Commerce Planet
Chapter 2
(I forgot to stick a disclaimer on the first chapter but most of these characters are not mine and belong to Farscape! Please don't shoot me!)
There was silence in the module as they approached the red planet. All of John's attempts to make conversation had either been answered curtly or just completely ignored. He rolled his eyes as he realised the only person he could talk to was Harvey. And believe it or not, he didn't actually want to talk to him. Even Jool was being particularly quiet for once; in fact she hadn't said anything the whole trip. Puzzled, John turned around to check she was alright. "Jool? Jool?" he stammered "Where the frell are you?" "Okay guys, where is she?"
"What are you on about now?" growled D'Argo. "Where the frell is Jool?" John repeated. "Oh for heavens sake" said an exasperated Chiana. "She's gone" yelled John. "I was wondering why she was so quiet for once" smiled Chiana "I was hoping she'd sewed her mouth together!" Aeryn pulled the module to a stop. "You'd better be serious" she directed at John. "You think I'm making it up or something" yelled John. "I wouldn't put it past you" smirked Aeryn. "Calm down, both of you" ordered D'Argo, causing both of them to direct hostile stares at each other. Chiana turned from searching the back of the module "He's right you know! She isn't here" "No need to look so happy about it" replied John, still smarting from Aeryn's remark. "Are you saying we left her behind?" murmured Chiana, clearly trying not to laugh. "Surely, Pilot would have told us" said D'Argo. The others agreed. "I'll call him and find out" snapped Aeryn, avoiding Johns stare. The others watched as Aeryn tried to
contact Pilot. All they hear was white static. "I can't get through" she started desperately. "Let me try.........." began John. "Go on then" snapped Aeryn, clearly meaning it as a challenge. John could do no better, and D'Argo was the first one to state what they were all thinking: "We'd better go back" he sighed.
As they approached Moya, Aeryn swore silently under her breath. Chiana turned and looked at her strangely. "Look at the docking point on the left" Aeryn stated "I'd recognise a peacekeeper tracking ship anywhere" There was a frenzy towards the front window as the other three desperately tried to confirm what Aeryn had just said. Aeryn pulled the prowler to a sudden stop. "What are you doing?" questioned D'Argo. She just looked at him. "You want the peacekeepers to notice us too?" she started angrily before being interrupted by John "and you're saying we're just going to leave Moya and Pilot?" "And Jool and Rygel" reminded D'Argo. Chiana giggled again and was faced with angry stares from Aeryn and D'Argo. "What?" she said but the others ignored her and argued over whether they should go any closer.
There was a crackle from the screen and Pilots face appeared stopping the argument suddenly. "Whats......." Started Aeryn and John together. "Its okay" begun Pilot "There's nobody on board the peacekeeper ship, we pulled it in after the readings showed no sign of life. However, many of the systems were still active and interfered with our radio systems for a while, which is why I couldn't contact you." "Where's Jool" said D'Argo. The crew were sure they saw Pilot grin as he answered "Yes she is here, she wishes to speak to you" Jool's angry face replaced Pilots on the screen. "I can't believe you morons left me behind and didn't notice, don't bother coming to pick me up, I'd rather stay here!" She disappeared and Pilot's face returned saying "Just go, we are running low on food and Jool would rather stay here" With a grin for the first time in ages, Aeryn started the prowler and they turned back towards the commerce planet.
