itle: Invasion (1/1) Author: Diadem Category: V, H, MSR?? Rating: PG Spoilers: Anyone else just wishing that M&S had finally got it together on the show, so we had to include a spoiler for it? Or is it just me? Probably just me, but that was my way of saying that there are no spoilers! Unless you are really sharp, and pick up on a teeny little mytharc one that is almost not there at all. Feedback: Of course! Diadem@cwcom.net Archive: Gossamer's fine, anywhere else please let me know first. Disclaimer: I didn't name them. You know who they are, but I didn't name them. Oh, OK, they belong to CC, 10;13 and FOX. I'm so weak. Notes: Give it a chance! It's short! Please! Summary: Mulder and Scully halt the invasion Invasion (1/1) by Diadem Incoming Please stand by for transmission 0204 requesting consultation 0001 Go ahead 0204 What news from planet "earth?" 0204 We have arrived, Commander We are through the outer layers of atmosphere, and we are coming up to the planitary centre, as you advised 0001 Do you still have the primitive images? 0204 We do, Commander 0001 You will find the two natives somewhere in the planitary centre 0204 Have the co-ordinates been fixed yet Commander? 0001 We are working on it. We have narrowed the area to fourteen square earth-inches, located at co-ordinates 2223QQ774, ZX920-8B. As soon as we have a more precise specification you will be informed 0204 Thank you Commander. We are coming up on the co-ordinates now. Although our images are grainy, they appear to depict the natives we have in sight 0001 I apologise for only providing you with two dimensions, officer. I understand the problems 0204 I do not have much experience with identifying alien lifeforms, as you know, Commander, but these may well be our subjects 0001 Our predecessors have certainly made our mission simpler with their technology 0204 They are within range, Commander 0001 Then bring them aboard, officer 0204 0001 Is there a problem, officer? 0204 We seem to be witnessing some unprecidented behaviour, Commander 0001 But we have studied our subjects for many earth- years, officer. Have you not been studying their behavioural patterns? 0204 I know the documented templates by heart, Commander, but I have never witnessed or seen records of anything that comes close to what I am now witnessing 0001 You are sure you have located the correct natives? 0204 Certain, Commander. One with copper head-hair, one with brown. Both in suits with their identifying tokens on their outer garments 0001 Then we have nothing to fear. Bring them in 0204 Commander, I am not sure that would be a sensible course of action. This new turn of events could translate to danger for us and our race 0001 But you know the settlers cannot move in until our subjects are removed 0204 I am aware of that fact, Commander 0001 The mother ship is more than prepared for a confrontation 0204 I am not sure this would be classified as a confrontation, Commander 0001 Well, what would you describe it as? 0204 An engagement of our subjects' nourishment- orifices, Commander. 0001 Are you sure, officer? This has never been documented before by our scientists, although we have travelled through many systems 0204 I am aware of that, Commander 0001 This new information has cast a predicament on to me. It would seem that we have made an important discovery about this planet just in time 0204 Should I bring them aboard, Commander? 0001 Negative, officer. It seems you have saved our race from a lifetime of dictatorship over a race of alien freaks. Good work, officer. You will be admirably rewarded for this 0204 Thank you Commander. Permission to return to mother ship? 0001 Permission granted, officer End I am severely afflicted with these little ideas that get into my head and won't go away. And my mousepad has broken.
