The Aztec vampire princess Qonzilqointec was attending a cocktail party in New York City in an exclusive Fifth Avenue penthouse.
She wore a green velvety evening dress and a diamond necklace.
She briefly glanced at her cell phone where she had received a text message from Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
She typed the words DO IT NOW in reply.
She glanced across the room and noticed the former Apollo astronaut who seemed to be the center of attention in a little group of admirers gathered around him.
They seemed to hover on his every word as he described what it was like to walk on the Moon and to view Planet Earth from the Moon.
He was then asked whether he had ever seen any aliens while he was up there.
Princess Qonzilqointec walked half-way across the room in his direction and then just stood there looking at him.
The former Apollo astronaut gazed in her direction and then without stopping to answer the question about aliens walked over to her.
They went off together to a quiet little corner of the penthouse where they talked together in very hushed tones.

Meanwhile in a quiet room on the upper floors of the Westminster Parliament in the shadow of Big Ben, a powerful but little known Parliamentary Committee was meeting.
The committee was a joint House of Commons/House of Lords Select Committee on Intelligence and Defense.
Addressing the committee was none other than Renfield R. Renfield the Chief of Security and Intelligence and Espionage for the multi-billionaire ancient Egyptian vampire Set.
"So," Renfield continued his briefing, "we need to understand that DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Project Agency) in the United States of America and similar organizations throughout other industrialized nations are beginning a new arms race- the race to create the Super Soldier. This Super Soldier will be a "Human 2.0" to express it in terms of modern computer speak. What is referred to in Research and Development circles as GRIN (Genetics, Robotics, (artificial) Intelligence and Nano-Technology) will be used to create the perfect super human.
This Super Human soldier army of the future will have the following characteristics- hive mentality, superhuman strength, unbelievable agility and unsurpassed accelerated healing abilities."
"Good God," said Lord Tweedsmuir the House of Lords co-chairman of the committee, "this sounds like James Cameron's sci-fi TV series Dark Angel has come to pass."
Renfield nodded, "James Cameron is indeed a prophet. And those nations that do not get aboard the GRIN bandwagon to create a Super Soldier will find themselves going down like the Titanic."
"And," added Amadeus Emanon who had been brought along to serve as Renfield's secretary, "if one of these super soldiers with accelerated healing abilities gets shot, he'll be able to sing along with Celine Dion... My heart will go on and on..."
