Backroom. Natira is licking Scorpius's headgear. She asks if he's still angry at her, and Scorpius purrs, "Furious." Natira says that's fine: "It adds enthusiasm to our encounters." I like these crazy kids. Is that wrong? The two of them exit the room.
Back in the observation room, Crichton chants, "Leave the cooling rods, leave the cooling rods..." They do. He's got psychic powers! Crichton rushes for the door, dragging Aeryn out with him.
Pirate Zhaan touches the polyhedron, and a computer voice announces that her container is being retrieved.
Rygel desperately clings to the container as it zooms down a track. His robe is torn off by the wind, and he falls into the container in his short-johns. Aw!
The container slides to a stop. Pirate Zhaan and Chiana go toward it.
Aeryn and Crichton sneak into the backroom. Which has no security at all, apparently. Oh, well. Crichton spots the glow-stick case and quickly pops out Scorpius's spares. He hears Harvey whispering, "No, stop," but flicks his hands up distractedly and tries to go on with what he's doing.
Pirate Zhaan sees Rygel, who hasn't quite finished hiding himself in one of the storage crates. She distracts the guard while Chiana helps Rygel hide.
Aeryn watches nervously as Crichton argues with the voice in his head. She hushes him, and Crichton whispers, "He's in my ear. How about some Gelifan paste in his ear?" He starts to fill one of the glow-sticks with goo, and continues to hear Harvey ordering him to stop. Crichton struggles with himself, arms twitching, gasping, "I can do this!" Aeryn runs over and takes the glow-stick from him. Crichton watches as she coats the glow-stick with goo and returns it to the briefcase. They hear a door open, and Aeryn ends up diving on top of Crichton behind a chaise lounge. Yeah, the chaise seems like a weird decorating choice for Natira. But let's not stereotype. I mean, maybe in between crazy kinky sex acts with totalitarian mutant hybrids, Natira likes to curl up on the chaise with a good book. She could have layers! So anyway, glow-stick girl strolls in and retrieves her briefcase. And if you can pay attention to that while Aeryn and Crichton are on top of each other in the foreground, I salute you. Especially when Aeryn's putting her hand over Crichton's mouth. To keep him quiet, I'm sure. Not for any other reason. Glow-stick girl is apparently unable to sense the incredible sexual tension in the air, and just grabs her briefcase and exits.
