Tree Mendous
Who: The Big Pink Tree
Where: The Blue Dwarf (I can't narrow it down any more)
When: After returning from New Paris
===============================
The Big Pink Tree merrily bounced its way along one of the lower
corridors in the ship. It was vaguely aware, in its haze of goodwill
to all men, women and plants, that it had been along this corridor a
while ago helping the Most Wonderful Creature In The World with
something. The Tree had never quite got used to referring to Keto as
anything other than The Most Wonderful Creature In The World. He'd
created it (admittedly by accident) and so he was, to the Tree, its world.
The Tree was oblivious to the fact that Keto did not like this.
It bounced along the corridor with vague memories of assisting The
Most Wonderful Creature In The World with opening a door, or a hatch
or a machine or something. The Tree wasn't very good at
distinguishing inorganic objects. It thought they were all rocks.
Finally it found its way into an X-Press Lift and tapped the button
for the medibay's floor with a thin branch. The lift whirred, and the
inflight warning videos began to play. The Tree ignored them,
rustling to itself.
Many minutes later, the doors swished open and the Tree exited,
bounding excitedly along the corridor and into the medibay...which, it
discovered, was very, very full of people.
It rustled to itself for a bit as it looked around, unable to see the
Most Wonderful Creature In The World amongst the crowd. It did see
Tara in the far corner, holding a book in one hand and trying to make
notes from it while simultaneously trying to examine one of the many
patients jostling around her.
The Tree decided its services were needed urgently!
It quickly bounced over to one of the nearby cabinets and began to
pull out different medications - oddly, one of the things the Tree
*was* good at was recognising which of the Most Wonderful Creature In
The World's ointments did what.
Then, quickly, it began to bounce around, treating the less severely
damaged patients with the ointments at its disposal.
=============
OOC: Okay, anybody in the medibay who wants to be treated by a giant,
bouncing, pink Tree, feel free. Bear in mind that it can't speak
(except by rustling), and that only medical staff can understand it.
It's fairly intelligent for a plant, though. ;)
