trans_channel | [Locked to Tom/Iniss]

you know, I don't like computer.

Have you checked with med-bay, I hear they can give pills for insanity now.

You better hope we don't run into each other, Iniss.

I have to admit that if I run into you, I'm running in the other direction and asking the ship for protection.

You are more terrifying than Visser Three.

Is that some kind of joke?

I'm afraid I don't have much of a sense of humor.

I really would suggest it.

I'll take that as a compliment then.

That fact that you're terrifying and insane? It takes all sorts, doesn't it.

Stay away from me.

The fact that you're scared to death of me.

But I'm curious, just what makes you think I'm scarier and crazier than a psychotic murderer?

Because you're a psychopath who thinks it's a good idea to carry a Klingon battle-axe around in your pocket. That's why.

I don't go around enslaving and killing innocent people. And I don't eat my enemies as a means of execution. I have to wonder why you think carrying around a bat'leth is crazier than doing that.

I didn't say you were as NASTY as he was, I just said you were as SCARY and CRAZY. I'm frankly more terrified that you're RATIONALLY crazy than just liable to turn and eat the person closest to you.

Yeah, I guess being a complete psychopath is pretty normal for your species.

It doesn't seem that abnormal for you species either.

Abnormal enough that I'm not more terrified of someone who doesn't kill and eat people over someone who does.

What's more scary? Something that might kill you if you don't get out of the way, or something that's crazy enough to hunt down you specifically just to kill?

Visser Three hunted me down. He hunted Elfangor down. And it wasn't because he wanted to chat with us.

Then occasionally he's sane enough to target someone deliberately.

Why did he hunt you down?

Wouldn't you like to know.

I wouldn't have asked if I didn't. He's normally not that smart.

Oh, are you two buddies or something?

That creature doesn't have friends, he has breakfast and minions, occasionally the two terms are synonymous with each other.

So the whole eating thing wasn't just a one time thing?

No. No it wasn't.

Were you there when he

Iniss, I am not hunting you down to kill you. If he ever shows up then you'll know what it looks like when I do.

I wasn't. But my host was, so I know what happened.

I think weapons probably has a rocket launcher, if you could get into a snipping position...

It wasn't quick, was it? Was he surrounded?

I'm not going to hurt Tom, not unless you make me. And I'm not going to kill him.

It was quick. He was surrounded, but he died on his feet with typical Andalite arrogance. He fought.

I meant the morphing terror.

...Thank you.

The morphing terror?

You're welcome.

Visser Three, if he shows up I think the best tactic would be rocket launchers and a sniping position.

You're probably right.

You know, I can almost forget that you've taken all control away from Tom.

If you come out I promise we won't hurt you. We'll figure something out for you. Just don't do this to him.

Don't take any chances, if he morphs he's going to be mad as hell and probably kill anyone he can get whatever freakish appendages he has at that moment on.

I'm not sure how to respond to that without making you angry at me.

Look. How about a deal, you stop trying to kill me, and as soon as the synthetic hosts are...made, I'll leave him.

I know.

If you turn yourself over now you won't be hurt. Please. I'm not trying to kill you. I just want Tom free. That's what we all want.

If I turn myself over now, you'll put me in a box and I'll get to stay there until whenever the synthetic hosts are done. And while you and your friends might promise not to hurt me, do you speak for the rest of the ship, or would I find myself, like my brother yeerk, locked in stasis after a sham of a trial to make you all feel better about yourself?

I know what you want. I know what Jake wants. I'm trying to work out a solution that gives all what we want.

No one will hurt you.

You don't want to be a prisoner but you've made Tom into one inside his own body. We'll give you what you want but there's no reason for Tom to suffer any longer.

You have a great deal of faith in you species, I lack that.

Tom can see, and hear. He can even interact with the world if I wish to let him, and if you people will stop trying to kill me, I would be willing to allow that.

This is the best solution.

No one will hurt you because I'll beat up anyone who comes near you.

Tom can't talk to his brother or anyone else. He has to watch while you talk to him. He can't do anything. Tell me, just how many times has he been able to interact with the world while you've been inside his head?

Before or after the ship?

I would be willing to allow that. I am willing to share... custody of this body, for lack of a better term, until such a time as a better solution presents itself.

While you're in stasis waiting for a synthetic body or whatever. I'll make sure you aren't hurt.

How will we know it's Tom?

I can't believe I'm offering this, But I'll speak to Dani. Or Allen. I'm sure they can think of something to indicate it.

Alright.

Is this an acceptable solution?

Ask Tom and his brother.

You already know the answer. Jake wants it all, not what I can offer for the moment.

Then ask Tom.

Tom would like to talk to his brother. He thinks it's acceptable.

Well I should be hearing that from Tom himself soon. Just hold up your end of the bargain, I'll be asking Allen and Dani if you've talked with them about it.

I'll speak to them as soon as I can.
