Farscape: Next Generation

Chapter 11: Frelling Wormholes

"You sure you should be going?" John asked as Aeryn loaded some items into her prowler.

"We need supplies John. I'll only be an arn or two. I'll comm you if I need anything."

John didn't feel confident in the idea, considering she was almost dead not but 14 hours ago. But he knew there was no stopping her. It was probably best to let the stubborn Aeryn Sun do her supply run.

"Alright but two arns and I'm coming to get you."

Aeryn got into her prowler and departed from Moya. John watched her from command deck, starting his two-hour timer.

But she didnt get far as a wormhole formed in the distance, close to Aeryn's location. Being the experienced pilot she was, Aeryn avoided being sucked into the wormhole.

"Aeryn?"

John didn't get a response. He was anxiously impatient and commed her again.

"Aeryn?!"

"John."

"Abort. Docking bay is open."

"Got it. On my way back."

She turned the prowler around. Wormholes were basically beacons for Scorpius, no doubt he would be on their ass in half an arn.

"Pilot?"

"Yes Commander?"

"Can we starburst?"

"Yes."

"As soon as Aeryn's on board, get us out of here."

"D'Argo." John was once again pacing the passageways, tier by tier, looking for his son.

"Dad?" D'Argo appeared behind John.

"What are you doing?" John asked.

D'Argo knew that face, either something was wrong or he was in trouble.

"I was just drawing with 1812." He held up the drawing he was working on for his dad, which just so happened to be wormhole.

This child is going to swallow the whole universe with a wormhole one day, John thought. He really couldn't blame the child, D'Argo had no way of controlling wormholes.

"Commander Crichton," Pilot came over the comms system.

"Yeah Pilot?"

"Despite our best efforts of starburst, a marauder has still located Moya. I estimate about 250 microts away."

John pissed, bit his lip and shook his head. He just wanted to get to earth and live a semi-normal life.

"D'Argo come with me now," John said grabbing his son's hand.

John took D'Argo and 1812 to one of D'Argo's favorite spots for hide and seek. It was a good hiding spot, for not only for the game but Scorpius too.

"Stay here and promise me you won't come out till either me or your mom comes and gets you." John instructed.

D'Argo shook his head yes and John ruffled the boy's hair.

John met back up at command with Aeryn.

"It's gonna be Scorpius," John would be a millionaire if he made that bet every time.

Scorpius appeared on the clamshell. "Hello John."

"Would you look at that," John whispered to Aeryn.

"I believe we have some unfinished business to attend to," Scorpius informed. "You owe me wormhole knowledge, and what better time than right now."
