5. Plot
6. Moya comes under attack from a ship called Talyn and her crew struggle to bring her defence shield to full power as the blast hits. The weapon passes through the shield and the crew's consciousnesses swap bodies, with John Crichton ending up in Rygel's body and Aeryn Sun waking in another crewmate.
7. Zhaan, now inhabiting Pilot's body, contacts Moya from aboard a Halosian vessel and explains that Talyn provoked the engagement after attacking the Halosians. The Halosians send an unarmed commander named Tac aboard Moya to confirm she is peaceful, while D'Argo, trapped in a body with limited mobility, tries to operate the ship's systems from Pilot's station.
8. The Halosians announce that they will scan the ship to verify it carries no weapons and that Talyn is not present. Pilot, who now inhabits Zhaan's body, finds Moya's sensory input overwhelming and asks D'Argo, in Pilot's own body, to take over parts of the link with the living ship.
