Not Quite Domesticated

"Do you still remember me, Admiral? Of course, I remember you.

I'm guessing you didn't expect to find me here. You left me marooned for all eternity on Ceti Alpha Five, with my 'pets' consigned to the OTF ban list. Burield Alive!

It was only the fact of my genetically engineered intellect that enabled us to survive!

But now, I mean to avenge myself upon you.

First, allow me to introduce you to Ceti Alpha Five's only remaining indigenous life form. Their young enter through the ears (just on your turn though, not every turn - that would be uncivilised) and wrap themselves around the cerebral cortex. This has the effect of rendering the victim extremely susceptible to suggestion. Eventually follows madness, and death.

You have also robbed me of my precious Invasive Transporters. It is of no matter, I will find other ways to get to you. You task me, Admiral. You task me and I shall have you. I'll chase you round the moons of Nibia and round Antares Maelstrom and round perdition's flame before I give you up! From Hell's heart, I stab at thee!"
