Only Riddick made it back to the skiff,his bedraggled form looming out of the darkness
appeared to them every bit like a fallen angel.They greeted him heartily,patting his back
and cheering his return.For once,Jack didn't ask the obvious, where's Fry.They all knew.
But now they were once again reminded of the new problem,Riddick glanced up at the
sealed door with disheartening weariness.To be so close to freedom and yet still be so far
away.And why did these people look upon him like some sort of super hero.He could
open the closed door no more than they could.If he could convince the Doctor inside to
open it,even just a bit,then he could react.Take over the ship and get them the hell out of
here.But after much banging,kicking,and yelling,it was obviouse that the Doc wasn't
coming out.
And yet another problem presented itself in it's full hideous glamoure.The skiffs tiny
engines were beginning to power up.The Doc was completing the final preparations and
would soon be taking off,leaving them to face the demons that crept ever closer in the
dark.
Jack began to sob as Imam held him protectively,his own fears showing plainly on his
face as he looked to Riddick for some source of hope.But he found none.Riddick's
shoulders slumped wearily as he shifted his weight to his one good leg.The other bled
fitfully and he knew that once the skiff left,he would be the first to go.Even so,he would
not go down without a fight.His eyes flashed towards the darkness as he turned the shiv
over in his hand.

Gediman stood from his chair and moved to the back of the ship to make the final tasks
to get this ship airborn.The smug satisfactory look still painting his face.He had outwitted
everyone and would now be returning to his colleagues to brag about his findings.Then
the experiments would begin again, under his guidance and this time and they would all
pay him the respect he deserved.
He was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he never noticed the dark form unfurling
behind him.So lithely it moved,snake like in it's silent stalk.The form hung upside-down
from the overhead vent, a sneer of cold contempt parting it's jaws as it's leering claws
reached out for his glowering head.
Slowly the doctor turned,finally coming face to face with his attacker. A brief dawning
of recognition flickered in his eyes, only to be immediately replaced by unbridled horror
as his eyes met with the dark lobes before him. His lips parted as if to say something,but
by then it was all over. The beast's hands had folded in upon him and his head twisted
sharply.The dull crack of his spine giving way filling his last conscious thought before
the world went black.
