The Never Ending Quest - Episode 43502

Must say the guy can REALLY take it on the chin!!

Yes, if anything else Jaws could take a beating if nothing else could be said about him. He'd really been able to give Bond a run for his money even IF in the movie called Moonraker he'd come across as comic relief in all but one scene...

For what ever reason, he'd been able to survive the rather flurry of jabs to his jaw that Inquirer gave him when he'd stumbled across them. He had been in route to finish off Bond (Drax's orders) just in case Drax's other flunky, Chang, failed in the task.

Chang indeed had failed, unable to track Bond and Aeryn Pip when they'd fled to the TARDIS (quiet the accomplishment given that it was almost like herding cats for the young Nebari at some points). Jaws had arrived too late to stop Bond's escape, but he'd come across the Doctor and the others (some who were rather . . . odd looking but the giant put that aside for later) and attempted to stop them from leaving. Attempted and gotten thrown about rather harshly by Inquirer when it became apparent to the others that more gentle measures seemed to utterly be useless against this Bond villain. Only reason he'd not been phasored unconscious was that he'd grappled with Inquirer near the end, making such matters too tricky to do safely.

Must say the mess left behind by that struggle makes it look like a bomb had gone off! Indeed, that is what Mr. Drax and the others think HAD gone off when they find Jaws sprawled out on the lawn, some distance away from where he'd been knocked through the wall onto the grounds below. That is why they dismiss the mumbled ramblings Jaws gives of foxed tailed children and this woman with a gem in the forehead and the hellacious right hook having caused it, putting it down as a dream brought on by taking the full brunt of the explosion. That Jaws had not only survived, but with hardly more than a few VERY interesting bruises both impressed (and awed) Mr. Drax enough that he's generous. Not only will Jaws stay employed by Mr. Drax, but his (and his new girlfriend) shall continue to have a seat on the ride up to the space station. . . .

After the superb job Jaws had done him up until now, that was the least Mr. Drax could do!

That and Jaws had begun to . . .frighten Mr. Drax more than a little bit now. After surviving this, something he puts off as some kind of desperate (and rather LOW) means that Bond had used to escape capture, Mr. Drax definitely was revising the potential benefit towards the genetic future for his (Drax's) plans for a new "master race".

That or perhaps not. After all, he HAD chosen that woman who just didn't meet Drax's standards for "genetic purity". Girl was not only too short (if with a nice figure), but needed glasses. Yes, too "damaged" to meet Mr. Drax's standards.

Perhaps after this was all done IF Jaws objected a laser bolt to the back of the head would be in order. Must move VERY carefully on this man... In whatever ways they were to proceed, indeed!

With those thoughts in mind, he dismissed Bond's escape as being only annoying BUT a sign that it was now the time to act before MORE could go wrong.

Yes, after he's grand speech he was going to rather enjoy thrusting this betraying b*tch, "DeSilk" out the airlock!

....

So typical, Mr. Drax is as Bond villain. Instead of doing the simple and logical thing and just "capping" his opponents then and there, he had to take elaborate means of killing them.

....

Then again, reviewing last reports on gene pools and such and reviewing just what "DeSilk" could contribute (quiet a bit, which is why she'd been allowed into this project in the first place despite this now rather uncharacteristic betrayal) . . . Drax decides that perhaps . . . she could still be of use. . .

She WAS too valuable (still) to just chuck out the airlock . . . which is exactly why that Key Component had been place within her. It hadn't been expected that enough of the old "Fred" morality would come to the fore to force Miranda to do the "right thing". The expectation was that Miranda would have just stayed complacent, but still the Demons had made contingency plans. Genetic contributions that she could give could (and DID) convince Mr. Drax to spare her life if something . . . out of character should happen. . .

Well, anyway, that all aside it's now for the endgame.

Instead of being going down to South America to launch his way up into space, Mr. Drax opts for using his secret launch facilities HERE on his lands.

Won't tell you what kind of nightmare that causes some air controllers . . . right before the radar cloaking system on the shuttles engaged . . .

....

What? You expect that the boys down at NORAD, Moscow, and NASA wouldn't have noticed all those shuttles in orbit, converging on one particular spot? Would have spoiled things, after all that time and effort putting a radar invisible space station into orbit, don't you think?

. . . .

Well, one "UFO" does register. . . .

It's a "keepsake" of Inquirer's. That one Prowler fighter ship that she'd taken from Scorpy awhile ago, on loan to Crichton (with a promise to return it without a scratch) will sortie out to crisp any of those stupid nerve gas globes Drax's space station manages to send out. Just a precaution . . . in case the Doctor and the others fail in their next move . . .

But before that . . .

  1. "Did he just actually shout 'Yeeha'?" Bond asks the others, not believing it. "Of ALL the television shows you aliens intercepted, he chose to become a fan of . . .of American Cowboy Westerns?"
