**************************************************************************** *** Somewhere in the UT's.......
Commandant Grayza walked into command, "Do we know the status of negotiations with Crichton and the
Scarrens?" "No Commandant, however 3 messenger ships from the Scarrens have been destroyed by our
ships." replied a very nervous Braca, since everyone had viewed the destruction of the first planet
Peacekeeper command had decided to interfere with the Scarrens and prevent the return of Aeryn Sun to
John Crichton. Not everyone in Command approved of the decision, what if Crichton found out, what if Sun
died, and it was the Peacekeepers fault. Would Crichton then turn his attention towards the Peacekeepers?
Grayza brought Braca out of his thoughts, "Inform me of any new developments Captain." "Yes I will," but
but as he said that he had decided to contact Scorpious and found out just what was really going on.
**************************************************************************** *******
On Moya.............
Chiana watched Crichton sleep from his doorway, she had slipped some drugs into his drink earlier because
she knew the human needed some rest, hopefully he would not realize what had happened and not be mad
but if he was well so be it. A noise from the bed got her attention, a low moan escaped from John's lips and
a name, "Aeryn nooooo please stay with me, don't go," John started to thrash around in bed and Chiana went
to his side to wake him. "Shhh... John wake up, wake up please." His eyes flew open and the nightmare
slowly went from his mind. "Pip...... wha.... wha.... what is going on, I went into the center chamber to get a
drink and now I am here?" "Rest you needed rest you have been up 44 arns and you needed rest..."
"You drugged me!" shouted John
"What if I was needed with the Scarrens when the contact us, what if...." Chiana stopped him with a firm grip
on his arm. " I gave you a mild sedative, if we needed you we would have been able to wake you John."
"I am sorry Pip, it's just I have a lot on my mind you know." John said as he reached for his shoes to put them
on. Pilot's voice came over the coms, "John we are being contacted by a Virden trader he says he has an
important message for you." "On our way." John dashed from his room followed by Chiana.
D'Argo waited in the docking bay with Scorpious and Rygel as John and Chiana entered. They waited as the
small ship docked. A couple of Aliens came down the lowered ramp, one was an Scarren, weapons were
immediately draw and placed on the Scarren. "I mean you know harm, I am a messenger and I have a
message for John Crichten," he held out his hand and it contained a vid chip. John started to walk forward
but Scorpious stopped him. "Don't get close John he could kill you with one hit, let me go or Ka D'Argo."I
will go and get the chip." replied D'Argo as he walked forward toward the Scarren. As they waited John said
to the Scarren, "Is Aeryn still alive, and why have waited so long to contact me?" The Scarren said my name
is B'Mone and all answers are in the vid chip, I am to await your answer." D'Argo walked back to John and
gave him the vid chip. John walked over to the image machine and place the chip inside, "Greetings John
Crichton, I am General Volux of High Command first let me inform you Officer Sun is alive and she will be
returned to you as soon as possible, I am to ask you to stop destroying our bases and planets, the reason we
have not contacted you is because the Peacekeepers have destroyed all ships trying to reach you and blocked
communications channels. But before you believe all of this I will show you something, a haggard Aeryn Sun
appeared and it was the most beautiful sight John had seen in a long time. "John I am alright," she stated but
something was not right, "The Scarrens have interrogated me,but as soon as your messaged appeared they
stopped, and they are letting me recover my strength before they let me come back to you, I am not a bioloid
John, and I wish you had won the coin toss. The General then reappeared, "We need to know you answer to
stop the attacks before we can proceed, we await your reply."
"Something was wrong with Aeryn, she was not telling me something." noted John as he turned to look at
B'Mone, "What is going on," John pulled his gun and aimed it at B'Mone. "Now John, if you kill him we will
not get Aeryn back." stated Scorpious. He had remained quiet, having been contacted by Braca mere microts
before the Scarren arrived he already knew about the attacks. What fools, do they not realize that Crichton
would attack Peacekeepers as easily as Scarrens. "We need to move fast and get Aeryn back John,if the
Peacekeepers attack and kill her then all of this would have been for nothing." noted Chiana. John slowly
lowered his gun in his heart he knew something was wrong, "The baby she did not mention the baby, why?"
