In a tone carefully crafted to indicate significant irritation at even having to utter such a sentence, Alexis, villainess extraordinare and future ruler of the world, cleared her throat and announced, "Gentlemen, your attention please," to the chaotic scene that had erupted within the powerplant. Technicians, valets, and even a wayward construction worker, all flung against the wall by one of many vent traps hidden throughout the base or throwing desperate, confused punches at carboard cutouts of soldiers, only to be caught up in the blast of another vent.

"It has come to my attention that some of you have forgotten why you are here." Alexis lectured as if the chaos around her simply did not exist. She didn't need to yell. Even in this mess, they were listening. They knew the penalty for not listening to anything she said.

"The reason you are all here," she continued, carefully enunciating each word for maximum effect as she strolled towards the increasingly fidgity construction worker, his hard hat beginning to rattle from his exertions, "is because you serve me," she pulled out her cigarrette wand at this, "if you cannot do that, why, darling," Alexis purred, sounding amused now, "I simply have no use for you." She finished and dropped a few ashes from her special brand of cigarrettes on the unfortunate minion, who promptly combusted. The fires quickly silenced the man's screams and consumed the corpse, which worked just fine for Alexis. No time wasted on getting rid of used up things. She really would have to thank the Doctor for her work on them... perhaps she'd be interested in a permanent position. Another woman around the place would go along way towards some semblance of order in this rabble she nonetheless called her evil organization.

A thought for another time though, there was still a certain business meeting to arrange.
