CHAPTER TWO
John frowned as thoughts spun through his head, just when he thought he and Aeryn were making progress she goes and does something like that! Crying out as he collided with something big and orange, he winced as the hard skull of a Luxan collided with his own," Aw man, D'argo!"
D'argo rubbed his head and growled," What the frell do you mean, aw man D'argo? More like aw man John! Where the dren are you heading so fast?"
John sighed, shaking his head," Sorry D, my fault."
" John you okay? You seem well as you put it wigged?"
John had to smile as his Luxan friend attempted to speak english but he shrugged it off," I'm fine D'argo, you ever hear the saying don't worry be happy, well thats me all wrapped up in four words." Backing away he gave the Luxan a slightly insane but cheesy smile.
As John headed down the tier muttering to himself, D'argo simply crossed his arms and wondered why the human was acting so Kinkoid. Looking to the side of him, he spotted Chiana heading towards him looking distinctively suspicious. Stretching out his arm so it blocked her way, he looked at her and asked,
" What is going on?"
Chiana ducked under his arm and explained," Nothing's going on D'argo, have you seen John?"
" Yeah he headed that way about a microt ago."
Chiana smiled and said," Thanks!"
With that she ran off down the tier, leaving D'argo to mutter as he walked off," Frelled! They're all completely frelled!"
IN THE TRANSPORT HANGAR ....
" Officer Sun, are you sure about this?"
" Yes pilot I am, I need answers and this is the only way. I'll be back within a couple of arns."
Pilot resigned himself to the fact that Aeryn was going to do this with or without his opinion," Hangar doors will be opened when you are ready to depart Officer Sun."
Aeryn smiled before clambering into the cockpit of her prowler, securing herself in the chair before she closed up the cock pit. Slipping on her headset, she took hold of the controls," Open the hangar doors Pilot." The doors opened up into the dark space occasionally broken by a few dying stars, Aeryn thrusted forward leaving the shelter of Moya and her friends behind.
Pilot shook his head but returned his attention to caring for Moya and all those who travelled on her.
ELSEWHERE ....
John rounded a corner and swore loudly as Scorpius was leaning against the wall," Hello John."
" Hi Scorpy, a little early for your moonlight stroll isn't it?"
Scorpius' thin face curved into a snarled smile as he replied," Perhaps it is.." Looking at John he then said," You know John, you really shouldn't let someone like Aeryn affect you so much."
John instantly glared as he snapped," Been eavesdropping have we?"
Scorpius shook his head, remarking as he left in the direction of Sikozu's chambers," No John, I have been merely paying attention and letting her affect you like this is not wise, you should be concentrating more on the wormholes!"
" Frell you!"
Storming off he marched into the transport hangar, eyes falling on a transport pod and all he could thinkw as oh thank God. Just as he was about to get in, a hand on his arm and a voice stopped him," Hey! You're not going anywhere well not without me you're not." Turning around he met the dark eyes of a very determined Chiana, sighing he said,
" I just need some time alone Chi."
Chiana shook her head before pushing her way past him into the piloting seats of the transport as she remarked," If you stop thinking with your mivonks for one microt, you would see you need someone to talk to and well you're stuck with me!"
John smiled slightly sitting beside her, joking as they left Moya," And here I thought you liked my mivonks." Chiana smirked as she replied,
" I never said I didn't."
ON MOYA .....
Sikozu sat watching as Noranti concuted something sure to either make them throw up or well she didn't even want to think about it.
" So old woman what are you doing?"
Noranti muttered something to herself before spinning round," Oh nothing nothing, just cooking up something special!"
" Special?" Sikozu raised an eyebrow, green eyes trailing to the bubbling pot a hand soon followed to her hand, as something brown bubbled over the side. Swallowing deeply she remarked," I do not think I will be eating." With that she quickly left the room, leaving Noranti looking blank as she nibbled on various oddities.
IN THE PROWLER .....
Aeryn tried to blank out the thoughts of John, but that hurt look it was hard to forget. Hearing a very familiar sound, she pulled her pulse pistol and stated in a slightly higher voice," Move another inch and what remains of your brain will decorate the back seat of my prowler."
" Okay, okay."
Putting her pulse pistol away she immediately demanded," What the frell are you doing in my prowler, Rygel?"
" Well Aeryn, I heard about your plans and I thought that talents such as mine would be required."
" Talents? Do those include eating, farting and sleeping by any chance?"
" I simply want to survey the station for your safe ty"
Aeryn scoffed," More like your own prospects"
" Well prospects, safety what's the difference? Either way you get the pleasure of my company." Smiling smugly he settled back leaving Aeryn to murmur," Aren't I the lucky one."
LANDING .....
John stepped out onto a grey sanded area of the planet Chiana had picked, glancing back as Chiana leaped down.
" So Pip what made you come on this weird and wacky adventure?"
Chiana tilted her head and replied," You need someone to talk to and ever since Zhaan died you just kinda stopped, so I thought why not? Zhaan always found something intriguing about your mind so why not?"
John smiled sitting beside the transport pod, glancing over as Chiana crouched near him," So you sure you're sure you really want to know what goes on in the human's mind?"
Chiana nodded,
" Alright but don't say I didn't warn you."
