"Look at the Princess, Part 3: The Maltese Crichton" I have heard the accounts of the experiences the others went through during their time at the Royal Court. Next to that, the trials Pa'u Zhaan and I faced aboard Moya might seem insignificant. However, I will say without hesitation that these were among the hardest, most terrifying, and most painful days of my life. While the crew was on the planet, Moya identified Scorpius' ship entering orbit near us. We knew that Scorpius sought Crichton, and it seemed that the only way to protect the Human was to lure Scorpius away, on the notion that Scorpius might think Crichton was fleeing aboard Moya, and pursue. Moya entered Starburst for as short an interval as she was capable, but when she exited, Scorpius' ship was nowhere to be found. Realizing he had not taken our bait, Zhaan and I attempted to retrace our journey and return to where we had left our companions. Moya, however, had other designs. She had apparently picked up a familiar signal and began to track it across space, leading us to a glorious nebula of white light. The sensation Moya experienced upon encountering the light was ... indescribable. She was exhilarated, filled with overwhelming sense of connection, of ... I suppose I would have to call it love. Moya recognized the race we had encountered, and she identified them as the Builders: her creators, her gods, the entities who had imbued the originally non-sentient Leviathans with intellect and emotion. One of the Builders, who introduced himself as Kahaynu, materialized aboard Moya. Considering Pilots as unworthy to communicate with deities such as himself, he chose to address his intentions to Zhaan. He informed her that the Builders had been made aware of Moya's offspring, Talyn, and he expressed their disapproval at a Leviathan's ability to spawn a gunship. Zhaan tried to explain that it was not Moya's fault, but I could feel Moya's guilt and shame in the presence of her disapproving creators. Kahaynu informed Zhaan that Talyn's birth was unacceptable to the Builders. Because of it, their race had made a decision: Moya would be "decommissioned." Killed. Myself along with her. And Zhaan, as our unfortunate "cargo," would be left to die as well.... Other log entries available for access...
