Hey. So-called evil genuises. How's about a few basic rules?

1. No mind control.
2. No hive minds.
3. No clones. Wait. No genetic experiments of any kind.
4. No mystical whatever.  Especially if it's something you have to dig up from a dead culture.  It's dead for a reason, guys.
5. No robots.
6. No apocalyptic tech dork stuff.
7. Actually? Nothing with an 'off' switch.

And you know the handful of dorks and/or plucky save-the-world types who are inevitably going to ruin your day? Try to neutralise them before you execute your evil plan.

This is pretty elementary stuff, y'know.

[Private to McCoy]

So, Jimmy says you'll stab me if I don't show up at the ward. Should I be worried about you or him?

You won't be the one I 'stab.' Is that an offer to come down without me having to drag you kicking and screaming?

Private

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Honestly? Don't think there's much to see, but I guess I can swing by if it'll make you happy.

If I had a credit for every time someone told me that then came in with half their blood draining out I'd be the third richest economy in the Federation.

I'll meet you down in the infirmary in an hour.

Guessing the second would be Jimmy, getting one credit every time someone tells him he's being a moron.

See you then.

2/2 Action

[Shego makes the minor effort necessary to show up on time, bothering for once to change out of the supervillain suit and into something a bit more casual - a green T-shirt and black sweats, in this case. Her bruises have faded a bit, her raw knuckles don't look quite so rough any more and the scrapes have at least stopped bleeding at the slightest provocation. She's always been a quick healer.

She doesn't bother to knock, slipping through the door and into the ward.]

Anyone around? Doc?

Action

[It was becoming one of those weeks where he practically lived in the Infirmary. It was easier on the Enterprise where he had his own office and a decent cot but you learned to make due. It was like medical school without the constant social drama. Well, nearly not as constant given the state of things in this damned floating highschool.

He walks out from behind a cabinet, nodding to her.] Over here, sit down. [He said, brow raising at her appearance.] Well would you look at that, when you clean up you don't look like a comic book villain.

Action

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

[She raises an eyebrow at him as she sits down.] Is that a compliment or an observation?

Action

[hyposprayed.livejournal.com]

Which do you prefer? [He asks dryly, doing a quick survey of the visible injuries.] So Jim give you free reign with his phaser yet? [He's not sure if he should be approving or not. Considering Shego's performance during the disaster he was pretty damned sure she deserved it.]

Action

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Wouldn't call it free, but close enough. Kinda fun. [And kind of a reminder of how powerless she'd become since arriving on the Barge, but on the other hand? She'd done okay against the Borg without, and that felt like a big deal.

She looks at him.] Doc, have you slept at all this week? Left this room in the last few days?

I'd think, if they needed to rely on 1, 2, 3, 4...actually, 1 through 7, they're not really evil geniuses.

I know people who could control entire cities to their whim without a snifter of a supernatural power.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well. Where I'm from, 'evil genius' pretty much equates to 'evil moron with way too big an opinion of himself'.

[pleasesmirk.livejournal.com]

Where I'm from, they have a special title for that: 'Patrician'. Everyone knows it's us who keep everything in check for him.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

If I never see another robot, I can die a happy man. A pity that won't happen.

[mightymorbid]

I knew there was a reason I liked you.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Necromancy goes under #4 - until I see a successful demonstration, I guess.

[warmscalpelhigh.livejournal.com]

Well, you successfully managed to evade the Borg. Nice job.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

I liked my hair and my limbs where they were, is all.

You still doing the post-traumatic freakout bit?

Amber responds a little too quickly for believability.

[warmscalpelhigh.livejournal.com]

I'm fine.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh.

I guess your whole surgery thing came back to bite you, huh?

[warmscalpelhigh.livejournal.com]

To put it mildly.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

But that takes away so much of the fun...

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

I can't decide if I should punish giving evil geniuses tips on how to do it better or if I should be proud that you're not a moron.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

It's just common sense, Jimmy.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

If I call you Shego like at least once a day, will you stop with the Jimmy thing? Please?

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

That is the lamest deal I've ever been offered.

So....no.
