John has the bomb in his hands, and he's written "Hi There" on one side. Aeryn asks what he's thinking. "I think Lady MacBeth is gonna find a way to screw us, but Staleek is probably way ahead of her." Aeryn hums, nodding. "Which leaves us with Plan..." Aeryn completes the thought: "E." He smiles at her and they say it together: "E for elevator!" Not only cute, but also verrry romantic, considering the whole Sesame Street thing from back on Earth. His plan, his language, his alphabet: her more. And it's not a one-way street either, so there's no weirdness. I love this show so much. "Mm hmm. And I'm gonna tap dance for the Emperor." She cautions him that Staleek's not an idiot, and John nods. "But he can't do jack to me as long as this bomb's ticking." John and Aeryn look at each other, and the bomb slowly winds down and stops ticking. Lovely. Commercial.
John and Aeryn hurry down a Katratzi corridor, useless bomb in hand. "You can't reactivate the bomb in any way?" He almost grins. "Not in any useful manner." Chiana comms in asking what the hell they're supposed to do; D'Argo tells him Lo'La's diagnostic will take at least another hour. Rygel and Noranti comm in to say that they're going to get caught way before that. "Sparky, where are ya?" Rygel tells him there are Charrids everywhere. "Can't go anywhere at this point," Noranti says. John just tells them to get to the elevator if they can. Noranti asks Rygel where the elevator is; Staleek asks Ahkna where Crichton is. This is like Doctor Who with the running around like Benny Hill all of a sudden. Like Ahkna might be wearing a bikini suddenly. She says he won't get far: "The station is sealed." Staleek tells her that might just end up being her epitaph.
Scorpius stands with Sikozu as she works the elevator console; sparks are shooting out of it, so it's like that. John and Aeryn run up as the base PA broadcasts short ugly words. "Sikozu has managed to summon the Rabrokator," Scorpius says, and John asks what the hell that is. "Some kind of massage tool?" (...What?) Sikozu explains it's a drilling elevator, like a Wonkavator basically, but that they need the keychip to actually use it. The elevator doors open and the people inside are like, "Bwuh?" John hits the Kalish occupant, Aeryn hits the Charrid, and together they immediately drag them out of the elevator.
