Seeking the Blood Queen

The private communicator in her pocket beeped, and she pulled it out to look at it. The flashing green light indicated that the message was from Theia. Curious about why the AI might be trying to contact her, she tapped the button on the device's side to play it.

I'm with Zerna, the real one. He told me that the first time he kissed you was while you were chasing Bell after he stole Zerna's plans for the IFA cannons. Also, he has a message for you. There was a pause, and then the added message in his voice, "Please come home, I'll make you some fresh tea."

For a moment, she wasn't sure she trusted the message, but none of the clones had known about that one moment when he'd finally returned her affection. Still, she thought there was a chance that the message was not genuine and decided not to reply to it, just in case Theia had somehow been compromised.

"Just don't call me when your crazy doctor friend finds out" She muttered "I understand non-lethal, and I understand talking someone down, but if she goes after you, and I have a solution, I'm not promising to not take it" She stated matter of factly
"If she finds out, I doubt even you could do anything to stop it. And look... just don't kill the woman. Stun her... wound her... whatever it takes to knock out the threat, but don't kill her. She has children, and I won't leave them without a mother, no matter what she did."

"you know, if one of me ever comes through the electric light show in the sky? it better be from another universe where it's not just more of the same played out differently, she can be a Conn officer... for the Imperium and not know anyone I do.. that way I can shoot her without someone complaining" She tightened the phaser holster and moved to the back of the shuttle then touched her hand to the back of her ear, where a 'comm control panel' of sorts was magnetically affixed behind her ear to aide in control of the cochlear implant "We're ready when you are, count down to cycling the cloak"

"Scarlett... we can barely handle one of you. If another one shows up, you go right ahead and shoot her." The beeping that signified another incoming call from Zerna echoed in her ear and she ignored it for a moment, waiting until they'd cycled the cloak and exited the shuttle to acknowledge it. "He's calling me again... I swear, the man lives to annoy me..."

[Starts on this page at post #77, continues to last page]

Zerna had not closed the channel, suggesting that he might have further input on the mission. At least, she hoped any further comments from him would be about the mission. She gave Scarlett an unamused look, shaking her head slightly. "Don't ask because I'm not sharing... other than he thinks we can get her without a fight. He sent her a message... but if she does decide to attack us, don't hesitate to defend yourself. Anyway... I think we can draw her out if we can find an open space... somewhere where you can get high enough to stun her or put an arrow in her leg and not have to worry about hitting me..."

"They're not arrows, but thanks" She shrugged atleast someone realized it resembled a crossbow for once "If there's another one of me, I hope to god she doesn't end up with the same damn boyfriends over and over again, I'd like to think I have some diversity" She flatly stated before thinking about it for a moment "actually... I think I've killed all my boyfriends..." with that she tapped at her interface device behind her ear again "Ariia go ahead and link our comms, I'd rather be as 'hands free' as possible"

"And people think I'm dangerous," Clio muttered to herself. At least she didn't have to worry about Scarlett telling her boyfriends any secrets if she was just going to kill them anyway. She shrugged a little, giving the crossbow lookalike another look. "Well, whatever it shoots. But I'm serious, try to aim for wounding. Maiming, even. We can fix that... can't fix it if we kill her by mistake." She looked around the area they were standing in. "I don't want to be too close to the building... just in case there's someone in there we don't know about."

"The eagle eye network has yet to be wrong..." She said quietly as she started to strafe away to hug cover "Just make up your mind on the play before we get much closer... and it's part of the job description, my type of assignments require me to exist, and then not exist, and the not existing includes people, pets, or things that tie to the identity, not just the 'person' being shed, can't attach feelings to something that's temporary or you wouldn't be able to do what needs to be done"

"Oh, I'm familiar with the process. It's one reason why I don't do that work anymore. I don't have the ability to disconnect from people like that... not like you can. And..." She gave the area another quick look and then pointed at a tall tree near the edge of the clearing. "Think you can climb that? It's got enough leaves for concealment, but you'll be able to see me and anyone coming toward me."

She raised an eyebrow at Clio's new plan but sized up the tree anyway, and without saying a word ran full tilt to the tree, kicking off the base, gripping the size of a large branch some 15 feet up and swinging her body around it with the carried momentum to land on it as silent as a cat "Probably...." She replied with a slight smirk

"...I used to be able to do that." Clio laughed a little. She probably still could get into the tree as easily as Scarlett had, but secretly she was glad she wasn't the one taking the risk of falling back out of the tree. "I'm going to try something... because I think I know why our scans haven't pinpointed her exactly yet. I told you she's a time traveler... didn't tell you who she is. You could probably guess by now, given her strange behavior toward Zerna and his desire not to kill her, but... well. Let's just say I know her pretty well, and if I'm right she's got an implant in her neck, just below the base of her skull. I don't know how it works, mind you, but I know it'll mess with scans." Without explaining what she was doing, she turned off the theta wave blocker behind her ear. She would be risking a psionic attack, but if it would help them find the Blood Queen... it was worth it. She was quiet for a few moments, 'listening' for an intelligent presence other than Scarlett. "She's here all right. And nearby... but all I'm picking up is passive energy."

"Everything is hackable... and every block is penetrable... that's why I carry a knife around, don't think I wont cut this thing out of my head in half a second" She retorted "if I had to guess it was thermals and CO2 analysis that pin-pointed her location here but that's why it wasn't more specific than inside the building somewhere"

"Depending on the style of theta wave blocker she's wearing, trying to push past it might cause a pressure build-up in her brain that could be fatal. I'm not willing to risk that, not out here. I don't think she's in the building anymore... hard to tell, but I'm not sensing any interference from the concrete in the walls."

"You psionics and your mystic mumbo-jumbo.." She complained, reaching behind her back and flipping the 'crossbow' off her back and into her hands, two arms sprang out on the sides giving it the crossbow like look, with two little lights at each point flashing slightly, a tiny screen near the center of the weapon lit up "thermals give a possible target around the far side of that wall" She said softly

"Sorry. I know it doesn't make much sense to non-psionics... I just don't know how to 'translate' it. It's really hard to explain." She kept her voice low, below normal volume but loud enough that anyone nearby would hear if they were listening. Moving quietly, she gradually made her way to the building and started following the wall to where the thermal reading had come from. "I'd rather not hurt her if we don't have to. But if it looks like I'm in any sort of trouble, take the shot."

"There was ever any debate?" Scarlett asked in an amused tone "And the last Psionic I met I shot after they tried to throw a shuttle at me... no offense"
