Chiana was enjoying the Earth food Jack had given her. The scenery wasn't too bad either. She had never seen a house configured quite like the ones here on Earth. They were so big. You could easily fit twenty people in the space that was solely owned for one man. It was actually something she could get used to.
"So where is John anyway." She asked as she took another bite of the thing he called a chocolate cookie.
"He's just taking care of some last minute loose ends. Its quite a shock for him to be back with us, so naturally there are things he needs to take care of."
"Sure." By this point she was only half listening, these cookies were so good!
Aeryn commed D'argo and brought him up to speed on the condition of his friend and sent him to get Chiana. Hopefully she would remember if something had happened to Crichton down there. They were supposed to stick together, but who knew if they had.
D'argo knocked tentatively at Chiana's door.
"Chiana, you in there?" he peeked in and saw her lying on the bed, fully clothed.
He walked quietly over to her. The fact that she was dressed in bed raised his suspicions. She had either been very tired, or possibly sick.
He reached out to shake her shoulder to wake her up, and his hand went right through.
He immediately hit his comm.
"This may be worse then we thought. We need to head back to that planet."
"What's wrong?" Jool asked over the link.
"Chiana appears to have been infected as well. We need to figure out what this is and how to reverse it." He sat heavily on the side of her bed.
"Pilot," he heard Aeryn call over his still open connection.
"Yes officer Sun, I have been monitoring the situation. Moya and I also think we should go back. We are very concerned. I have laid in a course already."
"Thank you Pilot." Aeryn said.
D'argo heard her then cut the link.
Chiana glanced around her quickly. She couldn't remember how she had gotten here. She was sure she was supposed to be somewhere else, but it could just have been her imagination.
The quaint farming village that surrounded her was filled with species from every walk of life. She vaguely remembered that she had fled here from the Peacekeepers. She was safe here. That at least was comforting. Other then that, little things were starting to look familiar.
The stream but the woods, she had been there many times. The Trillian who just walked by with her child on her head, she knew her.
Yes she was supposed to be here. This was a pleasant peaceful place to be.
She turned in circles observing her home from every angle with a large smile on her face.
John avoided yet another barrage of enemy fire. His training was really paying off now. He covered the rear of his fellow commando as she took out three more fighters. This was one of the good battles. They would have drinks after this one, and boy did he need it. He just hoped the barracks wouldn't be loud tonight; he would need his sleep for training in the morning.
He blinked as another fighter broke through, it moved so fast. With out hesitation he moved in to pursue it. It wouldn't move for very long. On his scanner he saw Nesha take up a position behind him, guarding his rear with practiced prosition. Within seconds the pursued was nothing but space dust and debris.
* Ok two chapters on each other's heels, your gunna have to give me a sec to decide what happens next.
