Aeryn is giving John flying lessons in one of Moya's pods (he's a skilled pilot, but still new to Moya's technology). Aeryn is berating him for his slowness in picking up on her teachings when the ship is stopped cold by something. Meanwhile, a strange man named Staanz arrives on Moya, warning them that they were going to stumble into a restraining field known as the Flax (and hoping to be rewarded for his kindheartedness, naturally). D'Argo hires him to help rescue John and Aeryn, as well as to locate and board a Luxan ship that he discovers was lost in the area. Things become more complicated when a party of SpacePirates arrives, in search of Staanz.
