Aeryn and John hurry through a doorway, Scorpius supported between them. John tells Scorpius they've "got a taxi waiting," and says it's the first rule of Piss-Poor Planning, of which he is the grand master: "Have your exit ready before your entrance." Scorpius is like, you caused a race riot? And John smiles. "Pretty cool, huh?" Scorpius says he's impressed, and a Charrid steps in front of them with a rifle: "Remain where you are or I'll shoot. Release your weapons, now." Braca steps out of nowhere and shoots the Charrid with a sexy little smile, then disappears again. "Braca?" Scorpius gasps, and John grunts. "Yeah. Feel the love, Mr. Burns." They hurry on and Scorpius thinks, "Not with Sikozu around... Oh wait, she's a total freak! Perfect! Is this Christmas?"
Chiana pulls Noranti through the riot of soldiers, getting all kind of trampled, and yells, "Frell!" They run up to a Scarran soldier and Chiana dissembles with her usual complete lack of effort, which is always hilarious: "Hey, can you help us? We're...um, afraid." Heh. The Scarran tells them to back off, and then Noranti gives him some Granny Blow and he twirls about before falling on the floor. "It works!" Noranti nods at Chiana. Everybody's so busy! I don't know what's going on!
D'Argo pulls Sikozu through a fight, with Rygel Jazzin' it after them, begging John not to leave without them. I don't know if it's a joke or what. D'Argo shoves Sikozu at a Charrid: "Warrior, can you take this Kalish piece of trelk?" He looks at her, and D'Argo smashes his face and he goes down. D'Argo and Sikozu nod at each other: "Nice." Rygel hurrying them along, she offers to try it again, and he pushes her at another one. "Warrior. Could you take this Kalish piece of trelk?" They're so funny, and so weird.
John, Scorpius, and Aeryn come down a corridor, with Lo'La actually in their sights. Scorpius gasps that even shrouded, she can't outrun a Stryker, and Aeryn tells him that they don't have to go far: Moya's disguised as an oil freighter in the shipping yards, and ready to starburst. Two Charrids appear and John is like, "Aeryn, could you...?" She hands Scorpius off to John and pulls her pistol. Scorpius babbles another negative, this time about how they can make a bargain, and John asks his where his nerve's gone. "Grasshopper, just stick with me. They ain't gonna pop Fat Man." Aeryn gestures for them to be quiet and looks out into the hangar; Scorpius suddenly drops to the floor, gurgling. John kneels at his side and tells him not to pass out. Scorpius lies perfectly still. Aeryn kneels too, and cocks her pistol at his head. "Get up, or I kill you now."
