"Say that one more time, and I will destroy you," Trisees called back
to the Tree over his shoulder.
"Not if I do it first!" Keto's voice shouted from out in the corridor.
The tree quivered and spread a few more leaves over the nearby desks,
coating the medibay in a nice shade of pink, before hiding in Keto's
office.

Keto, holding his rifle, strode determinedly along the corridor
towards the vehicle bays, Trisees holding a pair of pistols with a
small blaster cannon hoisted over his back. He jogged till he was
level with the stony faced Keto.
"So Charles, we rescue the welsh."
"Correct."
"But not hurt the Blue Dwarfers?"
"Again, Correct."
"What if the blue dwarfers get injured in the process?"
Keto stopped and looked thoughtful.
"Casualties of war," he replied after a few moments.
"I'm fine with that," said Trisees, loading his pistols.
They arrived in the vehicle bay a few minutes later and surveyed what
the crew had left them behind. It wasn't much. 3 broken Blue Midgets
with no legs (two missing their hatch doors), a White Giant with no
plexiglass windscreen and half a Starbug.
"Some real variety," muttered Keto.
"The only useable ship, really, is that Blue Midget," said Trisees
pointing to the only one with its hatch doorway still attached.
"Lawrence, do you think you could fly it?" asked Keto.
"Charles, I could fly a brick. Not just a pretty scientist, you know."
Keto refrained from replying and walked over to the Blue Midget. The
two gaping holes on the underside of the craft (currently being raised
by a large amount of cinder blocks) made him feel uneasy.
"Are we going to die if we launch this thing into space?" he asked.
"Probably not," murmurred Trisees.
"I'd prefer a more definite answer," Keto replied haughtily.
"The most I can tell you is that it's definitely a broken blue
midget," offered Trisees helpfully.
"That's definitely more vague than the last answer."
"I'm definitely not sure how it'll fly."
"I definitely need to find a better environment."
"I definitely concur," said Trisees.
