Keto was heading to the bar with his emergency medical kit - 'rushing' would be
too strong a word - when he was overtaken by several heavily-armed security
officers who barged past him without a word of apology, which was usual for Blue
Dwarf security, and also without beating him up or framing him, which was less
usual.
Keto peered around the doorframe of Parrott's Bar to see Justin Pancake backed
against a table, the security officers warily spreading out and moving towards
him. Keto ducked back behind the door.
"So that idiot's hymenoptera obsession got him in trouble at last," he murmured
to himself, "Well, that's one less irritation for me to worry about."
Something landed on his shoulder, and Keto jumped despite himself. Glancing
sideways, he saw Dave the dragonfly sunning itself there. Something, however,
was subtly different. The dragonfly was bigger. Greener. Somehow...*meaner*
looking.
"Now this," said Keto, slowly reaching into his medical kit and pulling out a
glass sample jar, "Is more interesting."
In one smooth move he swept the jar over the dragonfly and sealed the lid shut.
He held it up to eye level and stared at the dragonfly within.
Uncharacteristically, the dragonfly stared back.
"You are something new," mused Keto, "Whether it's the ointment or that idiot
Pancake's hymenoptera blood idea, it intrigues me. Let's get you back to my
medibay."
Keto turned and walked away, ignoring the sounds of impending violence from the
bar behind him.

OOC: Tag anyone. FYI, I'm in the States until mid-next week, so won't be overly
responsive straight away I'm afraid! :)
