Stay Gray or Go?

Chiana

But right now it is time for a chat between Inquirer and the girls in gray!

. . .

Yeah, right. Oh, that is SO very easy to say! I'll tell you something, though. What we have to say is NOT going to be easy, though.

It is . . . not what I am planning on doing (or trying to decide on what to do). Stay or go?

No, I am not going to leave Sigin or the others of the Doctor's group. Are you nuts? Nor are my sisters, Aeryn Pip and Chi pulling up tent stakes as you humans say and leaving Terra Prime. It's home now, for . . .

We . . .owe . . .them for all they did for us!

Also, I made a LOT of effort helping them so far so they can adjust to Terra Prime ways. Modes of speech, customs, slang and all that dren (or "shit" as you humans would say). Helping them be able to blend in enough to not look too alien (standing apart to look like . . .er . . . "geeks" would be a good term I guess). Let them stand apart enough to be alluring . . . not alarming!

They put a lot of effort and time listening and taking notes so . . .they're running for it.

That and besides . . . .I don't run out on family. Same for them, you know. They . . . are kind of . . . well, they're me in a way. Wouldn't have run on Nerri (our brother by birth back on Nebari Prime) and won't with my . . .our new family.

. . .

Frell, that is weird that they became like that so . . . quickly to us!

The only problem is part of the family has gone off to help another Doctor (Dr. Four or somebody like that . . . a now elf analog and the next "incarnation" of "my" Doctor). That and from what I hear and have seen . . . this next version of the . . er. . . would have been the next version of "my" Doctor . . . .

. . .

Betty and Ragan could use all the help they can get, being Companions to THAT one! Frell, he's worse that Crichton . . .

. . .

Yeah, Dr. Four has Romana as a Companion (as well as mate . . .er . . . wife), but still! . . .

(Author's Note: Yeah, yeah, yeah! I know that Tom Baker's Doctor is FAR from being as clueless as Chiana is letting on here. It's just the WAY he acted sometime that is fooling our three streetwise girls in gray here. Sometimes Baker's Doctor does TOO of job at appearing . . . harmless and silly).

Hey, so wouldn't helping a close relative of "my" Doctor be a good thing for help . . . repaying for everything that'd been done for us?! Keep him and his Companions (which now include Betty and Ragan . . . who ARE part of my family who I owe, by the way) from coming to harm. Help THEM succeed in their Quests and stuff!

That and . . . Romana had said something about wanting to take a shot at refining her magic instructing skills (she'd been having . . . some kind of troubles while doing that with Dr. Four). Maybe Chi and the others will make better students to sharpen her skills.

Did I actually say that? Well, yes I did! Isn't like the subject matter is boring!! I mean . . . magic is so DRAD ("cool" for you non- Farscape types out there).

Not like she'll bore them to death like our teachers back on Nebari Prime had done.

Yeah, so you see why it would be a good idea for them to help Romana, Ragan and Betty by switching?

(Note: the "trouble" that Romana kept having with "her" Doctor was that they kept on finding themselves . . .er . . .stopping for "exercise" only part of the way into a lot of magery lessons.)

. . .

Thought so! Glad you see my point!

Still, on the OTHER hand if Aeryn Pip and Chi stay here with me and the others . . . I'll . . . .they will be helping "our" Doctor in a more direct manner. Not . . . that he wouldn't lack for help but then again . . . a little extra never hurt!

Trust me! I usually avoided situations like it but there were fracas I witnessed out in the Uncharted Territories (place I called home back in my reality . . . the "Farscape" reality). I know what I'm talking about!!

Yes, I know by leaving my group that Aeryn Pip and Chi (my sisters) will be away from me for possibly long periods of time. But it is not like it'll be I never see 'em again! Unlike that time when Nerri had us split up and I went into hiding from those Nebari bastards from the Establishment hunting for both of us. Hadn't known if I'd ever see Nerri again but this is different. Even if total disaster befalls them on a Quest, the Rules and Agents will eventually return 'em back to Terra Prime (what with Inter-Office politics demanding that Champions live on "homebase" realities only for long term living arrangements and dren like that). Terra Prime is OUR designated homebase (and a pretty good one at that, I might add, for a home).

We . . . need some input on which way my sisters should go, you see. Inquirer is a "straight shooter". Won't manipulate things in order to bend a friend to only suit her.

We trust her and want her to help us . . come to some kind of . . .decision.

1. That and she's one of the few not busy right now to help us with this . . . crisis at hand.
