" Death"

 

"How bold and defiant of you, choosing death.But I never thought you were a coward. She told me all about you. You were herworld, but I showed her something better."

 

“Showed who?”

"See the thing is, how could I pull this off all on my own. Green, well thisbody gave me access to the lab, Thorn and Bult were muscle, but my thirdaccomplice. She was there for pleasure and fun. She knew all the codes, hadyour trust, and got me into places I couldn't go."

 

~Who is her third accomplice~

 

(reply any in holodeck)

 

"Come on out sweetie. It's time to say hello.They should know who the great betrayer is."

 

He watched at that moment as Greta Smith came outfrom behind the throne. He saw that her hair had been pulled back into aponytail she was wearing black eye shadow and black lipstick, dressed like afemme fatale. An almost angry, soulless look in her eyes, Greta regarded eachof the prisoners as she walked to the front of the throne. He saw no emotion onher face as she looked at "Maxine" and nodded, not saying a word.

 

~No it can’t be her it just can’t~

 

"Maxine" Beckoned Greta over to her, andGreta sat in her lap, draping an arm behind "Maxine's" neck, and thekissed he on the cheek. 

 

"Good girl Greta, Good girl. Are youready?"

 

~Greta what are you doing~

 

"Ready, definitely. This has been a long timecoming for some. "

 

"Good. See Ire, you chose death, so my deathtrap is this, a fight to the death versus your betrothed. She is playing forkeeps, will you."

 

“I am not going to fight her.”

 

"Greta, be a good dear and kill him."

 

Noddingat "Maxine ", Greta stood and faced Ire. Regarding him for a moment,she smirked, "Ire,poor sweet loyal Ire."

 

Greta then grabbed two daggers from the side of thethrone and began walking towards Ire. As soon as she was a certain distancefrom the throne a forcefield was erected behind her, sepearating Gretafrom "Maxine". In reality separating Ire from "Maxine."

 

At that moment the stasis field aroundIre dropped. He stood up slowly looking Greta as she moved towards him withthe daggers in her hands. 

 

~Stop freaking out and concentrate. You know thisis not Greta. She would not do this you know her~

 

She moved as Greta moved and talked as Greta talkedbut now that he had time to examine her calmly and collectively. He tuned outwhat she was saying and doing and just looked at her. There was something offabout this Greta. There was nothing externally different from this Greta andhis Greta and he would have missed it if he had not calmed down but there was somethingnot right with this Greta. He supposed that the only thing he could thing wasthat there was no soul behind her eyes. He guessed that growing up around AI andholograms had given him an instinct when telling them apart from the reampeople. 

 

~There is always a chance that I am wrong and thatshe is~

 

A pain slammed into his shoulder spinning him sidewaysand dropping him to his knee. He saw one of the dagger imbedded into his upperarm just below his elbow.

 

“IRE THAT’S NOT GRETA, YOU KNOW SHE LOVES YOU”

 

~No not wrong~

 

He snarled at the pain as he stood up and gently slid the dagger out ofhis shoulder. 

 

~Hope it did not damage anything too badly~

 

He looked at "Maxine " and grinned. 

 

“Nicetry Queeny but that’s not my Greta.”
 
Hewatched Greta step closer. He could feel the blood trickling down his arm andhis shoulder hurt like hell. He remembered what the instructors always say thatyou are going to get hurt expect the pain do not let it control you. 

 

~Owthis is going to hurt~

 

“Comeon then. I have some where important to be.”

 

Hereadied him self for her attack with his dagger forward, protecting his woundedshoulder and grinned at her.

 

(ReplyGreta, any)
