For as long as she could remember they had been happy. Even her aunt, Chiana found that she could be happy, not as happy as when D'argo was alive but happy none the less. That is why she finds the silence that greets her within the corridors of Moya to be unsettling. Living for as long as she has aboard a living ship it was almost never this way. Now it seemed as if the ship was silent as if the universe realised the gravity of the situation and had bowed down to it. Most everyone was on the commerce planet they were above, everyone with the exception of Aeryn Sun-Critchon. She refused to leave his side while the rest of the crew looked for the cure to the illness that had taken hold of her husbands body. So this is what brought Heather Sun Critchon to the door of her parents cell. Before he left her brother D'argo had charged her with the task of getting their mother to leave John's side for something to eat and for some rest.
Entering the room Heather felt her heart break. Her mother was sitting on a chair with her head upon John's arm. "Mom" Heather whispered "Mom, you have to eat something please" "I can't leave him alone" "mom your going to be of no use to him if you don't eat something" "Have your brother and the others gone down to the surface to find the …. Thing who did this to your father?" Heather began to shuffle her feet and her head lowered on habit. At only fifteen cycles old lying to her mother was not something she enjoyed and tried to avoid at all costs "Mom… the thing is that D'argo and Chiana already brought him aboard Moya" For the first time in two days Aeryn Sun Critchon moved from her husbands bedside. "What the frell are you talking about?" The breath caught in Heathers throat. In all the time that she had been alive her mother had never sworn at her. Her father and her brother - maybe. Rygel, most definitely but never at her "Mom, they didn't want you to know because the stress isn't good for you or the baby" At the mention of the child growing within her Aeryn's entire face softened. "Heather someone should have told me" she said in a voice soft and devoid of the anger present only microts ago. "Mom we were doing what we thought was best, but I didn't want to lie to you." Aeryn moved from the beside and wrapped her arms around the daughter who reminds her so much of John. "She is being kept in tier three in the last cell." At this Aeryn's head shot up "What in Hezmana' name do you mean she?"
"Mom it was a woman. She must have put something in his drink. Someone saw her stir a powder into dad's drink" Aeryn moved towards the door while Heather was still speaking. "Stay here with your father" she said once she was standing t the door. Mom what are you going to do?" heathers voice trembled with fear "I'm going to go and speak to our 'guest' and see what it was that she did and why. Heathers head drooped as she watched her mother leave. "Please be okay daddy" she whispered into the silence "We need you"