"I am just a messenger, what is your answer.
"The attacks will stop, but you have 2 solar days to give her back, now go." with that being said John left the
cargo bay.
**************************************************************************** ********
Command Carrier..............
Braca walked down the hall toward Commandant Grayza's office, Command had received a message that the
Scarrens had contacted Crichton and were arraigning a meeting, Command did not know however if he knew
of the Peacekeeper involvement in trying to stop the meetings. Braca did not relish giving Grayza this
message because he knew it would spell death for Aeryn Sun and her child and with those deaths possibly the
deaths of billions of fellow Peacekeepers would follow. He reached her office and knocked, "come in captain,
do you have news for me." Grayza looked up from her desk as he came in. "Yes command has informed me
that the Scarrens and Crichton have talked and a arrangement has been made to return Sun to him."
"Do we know where this meeting is to take place," "Yes a small system in the Molith sector." replied Braca.
"What are Command's orders?" asked Grayza. "We are to send 3 ships and board the Scarren transport and
capture Aeryn Sun before Crichton gets there." A slow smile appeared on Grayza lips, yes she could have her
revenge on Crichton and he would never know it though, pity.
"Prepare the ships, you and I shall accompany them to see this is done right." she said as she was getting up
from her desk." "Yes Commandant it shall be done." Braca's heart was heavy as he knew this would not end
well for anyone.
**************************************************************************** *****
Moya...........
"If the Peacekeepers are involved with trying to stop this then we should think ahead, we should intercept the
transport sooner than expected." John was trying to convince everyone in command of his plan to get Aeryn
back and stop the Peacekeepers from killing her, he had been trying to get a message to Peacekeeper
Command but all channels were being scrambled in this part of space, even Scorpious could not contact
Braca. "I fear that command may do something or maybe even Grayza may try something, they see this as an
opportunity to weaken the Scarrens." stated Scorpious. "Pilot, move us onto an intercept course hech 7
please," commanded D'Argo, he was with John all the way on this one, as they all were even Rygel, who had
been quiet these past few days nodded in agreement.
**************************************************************************** ******
On board Peacekeeper Marauder..............
"We have the transport on sensors Commandant, no other ships are around." Good very good thought
Grayza, this would be a complete surprise.
**************************************************************************** ******
Scarren transport..................
"Officer Sun we will arrive in 2 arns at the pre arranged meeting," the medical tech that was assigned to her
looked up to see if she would give a reaction, she did not surprise her, no reaction, Officer Sun just continued
to look at the embryo in the stasis tank anger and hatred boiling in her. Soon, she thought soon she and
Crichton would be reunited and he would make everything right. General Volux entered the room and told
the tech to leave them. "Officer Sun I would speak with you before we arrive." Aeryn turned around, "what
do you want General?" He could see the hatred behind those eyes. Volux was not fazed though, he
continued,"When we arrive please do not tell Crichton about the child just yet, we need calm and
patience........" "Frell you," inturreptued Aeryn, you did this to me, without the heat interrogation I could have
carried this child to full term, without the torture my child would be in me, you will all pay for this." She
continued her rant but a shout from the General stopped her, "We have already payed for this, do you know
what your mate has done?" Aeryn had known there were some kind of attacks but what there nature was she
did not know, only that they must have been brutal, because Scarrens did not give up easily. Volux
continued...."he has destroyed 5 dread naughts and 3 Planets." He waited for a reaction. She did not
dissapoint him, "Good maybe you will watch who you torture in the future," she showed no sorrow, no
remorse at what John had done." "I will not........", an explosen ripped into the transport, an alarm sounded
and a voice came over the coms "Peacekeepers commandos have boarder us," pulse rifle fire could be heard
in the background."Officer Sun lock yourself in here we can not permit them to get you," with that Volux left
her.
**************************************************************************** *****
Moya.........
