Intergalactic kidnappers

‘Fardahr-355, I ordered you to bring ONE earthling woman to me…’

‘Yes, milord.’

‘I am seeing TWO earthling women…’

‘Yes, milord. The one you ordered me to capture is the one wearing red. Katyna Mellvianova, private secretary to the Prime-Minister of the Earth Coalition, milord.’

‘And the other one? Why did you bring her?’

‘I had to… She’s even more important to our cause than the prime-minister’ secretary!’

‘…?’

‘She’s a… what’s the earthling term? A ‘zombie’!’

‘A what?’

‘An undead, or walking dead, someone who… to all legal effects and purposes is dead!’

‘Most members of the Earth’ Special Forces are, that’s the way they protect their families from my Special Forces! What’s so peculiar about this one?’

‘You see, milord, the bioborg-clone was prepared after months of secret surveillance on Katyna. It was a perfect replica! Voice, gesture, mannerisms, outward feel… you name it, it had copied it to the letter! We also knew that Katyna is a lesbian and enjoyed her few weekends ‘off’ in secluded beaches with one or two other earthling girls as her ‘hired company’, she’s wise enough to not have romantic relationships… So me and my team got prepared; inviso-shield ‘on’, sensors-scrambler ‘on’, stealth-mode ‘activated’ and the girl had no chance! But then the other one came from inside the house-by-the-sea with a drink she had prepared for Katyna…’

‘And…?’

‘Please, milord, try to guess what happened then!’

‘I have no time for your games, Fardahr-355!’

‘Please…?’

‘(…) Alright, obviously the bioborg had a malfunction and you had to bring her along!’

‘It’s… almost correct, milord. The bioborg did have a malfunction, but it was because she made it have it, and we had to bring her with us because of how she did it!’

‘And what she did to the bioborg?’

‘She grabbed its hand.’

‘What?’

‘She grabbed its hand… Well, first she frowned, and then she threw the glass with the drink away and over her left shoulder and extended her right hand to the bioborg. And when it grabbed her hand… Sparks! Smoke! Whizzing sounds! And, the bioborg lost its human appearance and stopped functioning… And then she looked straight at me!’

‘A psiontech? Really?’

‘Yes… Officially speaking her name is Fawn Auber and she died when she was 3, probably when her talents were discovered. We know nothing of her life aside this, and that’s because she told us it. But she’s a psiontech. She told me that she had already alerted the security issue of the other girl but, if we took her with Katyna, she’ll direct them to the other side of that island.’

‘She’s romantically involved with Katyna?’

‘As far as we know, it’s one-sided… Katyna is a bit of a slut…’

‘NO, SHE’S NOT.’

‘Who said that?’

‘WHO DO YOU THINK? THE STANDARD PROCEDURE FOR YOU GUYS, WHEN YOU GRAB A VALUABLE PRISONER WHO MAY HAVE INFORMATION THAT YOU WANT, IS TO PUT HIM OR HER IN ONE OF THESE TUBES AND SCAN HIM OR HER!’

‘And you’re a psiontech, you used it to overtake the ship… congratulations on your…’

‘IF I WANTED TO CAPTURE YOU, GENERAL LOARDAN-21, I WOULDN’T REVEAL MYSELF UNTIL I WAS SURE THAT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO STOP ME. THAT IS NOT THE CASE… CHECK IT.’

‘Appareeeeeeeently… it’s not. Then why did you…?’

‘THIS WHOLE MISSION HAS ONLY ONE GOAL; TO MAKE YOU TAKE THE CALL.’

‘What call…?’

‘Milord, the earthlings are trying to establish communication with us! It’s their Prime-Minister!’

‘What?’

‘UNLIKE THE FOOL YOU FOLLOW, YOU ARE A REASONABLE PERSON, GENERAL, AND SO IS MADAME PRIME-MINISTER. TAKE THE CALL, PLEASE.’

‘Or you will do it for me?’

‘NO, I’LL JUST FLY THIS THING INTO THE NEAREST SUN!!!!’

‘You…!!!!’

‘Milord?’

‘(…?) Alright! Establish communication! But its better be good!’

‘WE REVEALED TO YOU, THE COMMANDER OF THE EMPIRE’S FORCES, THE NAME OF A PSIONTEC… THE WHOLE DEAL INCLUDING FAMILY, LOVE INTEREST AND SUCH. AND YOU HAVE ME AND MY KATYNA IN YOUR CLUTCHES!’

‘Yes, but if I or any of my men try anything…’

‘I’ll fry the bastards with the security-bots’ lasers, for starters!’
