8. What happens in "A Clockwork Nebari"?
9. The episode opens aboard Moya, where Pilot, Chiana and the others are gathered and Crichton tells Aeryn that she can yell at him later, according to the automatic transcript. A group of Nebari then abducts Chiana; their leader, a woman named Vara, tells the crew that Chiana must be delivered to Nebari control. The Nebari administer a mental cleansing drug to the crew and collar Pilot, because Pilot's species nullifies the cleansing process and so has to be contained by other means.
10. According to YouTube automatic captions, Vara tells the crew that a Peacekeeper patrol from Scorpius's carrier is operating in the area, and orders Pilot to take the ship to the nearest Nebari territorial outpost. The collar will detect any attempt to Starburst and inject Pilot with a lethal dose, closing off the obvious route of escape. During the confrontation, Chiana confesses that she and Ner escaped Nebari Prime years earlier using exit permits whose meaning she only now understands, according to the automatic transcript.
11. YouTube automatic captions record that Once a resistant core has formed, the crew decides to head for the Nebari outpost using Vara's own coordinates, in order to free Pilot from the collar. YouTube automatic captions state that a Peacekeeper patrol remains in the immediate vicinity of Moya throughout, adding an external threat to the standoff inside the ship.
