<extremely long snip>
Who: Keto, Vanessa, almost-dead-Jed
Where: Medibay, Blue Dwarf
When: Before the BD was evacuated and sent into Krylon territory
"Is it safe? The blood. Is it safe?" asked Vanessa, standing well
back.
"Well its not dissolving through the floor, so I reckon we'll be
fine. Just don't try drinking it. Oh-"
"Oh?"
"When I say 'Oh', I usually mean 'something is wrong'."
"What do you mean this time?"
"Something is wrong."
"Oh" said Vanessa.
"His organs aren't human either. His heart is over there and his
lungs are over ...there."
"Where is his liver?"
"That lump of mush over there. This guy must drink like a fish." said
Keto.
"Can we save him?"
"I'm not sure, not without knowing his physiology. Maybe if I just
poke things at random?"
Keto started poking a few organs and that was when Calvert sat bolt
upright. Dr Keto moved back in shock. "Nurse I thought he was
sedated!"
"He is... was."
Keto pushed the Captain back down and he protested a bit, flapping
his arms around. "The sedative isn't working!" Said Vanessa, pressing
a mask over the flailing Captain's face.
"Just hold him. Get some guards to- Oh."
"Something wrong?" Asked the nurse.
"He's healing himself."
"What?"
"Look, his bleeding has stopped. And his wound is healing."
"Oh yeah... weird."
Keto stood away and let Calvert's body do the rest. It totally healed
itself apart from two things. Calvert was comatosed, and he was now a
slightly green colour.

Captain Calvert laid on a bed in the Hospital on Titan. His bed was
surrounded by an air tight plastic sheet, it was unknown if this was
necessary, but with the green blood oozing out of his body days
before, the Titan doctors didn't really know how to treat him.
One thing they did know was that he was still alive. They just didn't
know what he was.
A few hundred light years away however, some very opportunistic people
were discussing the injured Blue Dwarf Captain....
