Curiosity kills

[force_captain]

[Private to Scorpius]

[She's so pleased, she's purring. And not just in her speech. She's actually purring softly with every breath.]

Tell me you heard.

[Private to Crichton]

Well, well, well. What an intriguing development.

[He grins back, wide and happy in his own way]

As are you, Catra.

Tell me, what excites you most about this pairing?

[Private]

[force_captain]

Being invaluable, of course.

[Private]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

You are that already without being paired to John.

[Private]

[force_captain]

Such a silver tongue, but I prefer having concrete insurance of such things. You understand.

[Private]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

I do. Purpose is its own reward at times.

[Private]

[force_captain]

[Snerk. Oh yeah. Sure it is, Scorpy.]

Only if you're willing to settle, dearie. I never am.

[Private]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

I, on the other hand, have learned to be content with the things I set my mind to. I have no desire for power or control, except to where I need these to get me what I want.

[Private]

[force_captain]

What do you want? And I don't mean your immediate desires. What is your over arching goal in life?

[Private]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

To render the Scarran army effectively extinct. To kill every commander in charge of a Scarran vessel.