"Crichton! Moya has detected the transport and it is being attacked by Peacekeepers!" Pilot's voice yelled
through the coms. "D'Argo I will meet you in the hanger" shouted John as he rushed thru the corridors of
Moya towards the hanger. Scorpious was on his way as well, when everyone got to the hanger they were
surprised to see Rygel there. "What are you doing here?" John asked. "I came to help, Chiana and Sikorzu
are in Command, the old lady is with Pilot, and I can go places unnoticed." "Fine come on then we don't have
much time to waste." they all entered D'Argo's ship and launched.
**************************************************************************** *******
"Commandant we have secured the ship and we have 3 prisoners, however we have not located Aeryn Sun."
"Search this ship and find her, when you do bring her to me." Grayza knew Sun was here with Crichton's
unborn child. "This door is locked," "Well open it up." snarled the group leader. The door whoosed open to a
room with a very pissed ex peacekeeper on the other side, Aeryn killed 4 commandos before she was
overwhelmed and knocked out, Grayza entered the room saw the stasis chamber and the embryo inside and
looked down at Aeryn. "Wake her I want her to see this, " she commanded. The guards shook Aeryn till she
regained consciousness. "Welcome back Officer Sun, now watch." Aeryn screamed as Grayza took a pulse
pistol and shot the stasis chamber, Aeryn lunged after Grayza but the guards held her tight, another blast and
the tiny spark of life that was once her child was now gone. "And now for you," with a motion to quick for
her to stop Grayza plunged a hypo into Aeryn's arm, "this is a very advanced form of the Living Death." you
will have mere microts and you will be so far into the death that you can not return." "Commandant! a ship
approaches, it is from the leviathan that is in orbit.""We leave now, where is Braca?""He was killed by the
General," Volux was shoved to the front as Grayza looked up at him."Take him to the rear of the ship when
Crichton gets here he will find Aeryn and then kill them without a second thought. Make it look like an
accident knocked them out, we leave now.
**************************************************************************** ******
D'Argo's ship docked with the transport and Crichton was the first off running down the halls searching for
Aeryn, when he came to the room with her and his child. He entered and saw the destroyed stasis chamber,
with Aeryn laying next to it. Rushing to her side, he spoke to her. Aeryn looked up and knew she must be
hallucinating because John was there then she heard his voice. She knew he was real. "Aeryn wake up my
love, Aeryn can you hear me." She tried to move, but all she could do was a low voice. "It was Grayza, she
did this, I am so sorry John I could not stop her from killing our child.........." she could barley breath,"she
also gave me the living death, John it can not be reversed, please remember your promise." John told her to
lie still, that he would save her.
D'Argo found Volux and the med tech in the rear of the ship, he revived them and went in search of John.
Scorpious found Braca, a snarl escaped his lips, thoughts went through his head, what would John do if
Aeryn was dead, would he attack the Peacekeepers. He too went in search of John.
Rygel was the first to find them, as he entered he heard Aeryn tell John about Grayza, and about what
happened to the baby. A cold fire that was very un like Rygel rose deep within him. Grayza would pay.
D'Argo arrived with Volux and the tech, John looked up and asked what happened, the General filled him in.
The tech told John there was no hope for Aeryn, that the living death had taken hold almost immediately.
"Leave us please,D'Argo would you please take the container with you." D'Argo reached down to pick up
the container that held the baby and left them alone, Rygel placed his hand on John's shoulder, and then he
too left. Scorpious looked as if he would say something but did not, he turned around and walked out.
The tech looked down at John and gave him a small hypo, "it is a kill shot" he explained. John nodded his
thanks and then was alone. He stroked her beautiful black hair and remember every time she smiled at him,
every kiss they shared, every embrace. He looked down at her shaking body and knew it was time to keep a
promise that had been made a lifetime ago. He kissed her one more time as the kill shot entered her body,
Aeryn's body tensed once and then went lax. Tears fell on her still form as he held her in his arms for a full
arn.
**************************************************************************** **
You could her Moya mourn for Aeryn, the lights were dim during the funeral everyone on board was there in
the hanger, Chiana remembering a time before when she had to say good bye to Aeryn, Rygel once again
placed his medal of power around her neck, D'Argo went to once again give his Qualta Blade to her but John
stopped him. Noranti was performing a chant, and Sikorzu was with Scorpious. Pilot watched through the
DRD's. The child was once again inside Aeryn, Noranti had performed the operation when John asked her to.
