It was about 5:00 AM, on the International Space Station, and Captain Chi Yang from Japan was on the Midnight shift. She had been up on the station for the last month, and was relieved that her replacement was goning up on the next shuttle. While the computers ran tests and simulations, Captain Yang went over the latest images taken of deep space. She told herself that it was turning out to be another boring day in space when an alarm. She immediatly looked at the radar, something was coming in by Mars, and it was moving fast. As the other astronauts were floating in from their bed chambers, a sound came over the communications grid, the sound was:
"Hey Fellas, its me John Robert Crichton Jr., hey Guys, you better wake up those guys down at IASA headquarters, because, I'm Back"
Everyone on board was shocked, John Crichton was dead, he died four years ago in an accident in his ship, the Farscape 1. It had to be a trick, thats it someone was playing a cruel joke on her.
But still, she had to be sure, "Commander Crichton, if it is you, where have you ben for the last four years?" Captain Yang said.
"Well I can tell you all about it if you let me come on board, but first, may I ask who it is that I am talking to?" the voice said over the comm.
"I am Captain Chi Yang, from Japan," Captain Yang said proudly.
"Oh, hey Yin Yang, how ya been?" the voice said over the comm.
Captain Yang was silent for a few minutes, a little stunned, and embaressed, no one had called her that in about four and a half years, ever since John died. She was a good friend of John's and DK's back then, she had even helped set up the mission, since she was a leading expert in the field of astrometrics, she was a natural choice. John had given her that nickname, which she thought was cute at the time, but now only brought up painful memories.
"Well, how ya been, hey I just passed the moon, I should see you in a couple of minutes, so about me coming on board?" the voice continued over the comm
"Wha.. oh yeah, your cleared to come on board, I'll have someone ready a docking hatch for you," Chi Yang said.
"Negative on that Yin, just be ready for me at one of the airlocks, I don't feel like docking," the voice said over the comm.
He was coming in one of the airlocks? That didn't make any sense, but then again, John showing up four years after he died didn't make any sense either. Thats when she noticed her crew just standing around, figuratively speaking of course.
"Hey what are you doing, Johnson, get on the phone to IASA Command, and make sure DK is down there. Ivan, check external cameras, I want to know when Commander Crichton gets here. The rest of you, clean this place up, we got some one important coming in. GO. NOW." Captain Yang said. Well so much for just another boring day in space, she thought.
A few minutes later the outer airlock nearest to the command center and in floated a figure in a black helmet and a black, skin-tight leather looking space suit. After the outer airlock and the repressurization had finished the figure took off the helmet, Chi Yang gasped, it was John Crichton.
