Feb. 16th, 2006 09:58 pmSikozu had run into Aeryn as the ex-Peacekeeper left the security office, having detained two patrons. One of them needed a doctor, preferably Kevin Fawkes. Aeryn was headed to the infirmary to see if he was there, but if Sikozu wanted to helpful, in light of their 'truce' she could check the main bar as well.
So, one petite red-headed alien is searching for Dr. Fawkes, approaching any and all people she has seen exit or enter the infirmary in the past.

If you had me alone...locked up in your house for twenty-four hours and I had to do whatever you wanted me to, what would you do with me?

Jan. 16th, 2006 12:29 pmSo, due to there not being a lot of specific info given on the Kalish in canon, this is what I've come up with to explain a few things about Sikozu:
- the only enhanced thing about Sikozu is her radiation/heat ability. Everything else is standard Kalish biology.
- the heat part of that enhancement is sort of millicanon. In PKW, Scorpius makes specific reference to her radiation being heat producing, to the point that it can ignite gas at a small volume. However, in WSS: La Bomba, Aeryn, D'Argo, Crichton and Scorpius all survive her full radiation, which indicates that there couldn't have been any heat, as they would have all been injured and they weren't. So it makes sense that she can control both aspects of the radiation: either heat producing, or not, but both will kill Scarrans.
- all enhanced Kalish are clones. While they are referred to as bioloids, they are not machines. Sikozu loses enough apendages in canon to indicate that she is not a mechanical bioloid, as are usually found. They are cloned from existing members of the Kalish resistance, who volunteered to be killed in order to allow the clones to take over their lives.
- clones are growth accelerated to match the age of the person they were cloned from. As such, Sikozu never had a childhood, or parents. Her first conscious memory is in her current physical state. The family of the girl she was cloned from do not accept her as part of them.
- Sikozu is approixamtely 10 years old, although physically she appears probably in her early 20's/late teens. Mentally, she is still fairly young.
- She was taught by the resistance for approximately one year, in isolation. She then worked her way up in education and society to being accepted by The Organization.
- Sikozu's job in the resistance was to infiltrate a specific area of Kalish/Scarran society and then await further instructions. For example, Sikozu's post was The Organization, Zukash's post was Katrazi, etc. She was still awaiting those instructions when she met Crichton.
- bioloids are not aware of who the other clones/enhanced are. This is mainly a security caution. If one is caught, they can't give up the others.

The Water Planet - Part 5
Nov. 26th, 2005 07:42 pmScorpius led Sikozu deeper into the temple, backing her up against a wall and running his tongue over the length of her face. She gasped. “You like this?”
She grinned and walked in front of him, facing away. She then knelt down, tracing her hand down his chest. “It’s very inventive.”
He ran a hand through her hair, then grabbed it and pushed her forward. “I have never me a spy more resourceful, nor tenacious.”
“No!” Sikozu tried to crawl away, but Scorpius grabbed her by the foot and dragged her back. Once again she attempted escape, and received a kick to her back for her trouble. He then reached down and pulled the comm device she had implanted in her upper back out of her skin, while she screamed in pain.
“A Scarran comms device.” He crushed it and tossed it aside.
“What did you expect.” She hissed. “How long have you known?”
“Long enough for you to serve as my desires. Unfortunately,” he grabbed her by the hair again and threw her against a wall, growling, “your desires no longer serve my needs.”
“They promised to free my people from their servitude.” Sikozu remained where she had landed, injured and in pain, but still with enough attitude left in her to scream the final word at him. This was not supposed to happen. He was supposed to understand.
“They will not.” His voice was calm again. “And you have ruined something… unique.”
The beating continued, until she passed out from the pain of bruises forming and bones braking. She had no idea how long she lay there, drifting in and out of consciousness after he left her.
When the ground began to shake violently, Sikozu finally woke up enough to know something was very wrong. The temple began falling apart around her, as if being sucked into an enormous vacuum. The arm that had been tied to an alter ripped out of its socket and she screamed again. The force drew her in, slamming her back against the opposite wall.
And then the wall gave way…

