Lost in Space: "Wanted Man..."
Summary: Smith's past...And the Space Tribunal catch up with him.
Stranded once again due to needed repairs on an unknown planet in a star system far from Earth (or Alpha Centauri), the Robinson, Major West, Dr. Smith, and the Robot are about to encounter an old foe. Several, actually.
Part 2...
Smith coming slowly to a half-consciousness, to find himself being gently fanned and cooed to...
"Here, now...Have some water..." a cup offered to his lips. "You've had a bit of a shock, but you'll be fine." Soothing voice.
"Oh..."
"It's fine..." same voice...But a whisper in back ground...A bit harsh...
Ah...All a dream...Smith thought.
No doubt I'm safe aboard the Jupiter in my own cabin...And...
"It's my turn!!!! Let me!!!" harsh cry.
He opened eyes in shock to see a fierce-looking Noble...well, sadly, by loss of rank...Formerly Noble...But still a warrior...Niolani confronting the Sharecropper Mother in battle pose, the Mother glaring...
"Keep back...I have another ten minutes with him! And he's my betrothed, not yours, you backwoods-appearing hick!" Niolani fumes.
"If the Tribunal granted me use of my power for even an instant, missy..." the Mother, narrow rage.
"Sm...ith..." Veena now floating above him...Seductively calling.
"Miss Veena!" Judge Icho's voice. "You know use of your siren abilities is not permitted under the terms of your agreement with the Tribunal."
"Aww...Not fair...Handsome, pretty handsome Dr. Smith belongs to Veena." She insists.
"The Nether Regions of my world he does!!" the Mother fumes.
"Zachary? I may call you Zachary, mayn't I my darling?" Niolani whispers. Still fanning him and holding cup to his lips... Carefully eyeing the other two females and glancing over at a couple of aliens apparently guarding the perimeter.
"Uh..." Smith looking around...
Where? Have I been abandoned? Oh, phew...He spies Will and the Robot to the side, Will offering a wave.
"I can disable the barriers and fight our way out, dearest." Niolani hisses. "Just say the word and we'll flee...Together."
"I...Uh..."
"I waited so long to find you again, darling." She notes. "I've endured quite a bit of humiliation back home but nothing matters now we're together again."
"Yes...Well...My dear..."
"Oh, I knew you still cared..." she embraces him.
Gasp from Smith...Veeda and the Mother looking over...What the...?
"You worthless, lying...Scheming..." the Mother begins...
"Suspension!" Judge Icho's voice... All three females freezing in place, even the floating Veena.
"Oh, my...The pain..." Smith struggling to rise as Will and the Robot come over.
"William...And you, miserable excuse for legal aid...How could you leave me to the mercy of those insane and dangerous aliens like that?"
"They didn't seem dangerous...Where you were concerned, Dr. Smith." Will notes.
"Define 'Dangerous'..." the Robot notes. "You are in it, Dr. Smith. But I sense they mean you no physical harm."