D'Argo moved to put the coffin into space but John asked if he could be alone with her for a while. Everyone
left him alone with her. 1812 and Blue were there and they remained not wanting to leave.He walked up to
the coffin and had a thought, "Pilot," yes John "I have something I want you to do please....................."
After he explained Pilot asked him why and John replied "It is something I have to do will you please promise
me?" "Yes I promise, and I won't tell the others." Thank you pilot." John went to the coffin and picked up
Aeryn, then he placed her into FARSCAPE 1, looked down at Blue and 1812 and told them to take care of
her. He then climbed into the module and proceeded to launch.
"Pilot what is happening?" shouted D'Argo. A wormhole opened up, "John what are you doing," cried
Chiana, "don't go we still need you." "It is something I have to do Pip, I love you little sister, D'Argo you are
my brother, Rygel you are like an Uncle to me, Moya and Pilot are like mother and father, you are all my
family, so please understand. Scorpious snarled, "Remember you promise Chrichton." "Up yours
Grasshopper," and with that the FARSCAPE 1 disappeared into the wormhole.
**************************************************************************** *********
Epilogue 1 30 cycles later
Dominar Rygel the 16th was holding court in his re won kingdom, when a guard came up to him and informed the Dominar that a certain package had arrived. "This is over we will talk tomorrow." Rygel floated down to the cells of his castle to one of the rooms, "here is your package Dominar," a bounty hunter whose name he did not know shoved the package towards the middle of the room. "Take off it's hood," commanded Rygel. Grayza looked around in surprise wondering where she was at and saw Rygel, "Let me go you Hynerian worm." "I think not, bitch. You see you have taken something from me which I can never get back, My Friends, John Crichton and Aeryn Sun. No you will not die, not yet but you may wish it, I will give you blood transfusions to keep you alive, guard lets begin shall we." The guard approached the bound former Commandant with a weird knife." Legends around the Castle say Grayza screams could be heard for 5 cycle's before they ended.
**************************************************************************** *********
Epilogue 2 96 Cycles after LAPT Trilogy
Empress Katralla watched her only daughter get ready for her 16th cycle celebration, she noticed on each end of the room two little DRD's the kind you would find on a leviathan always close to her, they had already saved her from two assignation attempts when she was 5 and 8 cycles old. It was a surprise that day when she had been turned back into living flesh and was told a leviathan was in orbit. Moya was contacted and Pilot informed the Empress that he had a promise to keep and left 1812 and Blue with her to protect her blue eyed daughter. There were symbols on the wall that drew Katralla's attention, "what are these?" she asked her daughter. "I do not know but I started to draw them and they just came out, I think they are pretty. To Katralla they looked very much like some form of Mathmatic or equations, ah nothing but another mystery................
**************************************************************************** **********
Epilogue 3
The module emerged from the wormhole thousands of light years from any inhabited planet, John had shut down all life support and it was starting to get cold, he had placed Aeryn between his legs in the front seat so he could hold her one more time, after looking down at her left hand, and seeing a old ring there, his mother wedding ring, he took the kill shot and placed it on his leg, a small hiss then wrapping his arms around Aeryn he waited, "I Love you beyond hope Aeryn Sun," the Kill shot hit then, a momentary spasm then they were together forever.

Rygel was the first to find them, as he entered he heard Aeryn tell John about Grayza, and about what
happened to the baby. A cold fire that was very un like Rygel rose deep within him. Grayza would pay.
D'Argo arrived with Volux and the tech, John looked up and asked what happened, the General filled him in.
The tech told John there was no hope for Aeryn, that the living death had taken hold almost immediately.
"Leave us please,D'Argo would you please take the container with you." D'Argo reached down to pick up
the container that held the baby and left them alone, Rygel placed his hand on John's shoulder, and then he
too left. Scorpious looked as if he would say something but did not, he turned around and walked out.
