Part 2: Pathways
Stumbling out of John's quarters, Chiana stood in the middle of the corridor looked around in bewilderment. Her heart was racing as she started down the corridor mumbling to herself. "Got to warn them.dren.I shouldn't have suggested we go to the commerce planet."
Pilot announced, "Captain D'Argo has returned, he requests that everyone meet him in the docking bay to help unload."
No! Her heart screamed. No! She started running.
Turning the final corner she literally ran into Rygel. Screaming he flew out of his thronesled and landed on the floor with a thump as Chiana grabbed onto his sled to keep from falling. Chiana danced around trying to keep her footing. She jumped over the Dominar's prone body mumbling out, "Sorry."
She continued into the docking bay, coming to a skidding halt when she saw Aeryn exiting the pod. "Aeryn?" she said with bated breath.
Aeryn paused for a brief moment, seeing the anxious look on Chiana's face she asked. "What?"
"John! Is.is John aboard?" Chiana shuddered in fear as she moved closer to the pod to look up at the doorway hoping to see John.
"Don't you remember the boys commed us saying D'Argo would bring a Pod load of supplies and John would stay for the second pick up?" Aeryn repeat.
"I don't remember.no." Chiana chewed on the inside her lip, involuntarily talking a step back from Aeryn. "No.you've got to get him back aboard Moya."
D'Argo stood at the head of the stairs, holding a large container. "What's wrong?"
Aeryn never took her eyes from the frightened Nebari. "She believes John is in danger."
Chiana slowly started moving side to side. "He is.he is." nodding her head.
"You had a vision?" D'Argo inquired, coming face to face with Chiana.
"I don't know. It could be.I don't know," she anxiously said grabbing D'Argo by the arm. "You went back to the planet to retrieve his body. He was died.please you have to get him off the planet." She begged.
Looking over Chiana's head D'Argo shared a look with Aeryn. Hitting her comm, Aeryn called. "John? John.answer me."
"Pilot, are the comms working?" D'Argo demanded.
"Yes, Captain."
Aeryn grabbed Chiana by the shoulders spinned her around and demanded. "What did you see? Was he captured? Hurt? What happened to John?"
Shaking her head Chiana whispered. "No.no, yo.you where in shock. I don't know.I couldn't remember what happen. Aeryn, go to him please.get him back to Moya."
"Stay with Aeryanna? She's asleep in her room." Aeryn asked, starting toward her Prowler.
Sitting the container down D'Argo followed Aeryn, as he passed Chiana, he touched her reassuring on the arm. After they left, Chiana nodded her head. "Yes, I'll watch after the kids."
Hugging herself close Chiana hurried to Aeryanna's room. Stopping outside the room she looked back where the baby boy should have been.should have. Slowly entering into the empty cell she looked around in astonishment. What the frell? Where was the baby?
Aeryn's words came back to her to watch after Aeryanna. Yeah, she had heard right, but about the baby. frell! Backing out of the cell she rushed into Aeryanna's room finding the little girl asleep. Glancing about the room everything seemed in place. In her dream.vision.there were two children.
Out in the corridor, she hit her comm. "Pilot?"
"Yes, Chiana?" He answered.
"Have you heard from Aeryn. or D'Argo?" she asked anxiously. "Has John contacted you?"
"Not as of yet," he informed her. "I have been repeatedly tried to rise Commander Crichton with no result. Is Aeryanna all right?"
Staring back into the cell Chiana questioned. "Pilot, there is only one child on Moya? Right?"
Astonished, Pilot said. "Yes, but you know that." Pilot seemed to hesitate. "Chiana, are you feeling all right?"
Not really, I am just loosing my frelling mind she thought. "Yeah, Pilot, I'm just concerned for John."
"Understood." Pilot confirmed without really understanding. Could it be Chiana was having another one of her visions that only she could understand? Pilot pondered. Shaking his dome head all he could do at the moment was hope the others brought John Crichton back safely
"Pilot, have some DRD's monitor Aeryanna. I.I'm going to command."
"As you wish," Pilot said before he broke comm.
Aeryn stood at the bottom of Lo'lan's ramp. D'Argo joined her as she stood surveying the area. He mumbled, "I left him with instructions to wait here until my return."
"Well, we know how good he is listening to orders. You search over that way and I'll take this side," Aeryn ordered as she peered around the hanger.
Before D'Argo could comment, Aeryn had moved around a large stack of containers. His comm went off, and Chiana's fretful voice came over, "D'Argo, have you found John?"
"Not yet. I'll let you know," he answered briskly.
A grunt then a loud voice drew his attention. "I'll comm you back." D'Argo rushed over to where Aeryn had gone; a startled cry resonated through the hanger. He came up short as Aeryn motioned with her pulse rifle for a suspicious looking man to come out from behind an oversized crate.
"Move."
Standing full height with his legs spread in battle stance, D'Argo held his weapon at the ready. A short, stout man moved toward him, and D'Argo watched the man's eyes grew large in fear. He stopped sharply when D'Argo growled at him.
"Where did you find him?" D'Argo asked Aeryn.
"Hiding behind our containers."
"No, I wasn't," the man chirped in.
Aeryn snapped, "Then what were you doing?"
"Waiting for me," a familiar voice joined in.
Aeryn drew a deep breath in relief, but her gray eyes where still full of anger. She barked out. "What in the frell are you doing?"
"John, where have you been?" D'Argo commanded at the same instant.
Holding up his hands John backed up slightly. "Come on guys can't a man be cautious? " He pointed to the stout man. "You can let him go. He was just helping me watch our supplies. Thanks, Cavil, I will take you up on the offer some other time."
Nodding his head the man glanced at Aeryn and D'Argo before disappearing into the depth of the hanger.
"What of?" Aeryn asked as she watched the man disappeared. She wondered what an ordinary Sebacean male was doing this deep into the Uncharted.
John moved to one of the containers when Aeryn blocked his path. Her voice deepened in anger. "What was that man doing here? Why didn't you answer your comms?"
"He said he had some Leviathan parts we might be interested in. Come on guys let's get back to Moya," John said as he pushed one of the containers toward Lo'la. He stopped next to Aeryn and tried to pacify her. "I'll explain more once we're back on Moya."
"I'll make sure you remember," she retorted.
"Good. Now can we table this so we can go?" he grumbled.
Stepping aside she watched John's retreating back. She and D'Argo shared a look, without a word they grabbed a container and followed him.
**** Back on Moya
Chiana sat in command staring at the planet and thinking about the last commerce planet they had visited. When Aeryn had brought John back from that planet she had almost choked the poor man in her excitement. Never had she been so relieved in knowing that her feeling had proven to be wrong. Or so she had hoped.
Earlier on her way to command she was passed down the corridor near Aeryn and John's quarters she heard raised voices. Aeryn was clearly upset with John, and was making him explain his actions. Chuckling to herself, Chiana paused for a moment longer listening to the silence that followed. Oh, yeah John knew how to end an argument with Aeryn.
To continue.
