[It does not take longer than a few solar days for Scorpius to become certain Aeryn's illness is no naturally induced heat delirium. The suit should have regulated her temperature and brought her to full recovery in that time, but instead her condition remains unchanged, even now.
Despite his assurances that John Crichton does not figure into his plans, he did not mask his disappointment particularly well in discovering the human long missing from the Leviathan when they located her. But the ship serves its other purpose well in the subsequent half-cycle, and with the coveted Crichton out from under them, he hears very little of Grayza beyond reports from his man on her command carrier. While the political situation remains unchanged, he is content to keep out of sight.
Today he finds Aeryn on the bridge, working. This insistence on exerting herself is not unusual, for her or for any space-bred Peacekeeper. But it does not bode well for her health.
He approaches from behind in near silence, setting a hand on her shoulder.]
