Description

Reraizure.At the start of the episode Æon is preparing to penetrate a Breen prison disguised as a guard, where Trevor is keeping compromising photographs of him and Æon having sex, with the price of their return being a Narghile. Narghiles are a mysterious controlled species, apparently immortal, that produce a memory-wiping drug called 'Bliss'. During her escape, Æon runs into a female prisoner called Muriel, killing her in self defense after being mistaken for a guard. After her escape with the photos, Æon encounters and leaves with a Monican called Rordy. As they drive away from the prison, Rordy reveals himself to have been Muriel's partner, and Æon is afraid to tell him what actually happened, though she does tell him of Muriel's death. Rordy tells Æon that, years before, he and Muriel had taken 'Bliss', and lost their memories. Not remembering who they were or what lives they had had, Rordy and Muriel set out to capture every Narghile alive and launch them all into the sun on a special platform. Through her consolatory actions, Æon and Rordy begin to develop affection for each other. Æon takes the 'final' Narghile up to the platform, only to find that all the others are missing. It transpires that Muriel betrayed Rordy and sided with Trevor, handing the Narghiles over to him and giving him exclusive control over 'Bliss'. Trevor, who was on the platform waiting for Muriel, and Æon fight, which ends with Trevor stealing the Narghile. Æon tells Rordy (who has discovered the compromising photos) about Muriel, and the two have harsh words. Rordy eventually goes up the cable and finds out the truth of Æon's words, then tries to launch the platform, which is still anchored to the ground by a cable: eventually, the platform crashes. Meanwhile Æon infiltrates the prison a second time to find proof for Rordy, but Trevor meets her as she escapes and the two battle a second time, with Æon only just managing to escape along the anchoring cable of the crashed platform. Once at Rordy's home, she gives him the Narghile she stole, but Rordy no longer cares about it all. Annoyed at his attitude, she leaves, then remembers her mission and returns, destroying the photos. But when she looks for Rordy, she finds that he took the Narghile's pill of 'Bliss' as mental suicide. She leaves in a state of misery.
