He lives in the shadows. He feeds on fear. He thrives in destruction. Out of the darkness he comes, evil incarnate loosed upon the world.

*EvilSoul steps out of the darkness with a grin on his face. He is dressed head to toe in the same garments as his proverbial twin, down to the bow and quiver strapped across his back. The only visible diference is his eyes. He can see his reflection in the steel wall, and his black eyes shine like obsidian. He chuckles softly and pulls a small case out of his pocket. Opening the lid, he pulls out a contact lens and expertley places it over his left pupil. He repeats the task for his right eye, and replaces the case. Smiling at his reflection in the steel wall, he laughs aloud as hazel eyes sparkle back at him.*

"Let's play!"

JAZAF

Jazaf leans on a nearby wall for support. A sudden sharp instant of pain coursed through his left leg. Jazaf looks down to find his leg bleeding.'When in the nine spheres of hell did that happen!!' Then he remembers in a flash, 'Oh yeah, I got shot there.'

Stumbling over to a nearby Intercom Jazaf speaks into it:'Uh, Doc? I just realized I've been shot and uh.....could you come help me? Cause I doubt I have the strength to make it back.' Jazaf pauses a bit,'and if you need to find me just follow the trail of blood..I seem to have lost a bit.' With that, Jazaf passes out.

* Bride5 and Bride6 hide some kissies in their rooms, to keep them safe from any kissie-killers. They begin to train the kissies to run in circles and jump through hoops. An anime television show is already in the works. *

* Meanwhile, TheRealMe groans as he lay in a bed in the Infirmary. He is having some weird, dark dream about kissies and the Dark Soul. Briefly, TheRealMe wonders if this Dark Soul is that same sinister entity that secretly came aboard the Sereni-Tree at the end of Mai-Quest. Then he rolls over and forgets it all, switching to a pleasant dream about visiting his family for the 4th of July. TheRealMe will recover from his injuries in about a week. *

*EvilSoul slowly makes his way past the lounging crew of the SereniTREE and up the stairs to the bridge. After ensuring that he is alone, he proceeds to sit at one of the consoles and slip a small square device out of his sleve. Connecting it to the console, he activates it and sits back, watching it work, adding the appropriate keystrokes when it is nessecary. When it is finished, he removes the device and depresses a small button on the side. He drops it to the floor and watches as it is devoured by flames from within.*

You will obey my commands now.

*A clatter of footsteps alerts EvilSoul to the fact that it is time to leave. He backs up against the wall, into the shadows, and fades back into the darkness that birthed him.*

The first step has been taken. Soon, the plan will be executed. Soon, darkness will rule over all, and evil will thrive. There is no stopping this.

*The shadows to the left of the pool table coalesce into a solid form, and EvilSoul emerges from the black. He glances around quickly, and then drops to his knees beside the pool table. Beneath it, Ebo rests, her chest rising and falling with each breath. He pauses a moment as he watches her, admiring her calm strength, before opening a pouch at his waist and producing a small disc-shaped device, no bigger than a large coin. Two prongs protrude from the flat underside, while a series of hieroglyphics decorate the curved top. With a flick of his wrist, he turns Ebo's head slightly so that the back of her neck is exposed. He holds the disc over her skin, and quickly presses the prongs into the base of her skull, finishing with a twist of the device. Ebo's eyes flash open in suprise; but only for a moment as her body disolves into shadow and vanishes.*

*EvilSoul stands slowly, brushing off his pants as he, too, fades away into the shadows.*

Oh, this can't be good!

**She reaches into her nightstand and fingers her trusty remote. She grabs it and slides it into a hidden pocket of her overalls. She silently checks her room for any intruders. After finding no one there, she walks to her door and locks it. Accessing an onboard computer in her room, she checks the security cameras to see what's going on. A strange shadowy figure appears first on the bridge and then by Ebo's pool table nest. A shiver courses down her spine as she sees what the figure is doing.**

Down in his cargo bay, he sees all of the women of the SereniTREE, save for Needleseye and Jet, each lying in their own bed.

As he watches the exchange between TWG and Simon, he squeezes his fist so hard that his nails cut into the flesh of his palm, sending blood dripping to the floor. Shaking his head, he fast-forwards to the series of abductions, and the subsequent sabotage. He flips a switch, keying shipwide comms.

Static looks up and sees the saboteur returning to the scene of the crime and before anyone can react, he's drawn one of his pistols. With his free hand, he grabs Soul by the throat, pressing with his thumb against the side of the adam's apple. . .squeezing just enough to make Soul's vision blur. He shoves the barrel of the pistol against the side of Soul's head. Despite the speed and anger of his movements, his voice is low and steady. (Imagine William H. Macy as "The Shoveller" from 'Mystery Men')

"I'm only going to ask you once. Where is she? Where are the rest of them, and what did you do to my ship?"

To punctuate his question, he thumbs the hammer on the huge revolver.

*heads to the bridge*

**Without taking his eyes off of the Saboteur, Static acknowledges Simon as he enters the bridge.**

"You and I will talk later."

*Soul grabs at his throat and tries to speak.*

I didn't do anything!

*Static squeezes tighter, his words dripping with vanom.*

Tell me, now.

*Soul reaches into his pocket and pulls out the note, letting it flutter to the floor, the words Catch me if you can! showing plain as day.*

I woke up, and I found that in my lap.

*Soul wants to tell Static about the eyes, the eyes that mirrored his own; but he's not even really sure of what he saw.*

Soul (after a long pause): "Yeah. Because I have one."

**Static is nonplussed as he drags Soul over to the console, shoving his face close to the screens.**

"Explain to me then, buddy, why I see you plain as day wandering the ship making people go bye-bye?" Static asks. As he speaks, his voice remains calm and steady. The others are perhaps very sure of his intent to do serious damage if he doesn't start getting answers he can accept.

With his free hand, he grabs Soul by the throat, pressing with his thumb against the side of the adam's apple. . .squeezing just enough to make Soul's vision blur. He shoves the barrel of the pistol against the side of Soul's head. Despite the speed and anger of his movements, his voice is low and steady. (Imagine William H. Macy as "The Shoveller" from 'Mystery Men')

"I'm only going to ask you once. Where is she? Where are the rest of them, and what did you do to my ship?"

*PR stares on at the tension...and he stares carefully at Soul. Without looking at Static, PR speaks.*

He won't tell you. Can't. He can't tell you.

...He doesn't know.

Summer Glau to me - "You are so photogenic."

**Static looks up, maintaining his hold on Soul.**

"What? What do you mean? He was being controlled or something?"
