lifeless world. Perhaps not. We've been there. These images are part of a data upload transmitted by Jool before we left her on Arnessk. I have more in the archives if you require. Undoubtedly you will recall... Except not you because you weren't there. It was right after Crichton realized that he loved you more than anything. - And you were as frizbot as a... - Shh. Hmm? Oh! Arnessk. These ancient Eidelons were not long dead as everyone assumed. Just suspended in time for 12,000 cycles. When we reversed the device that was holding them, back they came into existence. Right after I went swimming with the creature from the black lagoon. That sounds exciting. There is no doubt that today's Eidelons are a direct descendent of the ancient peacemaking Eidelons of Arnessk. And? They have a unique ability tied to their physiology. Which is latent in our host Eidelons. Why can't their ancestors reignite that ability? Thus recreating the greatest peacemaking race in history! Am I going insane or is the crazy lady starting to make sense? - Yes. But I thought we were finished. - So did I. What happened to "run first, no questions later"? Scorpius. We wake up and he finds us before we have our first cup of coffee. - This is not our fight. - I agree. But as long as there's a war on, everyone's after me 'cause I'm the winner-take-all weapon guy. - Every time we get involved... I know. People die. We out of options? This Eidelon education program. - What are the odds it'll work? - Not good. Not good is the best odds we ever get. The most exciting aspect is the possibility of learning how to influence peace in others. Noble aspiration, High Priestess. We have discussed it amongst ourselves, and would be most appreciative if you would transport Pikal and Caa'ta to Arnessk for an introductory delegation. - But we can take many more. - As I have repeatedly said... Centuries of hiding do not melt away suddenly, Pikal. We remain skeptical about your motives. And that's just on our side. I know a little something of the Leviathans and their symbiotic Pilots. Peaceful to a fault, if I recall. To Moya or myself, violence is less than an option. Then I have a simple query. These beings that you ferry, do you trust them? Implicitly. Then I entrust Caa'ta and Pikal to your care. Tissue transferal conductor. The doc hasn't got all the bits, but you'll probably find everything you need up on your ship. And the doctor will give you detailed instructions. That's unacceptable. He's coming with us. No, I'm sorry. The doctor and I do not travel into Peacekeeper territory. We have some previous issues with them. Aeryn, this is a relatively simple procedure. My baby is in a Hynerian. It's nowhere near simple. Of course it is. This part attaches to Rygel, the other part to you. Before you know it, the baby's transferred. So elegantly designed. Anyone can use it. Good luck. - What? Where are you going? - Not with you. Why not? These Eidelons have just absorbed a thunderbolt revelation. I know more about their ancient culture than they do. They can benefit from my instructions until you return. Can I do it myself? No. Right. What the hell is he doing here? - We were invited. - Just stay there. I've thought this through. We need him. I don't like it. Well, blame me. I do blame you. I don't like it! I don't like it either. But we are currently flying through Peacekeeper controlled space during a war and he is a Command Carrier officer. Actually my most recent commission was commander of a full Peacekeeper armada. Uh-huh. Among other things! He knows all the current pass codes. I'll keep him away. I hope so. Oh, Aeryn, Rygel, off-limits. - Good morning, Commander. - Morning, Pilot. Moya looks beautiful. How much did you miss us? We have received a message that appears to have been hailing for some time.
