What has transpired so far!
During an extremely tense and unpleasant dinner, during which they constantly bicker with each other, Moya's crew discusses the prospect of leaving her because she is pregnant. Aeryn Sun says she will not abandon Moya, but Zhaan agrees with Ka D'Argo – without starburst they're all at risk. John Crichton doesn't want to leave either, and Rygel says that relationships change all the time and he wants to trade Moya for a faster vessel. As the argument continues, Pilot appears on the comm and says that he and Moya want them to stay since they are most fulfilled when serving others.
He says that they should have been included in the discussion, and to prepare for immediate starburst to prove that Moya is capable. During starburst they appear to hit something, and everyone falls from their seats. Aeryn says that they must have hit something, and the fibers on Zhaan's arm are damaged. They suddenly notice that Rygel is missing, and a white light is surrounding the ship. D'Argo goes to walk to command when he suddenly disappears in front of their eyes into red light, then when Aeryn walks forward, she disappears into blue light!
Gordon Freeman appears out of the portal as it vanishes behind them, he noticed at first he is on board a ship. Hmmm! Interesting until his surrounds show this must be the bridge of the ship and the view screen shows some sort of white light.
He heard several robotic creatures at his feet and sees them that look like yellow beetles pointing their weapons at him and then a side view screen shows an image of an alien. He was blabbing for some reason that Gordon could not make out.
"I don't understand you," said Gordon "Can you speak my language,"
The alien sighed, but then one of the robotic beetles tried to do something by sticking something into his foot, his suit is resistant towards a great deal of things considering he is wearing a Mark eight Hazmat suit. The robotic beetle kept on doing it over and over until Gordon kicked it away as the robot crashed into the wall.
"What ever your drone is doing my suit prevents it," said Gordon "Do you have any idea what had happened?"
The alien just mumbled something and someone else enters into the bridge of the, a human who draws out his laser pistol and looks surprised to see a human or it could be another Sebation. Gordon turned around to see John Crichton standing there with a weapon draw and is aiming at him.
"Put the gun down space cowboy," said Gordon "I mean you no harm,"
"Where the hell did you come from?" asked Crichton
"Would you believe I flew from Oz," said Gordon "And boy my arms are tired,"
Alien spoke as this human seems to understand the alien.
"Your human, from Earth," said Crichton
"Yes I am human" said Gordon "But from A-Earth not from your Earth."
"Wait a minute," said Crichton "You're a dimensional traveler, from another Earth."
"It's a long story," said Gordon "Any idea what happened,"
"We hit something while in starburst," said Crichton "I have to go find the others,"
Gordon watches him run off in a mad dash not knowing what to expect, he looked at the alien for a moment in which it has a confused look on its face. Then he remembered the omni-tool acts as a translator as well that can decipher most languages, so he hooks it up to one of the consoles and downloads the information into the omni-tool. Until finally he able to understand the language by way of his suits universal translator program, he also discovered something else as well.
The ship is stuck between dimensions as it shows the colors of blue, yellow and red. Whatever idiot did this, will have to eventually get unstuck as he unhooked the omni-tool from the console and glared at the alien for a moment who seemed to be looking at him in a curious way.
"I have a theory in what happened to your ship," said Gordon
"Do tell," said the alien known as Pilot "I hope you understand me,"
Of course," said Gordon "I take it when this ship went into starburst, by using pocket dimension propulsion adjacent to your dimension only. It struck an object or so it felt to be," he continued the conversation "Because your velocity was not fast enough due to lack of energy."
"Correct," said Pilot
"Along with destination," said Gordon "Now your ship is stuck between dimensions as their color representations are blue, yellow and red. I wonder what idiot decided to do this is beyond even me and if this ship isn't out of starburst space. This ship will be disintegrated into nothingness."
"Moya decided to help the crew escape their enemies, so she is the idiot. I cannot warn them until they contact me first," said Pilot "So the logical choice is to go backwards."
"Perfectly understandable," said Gordon "Negative, going backwards got you into this mess as it will only get worse and the only choice is to go forward. To do that the other Moya's including this one have to do it at the same time and with that effect you will drop out of starburst space and be back in normal space."
"Seems you have a scientific mind," said Pilot "Moya says she is impressed,"
"Warrior scientist," said Gordon "But that is a story for another time, my name is Gordon Freeman."
Meanwhile John Crichton is running around like man chicken looking for his friends in the three other Moya dimensions as one of them has vision problems that causes him to throw up, another one causes him to laugh and the last one is the sounds so intense. It felt like a mad house his time, he appears into the normal Moya.
Chiana and Zhaan tell Pilot that he's giving them false information as to the others' locations, they are not on board. Crichton enters and tells them that there are at least three other Moyas, and asks Pilot if he knows anything similar to what is happening. Pilot says that starburst is the seam between space-time dimensions; Moya rides the stream and is pushed out at a random location. She entered starburst without adequate thrust, so they appear to be stuck in starburst, with whatever is on the other side.
"Mr. Freeman," said Pilot can explain
"Who?" asked Crichton
"He means me space cowboy," said Gordon
"Is he another human," said Chiana "He's cute,"
"How did he get here," said Zhaan
It's a long story," said Gordon as he went on to explain the situation.
"Oh that makes sense," said Crichton "Pilot how do, I do that."
Pilot explains it and then Crichton rushes off to give instructions to the others, afterwards The four Moyas converge, and she exits starburst with everyone on top of Pilot's controls except for Gordon who is on the bridge. The others burst into laughter, but Pilot fails to see the source of their amusement.
Soon, the crew is once again eating around the dinner table, along with Gordon Freeman except they are now enjoying each other's company, telling stories and joking. D'Argo asks if it is him or is this best food they've ever had. Aeryn says she could live on anything here for a cycle. The jokes continue until Pilot interrupts and asks how they can be so jovial after such a near miss.
Aeryn says it affected him profoundly, and asks how he and Moya are handling it. He says well enough to alleviate their concerns about starburst problems. There has also been a change in the baby's status: Moya feels the day she gives birth is near. Crichton says that this is one of the good days, and they toast to a healthy and happy baby. Then they look at Gordon who is eating whatever is eating.
"Ok I guess you want to know," said Gordon "Where I am from,"
Gordon gives them a long story as they are all silent until he is finally finished. So they swapped stories about themselves as well and told him about the peacekeepers, along with other aliens and Crichton told him about his Earth as there are some certain similarities. The one-free-man knew he was leaving soon and of course Chiana was making passes at him, in which he came to understand that she is one of those horny alien teenagers.
He had a long conversations with Zhaan, D'Argo, and Aeryn while Rygel is being annoying in a way he wanted to buy Gordon's suit. But the one free man turned him down and now it is time for him to go, he already made a log and opened a portal by way of his suit. Then he along with the portal vanish into thin air
