My Diary By John Crichton
Day One (premiere)
I'm saying day one because until now I only lived by Earth's dates and I'm no longer on Earth, in fact I'm not even in the same neighbourhood. I have no idea where here is, so here I go the first day.
Its the day I was testing mine and D K's theory on using a manned space craft (which we named Farscape 1) to try and overcome Atmospherical friction to increase velocity to never before recorded speeds. Just before I went for my flight I was talking to D K about last minute details, D K is my partner on the project and my best friend. Then my Dad turned up, my Dad is Jack Crichton a very famous Astronaut, D K left us to talk, we talked about rattler's and the pressure of being his son, he gave me some speech about being my own kind of Hero and gave me his good luck charm he got from Yuri Gagarin for luck. If I'd of known that the day was going to end the way it has I would have said something different to him. Anyway I was in Earth's Orbit in my module and I was doing it I was using the atmosphere to gain speed, mine and D K's theory was working.
Then there was this big flash of blue light that came out of nowhere and I couldn't hear Dad and D K on the radio any more. This strange blue light was all around me, it was very disorienting, when it finally disappeared I was in the middle of some kind of space battle with no Earth in sight. Then this ship came out of nowhere and hit me, I was heading toward a big ship that was being shot up quite a lot by other ships like the one I just had a collision with and I was pretty sure I didn't want to be this one but I didn't have a choice I was being pulled toward it.
When my module came to a full stop inside the big ship I was led by some robotic bugs to a room with aliens in it, it was like being in my own sci-fi programme. I noticed the big one first with tentacles all over his head and face, then the blue one which looked more human just blue, then the one with the tentacles spoke but it was alien to me so I told them I didn't understand them and one of the robot bugs injected me with something, I was starting to understand what they were saying to me. They wanted to know how I got here and could they use the same technology to get them away from the battle. It was so weird and frightening and amazing all at the same time, then this floating green thing that looked like a slug/toad said something like "they brought you on board didn't they I'll look after you now you look after me later", then the big guy did something and knocked me out. When I woke up I was naked in a cell and I wasn't the only one in it aswell. The slug/toad was outside muttering and banging on a panel when the others turned up. They told me the other prisoner is called a peacekeeper and is very dangerous, I told them that I was not from here and not a peacekeeper but a human from a planet called Earth, they realized this as they had done tests on me. But before anything else could be said the peacekeeper woke up, I went over to to her and said "hi my names John and you are?" and then she hit me, before I knew it I was on the floor with her on me demanding my rank and regiment, well no matter what I said she kept repeating the same thing, so it was time for a new tactic, I flipped her over and I was on top, I told her "my name is John Crichton I am an astronaut, I'm not a peacekeeper I'm human from Earth, I'm not the enemy I'm in the same cell you are now stop being so hostile," I let her up but she didn't like what I had done so she went for me again but she wasn't quick enough and I caught her with a solid right hook and she dropped like a lead balloon. The aliens were impressed and let me out and kept her in the cell. They gave me a brief tour of the ship, which is a living ship called Moya. Moya is a race of ships that are called Leviathans that have a pilot (called pilot) which is another fantastic looking creature with a big head and many arms. I also got the names of them all, tentacles is called Ka D'Argo who is a Luxan, the blue one is called Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan a Delvian and the slug/toad is Rygel XVl a Hynerian who is says he's a dominar, the peacekeeper is a sebacean, the robot bugs are D.R.D's and they help maintain the ship. The ship can do something called a starburst which from what I can understand it jumps from one place in space to another, I'm not sure what we pass through to get to the other end.
We went back to the cell to see if the peacekeeper was awake. O n our way there D'Argo and Zhaan were telling me that they were prisoners and this ship was under peacekeeper control and they broke free and set Moya free from her control collar. A control collar is something peacekeepers put on leviathans to stop them from using starburst, the peacekeepers use leviathans as transport ships for prisoners and other things. We arrived at the cell to see that the peacekeeper was awake and she didn't look to pleased to see us. She said to me that I made a mistake by hitting her and that I was not in a god place if I was caught with prisoners, at that I reminded her how disagreeable she had been when I couldn't give her a rank and regiment and that she didn't seem interested in what I was saying so she had left me no choice but to hit her. Anyway Zhaan said we all needed to eat and we were led to the dining room were D'Argo and Zhaan were trying to get peacekeeper to help them, they needed to know if the planet that they where approaching was occupied by peacekeepers as they needed supplies. It was getting a bit tense in there and that's when Rygel farted, but it wasn't just a fart, he farts helium, it was so funny listening to them. Anyway they weren't getting anywhere with the peacekeeper she wasn't giving then any info, so they put her back into the cell and me in with her, I protested and said I'm not the enemy I'm not dangerous, Zhaan said she understood but they didn't know me and had to be careful. So they left to go down to the planet and I was left with the peacekeeper I felt a little nervous being left alone with her after our last encounter. I managed to get her name Aeryn Sun, if she was on Earth she'd pass for a human (if she didn't speak,)she is quite attractive but also very hostile. I was in this cell and I'm trying to figure out how I got here, while she was trying to break out of the cell and then it hit me, the blue light I saw, when I thought about it was more like a tunnel, I had come through a worm hole and I could probably go through another one to get back home, I was hoping anyway. Officer sun (which she insisted on me being called) said that if I wanted to find another one of my wormholes I