Galaxy Girls The Diabolical Hand S1E1ch9

CDJ: (strides into the Frigus Iustitia sickbay where MSS stands beside a medbed where DL lies) Scrummy, what happened, down there?

 

MSS: The remaining scientists were taken by the hand. Dhee was the only one remaining when I arrived.

 

DL: (to MSS) You shouldn't have endangered yourself.

 

CDJ: (to DL) Well, Scrummy's the heroic type. Are you all right?

 

Chief Medical Officer Lance Boyle: (joining them) Trying to do my job, too, Captain?

 

CDJ: I need the extra pay. (smiling)

 

DL: All of this attention is unnecessary.

 

CMOLB: I'm the professional, here. Please allow me to be the judge of that. (smiles) Let's just take a look. (passes his hand over a display at the end of the bed and a holo diagnosis screen curves up and over the length of DL's body) Some of your stats are a little high, but considering you were nearly kidnapped by an unknown alien, I think we can attribute that to stress.

 

CDJ: Well, we'll be docking at Stonehenge any moment. Scrummy can take you to the bar for a drink of whatever Aquarians drink to steady their nerves, then we'll meet in the Director's office?

 

MSS: That sounds like a good plan. (to CDJ) Dhee, shall we vee directly to the bar?

 

DL: Yes, thank you. (rises from the medbed) Thank you, Dr. (to CMOLB)

 

CMOLB: Anytime.

 

CDJ: (once the two Aquarians are out of sickbay) Okay, Doc, want to tell me what's got you worried?

 

CMOLB: Hm? Worried? No, I'm not worried. Concerned, I suppose. Interested. Aquarian biology is very different from ours, no matter how much they look like us, superficially.

 

CDJ: So, what has you, "interested?"

 

CMOLB: Remember how I said how I attributed her high stats to the stress of the attack?

 

CDJ: You don't think that's what caused it?

 

CMOLB: (looks at CDJ) Captain, Aquarians never experience stress.

 

MSS and DL enter the vee room and MSS informs the vee tech of their destination. The vee tech suddenly gasps, looking past MSS, to something happening behind her. MSS turns, discovering DL radiating a blue mist.

 

MSS: Dhee, what are you doing? (taking a step toward the scientist)

 

DL: I can't resist the returning. This is the only way to protect our people.

 

VeeTech: Captain Jetsam! Emergency in vee room two!

 

CDJ: (in sickbay with CMOLB, the comlink in her left temple glows blue) What kind of emergency?

 

MSS: We can return to sickbay! Doc can place you in stasis!

 

DL: Me, but not it. (the mist thickens around DL)

 

VeeTech: Medical, I think! It's the Aquarian scientist!

 

CDJ and CMOLB race out of sickbay, toward vee room two.

 

MSS: (reaches toward DL, but her fingers can't penetrate the mist) There must be another way.

 

DL: (smiles) Your Terran friend is wearing off on you. (looks serious) Beware the Voice. It wants something, very badly. (the mist has nearly made her invisible)

 

CDJ and CMOLB enter the vee room at a run, both drawing up short when they see MSS standing before a misty, glowing cocoon of blue.

 

MSS: (solemnly) We are with you. We thank you for your sacrifice.

 

CDJ: (quietly) Scrummy, what --?

 

The cocoon of blue mist suddenly collapses in on itself, and the mist drifts apart, almost instantly dissipating, vanishing, and the Aquarian scientist is gone. MSS turns to CDJ, who gasps, seeing that her Aquarian friend's eyes are solid, neon blue!
