She is Aeryn Pip (formerly named Chiana) AND He is James Bond . . .

First the attempt on his life within the centrifuge room, and now this?

Must say that the latest twist and turn my and my friends' lives have taken is a rather . . . interesting one!

"Ah Mr. Bond," I say softly, irony flavoring my every word. "So nice for you to drop in and pay us a visit!"

Quietly I tell Crichton to stop muttering that it was time for things to go against us and shut up for a change! Creator, it isn't like we'd had much HOPE that, everything considered. . . I mean, after all, just HOW many times can "real life" follow a movie script? Event this "half assed" one that Moonraker had? Oh, it had BEEN doing so thus far, but that was going to change sooner or later! Why?

Oh, yes. Everything we'd seen and heard not only to the conversation Sigin had with Mr. Bond (some of it at GUNPOINT until Sigin's cool manners and answers allayed Bond's misgivings) give us peace of mind that life had been following the movie script thus far, but things we'd spied upon from afar also had done that. Trust me, Mr. Bond (good as he's probably reputed to be) has NOTHING on Sigin. Also, trust us, we don't go into a situation half cocked with wild assed assumptions . . . if we can help it, anyway. . . .

. . .

Okay, fair question asked and answered while our erstwhile super spy is still gaping around, looking utterly lost as to what to make of the interior of the TARDIS. . .

. . . .

Oh, and if you hadn't already guessed by my tone of voice there, I've a love/hate relationship over James Bond. Love the way he carried himself in the movie. Smooth and cool as ice. Hated the way he conducted himself on the job! I mean, if anyone REALLY in my line of work had . . .

Nevermind.

Back to your answer!

The thing here is that first thing off whilst some of my friends went off snooping around the grounds looking for our target, detector wand at the ready, Aeryn Pip had volunteered (quiet eagerly) to play the role of Corinne Dufour, Mr. Drax assistant. See, in the movie (spoiler alert) she'd taken a fancy to Mr. Bond and stood aside whilst the spy ransacked Mr. Drax's office safe. Her complacency had been discovered by her employer, and the poor lady got not only fired but KILLED by Mr. Drax's vicious dogs! One of the more haunting scenes to me, actually, from that movie truth be told.

Chiana had provided the magical illusion (she'd been so eager to use her new magical powers), and Aeryn Pip took her place.

. . .

And from the rather satisfied smirk on her gray lips (the illusion just faded, leaving Bond now staring open mouthed in shock at HER), she'd rather enjoyed being one of James Bond's girls.

It was her choice and they're both consenting adults, Aeryn Pip and Bond. Shan't scold them over "recreating" and what not. Both got what they wanted. Bond doesn't give anything more than brief . . . dalliances (long term commitments are bad juju in his line of work) and the Nebari girl wanted nothing more from him than a . . . . break in a long fast (as it were).

...

Yeah, whatever. What did you really expect? She is Aeryn Pip (formerly named Chiana) AND He is James Bond.

Yes, but why are they here inside the TARDIS? Well, things had departed from the script before we'd planned.

If things had stayed on course, we'd have replaced Aeryn Pip with Walker when Bond had left her sight. Walker would have played Defour's part where after Bond left in that old style car. Oh, her accent would have been too rough (she cannot drop it except under extreme stress . . . and that only leaves the gutter punk accent of London sector) so she'd only nod and smile (or sneer) defiantly at whatever Drax said, but still she'd run. We would pick her up in the TARDIS, leaving a passable fake corpse to satisfy Drax and his cronies that the dogs had gotten her....

Then again . . . I keep having visions on what Walker would ACTUALLY have done whilst playing her part. Some of those visions I have are of her kneeing (rather brutally) Drax in the groin before running off, surprising the HELL out of him (rather painfully). Other visions have her drawing her claws and cutting vicious doggies to ribbons. . . .

Honestly, while Walker has mellowed somewhat whilst on Terra Prime she's . . . . still deadly dangerous if angered. No, she's not a vicious killer without remorse, but sometimes . . .

Well, that's not to be, considering that Mr. Bond is now HERE in the TARDIS and alarms are going off all over the place!!

"Thank you for doing your part for interstellar relationships," Aeryn Pip purrs at Bond (who's now realizing his latest "conquest" not only isn't human, but considers HIM her conquest).

Well, on one hand it was and another . . .

Ah hell, nevermind that!

"What the bloody hell?!" he finally sputters, managing that much. "What's going ON here?"

Well, you gotta admit that even old Super Spy can be taken aback if enough insanity comes his way! Besides, that's a pretty good question, really. What DID go wrong to cause this?

The one who answers that one happens to be the one who caused a flurry of metallic "clanging" sounds, followed by a huge CRASH as something large goes through a wall.

"Sorry we're late," she mutters as she and the others follow in through the door behind her. "Ran into Jaws."

She draws up short, frowning slightly when her eyes fall upon Bond.

"Jaws is here?" Bond blinks. "Why?"

1. "Drax appears to have hired him early," she says softly. "Why? Not sure but not only was Dr. Holly Goodhead his latest victim . . ."
