Chapter 2- Discovery
Onboard Moya, the crew was in the kitchen area sharing stories with one another about fond memories of the past. It was Crichton's turn. His face gleamed brightly as he reminiced about the past.
"I remember before I left Earth, my niece came up to me and said, 'Uncle John, if you don't bring me back something I'll kick your ass.' She was eleven then...I miss her a lot.." Crichton said half smiling, half frowning.
"Probably just like yourself no doubt," came Rygel's rude voice as he hovered over and grabbed a piece of what looked like snot. He crammed it in his mouth and burped.
"Shut up you little drannitt." Sikozu said, baring teeth and smacking the hynerian upside his small frogish head. He let out a small growl then floated far far FAR away from Sikozu.
"Acually she is very much like me. The kid spent every waking hour with me." Crichton replied to his rude comment, quite proudly. Aeryn took notice of his proud tone.
"What was her name?" She asked with a smile.
"Kassidy. She's fifteen now." Crichton replied. D'argo, Chiana, and Sikozu just sat and litsened. They had a feeling that it was only going to be Aeryn and Crichton talking. Rygel just continued to stuff his face full of the snot looking food.
****************** Kassidy looked over to a haze of stars burning brightly i nthe distance. She smiled, remembering the times when she and her uncle would lay for hours underneath Earth's blanket and prattly on about what they thought was up there. Now they both knew.
Suddenly a small beeping sound was released throughout the ship. Kassidy looked down at the screen. It told her something should be right infront of her but when she glanced up, there ws nothing but twinkling stars.
"Stupid piece of crap." She muttered to herself, tapping on the monitor. It still made the beeping sound and still, nothing was there.
Kassidy blinked, slightly confused, trying to figure out what went wrong. Quickly, she put the ship on auto-pilot then reached into her bag and pulled out her "users manual".
Before she got a chance to even realize she did nothing wrong, a burst of blue light shown in her eyes. Looking up, she squined to try and see what exactly was happening. A black-hole of somesort was swirling buoyantly.
"Wow," she said in awe. She had read about anomolies such as these but this wasn't like anything close to what she had read. Mists of blue came together in a haze.
Kassidy was tempted to get a closer look. But what if it really was a black hole? She would never come out again. She would be nothing more than gray matter. Less than gray matter. But soon she felt herself being pulled closer and closer to the unfamilar hole.
"No! Stop, you dumb piece of metal!" Kassidy yelled out, pressing random buttons but reciving no results. Once more she screamed out "no!" before getting sucked through the blue tear in space.
Kassidy was srrounded completly by the color blue. No black, no white, just blue. Everything went by her so fast it nearly made her head spin. Out of sheer fright she passed out right in the chair. Thankfully, she left the auto-pilot on.
When she finally managed to make herself come-to she was surrounded by stars again. But sonething was off, something was wrong. Kassidy rubbed her eyes, groaned, then leaned up to look out.
Her eyes went wide like large baseballs. Three other ships were lined up not to far infront of her. All were a sleak black color with some odd symbol on each.
"Oh God." Kassidy said, clasping her hands together and looking up with her eyes closed. She knew that this was bad. Very, very, VERY bad. And she was praying for her life. "I'm sorry! I swear I'll never steal the parts to build my modules ever, ever again! LET ME LIVE TO SEE MY SIXTEENTH BIRTHDAY!" She cried out in her prayers.
*********
Officer Sun, Moya has detected two prowler vessels, a maurader, and one unidentifiable ship just an arn away. Came Pilot's voice over Moya's comm system.
"Prowlers? In Tormented Space?" Aeryn asked herself in a small whisper. She sat up from her resting spot in her room and looked around.
Alright, I'll inform John and the others immediatly. She replied, going out of her room quickly. It took her a while to find Crichton but finally, she found him in the hangar bay 'talking' with 1812.
"John," Aeryn called, walking closer to him, "Pilot told me that Moya found two prowlers, a maurader, and one undentified ship an arn away." John looked up for a moment then back down to his little red and white DRD.
"And?" He asked.
"And, that path is the path we need to take."
"Well, we could always kill 'em with your prowler."
"Right, but there are two other prowlers plus a maurader. The unidentified ship could be a Scarren Dreadnaught for all we know."
"We use your prowler and Lo'La then."
"Fine." Aeryn turned on her heel, slightly angered with John's ignorance, then walked on to inform the others.
**********
"I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die!" Kassidy cried out, watching the ships come closer to her. She stood and started kicking the control panel, screaming, "work! You freakin' piece of crap! Work damn you!"
Suddenly she felt the whole ship convulge as the alien ships fired upon her. She let out a terrified scream then tried to make her module work properly.
