Pip, Chiana & Chi

But let's ignore this for a moment and concentrate on another of Salis' "guests" . . . For convenience we'll just call her "Chi".

Yes, "Chi" is this reality's version of Chiana and right now she's wanting to know "what the frell's going on"!

Chiana

. . . .

You know, the look of stunned surprise from a face that looks like mine but isn't STILL hasn't . . . . It's still all so DRAD!!

Especially the doppleganger effect! Feels SOOOO good! The positive kind, I mean. I'd hate to think of what I'd do if I go fahrbot with hate when meeting an analog of myself! . . .

Know that Aeryn Pip feels the same way. She is me, in a way . . . .

"What wha . . .what's going on?" Chi stammers, still shaken from the rattling Moya had taken by . . . whatever! "Who are . . .are you?"

Take it slow, Chiana. She's a bit frightened and you did (and still do) have a tendency of not thinking too well but ACTING if you're cornered and frightened. . .

"Well, first we are here to free you," I say slowly putting up a key I'd taken off Salis' dead body. "As for what is going on . . . "

Naturally that takes a lot of doing, the explanation.

. . .

Tell me, was I EVER this headstrong?! This stubborn?

Definitely not so . . .mercenary! This "me and only me" attititude she gives off isn't . . I mean surely I . . .

Nevermind!

. . .

Was I ever like this?!

Aeryn Pip

"I said I don't give a frell about this Moya and all that dren," Chi hisses, rubbing her wrists where the handcuffs had chaffed them. "I say we take a transport pod and get the draz out of here!"

Dren! She's just like I remember myself being around this time period!

. . .

Frell, I see that my sister is shocked by it but unlike her I . . . I had learned a few things about myself in the time period between the Gammak Base and the time I got pulled into this Championship dren! I mean, I had changed . . . even though I didn't feel like admitting it to anyone. I mean that I learned how much I had come to see my old friends of Moy (Moy included) as . . .

Family. . . .

Ye-yeah. Family! I'd do anything for Nerri. Anything for Crichton and the other because . . .

They were family. . . . and because the Doctor and others did so much (including saving Nerri) I . . .

Family . . .

...

Yeah, she'd changed, Chiana. Yeah, she'd changed because of her transformation but there was more to it than that. Is more to it than just that. There was Sigin but . . .

Ah frell it. I'll hash the blotching mess out for myself later!!

"All but John's Farscape Module is suffering from some kind of damage," I say, exasperated. "There all gonna need repairs to be flyable! Yeah, you can try taking that pile of dren out, the module, out of here. IF you can figure out how! But we have another way out of here . . . ."

. . .

Well, why the frell not?! We already have picked up an entire village so far. Why not yet another tagalong?!

"Who the frell are you to shoot me and Ka D'Argo in the back!?" growls Aeryn Sun, still sore from the phasor stun.

D'Argo grunts, still not quiet recovered. Beyond that, he's only able to glare as way of adding to the conversation.

"Well, your back was to me," Zhora quips. "Besides, if we hadn't my furrry friends would have disintegrated you both! We saved your lives!"

Didn't one of the D'Argo's we met give a similar argument about a similar situation? Well, whatever! At least we'd recovered all our "rayguns" and other weapons (including our revolvers, gifts from Alicia ) from the Manimals. One less thing to worry about . . .

Do have to smile a little bit about Crichton muttering something about us being true blue brothers and sisters of the NRA, but then again we all did like to be "prepared" . . .

Anyway, there was more than a little bit of truth to what Zhora's saying. I'm surprised that D'Argo hadn't smelt the Replicants, but . . .maybe the presence of the manimals had distracted him.

And while I'm wondering about things, why not ask myself what's taking so long with the girls in gray?

1. "If I may interrupt," Pilot says over the clamshell before Aeryn Sun can say something. "I fear that there is a more pressing concern!"
