Command. Rygel: "You're not just fahrbot; you're magra-fahrbot." Just in case you were wondering whether my closed captioning was working. Crichton has told the others his plan, which apparently is to infiltrate the Gammak base posing as Larraq. The others point out the difficulties of the plan: he'll have to pull of the deception, find a tissue match, and obtain a sample. In addition, if he fails, he'll compromise them all, which is especially serious, since Moya might not be able to get them out of there, given the advanced state of her pregnancy. I may not officially be in on this little powwow, but I will nonetheless point out that no one has mentioned the gravest problem of all, which is that we'll be forced once again to endure THE WORST "BRITISH" ACCENT IN THIS GALAXY OR ANY OTHER. Anyway, Crichton gets all offended at the suggestion that they do nothing, which... maybe I'm giving everyone too much credit, but I don't think, with the probable exception of Rygel, that that's what they were suggesting. He asks if they're happy with the idea of Aeryn dying, and D'Argo and Zhaan both pipe up a negative. Actually, I don't know that "pipe up" is the right expression in D'Argo's case, given that he doesn't so much "speak" as "rumble," but such are the limitations of language. Crichton rounds on Rygel, who says it doesn't matter what he wants -- Aeryn is dying, and the most sensible course of action is... Crichton: "I'm sorry, Sparky, what were you saying?" Geez, Crichton, you asked him a question. Kind of rude to drift off like that. Oh, I see, he was going for intimidation, and Rygel gets it: "To do everything in our power to save Aeryn's life." Zhaan wordlessly concurs, and Crichton stalks out of the room. Rygel: "Even though it's likely to get us killed." I think Crichton might give you that one, but it's probably not the best time to test him. Credits.
