8. Moya's crew detect a hidden Peacekeeper command base less than 20 arns from their position and identify it as a possible source of medical supplies. Pilot explains that the planet below is an uninhabitable gas giant whose far-side moon is large enough to hold an atmosphere and whose mass will shield Moya from the base. Crichton agrees to infiltrate the base disguised as a Peacekeeper officer, with Chiana posing as his "server".
9. According to YouTube automatic captions, Crichton and Chiana land at the base under the identities of Captain Lorac and his server, using a Peacekeeper ident chip with maximum security clearance that Chiana has obtained. According to YouTube automatic captions, they are met by the base commander, Javio, who takes them to quarters on level four and grants Chiana freedom to move around the base. According to YouTube automatic captions, at a security checkpoint, Chiana's hand is scanned for Velkar genetic verification; Crichton defuses the resulting alert by accusing the chief security officer of being disrespectful to a superior officer.
10. On his way back to Moya, Crichton is exposed as an impostor and captured by Scorpius, who identifies himself and begins mapping Crichton's neural patterns.
