"There you are
Prime Minister" said the Permanent Secretary, bright and breezy
while choking down his horror. The PM was sat alone at a round
table in a meeting room. It shifted in its chair to
acknowledge the PS, who was standing in the doorway clutching a set
of briefs. The Prime Minister smiled. "Is that a new fang?"
the Permanent Secretary asked. It was. The Prime Minister extended a
limb in a fluid, boneless, indicating where the PS should sit, three
seats away it seemed.
The Prime Minister was
a political bioweapon, a politician genetically altered to be
permanently electable. No one knew its original name or identity,
which was Very Above Top Secret, a category made up for this
experiment. The PM's sex had long been indeterminate. These days its
shape was pretty malleable too.
The Permanent Secretary
sat carefully. "Why are you here, Prime Minister?" the
PS asked in his best concerned voice. "I've been looking all
over for you. You've missed two meetings so far this morning."
The Prime Minister
shook what was still probably its head. The PS waited. There was a
gurgling sound, a voice rose up from within the Prime Minister.
"Me... no like... Foreign Secretary... make flavours taste for
chicken and Brexit not Brexit anymore" it said and shook it's
'head' once more. It's voice was tinny, echoing and distant.
"Well" said
the PS, "you could reshuffle your cabinet, get a new person in
at the FCO..."
The Prime Minister made
a mournful mooing sound and covered four of its eyes. "Poisoned
vector" it said "stand still challenge unable no
flavours..." The Prime Minister glowed a little and seemed
truly anguished. The Permanent Secretary let it stew in its sadness
for a moment, resisting the urge to hug it, before sliding
some papers across the table toward the PM.
"I have some news"
said the PS, "something you might like to hear..."
"Hamster...?"
said the Prime Minister, looking up again, hopeful.
"No, the President
hasn't returned your call" said the Permanent Secretary, "but
something good has happened. Operation Quantum Orange is underway"
he whispered the last part reverently. Tides of muscle shifted up the
PM's face:
"Selective
violence?"
"Selective
violence indeed" said the PS, also smiling. "Our friends in
the south have moved into action."
"Query the visage
and enumeration of traitors?" asked the Prime Minister as
it pawed through the documents.
"Page four"
said the Permanent Secretary, "there's a list of them, seven
students and one lecturer... from the University of London..."
The PM seemed pleased. "I know" said the PS, "it's an
interesting place to start. This is all entirely the Friends
initiative mind you, though we have agents tracking and gently
guiding them if needs be but do not worry Sir... Madam... It,
whatever happens your hands are clean." They were. The
Prime Minister looked at the Permanent Secretary, beaming with
delight. It thrust out its arms, fingers purple and engorged, and
grabbed the PS by the shoulders, extended its tongue and licked the
PS's face up and down. "Thank you" said the Permanent
Secretary, trying not to gag on the slime, "it's much
appreciated."
The Prime Minister then
let go, sat back in its chair and let off a blubbery howl. "Brexit
means Brexit!" It was heard all the way across in Number Eleven
where the Chancellor of the Exchequer had hidden himself in the
toilet to masturbate over pictures from the BaE Weapons Catalogue.
