It couldn't be....
Who: Tara, Keto, Coffey, BPT
Where: Medibay
When: Meh.
------------------
Keto placed his hands on his hips and glared strenly at his rabble of crew, awaiting a reply. Tara and Coffey merely
looked from to the other, saying nothing, and unsure of what could really bed said. Keto's mood was bad, so bad it
would make the 'King Evil' from planet Evil in the Evilness sector look like 'Queen Rosemary' from the happy, happy land
of circus animals and candy floss.
"I'm after an answer of some kind, or does the medibay think it can survive on quarter, no, ZERO wages?"
Tara volunteered.
"Maybe it's in the backup cupboard room?" she said.
"WHY would it be in there?" Keto asked angrily.
"It wanted a change of scenery," suggested Coffey, helpfully.
Keto muttered and shook his head.
"If I find it in there, heads will roll. Again."
He stalked from the medibay, past through the doors and into the backup Ointment room. A few seconds later, he
returned.
"Does anyone have some kind of weapon?" he asked, his face slightly pale.
"Weapon?" queried Coffey.
"Why?" asked the Tara.
"There's a funny noise coming from cabinet G-8, and it souds like some kind of animal trying to escape."
The tree rustled happily and Keto shot it a glare.
"If so, then I'll get an axe," he replied.
The tree seemed to droop a little at this comment and slinked over to one side. Keto grabbed a nearby scalpel, whilst Tara equipped herself with a bazookoid, and Coffey with a cup of coffee.
"Great, coffey, coffee. Are we going to invite it in for some biscuits too?" Keto said sourly. Coffey frowned and poured a little on Keto's foot. He winced in pain at the burning sensation.
"Ok, I get the point!" he grimaced as she smiled smugly.
Cautiously they entered the room, all on tiptoes, weapons ready, approaching cabinet G-8. They could really hear the thumping and scartching from inside. It sounded like clawing of some sort.
"What do you think it is?" asked Tara.
"Evil," replied Keto, "Pure evil."
Keto gingerly reached forward as far as he could and flicked the door handle, opening the cabinet. He brought his scalpel up, ready to inflict pain on the creature inside. A lump tumbled out, along with a few ointment jars, coughing and spluttering.
Keto kneeled down and stared at it. He clasped a hand over his eyes, shaking his head.
"What is it?" asked Tara, hers and Coffey's view blocked by Keto's body.
"What did I tell, you, EVIL!" he said, ignoring the nurse. He mulled over the possiblity of killing it now, but decided to spend some time actually doing some work for a change. "You two deal with this, I need some time and space to work out why my life just keeps on getting worse."
Tara and Hazel, looked at the still unidentifiable lump in front of them.
"What is Keto talking about?" asked Coffey.
"Ist thateth mine fairest Hazel?" the lump spoke.
Coffey's and Tara's mouths dropped open. They turned to look at each other, and then back at the heap on the floor.
"Hellos't? Did I but heareth voices?" the lump asked again, moving this time and unfolding into the figure of a man, a surgeon even.
"William?" stammered Coffey, kneeling down. She turned the figure over and took an odd covering of felt from the head of the man. She stared down at the face of her long lost love Doctor William Shakespeare and felt like crying.
"Om my god, It really is you," she said, "I've missed you so much. It's so good to see you, where have you been?"
"To thy netherworld and'st backeth," he said, lifting a hand and trying to feel for Coffey. "Alas, I wish I could'st
see thy heavenly visage, but I am regretts't to sayeth, I am blind."
