Back to work
"Damn, that hurts!" moaned Dirk as he woke up in the cinema. His neck hurt from
falling asleep in the chair again. He pushed the indiglo button on his watch to
see what time it was. He remembered that Phil had "volunteered" some of the
science guys to do lights for the play-thingie. If he rushed, he just might
make it in time.
Dirk remained seated in the darkness of the theatre for the next thirty minutes.
"Oops. To late to get there now." He got up and walked out. As he cruised
about the ship, something finally struck him. "The Science Bay is open again."
It had been so long ago since it was locked down and since Dirk had been
allowed in to work that he was just used to no being able to go to work. But
now the menace of Evil Phil was gone. The Science Bay should be opened yet
agian. He headed for his office.
As the doors opened, a foul reek hit Dirk's nose. It had been over a month
since the garbage had been taken out. He pinched his nose and ran into the
room, grabbing his black box and some notes off his desk, and ran back out
again. Dirk had Holly send a memo to the Sanitation Department for them to
sanitize the Science Bay.
He stole back into his quarters and laid his belongings down on the table.
"Finally, I can get back to my work. Just 'cause everyone else around here
doesn't do anything, doesn't mean that I'm going to follow that example. Now to
finish the invention that will revolutionize all man-kind."
