h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*guards step out on to Nerve Centre floor*

*Annat follows warily*

*this part of the centre is more a wide corridor with a gradual turning right*

*The left has large windows andthe people at various consoles - notably not wearing any type of uniform - glance at Annat quickly before returning to stations working faster*

*notes the reaction of fear in the workers*

*glances out of a window*

*Space*

*carries on walking down the corridor*

*stops and leans over a worker's shoulder to study a computer screen*

*worker winces and the screen shows nothing but general running duties*

*carries on down the corridor*

I guess these were Gandoah's slaves....

MIASMA: ~They're a mixed bunch.~

*grimaces*

Where are you Miasma? Show yourself.

*foot steps echo down as he enters*

*pauses then steps forward*

MIASMA: ~That's new.~

*turns Annat's chin to look at scar with a cold hand*

*pushes the hand away*

*nods*

Woman trouble...

Why did you bring her here?

*pulls backhood to reveal his (almost) mirrored face*


*smiles* MIASMA: ~Well you did send her after me.~

*stares into his twin's eyes, trying to supress a shudder*

I don't send her anywhere. And she doesn't remember being brought here.

*leans closer*

MIASMA: ~She wouldn't. But then you presume so much.~

*smiles*

Why do I have to presume. I don't need telepathy to read my own mind.

*steps back, a hand on his lightsaber hilt*

MIAMSA: ~Don't waste your time, my brother. Walk with me.~

*scowls*

I assume you can speak. Your voice in my head is beginning to grate.
