You Drive A Hard Bargain

Who: Keto, Cerebrum
Where: The medibay
When: Pfft.
====================
-- SNIP --
"After the last away mission, on Ibizia, where the volcano erupted
and released the huge hoard of ancient, giant, sentient insects that
started eating people until we defeated them, Jay Chrysler realized
that most of the pilots were insane, so sent them to me to cure them.
I force Jay to come to, and experimented with the mind swapper I got
on the dinosaur planet. Now Dean is in Amber's body, Amber is in
Jay's body, Jay is in Rio's body, Rio is in Efof's body, Efof is in
Kara's body and Kara is in Dean's body. And the machine melted so I
can't switch them back! And if I don't fix it, they're gonna kill me!
And that's nothing compared to what Phil, Tara and Alota will do to
me."
"Well-"
"I can pay you! Lots of money! Just help me! I'll even give you back
the medi-bay's life-support machine. And your computer!"
-- END SNIP --
(OOC: Nice summary, thanks! ;))
Keto raised one eyebrow.
"So, just so I'm clear on this...if I help you to avoid impending
death and/or dismemberment at the hands of the crew, you'll pay me
money and return my medibay's equipment?"
Cerebrum gave a curt nod. Keto sighed.
"Your death, or large amounts of money and equipment. Such a
difficult decision..."
"Or I could just pretend I've switched bodies with you, and hope
they dismember you instead," pointed out Cerebrum. Keto laughed
hollowly.
"Oh come on," he said, "How stupid do you take the rest of the crew
for?"
There was a pause as they looked at each other.
"Okay, show me this machine," growled Keto.

OOC: Sorry it's short, but it's half one in the morning and I just
got back from losing £30 at work. Meep.
