Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars Page #5

Then upon maturation,

we step to the altar

to receive Hora Dalay:

The ability to encourage

rationality

and tranquility

in others.

The capacity to influence

others toward peace

carries great

responsibility.

Do you accept this burden

for the rest of your days?

It's going to work.

With training,

Pikal and his kind,

should be able to stop the war.

- No wormholes.

- Exactly what I was thinking, John Crichton.

Can we go back to Moya now?

I'm starving.

In a microt. Go and get Stark.

- Is it just me or is he getting bigger?

- It's a geometric pregnancy.

Please tell me that means we're

gonna have a mathematician.

A soldier more likely.

But we will be having it

sooner than you think.

How sooner?

With genetic modifications

put into someone born into

a battle unit like myself,

essentially we're going

to be parents

in a matter of solar days.

Days?

- We don't have a name.

- Already picked one.

Well, what?

- Excuse me?

- Do you not like it?

Uh, boy or girl?

Either.

It works for both.

You just made a joke.

Soldiers don't have

a sense of humor, John.

You better have my dinner ready

when I get back on that ship now.

Is there nothing

they can do?

Then order retreat

from Alentro Quadrant.

Have Commander Spreddic

regroup

in defense of our nearest outposts.

Sir, how have the Scarrans

moved so quickly

through our

forward positions?

Because they have been planning this for

many cycles,

Lieutenant.

And you have a design

to turn it around?

Of course.

In due time.

Thank you for

your assistance, Aeryn.

Independent verification

of hull integrity is

invaluable to Moya and me.

- It's the least I could do.

- Lf you'll close the thermal-imaging ports,

I'll begin cycling

to numistatic distance

calibration, completing

our harpoon repairs.

Back so soon?

Why don't you tell Scorpius

that continuously asking me

will not change my opinion?

Peace is still a better option

than trying to build

a wormhole weapon.

Not spoken like

a true soldier.

Depends on your definition.

With all due respect,

Crichton is your inferior.

So why would you bear

his child?

You should leave, Sikozu.

And I mean off this ship.

I did not mean to offend.

When I first met Scorpius,

I naturally assumed

I was his superior.

I have since learned there is

a reservoir to his abilities

that continually

overshadows my own.

Same with Crichton.

You view Crichton

as your superior?

No, as my equal.

Sikozu, perhaps your under

and over estimations

of yourself are meaningless.

Perhaps you're just meant

to be together.

Interesting these Eidelons.

Yep. Tell me

about it, Bob.

Despite the fable

around them,

these Eidelons

can only affect peace

when the combatants are willing

to let them get near them.

Am I detecting a little

professional jealousy?

The Scarrans for certain

will destroy these Peacemakers

long before they can get

close enough to have any impact.

Great! Then you won't mind

them doing their thing.

Fine! But do yours

at the same time.

Me making weapons

is just a means

to your ends.

God! What is it

you really want, Scorpius?

Privacy achieved during peace will always be

challenged.

However, if ascended

during conflict,

it can last a lifetime.

You wanna say that

in English?

We've been hit.

I have a highly-developed

survival sense.

It's telling me to leave.

John, it's a Scarran warship

closing in on the planet

at maximum speed.

Stryker or Dreadnaught?

Neither. Something new

and much faster.

How much time we got?

More like how little.

D'Argo!

I'm on my way

to get you now.

Hey, where the hell

do you think you're going?

To remove as much of

our presence as possible.

The Scarrans will be hard enough on these

Eidelons as it is.

Don't worry about it.

We're taking them with us.

- Everyone has to go.

- That is impossible.

Jool, will you explain

to him what is going on?

- He knows.

- Hierarch, listen.

These are not chirpy Saturday

morning Sleestaks coming.

The decision has been made.

The big hand says

I don't have time to argue.

And the little hand says,

Pikal, it is time to go.

He is not yet prepared

to instruct others.

His education must continue.

We came here because

we need conciliators.

There is an entire planet

of his people waiting.

How the hell are we supposed to bring them up

to speed?

I will instruct them.

Fine. Fine.

Jool, you should come

as well.

I can't.

I belong here.

Go.

You always made

the best mistakes.

This is not good.

No dren!

This frelling thing is supposed

to get the baby out of me.

I don't think so.

- Not you, them!

- Who them? What?

You wanna worry about someone?

Worry about me.

The Eidelons.

What about them?

Their good give in peace.

Their good sleep in peace.

Their good die in peace!

- Why aren't we moving?

- Ask Pilot.

The Scarrans are close enough

to have targeted us.

Initiate starburst.

Moya refuses. Before she has time

to fully power up, we will be hit.

Any ideas for a diversion?

Scarran vessel.

The inhabitants of Arnessk are peaceful.

We have no weapons and pose no threat.

Do you wish to land?

- What are they doing?

- Deciding how savage they want to be.

- Okay, come on.

- You'll be safe in here.

- Pilot, we can't just sit here.

- Moya's got to take the risk. Pilot?

At this range?

It's suicide!

Scarran vessel, please respond.

Bad feeling.

Jool, can you hear us?

Get away from the temple.

Now, Jool!

The Scarrans have fired.

- Evasive!

- No time!

Son of a b*tch. Not us.

Jool!

Crew of Leviathan, you must

immediately abandon ship

and surrender to

the Scarran lmperial Forces.

Noncompliance with this command

will result

in the immediate

annihilation of your ship.

- Repeat, noncompliance with this command

- We're cursed.

Will result in the immediate

annihilation of your ship.

Everything we touch.

Prepare for

emergency starburst!

- Crew of Leviathan...

- Shouldn't I stay here?

If anyone stays behind the

Scarrans will destroy Moya. Come on!

But I'm pregnant!

Let's do it.

I cross-connected the power drive and the

fuel system so we can detonate ourselves

should we choose.

Comforting.

"D," last chance to bail.

I'm fairly certain they can't

pierce Moya's invisibility shield.

But you give us the signal,

we'll be there.

We hope.

Good fortune.

Now, get out of the way.

Well, when this idiot plan dies,

I would say

I am the first one

you rescue.

Ask Aeryn.

Rescue Yondalao first.

Isn't he supposed

to be rescuing us?

Yeah, how about that?

We stride onto the ship

and you convince the Scarrans

to smoke the peace pipe.

They are a species

unfamiliar to me.

I must first sense their fears and desires

through proximity.

You're about to get all the proximity you

can handle. Scarran vessels straight ahead.

Probe the Leviathan.

If you discover any life

other than its pilot,

annihilate the vessel.

Oh, I must've

overlooked this.

Sorry.

- You lived among the Scarrans.