Moya & The Water Planet - Part 4
Nov. 25th, 2005 03:37 pm“Tell me, when will we stop following this human, and start imposing our agenda on him?” They were back aboard Moya and Sikozu was properly repairing Scorpius’s coolant system. She completed the finishing touches, and the system retracted back inside Scorpius’ head.
“We already have.”
“Crichton insists he will not build a wormhole weapon.” Her frustration was starting to show. “He insists he can’t.”
Scorpius stood. “Human insistence. Nothing more than a futile attempt to avoid action they insist they will never take!”
Sikozu considered that and walked a few steps away, not facing him. “He will help us?”
“Never.” He whispered in her ear, having approached her from behind. He then pulled the straps of her shirt down, exposing her shoulders. “But he will help Aeryn and his new child.”
Sikozu grinned, and leaned back against him.
********************
Crichton had the knowledge. He admitted it now, having left Moya while they were traveling back to the water planet to have Einstein unlock it for him. Things were starting to fit together perfectly now.
********************
They took fire immediately after leaving starburst at the planet, getting caught in the Scarran-Peacekeeper crossfire. Moya uncharacteristically took control of her own fate, and crashed them straight into the ocean. Sikozu took Rygel to prepare a transport pod, while the others made their own preparations, and searched for Stark – their final hope for peace.
Eventually, they all made their way to the surface, and the Eidolon’s city, which was also under heavy fire. Scoprpius confirmed Captain Bracca and his men were still alive, holed up in the main Eidolon temple with a group of priests who had survived the Scarran attack. The Moya crew made their way to them.
It did not take long for the Scarans to find them. Their weapons were low, and Aeryn was now in labour. Stark was barely able to give his knowledge to the Eidolons before the blasting started.
Sikozu recommended they try to escape. As usual, she was overruled, and Crichton ordered everyone to remain and return fire. Somehow, they managed to hold the Scarrans off, for now, and went about building a barricade and salvaging all the ammunition and weaponry they could.
Scorpius barked orders to Bracca and the rest of the Peacekeepers, and then turned to Sikozu. “Sikozu, I have something for you to do.”
Something about his tone worried her, but she followed anyway.

The Scarran Decimator - Part 3
Nov. 24th, 2005 03:10 pmThey were led directly to a large holding cell, their weapons confiscated. War Minister Akhna and Emporer Staleek, the two highest ranking in the Scarran military, joined them almost immediately. Sikozu hated being this close to them. She reminded herself that the ends justified the means.
The Scarrans knew too much about them and it didn’t take long for the Moya crew to realize there was a traitor among them. Staleek seemed convinced it was Scorpius, and ripped out his cooling mechanism. They gave Crichton one arn to give them the wormhole weapon, or Akhna would start torturing Rygel, who was currently carrying John and Aeryn’s child inside him, and left with him in tow.
Sikozu attended to Scorpius, who insisted Crichton tell the Scarrans nothing, while John and Aeryn conferred. Crichton agreed to make a deal.
While John met with Staleek, Sikozu tended Scorpius’ injury, make-shifting a temporary mend, and the Eidolon prepared to influence the Scarrans into a peaceful solution. The story he told Aeryn of the Peacekeeper’s origins, however, was filed away in Sikozu’s extensive memory.
The Scarrans continued to display their brutality. Lo’la was destroyed, D’Argo and Chiana along with it. Sikozu and Scorpius doubted the Eidolon’s ability to make peace. In her opinion, they would have to fight their way out. She and Aeryn argued about it until Crichton returned, insisting he had given Staleek nothing, but had arranged the return of Rygel and the baby. And finally, it seemed the Eidolon was ready.
When Staleek entered the cell to return Rygel, the Eidolon went to work, using his influence to convince the Emporer he wanted to resolve his conflict with the Peacekeepers without further aggression.
It was a truly surreal scene – all of them sitting down together, peacefully. Until Akhna arrived. She blasted the Eidolon, breaking the influence on Staleek, and they were back where they started. Their only hope was to put the Eidolon’s knowledge into Stark. Sikozu helped them force Stark into it, which only seemed to increase his insanity.
And then the embalming gas came.
***********************
“…preserves living tissue without harming the brain.” Scorpius explained, in his usual calm manner. “Scarrans use it on specimens they wish to dissect whilst they’re still alive.”
Aeryn tended to Rygel, trying to get him up above the gas. Crichton turned to Scorpius and Sikozu. “Is this stuff flammable?”
“Combustible.” Scorpis agreed, putting his hands on Sikozu’s shoulders from behind. “At a very high temperature.”
Crichton approached her from the front. “You can ignite it?”
“The gas is smothering my receptors.” This was not part of her plan, and could get them all killed.
“Come with me Zippo girl, we’re gonna get you to higher ground.” Crichton dragged her near the door, then took her arm. “On my count… one, two, three!” She jumped and shifted her gravity center as Crichton helped flip her upside down, and she landed on the ceiling, above the gas.
“So,” Aeryn struggled to keep Rygel high enough, “basically, you’re going to blow us up?”
“Whoa!” Crichton turned back to Sikozu and she rolled her eyes, even in this time of crises.
“I can direct it. Find cover.” They gathered at the far side of the room, while Sikozu worked to localize her radiation in one of her hands, and then forced it out and towards the door. The blast worked, killing the two Scarran guards and certainly indicating to the command that they were escaping.
Sikozu was unconscious for a few moments afterward, as she always was when using her radiation to such a large degree, but she recovered quickly enough to realize that D’Argo and Chiana were alive, and ready to help them escape. They pulled the weapons off the dead Scarrans, and with a lot of pistol fire, made their way to the Luxan ship belonging to D’Argo’s son.
Somehow, they were once again safe. For now.

