“What are you humming, Sir?” Braca was stunned to see his master, Scorpius, acting, um, well, happy, and he was humming something alien to his ears.
“Never mind that, why are you here?” Scorpius didn’t want to deal with Braca at that moment. And the tune, the damned tune – he couldn’t explain it to himself. And now Braca heard him humming. As much as he trusted Braca, his right hand man, Braca was a Peacekeeper through and through, and could also be trusted to take any advantage.
“Special Forces Commander Crais wants to see you immediately…” Commander Crais interrupted Braca before he could finish. “You have one hundred microts to meet me in my office!”
“Yes, Madam” Scorpius replied.
Crais turned on her heel and marched out.
“Braca, meet me at her office with my books.” Scorpius sighed, he knew it wasn’t going to be pleasant. He had so little to show for their investment in his wormhole project.
------------------
“Commander Scorpius, we have made a significant investment in your research and have nothing to show for it. Not only are we no closer to attaining the wormhole technology you have promised us, but we have lost valuable personal and time. We could have been improving our existing technology to better defend against the Scarrans as well as making alliances. Instead, we have lost ground, fallen behind in our defenses, and missed opportunities with other systems. This cannot continue. You have one monen to show meaningful results. In the mean time, I am diverting some of the funds to improve our weakening defenses.
“Dismissed.” Commander Crais stood up and Scorpius left the office.
*Ha ha ha. I thought I’d never see the day when you, the mighty Scorpius, would be humiliated by anyone* The recently dead Talyn John guffawed
*Damn you Crichton! I have enough to contend with Crais taking over my office and the project in shambles. I don’t need your snide remarks. I’m not interested in hearing anything you have to say unless it is the equations I seek.* Scorpius felt his rods begin to over heat.
*Now you-all know I can’t do that.* Talyn John drawled.
The once proud and confident Scorpius, felt beaten. * Damn you John! You have the equations, it would be such a simple thing to give them too me.*
PI John replaced Talyn John and was sillouted by an exploding nuclear bomb. * You want to destroy the universe, Scorpy. I can’t let you do that.*
*No, no! The Scarrans will destroy us. They won’t stop with the Sebaceans, they will destroy all other species. And mark my words, they will destroy your pitiful home, Earth.*
*You’ve bought into that lie too? My, my, my, I thought you were too smart to get taken by your own propoganda! >SNERK< * PI John clutched his stomach, laughing.
*LIE! It’s not a lie. I’ve shown you how the Scarrans are. Your pathetic world would be no match. None!*
*Yeah, yeah. You bared your soul to me Scorpy. Well, I don’t see the other side of the equation, so I ain’t buying it. That little piece of melodrama is not proof. Not for me. * PI John left.
---------------------------------
A dejected Scorpius entered his quarters to be enveloped by Zavtig. She hugged him and lifted him as if he had no weight at all and kissed him fully. There were sparks, there was heat, there was PI John humming the tune Scorpius hummed earlier. PI John put words to the Tango:
She touched your lips and all at once the sparks went flying
Your devil lips that know so well the art of lying
And though she sees the danger still the flames grow higher
She must surrender to your kiss of fire.
Just like a torch you set the soul within her burning
She must go on along the road, there’s no returning
And though it burns her and it turns her into ashes
Her whole world crashes without your kiss of fire.
She can't resist you, what good is there in trying
What good is there denying, you're all that she desires
Since first she kissed you, her heart was yours completely
If she’s a slave, then it's a slave, she wants to be...
Don't pity her, don't pity her
Give her your lips, the lips you only let her borrow
Love her tonight, devil take tomorrow
She knows that she must have your kiss although it kills her
Though it consumes her, your kiss of fire
She know that she must have your kiss although it kills her
Though it consumes her your kiss of fire.
Zavtig was radiant, Zavtig glowed, Scorpius succumbed.
Note: There really is a tango called “Kiss of Fire” by l. Allen & R. Hill, which I’ve adapted slightly for this ficlet.
