Not long. The banquet is readying as we speak. I trust your hungry?

No.

*An embarrassingly loud noise erupts from Scandrea's empty stomach in protest. She keeps a straight face.*

Maybe. Look. I don't understand why you're treating me like this.

Thinking again.

Just enjoy yourself. Eat and be jovial.

I have to get this off my chest. Let's look at this from my perspective for a moment. A member of my team was killed in the firefight with your men. I've been kidnapped- treated surprisingly well, thank you, but still kidnapped- by someone who is trying to destroy everything I hold dear. I've been zatted, stripped twice, and my field notebook is gone.

And you're telling me I should be /happy/ about all this?

*menecingly*

What use would getting angry serve. Could you change anything by becoming violent, do you have some hitherto unknown power that might crush me, set you free and bring back your tauri friends.

No I didn't think so.

*atum smiles again*

So you see, being happy and compliant is the only thing you can do. Otherwise...well an avenue best left uncharted. Don't you agree?

*Raises an eyebrow.*

I wonder exactly how much of our culture you know about.

I'll comply to a point, but happy? No.

*A series of expressions pass over the major's face.*

I can't believe this.

*She takes his hand*

*Atum enters his chambers and disrobing heads toward his sarcophagus*

~~Never shall the tauri humiliate me again. They will know their place. For this their world shall be destroyed. Their people scatterd across the galaxy. None will escape my wrath. All shall know my name and tremble~~

*Atum enters his 'tomb' clutching Major Scandreas notebook*
