Who: Keto, Shakespeare, Alan Danvers, Edward Nigma, Tara, The Tree
Where: Keto's Quarters (The Temporary Medibay)
When: During the madness
============================
<<BRIEF SNIP>>
Shakespeare looked around the room and noticed two completely new men
in Keto's apartment.
"Who in the devil are you two?" Keto asked.
"The name's Alan Danvers, stellar cartography," said the man with the
missing eye. "I ran into this guy here whilst I was trying to get
around the cargo decks." Danvers pointed to the seated man.
"Blueberries," said the dreadlocked man. "I mean, Nigma. I'm Edward
Nigma. You're the Chief Badger of Medicine?"
Keto was unsure at first but he nodded.
"I'm the new psychiatric officer. Anyone got some blueberries?"
<<END BRIEF SNIP>>
There was a very long pause.
"Blueberries?" asked Keto, raising an eyebrow. Nigma nodded. Keto
glanced towards Shakespeare, who was looking blissfully confused,
before looking back at the psychiatrist.
"You're not quite...stable, are you?"
"I'm perfectly badger," declared Nigma. Keto sighed.
"Fine. As if your mental instability makes you any different to any
other psychiatrist we've had aboard this floating asylum. Or any
other crewmember, if it comes to that. Just avoid spreading more
madness around the place and you'll do fine. Except for him."
Keto pointed at Shakespeare, who blinked. Nigma looked over at where
the surgeon stood.
"This man here," continued Keto, still pointing at Shakespeare, "Is
our chief surgeon. He believes he is William Shakespeare. Surprising
though it may be, this is not his biggest problem. He has been
serving on this ship in some form for the last six years or so. When
he appeared in my office..."
"Bathroom," interrupted Wildflower, not looking up. Keto glared at her.
"When he appeared in my BATHROOM this morning," he continued, "He
appears to have lost all memory of being on board this ship for the
last six years. I would like you to examine him."
"And find out why? And really, do you have any blueberries?" asked
Nigma, looking around Keto's quarters curiously. The doctor snapped
his fingers, drawing Nigma's attention back to him.
"I don't care if you find out what caused it," he snapped, "I just
want you to get him...and you...out of my way for an hour while I work
out the best way to get him out of my life again."
*Rustle,* rustled the Tree from its corner. Keto growled at it.
"What did it say?" asked Nigma. Keto closed his eyes.
"It said it has managed to grow some blueberries for you," he sighed.
Nigma leant back slightly as a large pink branch deposited a small
handful of slightly pinkish blueberries in his lap.
"Umm...thanks," he said.
The Tree rustled.

OOC: Tag anybody who is in the medibay or wants to appear in the
medibay...well, Keto's quarters which are temporarily the medibay,
whatever. This includes rampaging murderous peewee robots. ;)
