"John, is that really you?" Captain Yang asked the man floating before her.
"Yup, its me," John Cricton said, "I'm not a robot, alien, duplicate, shapeshifter, twin, clone, quantum double, or what ever else you could think up."
"Whe-where have you been?" Captain Yang asked hesitently.
"That, Chi, is a very long story, one I will tell once IASA is on the line" John answered.
Almost immediately after John had finished talking, Lt. Johnson said, "I got DK on the line sir, and I don't think he is going to be happy, he just got into bed, he was doing research on those rocks the Crichton brought back form the Asteriod belt."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------
DK was pissed, he had just gotten into bed when he was told that the space station was calling him, some times he really hated his job, granted Head of Research and Development for the IASA was prestigous and well paid, he still need his sleep.
After he turned on his Vid-phone connection to the space station, he took a sip of coffee, then he said, "What the hell do you want, I just got finished analyzing the samples 'The Crichton' brought back from the Asteriod belt, so this had better be important, and I MEAN life or death important."
Thats when he overheard it, it sounded like John Crichton, and it said, "They named a ship after me?"
DK didn't feel like games, they were playing with him, and it wasn't the first time either, but never anything like this, John was dead, and it was cruel to do this to him, he thought. Just then a man, who was not sent up their with the rest of the team started to appear, and when DK saw his face he dropped the cup of coffee he was holding, John was looking him right in the eyes.
"Whe-whe-where, wha-wha-what happened?" DK managed to get out of his currently shocked state.
"Well, its a long story, so pay attention." John said.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------
"Officer Sun, how is Commander Crichton doing?" Pilot asked over the comm
"He seems to be doing well Pilot, I have been monitering his transmitton with Earth, he seems to be explaining where he has been for the past four cycles, but he is ommiting a lot, I don't think he trustes them completely yet, and that he doesn't want them to know everything he's been through." Aeryn replied.
"Hey, tell Crichton to not forget the food supplies, Rygel's been using that protien synthesiser thing since we got it," Chiana said.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------
"Well, thats quite a story John," Yang said, she took note that DK looked like his jaw was resting on the floor, she would have to tease him on this later.
"Well, I have to go for now, but I will return in order to negotiate a trade, and a landing place on Earth, but I won't leave without giving you some something Yin," he said as he tossed her a little bundle and told her not to open it until he left the station. Then he added, "I will be back in a few days, I need to get some technology together, and mabey next time, I'll introduce you to some aliens."
With that he put his helmet back on and stepped into the airlock and closed the inner door. John waved good bye as the atmosphere was drained from the aitrlock and the outer airlock was opened. He just floated out to the Farscape 1 and entered it. The watches as it accelerated faster than anything they had ever seen and within a matter of minutes John Crichton was gone, apperently for a couple of days. Johnson swore that he had seen another craft tailing the Farscape but he wasn't sure.
"Well, what did he give you?" DK said over the vid-phone.
"I don't know," Captain Yang said as she opened the bundle. Inside was what looked like a white T-shirt, but it was made of a material she had never felt before, it was similar to silk, but smoother and stronger, and on the front read,in big red letters:
MY FRIEND WAS TRAPPED IN THE ASS END OF THE GALAXY FOR FOUR YEARS AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS STUPID T-SHIRT.
