Seymour - *Backpost* - "Jenny in a Coma" pt2

<snip>
But there are races in the galaxy who will be able to help her."
"Oh." Said Seymour. "Who?"
"I don't know, I'm not the one who has spent the last eight years of
his life living onboard a starship am I?" the doctor shot back. "But
preferably some race who don't want to eat her first."
"Well yes." Seymour said, and sighed heavily. "I'll see if I can find
someone who can help her."
With that he wheeled Jenny out of the room.

Who: Seymour Niples
Where: Transpar city, New New New Zealand
When: About a year ago
Seymour arrived at the spaceport of Transpar city and began walking
to the address written on his hand.
He had travelled to many different cities on many different worlds
over the past few weeks trying to find a doctor who would be able to
cure Jenny. The doctors on Titan had told him that her head injury
was far too severe to cure, but being as stubborn as he was, Seymour
didn't believe there was nothing they could do.
Transpar was an unusual city. All of it's buildings were made of
glass, or other transparent materials. This took a lot of getting
used to, as he could see clearly through every wall. He could see
directly
into every office, and see hundreds of people sat working at their
transparent desks. He could also see people climbing invisible stairs
and riding in transparent lifts to higher floors that seemed to be
levitating above the ground.
He walked past another building and had to avert his eyes as he could
clearly see into a toilet block. The patrons sat with their pants
around their ankles, oblivious to (or uncaring) that the world could
watch them. One man turned from his monthly issue of "nuts" magazine
to give Seymour a wave. Seymour turned and hurried along. He dreaded
to think what it would be like walking around domestic houses, seeing
into peoples bedrooms. Do these people not value privacy?
The address Seymour had been given was a 20 story high tower
building. In glowing letters on the transparent front wall it
says "TransMed Pharmaceuticals."
Seymour shrugged. "Sounds like the kind of company that sends out
spam emails."
As he rode in the elevator he could see clearly how high he was just
by looking down. Or anywhere around him in fact. He carefully got out
of the lift, feeling with each step that there was ground below his
feet. He felt he was walking on thin air.
A receptionist showed him into a room full of advanced scientific
equipment, most of which was transparent.
"Hello, good to meet you Mr Nipples." said a naked man walking
towards him. "My name is Doctor Nettles."
"That's Niples -" Then the shock of seeing the man's naked hairy body
sank in. Seymour immediately looked elsewhere but the man insisted on
shaking his hand.
"Oh I'm sorry, I appear to have caught you at an inconvenient time,
I'll wait outside as you get dressed."
"The man looked confused for a moment then looked down at
himself. "Oh actually I am fully clothed. This is the latest fashion,
transparent clothes. What do you think?"
He stood with his hands on his hips.
Seymour forced himself to look, but swallowed hard to prevent from
being sick. It was clear the man didn't work out. "Erm... very...
nice."
