Casually Commander John Crichton walked down the tiers of Moya.
He knew that his shipmates were still watching his every move closely.
So he also knew that he couldn't carry out his plan, without getting caught in the act.
And that wasn't an option.
He would need all the time he could get.
So therefore, there was no alternative.
He needed a diversion.

"What áre you two doing?"
D´Argo walked in on Chiana and Jothee who made a startled reaction to his sudden presence.
"We were just...just talking..."Chiana slowly answered to her lover.
Jothee looked upon his father.
Did he suspect something?
"I was showing him your quarters."Chiana quickly added.
"Yeah,..yeah,...I was telling Jothee about his courageous father!"
"What kind of thing did you tell him?"D´Argo kindly asked.
He smiled.
"Nothing embarrassing I hope."
Chiana looked at her lover, and was surprised he really didn´t have a clue.
Lovingly he joined her side, laying his hands on her fragile shoulders.
"She told me about your imprisonment on Moya." Jothee spoke.
He tried to cover their act entirely, but he didn´t have to anymore.
D´Argo didn´t know, because he didn´t want to see it.
Chiana kissed him.
A feeling in her stomach was telling her that this was wrong.
She was betraying D´Argo in the most terrible way.
Sleeping with his son...
She kissed D´Argo, but did not look him in the eye.
"Crais and Talyn have just contacted Pilot. They found someone who can help Moya heal.
A Diagnosian."
"And what about Crichton?" Chiana suddenly said.
D´Argo grabbed Chiana even tighter and sighed gently.
"He´s also gonna take a look at Crichton."
Chiana didn´t speak for a second.
Jothee sat down on the bed and looked at his father, and his lover.
Could he tell him?
Would he understand?
This is the first time he´s ever fallen in love with someone, whilst not in slavery or in captivity.
Someone who wants the same thing, loves the same thing.
And they want to do it together.
And they have all the time and freedom in the galaxy to do it.
Could D´Argo understand?
No, he wouldn´t.
He would be furious. He would try to kill him. He would be blinded by his love for Chiana, this small, grey fugitive Nebari girl.
The first person that D´Argo really got to love ever since Jothee´s mother, Lo´Laan, died.
Jothee understood.
Their relationship should remain a secret.
For now.
"You really believed I wouldn´t help Crichton?"D´Argo said surprised.
"No,...it´s just..."
"Of course I would´ve helped Crichton. He put his own life at risk to save my son!"
"Yeah, but...this morning you seemed to want to kill Crichton..."
"Chiana,..."D´Argo said to Chiana and tried to calm her down, "Crichton is my friend. Maybe he is acting crazy lately, but he´s still my friend. You know what Scorpius did to him.
And you know I can get pretty angry sometimes, but hey..."
He touched her shoulder again.
"Everybody says some crazy stuff when they´re angry, but they never mean it. Most of the time anyway."
He smiled again.
It killed Chiana that he was being so friendly.
Perhaps if he beat her, or betrayed her, then it would have been so much easier to confess everything to D´Argo. To hurt D´Argo.
But now every lie piles up on all of the other lies, and one day everything is going to blow up into their faces.

Suddenly Pilot´s voice creaked through the comms.
"I have received another message from Crais and Talyn."he spoke.
"On my way, Pilot." D´Argo said, kissed his princess and left the room.
"Wait!"
Jothee and Chiana followed him to Command.
There Zhaan, Rygel and Stark also stood.
"The Diagnosian has accepted our proposal and has send us the following co-ordinates."
The crew watched how Pilot displayed a hologram of a planet called 'Valadoc'.
"Never heard of it." Rygel said.
The planet seemed to be barren, with few colonies on either side and covered with lakes.
"The Unchartered Territories have a way of always being unknown or undiscovered, Rygel." Zhaan said to the Hynerian Dominar.
"But that doesn´t mean this Diagnosian is telling the truth. It could be a trap."
"It can´t." D´Argo said. "This Diagnosian has the best reputation of them all. His name is mentioned on several planets."
"Scorpius...Scorpius...Scorpius..."Stark said over and over.
"Shut up you raving lunatic!" Rygel snapped at the Banik slave. "I still say it´s a trap!"

"Don´t I get to say anything?"Jothee said and the crew was surprised to hear him speak about this subject.
"Crichton put his life at risk to save mine. And now he´s going insane because of his generous choice.
Should he be punished for his heroic act? Or should he be praised?
I think he deserves help. Right now. Don´t leave him to suffer like this."

"Where ís Crichton?" Chiana suddenly said.
It took a second for the crew to understand what she was saying.
"Aeryn is gone to look for him." Zhaan replied. "Why d´you ask?"
I want to know, that if we choose to nót go to this Diagnosian, how long Crichton can be able to stay sane, or survive for that matter, until we find anóther Diagnosian that does seem the right one."
"I agree." D´Argo said. "This could be our only chance to get help for Moya and Crichton.
I say we do it."
"So do I." Stark said. Suddenly he seemed perfectly sane.
"And I also agree."Zhaan said.
"Alright." Rygel said. "But I still have a bad feeling about this."

"What do you think, Pilot?"Zhaan asked him. "How´s Moya doing?"
"She´s doing fine, thank you Pa´u Zotah Zhaan, but she´s still in a lot of pain."
Zhaan closed her eyes briefly as she was reminded of her necessary, but brutal act to save Moya from death.
Pain instead of death, Zhaan wondered, is that a good trade?
"I have already established a course to Valadoc. We shall arrive their within 4 arns."
"Will Talyn meet us there?" Zhaan asked.
"I,... and Moya,...hope so." Pilot said and his holographic face disappeared.

"Where were you?"
Aeryn walked towards Crichton and grabbed him by the arm.
"I was hungry," Crichton replied and pulled his arm away.
"Why are you asking?"
"I have been looking for you for an entire arn!"
"What´s then that damn important?"
"Yóu are!"
Aeryn almost seemed desperate to get through to Crichton, but he seemed even more jumpy and vacant as usual.
"We have found a Diagnosian that can help you." she said.
It seemed like she was expecting some kind of reaction from Crichton.
"Is that it?" he suddenly and angrily replied.
"Is that the reason why you were looking for me this entire time?
The only thing what I need to know, is what time we arrive there and what time I finally get to take this frelling thing out of my brain!"
He walked off.
Aeryn looked at the love of her life and sadly looked away.
"I was only trying to help."
John stopped. He turned around slowly.
For a second, he seemed to smile, but when Aeryn blinked again he seemed sad...
"I´m sorry."he said. "I´m just, very, véry confused right now. The Scorpy in my head is driving me insane.
Keeps telling me to turn myself in, that I should surrender myself to Scorpius.
I´m trying so hard nót to go insane, and it´s just..."
Aeryn put his hands on his cheeks.
John looked at her.
Tears came out of his tired, and crazed, sparkling blue eyes.
"I can´t take it anymore."
They lovingly embraced eachother.
John´s sad and crying face turned into a victorious smile as he smelled Aeryn´s hair.
For a microt, Scorpius got out of charachter, but swiftly returned to his former role, as Commander John Crichton.
"It won´t be long now." Aeryn said.
"In 3 arns we´ll be with the Diagnosian and he´ll get that frelling chip out of your head."
"You´re right."John said.
"You´re absolutely right.
It won´t be long now."

Crais had indeed sent out a message to Moya, telling her that he found a Diagnosian.
But Harvey had intercepted the message before Pilot could read it and changed the co-ordinates.
Instead of Valadoc, the medical facility, Moya is heading towards a Peacekeeper controlled planet called Yo´brakh, where Scorpius´s Command Carrier will be waiting for them.
