Why am I imagining the "help" being a NCIS Gibbs moment? Essensially commanding Darius that he was not going to give up and that he wasn't going to die? LOL Symon would probably do something weird like that LOL.

A Gibbs headslap can cure most anything....except DiNozzo.

Next time, on "As Aukake Turns", will Darius recover from his coma ? Stay tuned!

Yanno, it's kinda amusing but "Richard" 's more beastly physique makes me wonder if his kind might actually be more of a lower caste on their world, despite his actual position. Then again, there is something to be said about the one from a "lower" background who suddenly has the ability to lord over his "greater" as he almost wishes... something that doesn't lead to the best situations.

Just a bit of an idle thought I couldn't help but have that seems like it could make a nice twist, the overachieving "brute" that actually manage to get into a position of power, and couldn't restrain from abusing said position when he finally did.

Though otoh, if I recall well I think it's already been stated that his kind are actually the upper-caste of their societies.

... and through said abuse of power ends up losing it... I hope.
