Scarran emperor
would pursue.
And we would all tremble at the
power of his magical wormholes.
Did you not tell me
Crichton was powerless?
His doomsday weapon
a myth?
That was my belief.
This moment, however,
is not without opportunity.
Agreed.
Knowing the emperor's
whereabouts
allows us to negotiate
a peace proposal
before our position
becomes so eroded
as to be laughable.
Yes, my love.
Of course.
It also gives us the opportunity to surprise the
Scarran leader
and decapitate his empire.
The sudden chaos in their ranks
might tip the balance.
And if that fails?
No, I will not be remembered
by history
as the commander under whom
Peacekeeperdom fell.
No, my love.
You will not.
Because despite your station,
you are weak.
I say again that which
I have said before.
Death is preferable to subjugation under
Scarran rule.
They must be defeated.
How?
Chiana.
Father.
Not quite the
Luxan greeting, but...
- What are you doing here?
- Right now?
Saving your life.
Thanks.
Jothee, shouldn't we
be running?
Our concealment technology is three
generations beyond yours.
We could pull up beside 'em and they wouldn't
know we're here.
So, you're in command now.
- He's a cleaver.
- Cleaver?
- Field officer.
- Which means he's got brains.
The rest of us
just like to fight.
What are you doing here?
We've been following
the emperor for quite some time.
And then, there you were.
We gotta take
the crown head out,
but his ship
is pretty well impenetrable.
One would think.
Is this accurate?
Looks like we could
take him out in four shots.
Three.
Yes, that sounds
quite reasonable.
Absolutely. We're walking
into Federationville here.
You cross the T's.
You dot the lower case J's,
and we're good to go.
Emperor,
could you review the accord
- that you wish all of us to agree to?
- Of course.
At the core of
the matter is the perception
that Crichton can create
wormhole weapons.
If I propose an armistice
to the Peacekeepers
with Crichton by my side,
they will naturally assume
he has bestowed a military edge
upon the Scarran Empire.
The Grand Chancellor
is no gambler.
He would indeed
choose peace over a war
he knows he would lose.
Being benevolent,
I will then propose an accord
which favors us in mining rights
and trade balance, whilst
allowing complete self-rule
of all Peacekeeper territories.
And I'm out, right?
You shall be released
upon the signing.
And a great many lives will be saved by
everybody sim...
Do you really wish
to broker peace with an enemy
you are certain to destroy?
What is this?
It is the proper course
of action.
If your kind has a prayer
for the dying,
fill your mind with it now
that you may be comforted.
He's passing over.
The secret of peace is lost.
It's not good.
Stark, give him last rites.
Oh, I cannot.
I'm beneath him.
Astro Boy, you can take his power, protect his
gift.
Oh, no, I cannot.
Stark, you can!
You're a Stykara.
I've seen you do amazing things.
When you pass someone over,
you take what they know.
- Help him help us.
- Quickly before he dies.
No, I cannot!
Aeryn, help me!
No, no!
No, no!
My mask!
Don't touch me!
- What have we done?
- I don't know.
Something good
or something very bad.
Hey, hey.
We're gonna have to
transfer the baby now.
Now?
- Can you remember what to do?
- I think so.
- You stay with him. Where's the transfer kit?
- Over there.
- Where?
- There!
- It's gas.
- What?
- You gotta be kiddin' me!
- They're entombing us.
Saleek, this is very unoriginal.
What does this do?
- Paralytic embalming agent.
- Stark.
Preserves living tissue
without harming the brain.
Scarrans use it on specimens
they wish to dissect
whilst they're still alive.You did it, John.
All fighting has stopped.
There's no more dying.
And all of a sudden,
three is not such
a scary number.
But no matter
how wonderful this is,
I will not accept it
as a trade-off
for losing you.
I've
