Chapter 4: I Dub Thee Icarus
"You mean to tell me that you don't have a name that is total bullshit!" Katy said as she sat there on her bed talking to what appears to be herself.
When in actuality she was talking to the being inside her body.
No I am telling you the truth you despicable creature the voice said trying to regain his dignity.
"Oh so why don't you have a name?" Katy asked now curious
Among my kind we pick a name when we first take a host. Unfortunately I did not have the time since you were in desperate need of some repairs the voice said
"Repairs?" Katy asked
Have you not noticed the fact that you are feeling a lot better then when you first came into being? The voice now sounded smug.
Now that Katy thought about it she did feel a lot better then she had in the past. In fact she had not had a coughing fit for some time.
Now truly curious Katy looked down at herself and found that the wound to her side was gone as well.
"What the fuck did you do to me?" she asked
I just simply repaired your damage both internal and external was the smug reply
"Internal and external?" Katy now felt stupid
I just simply cleared your wound of infection and repaired that damage then moved on to those annoying lumps in both your liver and your lungs. It was rather hard to take in oxygen when it was clogged like that the voice said rather smugly.
"You cured me of my cancer?" Katy asked
The feeling of satisfaction was good enough for her.
"So if you hated me so much why go through the trouble to cure my cancer slug boy," Katy asked
For the last time I am not a slug! And as for the reason why I cured you I need you healthy. Besides why waste a good host when you can heal your current one. The voice said with a satisfying feeling through it.
"So you sacrificed your naming for healing is that right?" Katy asked
Well there was a lot of work that needed to be done to purge the body of all that crap in you so…why am I telling you all this? It then demanded finally realizing that Katy had in fact manipulated it into telling.
Feeling like a fool the voice then made his displeasure known by giving Katy a headache.
"Alright already slug boy I am sorry," she shouted
I AM NOT A SLUG! The voice screamed at her.
"Ok then what are you?" Katy asked
For the last time fool I am a Goa'uld, a Goa'uld a symbiotic creature that lives in your body and is supposed to take over your mind. I don't know why in the seven hells I am unable to do this! You of all humans should have been subjected to my will…should be cowering to me! But instead I get some human that has some sort of mental immunity to me which is driving me insane. The voice protested never before having to deal with a host like this.
"Well buddy that is what you get when you deal with a manipulative ass fuck like you," Katy replied as she finished her drink.
Nari was still trying so hard not to die laughing as she heard this conversation.
In fact when Katy looked around the rest of the population seemed to find the two highly entertaining.
"You still have not answered my question on what is a Goa'uld?" Katy asked
Alright if you want to know more on what I look like then here
With that an image formed in Katy's mind of a snake-like creature with many jaw openings and finlike protrusions from its body giving it a cobra like look.
"So you are a snake and not a slug?" Katy said
I am not a snake or a slug but I guess snake is better then slug so that will have to do for now bitch it said that last word with some thought.
"Digging into my vocabulary I see," she said rather smug.
It was something new I assume after all it describes you perfectly bee-otch it said again sounding a lot more happy with each pronunciation.
"Well if it is name calling you want then how about I call you Icky then," Katy said
Icky? That is a stupid name the voice said
Well I can't just call you 'voice' now can I," Katy replied
Do you have another name other then 'Icky,'? the voice asked
"Alright fine the first name to come to mind is Icarus how is that?" Katy said
Icarus?
"Yeah you know guy who was stuck in prison with his father and then escapes by building wings made of bird's feathers and wax. It did not help that he was foolish enough to go too close to the sun and melted his wings. That was the reason why he fell to his death." Katy explained
You are naming me after someone who has escaped only to die from being a fool? The voice replied
"Yeah I mean you were kind of stupid for choosing me not that I am not grateful." Katy replied
Desperate times called for desperate measures was the reply from the voice
"So you accepted the name Icarus?" Katy asked
I guess that will do for now though it has a nice ring to it the newly dubbed 'Icarus said
"Then it is settled Icarus it is then," Katy said with a smile to her face.
Don't get any ideas human I am still trying to dominate your primitive mind Icarus said
"You can try Icarus, you can try," Katy said
Nari could laugh as she and the other Nox agreed it was the start of a beautiful friendship