The Command Carrier & Moya - Part 2
Nov. 23rd, 2005 06:36 pmTracking Crichton was easy. Scorpius’ mindlink led them straight to the water planet where he and the rest of Moya’s crew were located, but it was not without risk. Their Command Carrier and all aboard were now considered Peacekeeper traitors – they were enemies of both sides. Sikozu was used to the idea of having to make her own way. Her plan was in full swing. Right now, Crichton was all that mattered.
When they arrived on the planet, they were greeted by Crichton himself, along with Aeryn and D’argo. They were not happy to see them. Strangely, it was D’argo who saw reason first, realizing that they needed Scorpius and his Peacekeeper command codes in order to successfully make the journey to Arnessk. He convinced Crichton to allow them to re-join the crew, and so, once again, Sikozu found herself on Moya.
********************
Moya. Sikozu hadn’t exactly missed her since she and Scorpius had been forcibly ejected, but still, she knew the ship inside and out. It felt comfortable to be back.
Their first priority amused her. Crichton and Aeryn were getting married. The ceremony, however, was interrupted by a mercenary attack - gigantic harpoons penetrating straight into the heart of Moya. Sikozu and Chiana were sent to protect the two Eidolons they were transporting, not that she cared what happened to them, but following Crichton’s orders was necessary to get what she wanted.
By the time they reached the men, one was dead and the other had been taken captive by two mercenaries. The women each took one, and made quick work of them – Sikozu shifting her gravity to land on one from above and snapping his neck, Chiana eventually blasting the other. Sikozu didn’t realize how much she had missed this until now.
Once everyone was accounted for, she located the mercenary’s transmitter and disengaged the harpoons, allowing Moya to starburst them to safety. They reached Arnessk without further incident
********************
The only thing Sikozu did not enjoy was that Scorpius insisted she talk to Aeryn, to try to get her on their side and convince Crichton the wormhole weapon was a necessity. It was strange, talking to this version of Aeryn, knowing what she now knew. Still, she did as she was told and once again went to talk to the ex-Peacekeeper.
“Back so soon?” Aeryn barely glanced at her. “Why don’t you tell Scorpius that continuously asking me will not change my opinion. Peace is still a better option than trying to build a wormhole weapon.”
Sikozu regarded her carefully. “Not spoken like a true soldier.”
“Depends on your definition.”
“With all due respect, Aeryn, Crichton is your inferior, so why would you bear his child?” She knew why one Aeryn would. She wondered if this one’s answer would be the same.
“You should leave, Sikozu. And I mean off this ship.” Aeryn sounded tired. There was no malice in her voice.
“I did not mean to offend.” Sikozu didn’t know why she was apologizing, it just seemed like the right thing to do. This Aeryn was so different, yet so much the same. “When I first met Scorpius I naturally assumed I was his superior. I have since learned there is a reservoir to his abilities that continually overshadows my own.”
Aeryn smiled slightly. “Same with Crichton.”
“You view Crichton as your superior?” Sikozu spokje slowly, not certain she had heard that correctly.
“No, as my equal.” Finally, Aeryn turned to face her. “Sikozu, perhaps your under and over estimations of yourself are meaningless. Perhaps you’re just meant to be together.”
Sikozu had no response to that. It was simply something she had never considered. Fortunately, a distraction arrived and Aeryn commed down to the surface. “John, there’s a Scarran warship closing in on the planet at maximum speed.”
“Striker or Dreadnaught?” He asked.
Sikozu answered. “Neither. Something new and much faster.”
“How much time we got?”
“More like how little.”
********************
Crichton, Scorpius and the senior most Eidolon priest arrived on Maya safely. The surface tried to make contact with the Scarran vessel, to no avail.
And then they fired, barely missing Moya and completely destroying the Eidolon temple on the surface. Moya attempted to starburst, but the Scarrans disabled her, and then demanded their surrender. They had no choice but to comply and boarded a transport, save for Chiana and D’Argo, who manned his ship, Lo’la.
Sikozu took the pilot position of the transport. “I have cross-connected the power drive and the fuel system so we can detonate ourselves, should we choose.”
“Comforting.” Crichton gave her a look and then commed D’Argo. “D, last chance to bail.”
“I’m fairly certain they can’t pierce Lo’la’s invisibility shield, but you give us a signal and we’ll be there.” He replied.
“Good fortune, now, get out of the way.” Sikozu flew them out of Moya and straight to the Scarran vessel.

