Did Chiana or Durka Kill Salis?
Description:
In "Durka Returns", Salis is the Nebari responsible for bringing
back Chiana. He is helped by Durka.
After Chiana escapes, and also after Rygel attempts to kill Durka with
a bomb, Salis is found dead. Who killed him?
With Durka now Rygel's favorite plaything, Durka-on-a-Stick, we may never
know the answer. Maybe John will get really, really curious and convince
Scorpy to trade some Aurora Chair time for wormhole tidbits ... nahhhh.

- She looked guilty!
- John asked Chiana if she killed Salis. Chiana didn't answer,
but she did look off to the side with the expression of a child
hiding the truth.
- Motive, opportunity
- Chiana was desparate to avoid the conditioning awaiting her.
She had escaped, and knew that if she killed Salis the crew of
Moya would have to take her away.
- Durka was still conditioned
- The crew speculated that the bomb broke Durka's conditioning,
but it seems more likely that Salis' death did the trick.
- Durka seemed surprised
- Durka when he heard that Salis was dead could have been interpreted
as surprise. Also, he asked for confirmation.
- Control Collar?
- Chiana's control collar was lying on the floor near
Salis' body. Perhaps she left it as a final taunt?
- Willing to attack
- Chiana was willing to attack Crichton with very little provocation.
She certainly had more than enough provocation from Salis.
- Proven Killer
- In "Nerve", Chiana showed that she could kill an enemy
without even blinking. Salis was certainly her enemy.

- Chiana looked regretful, not guilty!
- The look on Chiana's face could have been regret, not guilt.
Maybe she realized that she'd missed an opportunity to strike
back.
- He's a psychopath!
- Durka is the PK's PK. Cold, ruthless, sadistic: killing came
easily to him, once the conditioning was broken.
- Motive, opportunity
- By eliminating Salis, Durka made sure that he would not be conditioned
again. Also, the crew wasn't watching him after the explosion.
- Chiana was too busy hiding
- After escaping her cell, Chiana was too busy hiding to even
think about attacking Salis. Besides, she just doesn't have the
killer instinct.
- Durka already had a knife
- Where would Chiana find one so quickly? We already know that
Durka had one.
- Look Implies No Help
- Chiana might have looked guilty at John's question because she
saw Salis dying after Durka killed him, but offered no help.
- Control Collar!
- Chiana is too smart to leave her collar next to the body after
killing Salis. Durka was trying to make her look guilty.
- Maybe He Wasn't Cleansed!
- Supposedly, no-one can break a successful conditioning. Perhaps
Durka was never conditioned in the first place! He was simply
biding his time until lack of direct supervision gave him a chance
to escape...
- Not Out of Her Way
- Chiana might kill someone in self-defense, but she won't go
out of her way to kill someone. She would not deliberately seek
Salis out and kill him.
- Confession?
- If Chiana had really killed Salis, wouldn't she have said something
by now?

And the conspiracy theory --
Durka and Chiana killed Salis together!
