Hide and Seek

Who: Keto, Trisees
Where: Blue Dwarf Corridors
When: A long, long time ago, in a galax...no, wait, wrong fiction.
========================================
<<SNIP>>
"So you're resigning?" asked Trisees, catching up as Keto started
walking again.
"That's right."
"And this will magically bring Cleavage back to life?"
"Maybe not," said Keto, "But it'll stop me killing anybody else."
<<END SNIP>>
Keto was stalking along the corridors of Blue Dwarf, his conflicted
mood somewhat dampened by the fact that he couldn't locate the captain
to hand in his resignation. He wanted to do it in person - he was the
Chief Medical Officer, after all, so it wasn't as if he could simply
palm the job off to his superior. Jed *was* his superior.
Jed was also currently off the Blue Dwarf on New Stoke, breaking into
the ball of his old partner. Keto had not been made aware of this
fact, which explained why he and Trisees had been steadily progressing
throughout a large volume of the Dwarf without much success.
"Where IS he?" muttered Keto irritably, his hands reflexively opening
and closing as he stamped his way along. Trisees walked alongside
him, looking at every corridor they walked through (and, more
noticeably, every crewmember they passed) with an expression of distaste.
"Perhaps he's hiding," the scientist suggested.
"Hiding," said Keto, flatly.
"You're the Chief Medical Officer. He might not want to have to find
another one. After all, you and I are the only non-cretins aboard
this entire ship, and I'm not a qualified doctor of medicine."
They marched on in silence for a moment.
"You may have a point," said Keto slowly, his pace slowing to match,
"So, the question now stands: if you wanted to seclude yourself away
from the moronic crew, wanted to isolate yourself and keep yourself
out of the path of ANYBODY trying to find you, wanted to truly remove
yourself from humanity...where on this ship would you be?"
Then, with a click of his fingers, Keto whirled on his heels and
strode off again.
"Supply Field B!" he said triumphantly.
Trisees frowned as he followed the doctor.
"I almost resent that," he said.

OOC: Tag anybody, Keto and Trisees are heading down towards the cargo
decks! :)
