Double Teaming...

"Drad!" Chiana coos happily when I nod yes.

. . .

Must be some new kind of city speak word not included in the material we'd pirated away to study before coming down here. Oh, the meaning comes through like anything else since earlier when the . . . phenomon started up (has started quiet a stir in this otherwise burnt out city. Even started up some of the more fanatical street preachers, shouting out that "The End" was near.

Being that I and the others are more concerned with the here and now (our approaching, unwanted demise), the street preachers can go hang themselves for all I care! We're busy!

Though . . . I've got to admit there is something almost . . . mystical about this "Chiana". Something familiar, really. Something that makes the hair on the back of one's neck stand up on end...

Well, to work. Not sure I'm happy about a total stranger getting into the mix, but I'll go along with Roy's now altered plan. Maybe he's using her as an ends to a means . . .

Quickly, we go over the basic plan that Roy had passed along over the vid-phone. It's a modified version of the same plan I had originally come up with Roy, so in that I know what to do.

Turns out that odd twitchs at the start aside, this woman is VERY good at . . . basically what I do as well. Physically, she's a petite, attractive human with tanned skin, sky blue eyes, and light blond hair. One of her most notable features (actually a rather appealing feature, I figure by the way Sebastian reacts) is her strange . . . alien body language, which tends to be very fluid and sensuous!

Moreso than mine, damnit!

Sweep this R. S. Sebastian right off his feet, we do! Or rather . . . this "Chiana" does. Sebastian's hardly paying me any attention at ALL!

...

I'm a Replicant only with a few years to live and only recently coming into my own emotional responses. Is this what they call jealousy?

Well, whatever. She's gotten us in so I can't complain . . . not being the center of attention. Not . . . much anyway.

Damn, it's like I've met this woman before...

Chiana

Things are looking like they're going exactly as planned. That should have been a dead giveaway, right then and there. . .

1. So, when I walk through the door with the others and the TARDIS is standing right in the atrium of this rather run down place . . .
