"Straight from the horse's mouth," said Machiko.
"We rest now. We talk tomorrow."
Machiko nodded, and the Predators turned and left.
There was a moment of silence as Machiko looked at the blood of Livermore Evanston that had pooled on the floor.
Ned Sanchez looked at her with a different cast to his eye. "Well, Machiko. Looks like you've got yourself a world. What are you going to do with it?"
"Uh-uh, guy. We've got ourselves a world. And what are we going to do with it." She smiled. "Well, we're going to make it the best world in the universe." She raised her blaster. "Any objections to that?"
"Sounds great to me!" said one of the technicians.
"Me, too," said another.
She grunted. "Good." She poked a free finger at Attila. "In that case I'd like you to meet your new Head of State." She stepped forward, picked up the severed head, and placed it in a chair. "And what, O Head, is our first order of business?"
The eyes traveled around the room.
"I think our first project is exactly what Bakuub is going to be talking to us about tomorrow."
"Which is?" said Machiko.
"Have you forgotten the reason you're here? There are bugs on this planet. And unless I miss my guess, while we've been warring with ourselves, they've been increasing exponentially, as is their wont."
"Right. That's what we'll do. First, though, I think we could use a bit of a rest."
"Oh, and one more personal request," said Attila.
Machiko bowed. "Yes, Your Majesty."
"I really would like to reunite with a certain large part of my physical anatomy."
Machiko nodded. "We'll give it a try. I can't guarantee you anything, my dear friend." She scratched his scalp affectionately. "We'll try."
