Think quick!

Who: See previous post, + French soldiers. I am not going to bother listing everyone, okay? Where: Same as previous. When: Just after previous.   <snip>For once, everybody in the medibay did as they were told, even if onlyfor a second.  Even if it was only because the French soldiers werecarrying extremely dangerous looking guns of their own.  Even if itwas only because two people in the medibay were concussed, one wasfull of morphine, one was nearly completely blind, one believedhimself to be a Shakespearian playwright, and the others were taken bysurprise.The French, fortunately, were blissfully unaware of all this. <end snip>   The French, needless to say, searched the medibay thoroughly, avoiding the ointments - after all, for all they knew the various jars could contain unstable chemicals with unpredictable effects.

Every soldiers' head turned towards the source of the sound, and the French officer raised his own gun. For a moment, nobody moved.   Beta Jessie knew someone had to act quickly. Glancing at her other, she remembered that one of her holsters was empty, and an idea sprang into her head. "So that's where that got to!" she strode forward, berating the Tree. "I told you, that's not a toy. It's dangerous, and you don't have the training, OK?" she scooped up the incriminating object, and turned to the officer. "That is yours?" he demanded. Jessie nodded, scowling. "Why do you go armed - on a 'peaceful' mission?" She rolled her eyes. "How else do you expect Security to do the job properly? We do
get the occasional homicidal maniac, you know."   <tag - do we get away with it?>Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com
