Chapter 2: The Arrest
The crew of Moya have been in 'The Free Spirit' for two arns sampling the planets raslak. However, one by one they had started to leave first is was Jool, who thought she could relax more back onboard Moya. Then Chiana, being Chiana wanted to look around some more. Rygel had left too, as he had heard there was a place where you could eat as much as you wanted. The only ones left where Crichton, who seemed to be enjoying himself quite a lot, D'argo, who could barely stand, and Aeryn who didn't appear to look that drunk.
'Crichton, I'm just going out for a microt', she gets up and is heading for the door when he calls for her. 'Aeryn!' She turns around to face him. 'Shake your booty'. She didn't quite understand what the human meant, so she just smiled at him. In return he gave her a coy smile. 'God, she is hot, I can't wait to get her back onto Moya'.
She could feel his eyes on her as she walked out of the door. She didn't think she had drunk that much until the cool breeze hit her. A sudden sense of drowsiness enveloped her, but within seconds she had regained her posture and was heading away from 'The Free Spirit'.
'No, for the love of Anebus, what are you doing, someone please help me'. The cries of help went unnoticed; no one came to the help the frightened man. 'No, please, stop'. No words of help could save this man, as a blade pierced his fragile heart. As he fell to the ground, he could hear his own heartbeat in his ears, getting slower and slower. At he lay on the floor for the last few seconds of his life, he could see his killers calmly walking away from him. As if he was nothing more than a pest that needed to be rid of. He tried again, to raise the alarm of this heinous crime, but all that came from his mouth was a gurgling sound and then blood. He tried to grasp the few seconds of his life, to cling onto it for as long as possible. Until all that was left was the lifeless body of an innocent victim, waiting to be discovered. No one would come to help him, why would they, no one knows he's there. It was only a matter of time.
'Hey, D-man, wake-up' he gives him a hearty slap on his back to wake him up. He starts to moan at being disturbed from his slumber. 'What is it'? 'I think you've had a bit too much to drink, so I'm going to take you back to Moya, ok' he reaches over to D'argo's arm to help him up, when he is shrugged away by his crew mate. 'I haven't had too much to drink', he tries to lift himself up, when all of a sudden a wave of nausea hits him, and he is sick all over the floor of the bar. Crichton turns around to see if Aeryn is coming and can see the barman looking at him, 'We're leaving'. As soon as he had said it, Aeryn came walking into The Free Spirit holding a brown package. She walks over to where the stench of puke was coming from, and from the way in which D'argo looked she knew whom it belonged to.
'Need a hand?' she reaches over and grabs D'argo's right arm, whilst Crichton is supporting him by holding his left arm. 'Someone's had a little too much to drink' he looks over to her when he notices the brown package in her other hand. 'What's that?' indicating with his eyes what he is looking at. She looks down to what he is referring to, 'oh, it's a surprise'. She gives him a playful smile he in return smiles back. 'He is so irresistible, I only have to look at him, and I'm his, I need to get back to Moya soon, so I can give him his surprise'.
By now they are outside in the cool night air breeze. Crichton is feeling a little woozy after drinking all those raslaks. D'argo is still out of it, and Aeryn is talking with Pilot. 'We're coming back to Moya, could you tell the others we're back'.
'Of course Officer Sun', then there was silence, Pilot's voice could not be heard anymore from the comm. badge, they carried on walking towards the transport pod. When they are approached by three sebaceans wearing blue garments and not the common white garments worn by the colonists.
At first his senses told him trouble, but how would they know who we are? And why would they care?
She felt a sudden sense of fear, and dread, as the three sebaceans came closer towards them. From what she could observe, they appeared to be some type of authority on the planet. The fear grew, but she could not understand why? What do we need to fear from these people?
The three sebaceans came to a stop in front of the female sebacean, the luxan and the male sebacean. They all looked at the luxan first, with a curious look on their faces, and then they glanced back at the two sebacean's who were holding the luxan up. The first sebacean in blue spoke 'Is your friend ok'.
'Yeah he's fine, he's just had too much raslak to drink, we were actually heading back to our ship' he started to move forward when they were stopped by the other two sebaceans in blue. 'I'm afraid you won't be going back to your ship, until we eliminate you from our investigation'.
She looks at Crichton with a puzzled look on her face, 'who are you, and what investigation?' The sense of fear kept growing microt after microt inside her.
'We are members of The Order of Peace, and I am Lieutenant Knox. There was a murder committed just over one arn ago'. He moved closer to Aeryn and Crichton. 'Senator Aneli, was killed by one stab to the heart, whoever did this terrible deed, knew what they were doing, the motive was murder, as he was not robbed'.
Crichton steps forward leaving Aeryn to support the entire weight of D'argo on her own. 'So what do we have to do with it? Becoming more agitated with the Lieutenant. 'Well, you are off worlders and we haven't had a crime committed in 20 cycles, not since you came anyway'. He walks back to the other officers and grabs a small portable device from them; he then walks back to the others. 'For us to eliminate you from our investigation, simply place your hand on this device'.
Crichton looks at it with a puzzled look, as he doesn't know what the device is, he was about to ask when Aeryn interrupts him. 'That's a DNA scanner', she glances at him and then at Lieutenant Knox. He nods his head in reply to her statement 'you are correct, you know your equipment'.
The fear is getting worse; I've said too much, he is already wondering how I knew what it was? He's going to find out? She tries to remain calm and unfazed by this event. But there's something about this planet that scares her, it's like no other feeling that she has ever felt so strongly before. She tries to think of the right words that don't sound like they've got some dark little secret they are hiding. Slowly she begins 'and once we have used the DNA scanner are we free to go'.
'Of course you are free to go' he starts to walk over to them, when he stops about a metra away from them; he outstretches his arm for them to use the DNA scanner. First, they do D'argo, because he isn't capable of placing his hand on the device, Crichton places it on it for him. The device starts to flash, then there is a whirring sound, and out pops an info strip, the Lieutenant pulls it out and looks at it. He then indicates for Crichton to do the same, the process is repeated again, the flashing lights and the whirring sound happen, he then indicates to Aeryn to do the same as Crichton. She does as instructed, the device starts to flash, then the same whirring sound as before, and out pops another info strip, the Lieutenant does the same as before, he pulls it out and looks at it. He then hands it to the other officers.
From the look on his face Aeryn knows something is wrong, he approaches her slowly, the other two officers move towards the back of her. With in a flash they pounce on her, rendering her unable to move, 'I'm arresting you for the murder of our beloved Senator Aneli, you will wait sentence at the house of The Order of the Peace'.
'Wait, what the frell is going on, she didn't do it', he struggles to move closer to her, because of the officers pouncing on her he was left holding D'argo. 'You can't do this'.
Lieutenant Knox turns to face him, 'She is guilty of the crime of murder, her DNA matches the blood that was found on the body, she is guilty and she will be tried', and with that the Lieutenant starts to walk away from him.
'It's ok' she turns to face him 'go tell the others what's happened, I'll be fine''. She gives him a warm smile to try to make him not worry too much about her. He tries to follow them but to no prevail; he is left standing there on his own. He struggles to keep his unconscious friend from falling into a heap on the ground. 'Aeryn, don't worry baby, we'll find a way to get you out of this mess' he shouts after her, as they disappeared down the street. He wasn't even sure if she heard him, 'I hope to god she will be ok, if any of them touch her, I'll kill them'. He hits his comm. badge to communicate with Pilot, 'Pilot, we've got a big problem, Aeryn's been arrested for murder, I'm heading back to Moya right now'.
