Hypocritic Oath

Who: Keto
Where: Ffionian Planet
When: After landing on the Ffionian planet. I find that's the best
time to walk around on one, don't you?
======================================
Keto was sitting hunched up on the ramp of one of the Space Eagles,
glaring sourly out at the landscape and at the crewmembers as they
wandered among the nervous-looking Ffionians.
Of course it was a good thing that an entire species had not been
wiped off the face of the universe.
Of *course* it was a good thing that the Ffionians turned out to have
additional planets.
Of *COURSE* it was a good thing that Efof now might find some way to
reprodu...
"Damn it," growled Keto, standing up and cracking his knuckles, "Even
I have limits on the lies I can tell to myself!"
He glared across the landing area to where a few crewmembers were
looking over the Ffionians with interest, and were in turn being
looked at with mingled fear, worry and mild paranoia. All three of
which, he mentally observed, were perfectly natural reactions to
meeting the crew.
Keto stretched, trying to wake his spine up after having been thrown
around in the prior battle, before deciding to track down somebody who
would either amuse him or allow him to accidentally ensure Efof's
non-childbearing status. There were, after all, certain moral forces
that doctors had to follow. Don't allow stupid aliens to reproduce.
That was in the Hippocratic Oath somewhere, wasn't it?
He stalked off, away from the landing field. One of the local
Ffionian's looked up at him nervously as he passed.
"Hi..." it began.
"No," said Keto bluntly, not even breaking his stride, and walked on by.

OOC: Tag whoever. Sorry it's short, I'm not entirely clear on who's
on the planet and who's not at the moment. ;)
