*hands HEr a picture of CAlli, Dolly AND Centcomm with a caption (You Screwed with these folks. Have a nice life....all five minutes of it you have left ebfore the agony hits.*
Actually while you're at it, you can hand her a picture of Decimus as well .. that might actually scare her more than the Calli/Dolly/Centcomm picture, because she *knows* that the prince is god awful mad.
I have a feeling that as soon as Dari's jaw is fixed she'll warn her jailers in hopes of getting off easy. At which point the fecal matter will quickly make high velocity contact with the rotational atmospheric movement device

Continuing the line of thought brought up by Rose :
Dari : "The crazy bitch that kicked my ass and brought me in, is a security agent from New Troy!"
Guard : "Her identification checks out. She's a licenced bounty hunter."
Dari : "But she said she was a Troy security agent!"
Guard : "And I said her identification checks out - and she's also listed as a security agent for the Fallon Mercenary band."
Dari : "wait .. Fallon ? .. Fallon Taylor ?"
Guard : "Yes. Also known as the father of Lynn Taylor, whom you should know."
Dari : " ..... fuuuuuuuuuu#¤%#¤%%!"
Guard : "Frankly, I'm surprised she even bothered to turn you in."
Dolly : "I noticed the bounty was from Prince Decimus, and he's *far* nastier than I could ever be."
Guard : "That's pretty cold, but accurate."
Dari : "Shit, I'm so fucked!"
Talk to them, not LISTEN to them though. Not really. The sadistic people just want to hear the screams and moans, not anything their 'victim' really wants to say.
Depending on Dari's physical condition, she may be more valuable alive as spare parts which means New Roma makes out on the deal. She won't be harvested all at once, mind you, the remaining parts have to be kept fresh for use as needed. At least she'll be doing some good for a change.
They'll keep her alive much, much longer than any human could naturally survive. In fact, when she finally meets The Doctor and Rose Tyler, she'll have changed her name to Cassandra, and will be known as the Last Human, but will be little more than a face and skin stretched tight on a frame.
Yeah I mean just cause Centy chose a sex bot Doll does nto make her one. OR just cause TEdee is small cute and sexy doesn't mean she won't Do things to you that are anatomically impossible if you even dare make a pass at her.
Earn every ONE of them... and then some, CentComm. I mean, not only for kidnapping and terrorizing Lynn (Dolly's little 'girl'), but then sassing off to Dolly ABOUT it.
Dari is lucky she doesn't need a machine to do her breathing for her!
Douchebag is intimately involved and wants to teach a lesson in terror, Draginbeard. Make sure anyone ELSE that takes his coin realize that they better do their BEST job (for crappy pay, probably, knowing how cheap-ass Douchebag is) or suffer the consequences.
So yeah I'm sure it will be THOROUGHLY unpleasant, Draginbeard.
I think you are right... but that was spur of the moment, Sheela. He probably has gotten more... imaginative now that he has had time to think about it. Poor Dari.
well it all depends on Decimus .. he could just have her killed.. or sent to the arenas or thrown into chains as a slave. or death by slow torture .. any number of unkind fates ..
Traditionally, incompetence while still carrying out a imperial commission would have been the arena, either becoming a gladiator or animal plaything for the crowds amusement. (They did carry out the commission after all, so that should be worth something.) Only incompetence while not carrying out the commission would get a public execution.
Hmmm... You probably are right, Timotheus. In this case though, you have an enraged megalomaniac that wants to punish what he perceives as 'lies' to his person. Dari is SO fu¢ked.
I have read enough to shiver when someone says the word "Survivable".
The human body can take an incredible amount of damage and still live through it with minimal medical care afterwards.
With the medical tech available to Decimus, he can take it far closer then what you or I can probably imagine.
Fortunately for Dari my suspicion is that he is not mentally capable enough at this point to think along those lines. I don't really think that we will be waiting long on Dari's fate guys.
The Prince does not strike me as good at delaying "gratification." It will also allow him to excercise some measure of control over something and at this point he will use that to recenter himself and his paranoia. Once he begins to feel some measure of control again he will feel he can handle the others and may start to take action against those he feels are threatening him.
While not really pertinent to our story, there was a religious aspect to punishment by the arena in Roman tradition. With sufficient display of what the Roman's considered " warrior virtues" one might earn the favor of the gods and thus survive the arena, thereby gaining freedom, citizenship, and absolution from whatever crime you were accused of. This led to the later tradition of the Emperor's "thumbs up or down" in later years when he was considered a god on earth.
I have a feeling Dari dropped Lynn off and never looked back.
what 'asshole god'
she did piss off!
"The crazy bitch that kicked my ass and brought me in is a security agent from New Troy!"
"Her identification checks out. She's a licensed bounty hunter."
"But she said she was a Troy security agent!"
"Sure, sure. I can say that I'm Santa Claus."
"BUT -" *taser*

Dari has been listed as fertilizer since Douchebag put a bounty out on her. Now comes the time for her blood to nurture the crops.
Yeah, I could see a sadist do that.
What to do when you are ROYALLY F**KED
Not a long book but one to the point :)
Talk about understatement.
It'd only be nine words long:
"Run like hell and pray they don't find you"
He's a ray of sunshine in her life, eh ?
great page
Dari is lucky she doesn't need a machine to do her breathing for her!
If they use true roman justice, no matter what they do, I can't imagine it will be pleasant.
So yeah I'm sure it will be THOROUGHLY unpleasant, Draginbeard.

I can't wait to see where this goes!
That would be .... *blink*
Oh shit - Run, Dari, RUN !!
