked up Aeryn; and maybe Dargo and Chiana.
He decided to head back until he had a good plan. He didn’t have weapons at the moment, and that was the one weakness that could get him killed.
