Unfortunate for the slavers as well as John. Because while they were quite experienced with prisoners who were psionic or wielded magical abilities (the latter actually being real quite a shock to John), they weren't even aware that mutant humans with non-psionic superpowers even existed, let alone had any countermeasures for them. Which gave John an edge his captors didn't know about. After getting over the momentary surprise that humans and others who spoke his language were among his fellow captives, he set about learning from them as much as possible about their captors and the part of the universe he was currently in. Wanting to fit in as a typical local human he kept his powers secret and adopted an old fashioned surname since they all seemed to use them. He picked Chrichton because his situation reminded him of the hero of a popular science fiction series that had been rebooted almost a dozen times over the centuries since its creation. During his captivity he used his skills and powers to surreptitiously explore the ship and gather intelligence while he was supposedly securely locked away. His covert activities came in handy two weeks later later when the ship came under attack. | Unfortunate for the slavers as well as John.

| − | While the attackers pounded the ship from without, John set about causing trouble from within by sabotaging vital systems and freeing the slaves from lockdown and arming them. Thanks to his efforts the ship was taken intact with relatively little casualties from the attackers. Now free, he decided to sign on with the privateers who had seized the Wraith. It wasn't like he had anywhere else to go after all. He was lost in another galaxy full of unknown aliens, unfamiliar civilizations and strange phenomena such as real genuine magic. Plus, despite being stuck on the other side of the universe, he was still a member of the Freedom Defense Force. As long as he was here his duty was to gather useful intelligence and look for technology and potential allies that could help Freedom Station and the other human colonies defeat the Arkhons. So he'd use the opportunity as a member of the Wraith crew to do just that while | + | While the attackers pounded the ship from without, John set about causing trouble from within by sabotaging vital systems and freeing the slaves from lockdown and arming them.