The Command Carrier - Part 1
Nov. 22nd, 2005 12:53 pmThey had been sent on a mission of surveillance. At least, Scorpius had. Sikozu simply went wherever he did.
They did not, of course, perform any reconnaissance. Instead, they attacked – pre-emptively and without official order – and started the war that had seemed inevitable for so long.
Sikozu was pleased.
*******************************
The battle they started raged on. An officer stepped forward to give his report. “The Scarran Vanguard has breached our defense perimeter.”
“We’ve drawn them in sufficiently. The trap is set.” Sikozu clarified, changing comm stations.
“Captain,” as usual, Scorpius was the picture of calm, “initiate the plan, exactly as I instructed.” Captain Bracca, ever the good and loyal soldier, lead his flight team out of the Command Carrier.
Sikozu issued the final instructions. “Fly straight in. Their targeting telemetrics will be corrupted at least two degrees off center by the ambient magnetics. You dare them to hit you.”

“Sir, you were absolutely correct.” A smiling Bracca returned to the main command center of the Command Carrier, his fleet having successfully completed their mission. “Their pilots and gunners were no match for ours.”
Scorpius raised a hand to silence him. Concerned, Sikozu turned to him, though it was hard to stop herself from smiling as well after such a decisive victory. “Scorpius?”
“Prepare to withdraw.”
Bracca looked dumbfounded. “What?”
“The rest of the armada is to continue to engage the enemy, covering our escape.” Their leader’s voice was calm, but firm.
“But Sir, we’re winning.” Braca reminded him.
Sikozu’s concern grew. Unpredictability was the one thing she would never get used to with Scorpius, and in this case, it could be deadly. “Without this carrier, all remaining units…”
“My orders,” he interrupted her, “are clear.”
Bracca and Sikozu exchanged a dubious look, then the Captain approached his commander. “Sir, you’re asking us to withdraw our troops, our ships, our…”
Scorpius cut him off, grabbing him by the throat. “Yes, that’s it.” He growled, barely intelligible, and pushed the soldier away. Shaken, Bracca barked orders to prepare for their departure, following his men out of the command area.
“He is alive, Sikozu.” Scorpius approached her, his tone much lighter, grabbed her about the waist and sat her up on a table. “John Crichton is alive.”
There couldn’t have been better news for her to hear. Her plan was back in action.

They did not, of course, perform any reconnaissance. Instead, they attacked – pre-emptively and without official order – and started the war that had seemed inevitable for so long.
Sikozu was pleased.

The battle they started raged on. An officer stepped forward to give his report. “The Scarran Vanguard has breached our defense perimeter.”
“We’ve drawn them in sufficiently. The trap is set.” Sikozu clarified, changing comm stations.
“Captain,” as usual, Scorpius was the picture of calm, “initiate the plan, exactly as I instructed.” Captain Bracca, ever the good and loyal soldier, lead his flight team out of the Command Carrier.
Sikozu issued the final instructions. “Fly straight in. Their targeting telemetrics will be corrupted at least two degrees off center by the ambient magnetics. You dare them to hit you.”

The Command Carrier
Nov. 21st, 2005 08:18 pmSikozu snuck back in, as quiet and stealthily as she made her way out. There was still no one around. With the same amount of caution, she made her way to a secluded room and accessed the comm station.
The communication was brief and coded in a way no Peacekeeper intelligence officer would be able to crack. Neither would Scorpius. Satisfied, she returned to her quarters.
That was when he told her. John Crichton was dead.
And the plan she had just set in motion was utterly ruined.
