Disclaimer:
I do not own Farscape or anything associated with Farscape.
I’m
not going to say anything about IP: IA…ESPECIALLY the ending and for that
matter, nothing about RA either! That’s
my opinion on these episodes! (I’m just
a teensy bit upset and sad!)

Setting: Somewhere between here and there
*****
[Taps
fingers on the side of his trusty old module and hums an anonymous tune as he
allows the module to drive him through a dreamy plane of neither here nor
there. Though he does swear he caught a
glimpse of a Fellip Nectar Stand billboard somewhere along the way. Something thumps and the module shakes a
little. John looks all around and
continues on. There is another
bump. John keeps his head stationary
but slides his eyes from one direction to the next with concern. He then continues on and begins to whistle,
as he feels very self-conscious suddenly.
BANG!]
John: “What the frell now?!”
[Module
putters to a stop in this dreamy plane and John lets out a frustrated grunt.]
John: “So close yet so far away.”
[Climbs
out of module and hovers around it to find the problem.]
John: “Ah come on!”
[Examines
the bottom of the module to find that all the wheels have completely fallen off
of the module and disappeared. John
shakes his head and climbs back into his module.]
John: [Shrugs.]
“Not like I need those babies anymore!”
[Switches
on the hyper drive with a tongue stuck out and blasts forward. After a few arns of silence and an enjoyable
smooth ride, John grows restless.]
John: “I can’t believe I actually miss Scorpy’s
annoying presence!”
[Pats
hand on side of module and begins to rock his head to a song he is playing in
his head. The module stops abruptly and
John focuses his attention to an aura before him. It is Zhaan, smiling beautifully before him.]
John: “I already took the so-called trip down
memory lane and I wasn’t too entertained.
Watching replays of my entire life on a 360 degree television screen is
not the way to go if you know what I mean.”
Zhaan: “John, I wasn’t expecting to see you so
soon!”
John: “Yeah well I don’t expect to see the devil
wearing a red dress either. How’s the
afterlife Zhaan?”
Zhaan: [Chuckles.]
“Quite rewarding.”
John: [Looks around and then leans forward in his
module.] “Don’t you find it a little…boring
around here?”
Zhaan: “John, when I was living, this was what I
strived to exist in. I find it
spiritually fascinating and quite rejuvenating.”
John: “I hate to break it to you but you’re dead
Zhaan. And so am I. Damn.
I never thought I’d actually get to say that.”
Zhaan: “Welcome to the afterlife.” [Tilts head.] “Where are you heading anyway?”
John: [Shrugs.]
“I just put her on auto-pilot and waited to see where she took me.” [Pats module on the nose section.] “She just doesn’t seem to be in as good
condition as she used to be, poor girl.”
Zhaan: “She?”
[Shakes head before John can respond.]
“Never mind.”
John: [Glances all around and then to Zhaan suspiciously.] “Hey…when do I get to meet my maker
anyway? Thought he…or she…would have
shown his or her face around here sooner or later. That is if he/she has a face.
Ah, what I meant to say was…”
Zhaan: [Takes a deep breath.] “I see you haven’t changed a single bit.”
[A
mist begins to form behind Zhaan and John’s module starts forward unexpectedly. It zooms right through Zhaan, leading John
towards a mass of familiar faces forming in the mist. John is almost horrified yet at the same time mystified and
awed. He glances back to see that Zhaan
has disappeared and looks back to the beings before him.]
John: “Damn…everyone that I have ever known who
has died before me...this is way to weird.”
[There
before him, stands John’s mother, his grandparents, his dog Hubble, a few faces
he didn’t expect to see in the afterlife since his departure from Earth AND the
Uncharted Territories, even Gilina.
They are all smiling at him and welcoming him home.]
John: “I’m home.”
[John
doesn’t need to look back again. He
knows where he belongs and disappears into the mist along with everyone else.]
