To Be continued in SEASON TWO, with Mind The Baby

Rygel decides he has had enough of just sitting and waiting for the Peacekeepers to give up looking for them, and goes straight to them, to strike a deal (in his *own* interests, of course). He offers the crew up as "payment" for his own freedom and return home.

Crais, having lost his command of his crew to Scorpius, confides in Rygel. He shows Rygel the orders for both their deaths. Rygel allows Crais to come back to the ship with him. The crew is none too happy but grudingly decides to go ahead and allow it. Aeryn shows him the baby leviathan.

In the meantime, the crew is planning a strike on the gammak base. Zhaan has devised an explosive, which John and D'Argo agree to carry. Their plan is to leave the ship before impact/explosion and have Aeryn pick them up. The plan goes along well until after the explosion. There are too many ships around for Aeryn to make the pick-up, so she has to bide her time. John will be o.k. for awhile, but D'Argo can only last so long.

Meanwhile, Crais has boarded Talyn and takes off with him!! The Peacekeeper ship, in the meantime, has finally detected their ship and is attacking - Chiana, Zhaan and Rygel have to go - now! But Moya won't leave because she is so terribly sad about the loss of her newborn. John tells her that if she doesn't leave, she will never get the chance, so Moya goes into starburst, leaving Johh, D'Argo and Aeryn behind.