The tech looked down at John and gave him a small hypo, "it is a kill shot" he explained. John nodded his
thanks and then was alone. He stroked her beautiful black hair and remember every time she smiled at him,
every kiss they shared, every embrace. He looked down at her shaking body and knew it was time to keep a
promise that had been made a lifetime ago. He kissed her one more time as the kill shot entered her body,
Aeryn's body tensed once and then went lax. Tears fell on her still form as he held her in his arms for a full
arn.
**************************************************************************** **
You could her Moya mourn for Aeryn, the lights were dim during the funeral everyone on board was there in
the hanger, Chiana remembering a time before when she had to say good bye to Aeryn, Rygel once again
placed his medal of power around her neck, D'Argo went to once again give his Qualta Blade to her but John
stopped him. Noranti was performing a chant, and Sikorzu was with Scorpious. Pilot watched through the
DRD's. The child was once again inside Aeryn, Noranti had performed the operation when John asked her to.
D'Argo moved to put the coffin into space but John asked if he could be alone with her for a while. Everyone
left him alone with her. 1812 and Blue were there and they remained not wanting to leave.He walked up to
the coffin and had a thought, "Pilot," yes John "I have something I want you to do please....................."
After he explained Pilot asked him why and John replied "It is something I have to do will you please promise
me?" "Yes I promise, and I won't tell the others." Thank you pilot." John went to the coffin and picked up
Aeryn, then he placed her into FARSCAPE 1, looked down at Blue and 1812 and told them to take care of
her. He then climbed into the module and proceeded to launch.
"Pilot what is happening?" shouted D'Argo. A wormhole opened up, "John what are you doing," cried
Chiana, "don't go we still need you." "It is something I have to do Pip, I love you little sister, D'Argo you are
my brother, Rygel you are like an Uncle to me, Moya and Pilot are like mother and father, you are all my
family, so please understand. Scorpious snarled, "Remember you promise Chrichton." "Up yours
Grasshopper," and with that the FARSCAPE 1 disappeared into the wormhole.

Epilogue 1 30 cycles later
Dominar Rygel the 16th was holding court in his re won kingdom, when a guard came up to him and informed the Dominar that a certain package had arrived. "This is over we will talk tomorrow." Rygel floated down to the cells of his castle to one of the rooms, "here is your package Dominar," a bounty hunter whose name he did not know shoved the package towards the middle of the room. "Take off it's hood," commanded Rygel. Grayza looked around in surprise wondering where she was at and saw Rygel, "Let me go you Hynerian worm." "I think not, bitch. You see you have taken something from me which I can never get back, My Friends, John Crichton and Aeryn Sun. No you will not die, not yet but you may wish it, I will give you blood transfusions to keep you alive, guard lets begin shall we." The guard approached the bound former Commandant with a weird knife." Legends around the Castle say Grayza screams could be heard for 5 cycle's before they ended.

Epilogue 2 96 Cycles after LAPT Trilogy
Empress Katralla watched her only daughter get ready for her 16th cycle celebration, she noticed on each end of the room two little DRD's the kind you would find on a leviathan always close to her, they had already saved her from two assignation attempts when she was 5 and 8 cycles old. It was a surprise that day when she had been turned back into living flesh and was told a leviathan was in orbit. Moya was contacted and Pilot informed the Empress that he had a promise to keep and left 1812 and Blue with her to protect her blue eyed daughter. There were symbols on the wall that drew Katralla's attention, "what are these?" she asked her daughter. "I do not know but I started to draw them and they just came out, I think they are pretty. To Katralla they looked very much like some form of Mathmatic or equations, ah nothing but another mystery................

The module emerged from the wormhole thousands of light years from any inhabited planet, John had shut down all life support and it was starting to get cold, he had placed Aeryn between his legs in the front seat so he could hold her one more time, after looking down at her left hand, and seeing a old ring there, his mother wedding ring, he took the kill shot and placed it on his leg, a small hiss then wrapping his arms around Aeryn he waited, "I Love you beyond hope Aeryn Sun," the Kill shot hit then, a momentary spasm then they were together forever.
