Previously Moya encountered another Leviathan claming it was her father. They sent a DRD to the other ship and found that the Pilot had been killed. Moya and Pilot both believe it to be the work of Peacekeepers.


John: Pilot! What the frell are you doing? Call off Talyn now!

Pilot: Talyn kill them.

John turns to D'argo: Stop Pilot from allowing this.

D'argo: I'll try.

John runs out of the room Chiana runs after him

Chiana: What are you going to do?

John: Pip, your staying here, see if you cant Stop Moya, I am going after Talyn.

Chiana: How in frell are you going to do that?

John: I don’t know yet, but something will come to me.

John climbs aboard one of the transport pods, and quickly goes after Talyn.

(With Pilot)
D'argo: Pilot stop this now! Crais and Aeryn did not kill that Pilot.

Rygel: Serves them right.

Jool smacks Rygel and he falls over like a weeple-wobble

D'argo: I understand your anger, but they should not pay for their Peoples actions.

(Transport pod)
John: Aeryn, Crais do you hear me?

Aeryn: What is it John.

John: Pilot has sent Talyn to kill you. I cant make it to you in time, your going to have to out manouver him.

Aeryn: What!

John: You heard me, Pilot sent Talyn to destroy you.

Crais: Talyn, this is Crais, stop your attack immediately.

Talyn still persues the prowler.

Crais: I repeat stop your attack at once.

John sees Talyn up ahead banking and turning to get a weapons lock. Then he fires, but Aeryn’s superior skill moves the prowler just in time. The shot fires within a few feet of the ships nose.

(With Pilot)
D'argo: Listen to me, you want revenge, take it out on those responsible. If you kill them you will be the same as the Peacekeeper that did that.

Pilot looks at D'argo, still angered. Chiana runs in

Chiana: Pilot, look what Aeryn’s done for you.

Pilots anger is starting to leave as he remembers all that Aeryn has done, all their talks, her openness, the good stuff. Still he is angered.
Pilot: Aeryn, I'm sorry.

The DRD in Losian is still wandering around and comes to huge device with lots of flashing lights and symbols.

Chiana points to the vidcom: What is that?

Everyone looks to the vidcom. Rygel gasps
Rygel: It’s Hynerian.

(Transport Pod)
Johns sees that Talyn’s main cannon is charging.

John: PILOT!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!

Talyn charges to full power and lets go another mighty shot. This time the round misses completely, Talyn slows down and bank towards Moya.

John: D'argo, my boy!

D'argo: It wasn’t me, there is Hynerian equipment on the other Leviathan..


A short while later everyone is with Pilot. D'argo is holding Rygel by the neck.

D'argo: What is Hynerian equipment doing onboard a Leviathan?

Rygel (choking): I don’t know, its been over a hundred cycles since I sat on the throne.

John: I thought your people were protected by the Peacekeepers.

Rygel: We are.

John: Just what in hell is that thing?!

Rygel: I don’t know.

Chiana: No matter how much I would love to see toadie here get frelled, he has a point.

D'argo looks at Chiana then back at Rygel. He puts him back down. Rygel waddles over to the vidcom.

Aeryn: Well, what do those symbols mean?

Rygle: (Mumbles to himself for a second) We should leave now, it is a weapon.

John: Sparky, what..kind..of...weapon??!

Rygel: (ashamed and surprised) A photo nucleonic warhead.

John: What are the Hynerians doing with a star trek photon torpedo?

Crais: Peacekeepers dont even have that technology. (He looks at Rygel) Where did you get that?

Rygel: I don’t know. My people never had a weapon of mass destruction. We, lack the knowledge of weapon making.

John: Great, leave it to the slugs to remake the nuke.

Crais: You have seen weapon like this before?

John: Yeah, in our second world war. (he quickly turns and points to Aeryn, she presses her lips shut and grins). My country dropped two of them on our "enemy". Those were nothing like that though! Ours could only destroy a twelve-mile radius.

Aeryn (cant hold it in anymore): You had TWO world wars. (She chuckles)

Crais: And something like that could what. (He points to the vidcom)

John lets out a heavy breath: Take out a planet, or maybe more.

Chiana: Great, what are we going to do now, we're frelled.

John: Pip cool your jets. Ryge, what are all those lights?

Rygel: I don’t know.

Aeryn: Well they seem to be flashing faster.

Pilot: Aeryn’s right, they have doubled their speed since we first seen them.

John looks at Pilot wide eyed, Pilot knows exactly what he’s thinking. Jool looks at them both and turns a little white. One moment passes, but it seemed like a cycle.

John: Pilot...

Pilot: I'm already doing it.

Rygel: What about my chair?

John: I'll buy you another one.

(all in silence) Moya turns and starts hauling ass out of there, the DRD is still looking at the weapon. The lights slowly picking up speed. Moya is no longer within sight of the other Leviathan, but the DRD is still transmitting, the lights are almost constantly on. Moya is still running away. All the lights turn on for a second, blink twice, then off.

Rygel: HA, Must have been a dud.


The weapon detonates, the vidcom screen blacks out. A shockwave ring shoots out from the center of the explosion in all directions expanding rapidly. A small planet that Moya had passed just a few microts ago is engulfed. Parts of the planet scatter then burst into flames, still the shockwave expands not loosing any momentum. It passes through the planets first moon having the same reaction, then another, and another. Moya is going full steam but the shockwave is catching. She passes by another planet, this one looked like Earth, John watches as it is torn to peaces, but it did not vaporize. It appears to be loosing momentum. The shockwave starts to fade out. Moya is shaken a bit as it passes past her.

Aeryn: Pilot, where's Talyn?


The end of "Fat man, little Moya"

The title and the Idea were in a way taken from the 1989 movie "Fat man, little boy", it is a portrayal of the making of the Nuclear bomb. Great movie.

Next on the list will be "Crichtonism"


CBlacksman JC "Radiation waves give her photogasms, do you think she's faking it, can they do that? Hey Zhaan, you faking it?"

AS "She gives me a woody! What, it is a common human term, I've heard you say it before Crichton."
