Take Us To Your Market Leader

phrase "Cerebrum and Keto"
Where: Psychiatric And Medical Starbug (Commandeered, admittedly)
When: Bnk.

"Well," mused Keto after the lengthy pause of half a second, "I
think that the first order of business is to stop asking ironically
stupid rhetorical questions and get those thrusters fired up on our
way to Earth."
"Perfect answer," nodded Cerebrum, "Except for the part about
stupid. You lose a mark for that. But otherwise, perfect answer."
With that, he moved over to the main pilot's station, as Keto
headed for navigation.
"Do you know how to operate one of those piloting stations?" asked
Keto.
"Do YOU know how to navigate?"
"Touché," said Keto grudgingly, staring at the buttons in front of
him.
"Lifting off. I think," informed Cerebrum, "Work out how to set a
course for Earth."
"Naturally," said Keto with a sickly smile, eyes looking slightly
worried, before hitting a few randomly-coloured buttons.
"Course laid in," flashed up the screen for a moment, and Keto
shrugged.
"I've laid in a course," he said. Technically, he knew, he was
telling the truth. He had laid in *a* course.
Unfortunately Cerebrum had used this trick himself too often to
fall for it.
"For Earth?"
"It's a distinct possibility."
"I believe we can get there by dead reckoning from here," said
Cerebrum. Keto frowned.
"What makes you think that?"
"Well, it's through that debris, through the asteroid field,
narrowly sling-shotting around Mars and then getting through the
defence systems. It's not exactly a difficult route to find," said
Cerebrum as the 'Bug surged forwards.
Keto stared.
"...GETTING THROUGH this route, on the other hand..." continued
Cerebrum after a while.

OOC: Tag! Like Ben, I'm going to be fairly infrequent in posts for a
while since I've got some hefty exams coming up too, so maybe this
would be the best way for us to do a somewhat slower subplot without
messing up the main Action...which is a pity, because it looks like
fun, but never mind, we can catch up with you later. ;)