first had to get out of the cell and of the ship. She got the door open and set of to sabotage the ship, I asked her were her compassion was, she looked at me with bemused look on her face and asked what compassion was, I told her what it was and she told me she didn't like it. Well it seemed to work and we headed for the hanger I was debating on staying and I voiced this to her, to which she said that I had more chance of getting back home with her kind then with some prisoners who were on the run, I got to admit she made sense so I went with her. We got to the hanger and I headed for my module and told her it could hold two, she took one look at it and said hers was better and she was right, it looked mean and fast and it was fast and very agile, she told me it is called a prowler. When we landed on the planet I couldn't believe it, it was amazing I was on another planet. She contacted her people and told them she had been captured by the escaped prisoners and that she had managed to get away and that she had me with her, she told them where she was and that the prisoners where also on the planet and the ship was in orbit aswell. All we had to do was wait to be picked up. It wasn't that simple we saw a small craft take off and she said it was the transport pod and the prisoners where getting away and she had to follow them and report it to the command carrier that was coming, I told her to leave it and just let them go, but she insisted saying that they were prisoners and had to be caught. Before she could reach her prowler D'Argo turned up and stopped her, I told him to get out of there because the peacekeepers where coming and just as I said that they where there right behind him, which I warned him about but he didn't believe me until one of them spoke, he gave his men orders to put the luxan in cuffs, D'Argo was clearly out numbered and was taken prisoner. He then turned his attention on me and officer Sun was telling him I was human and I was from a planet called Earp (stupid woman) and I was also kept as a prisoner like she was and that we had escaped together, I was thinking so far so good then it all went pear shaped, he said I was an ally of the prisoners and I had collided with one of his prowlers and destroyed it, to which I replied that the near miss I had was an accident and I had tried to steer clear and I was sorry, he wasn't having any of it he said it was no near miss for his brother and I had murdered him and he was going to enjoy cutting me open to see how I worked and told his men to take me prisoner, just when I thought I was doomed Aeryn jumped in and said that from the little time she had been in my company she had come to the conclusion that I was telling the truth, that it had been an accident and I wasn't intelligent or brave enough to have done it on purpose, then it went pear shaped for her, he turned his attention on her and asked how much contact she had had with me and that I was an alien and they had protocols on contamination, she looked abit flustered and said not much sir, I jumped in then and said not much at all hardly any but it didn't help he said she had been irreversibly contaminated and she was taken prisoner with me and D'Argo. We where taken to a quiet place while we were waiting for transport with 3 guards, they were searching us for weapons and it occurred to me that these three weren't very smart because if any of us had weapons I'm pretty sure we would've used them. One of them took an interest in my dads good luck charm, that was me que I grabbed his weapon and keys and fired a shot which bounced of the walls a few times that made the other guards think twice about doing anything foolish, I told them to drop their weapons and to lay down on the floor. I got D'Argo to unlock my cuffs but before I unlocked his I asked him if he could get me and Aeryn of this planet and away from the peacekeepers he said he would take me but not the peacekeeper I told him if he didn't then he'd have to go find someone else to take the cuffs of him and I would like to see him try and explain why he had peacekeeper cuffs on and he soon came round to my thinking and agreed. But Aeryn was saying she wouldn't come that she was a peacekeeper I told her she was now a prisoner because she had been irreversibly contaminated, then D'Argo said that the punishment for that is death. She was still insisting that she couldn't come that it was who she was, what she she trained for (talk about being brain washed) anyway I said she could be so much more and that worked and we got out of there. When we got back to Moya the situation wasn't much better Zhaan said that a command carrier was gaining on us and its guns were targeting us she asked officer Sun what was the distance before they could fire on us, after some time (it seemed like forever) she reluctantly told us, unfortunately it wasn't far enough away for us to do the starburst, we had no time and Moya wasn't fast enough to out run a command carrier either, so I decided to quickly explain what we needed to do to get Moya to use my theory on atmospheric friction, after some disagreement with officer Sun to pilot Moya to get the angle we needed or it to work she finally did as I asked and it worked we built up enough speed and got away. A little later after we managed to starburst away to put some distance between us and the peacekeepers it was decided that it would be best to take Moya into the uncharted territories to stay away from the peacekeepers because they have no jurisdiction there. I was walking into a room and out of nowhere D'Argo appeared and insisted on showing me he is the boss and that he had been locked up on this ship for 8 cycles and if I threatened his freedom he would kill me. Thanks to officer Sun I think I understand D'Argo abit better even though she was trying to make him sound unreasonable, she said that the Luxans are a race of warriors, ill mannered, brutal and unreasonable and then she tried to defend her kind by saying her lot could've helped me, so I reminded her of what her captain (who I've found out is called Crais) wanted to do to me and her, she said that the uncharted territories wouldn't stop Crais from coming after me after all I did kill his brother and she also said I should be careful who I choose as allies. I sat down and fixed a D.R.D which had an antennae that had got damaged, then Rygel came floating up to me and was eyeing up my equipment that I had taken out of my module, for someone that claims to be royalty comes across as a scavenger, very odd, but this whole place is very odd. Well that's it for today I'm going to try and get some sleep, hopefully I will get the chance to write some more soon.
