Inside, Crichton starts to fire up the drive, only to find the creature is already there. So this thing looks like a large shambling mound with vine-like dreads and a humanoid face, although it's got a second mouth with large teeth just next to its normal symmetrical mouth. It's also quite strong, as it knocks D'Argo's blade away, causing it to fire into the wall, and then overpowers D'Argo before escaping ahead of a blaster shot from Crichton. Crichton gives chase as Zhaan ministers to a surprisingly injured D'Argo, and then when Crichton returns, he reports that the access point is now secure, but that's cold comfort, as D'Argo hit the second fuel pump and Crichton hit the main pressure control, so they're not going anywhere at the moment. Also, D'Argo's sustained a broken terok, and I don't know what that is but can definitely conclude that internal bleeding can go along with its breakage. On the plus side, the injuries may help take his mind off all the ragweed in the air. M'Lee looks on, no longer looking so scared. Strange, don't you think?
