An In-Depth Profile of ScorpiusBy: Anella
For
galaxygab: An exclusive look at the life of Scorpius.
Background: Lovingly called Scorpy by his closest friends, Scorpius is half-Sebacean and half-Scarran. His unique heritage enables him to read other people's energy signatures, effectively making him a glorified lie detector. It also gives him a distinctive sense of style, characterized by an elaborate protective suit and two cooling rods inserted into his brain. (Close sources report, however, that it would not be surprising if there were rods inserted elsewhere in his anatomy as well given his behaviour.)
Past: Scorpius spent his childhood aboard a Scarran dreadnought. According to Scarran officials, he never truly fit in, always preferring to be alone and play with his Barbie dolls. Therefore, it was not surprising when he eventually escaped and defected to the Peacekeepers.
It was during his stint as a Peacekeeper that he met John Crichton, who would eventually become the object of his sadly unrequited love and obsession. For more than a cycle, he pursued Crichton relentlessly, seeking knowledge about Crichton's secret "wormhole." (This reporter will have to assume this is crude slang commonly used amongst intergalactic travelers.)
Thanks to his immense intellect, Scorpius was able to carry stalking to a new level. In an attempt to track his lust object, Scorpius installed a neurochip in Crichton's brain. According to close confidantes, Scorpius also secretly hoped that having a neural clone of himself living in Crichton's brain would enable Crichton to get to know him better. But alas! It was not to be. The plan backfired badly as Harvey, the neural clone of Scorpius, carried out a torrid affair with Crichton. Needless to say, Scorpius then removed the neurochip and abandoned Harvey in a fit of jealous rage.
Present: Scorpius has finally succeeded in capturing John Crichton and his pregnant lover, Aeryn Sun. Still undeterred, Scorpius continues his pursuit of Crichton, saying that
"I think you know by now, John, what I can offer. What we can offer each other." Unless this reporter is mistaken, Scorpius has just confessed to having past dalliances with Crichton! My my. I guess all that stalking had to pay off in one form or another. In addition, it would appear that Scorpius has also developed an affinity for voyeurism, as witnessed by
his carefully timed appearance in Crichton and Sun's bedroom.
Future: What does Scorpius' apparent new fetish mean? Could he be angling towards some sort of twisted threesome with John Crichton and Aeryn Sun? Only time will tell!
