Burn

This is totally not what I call a contribution but I can't help it! As I'm looking at this new prompt, I'm continuously picturing this in my mind ... Jun boogie dancing in her striped, bell-bottomed trousers with the song "Disco Inferno"! ... Burn, baby, burn, disco inferno ... burn, baby, burn!!! This notwithstanding, this word has a LOT of sizzling potential! I'm looking forward to read what can come out of it!

Oh man, Springie had a great Jun dancing animation that would be perfect for this!!!! Ooh, I found it, but it's really small...

Love this! So in character...I hope Ken gets better so they can actually enjoy their quarantine together... Yeah, you know where my mind automatically goes to...sorry!

hee hee hee, Springie, to be honest, the same thought *had* crossed my mind too....but I don't know yet. Let's see where the prompts take it, eh?

KT: Hah Jun's lovin' made him sick! Can't handle it.

Actually, it sounds more to me like he brought home some tropical disease... and the medical situation may lead to Jun having to reveal what they were doing!

Well, I meant an overheating "yowza" type sick, not a "yuck" sick.

TJ ... tks for reminding me about Springie's animation! That's just what I had in mind ... just fits in exactly! KT ... can't wait to read your next instalment complimenting this one! I'm just wondering what's wrong with Ken and if it's something connected with Jun or not as TJ suggested ! I'm sure he hadn't been naughty with anyone else!

Hi everyone, back after a short holiday (it was Easter for the Greeks last Sunday), now catching up. Curious to see what's wrong with Ken...maybe Jun was too much?

KT: Looking forward to the next one.

A very quick contribution: //"And what do I do if they catch me? Eat the thing?" joked Cronus as Anderson gave him a small ID card, identifying him as a member of Galaxy Security. He turned it round and round in his hand, this last link to his old life, to Centre Neptune, to his friend Jack -- now Chief Anderson, briefing him for his undercover mission to Riga -- and also his last link to his four-year old son. He grinned, trying to lighten the situation. He pretended to bite the ID card. "If you get caught, you burn it," said Anderson, deadly serious, "But, for your son's sake, Cronus, try not to get caught.//

Nice piece, DT! ... short but to the point! So in Cronus's character, that of joking off his worries!

Of course, he'd just be smarter not to have it. If he wants, he can give it to Anderson to pass on to Mark, once Mark is old enough.

That would be a very poignant story, TJ! I can just see the next Bradbury's prompt calling out to me to write something on this You're right, it doesn't make sense for a spy to carry an ID card with him, but I was reading a WWI spy novel yesterday, and my muse woke up and started prodding me!

Ooh, KT...what could possibly be wrong with Ken? Nice little suspenseful bit. Very nice Daniella...sort of like a bit of gallows humor. Hope you continue this.

DT: Yeah, anyone going on deep cover would either not have that kind of ID, OR they'd have it stashed with the stuff they'd need if they have to make a run for it. Still, the conversation definitely feels right as far as the humor. There's lots of room for poignant stuff with passing Cronus's things to Mark at some point, not to mention later with Mark looking it over after he knows the truth.

Now I'm thinking of a Bourne Identity type thing, where his secret information is in a microchip embedded underneath his skin, and in a Swiss deposit box...

k2p2: Oh dear ... fortunately Ryu doesn't seem to think Iona is "with" them. Curious to see just what these guys are trying to accomplish. Theft of the GodPhoenix? An ambush of some sort?

Ding! Ding! Ding! (cue announcer voice) And the winner is, Chris! Somehow I knew it would be you to guess the motive of this story. I mean how else to really cripple the free world's major line of defense? The Godphoenix and all the auxilliary craft in, dare I say it, one fell swoop. Something the ISO and the team as a whole would be tough to stop, once it was set in motion?

Yeah, swiping the team's ride would definitely cramp their style. Though Galactor wouldn't know if there was a backup craft in the (cough) wings. I mean, we've seen before that it didn't take them too long to get the team back in the air the last time they totalled the GP. An ambitious plan, though, and all too close to working.

Yes, but they were able to rebuld what they had, this time the ship will be totally gone, annnd...Galactor will be able to unravel a lot of their secrets.

Ooh, spoilers! Hmmm... I don't know what you have planned, but if I were writing (and not to say you should write like I do, simply that I'm limited to thinking about this in my own manner) I'd have Ryu 'take control' of the situation and take out the Blackbird. Then just as he thinks everything is okay and the day has been saved, Lynn takes off with the GP, Iona in tow, and Ryu is left helplessly behind to wonder who the real traitor is: Lynn or Iona. But that's just me. I'm looking forward to seeing how *you* look at things, K2P2!

Poor Ryu if it goes that way ... "uh, I lost the ship ... and our extra pilot ..." Yeah, if Galactor stole the ship, a lot of the team's tech would be exposed. I'd think they stock stuff like extra uniforms on there just in case.

Hee-hee..I am beginning to believe that I pretty much don't think like anyone else on this site...

Too easy....

Then just as he thinks everything is okay and the day has been saved, Lynn takes off with the GP, Iona in tow, and Ryu is left helplessly behind to wonder who the real traitor is: Lynn or Iona

Hmm...that would be an interesting way to end things. But I can assure you, that is not going to happen...I like things a bit... messier.

But that's just me. I'm looking forward to seeing how *you* look at things, K2P2!

Glad to hear it! Am taking part in an orig fic short story challenge currently, and am looking forward to next week's promt...trying to make "trek," work... but nothing is coming that would forward the story.

K2 ... from here I'm eager to read more to see what's really boiling in your mind! Now, I'm off to the next Bradbury's Jar!
