You know how much I love this, right? So, a few things I didn't mention before:
"Wait," Crichton interrupted, saving the Netsek from Aeryn's stare. "Are you saying I got hit with a-- a gullibility gun?"
"Yes, exactly!" came the stereo answer.
"Hm." He paused in thought. "Okay, I can buy that."
God, I love this, the incredulity and then acceptance, perfect for someone under the influence of gullibility.
You've created a wonderful (and kinda scary) society with the Netseks and their division of personality into two bodies. It's great that it's Reason that gets locked up and Impulse that rules the day, and Chiana's reaction to that is perfect. Even though it's almost the reverse of the Nebari, it's the same thing and she's mature enough to see that now (I think early on she wouldn't have been so opposed to reason being put behind bars).
And the section at the end, with the little grey aliens made me laugh and laugh. Poor Crichton, even when he really does get abducted by aliens, no one will believe him.
