... and then Heskon is showing them to their quarters. They reach a security checkpoint, and Heskon takes Crichton's ident chip again. He swipes it, but then asks Crichton to place his hand in a spot in the machine. Crichton resists at first, but the Peace-troopers snap to attention, and Heskon explains that access to everything past where they are requires genetic verification. Chiana tries to smooth-talk Heskon, but he isn't having it, and he announces that as a Chief Security Officer, he can give Crichton orders in this situation. Crichton seethes, but removes his gloves, and after another withering glare, sticks his hands into the openings on the console. The computer announces, "Analyzing." Is it me, or are the act breaks getting easier to see coming?
The machine does its thing -- and confirms "Larraq's" identity. Chiana can barely believe their luck, but she and Crichton both hold it together and stay in character. Heskon offers to show them the rest of the way to their quarters, but Crichton declines, and he and Chiana are out of there.
