Where There's Two, There Could Be More! No...Please...

Who: Keto, Wildflower and Vanessa
Where: Medibay (Home Sweet Home)
When: A short while after Keto's panic attack
Keto sat at his desk, trying to control the strange mixture of
loathing and terror he felt. He had returned to the medibay, having
calmed down a little, but was not feeling all that well - he'd heard
Chrys...he'd heard JAY Chrysler say, over the speakers from Big
Brother, that when he got out he was going to visit the medibay every
day.
That, Keto knew, would probably drive him over the edge.
"So let me get this straight," he asked Vanessa for the fifth
time, "You are the younger sister of that other Chrysler we have
locked away at the moment."
"Jay? Yes," replied Vanessa. Keto sighed.
"That idiot didn't even warn me," he murmured.
"That idiot doesn't necessarily know," replied Vanessa.
Keto blinked.
"Do you mean to tell me that he doesn't know that there is
another...I can't even bring myself to say the name...another of *you
people* on board?"
"No," said Vanessa, shaking her head, "I didn't tell him I was
coming to work here."
"What a coincidence," growled Keto, "Nobody told me that you were
coming to work here, either - and I'm in CHARGE of the people who
work here!"
"So my boss was in Big Brother with *my* big brother..." said
Vanessa, mostly to herself.
"And now I'm sitting in a room with someone genetically related to
the person I loathe. You know, you could have lied, pretended that
you were somebody else. Saved spoiling my day until, say, a couple
of years from now!"
"Well, Jay and myself are two completely separate people," replied
Vanessa, trying to lessen Keto's feelings.
"So I can hold two completely separate hatreds for you both,"
sighed Keto, "Lucky me."
"You'll learn to like me!" said Vanessa happily.
Keto snorted.
"Unfortunately, education takes time," he said, "Which I don't want
to waste. And equipment, which appears to be in somewhat of a
shortage around here at the moment..."
So saying, he glanced around the medibay, mysteriously deprived of
much of its high-tech equipment.
"I have a sneaking suspicion what could have happened to it..." he
said, "And if that suspicion is right, then there are a few people I
need to have...words...with. Where's Shakespeare?"
"Uh...funny story..." began Vanessa nervously. Keto grunted and
waved a hand.
"Forget it," he said, "I'll find out myself. Look, we're running
short on equipment and since Wildflower is so wonderfully...uh, I
mean, sadly...indisposed, I need you to gather some more equipment
for me."
He handed Vanessa a list, and she glanced over it.
"A few fluxing coils, a couple of micro-modulators, one or two
systine capacitors," said Keto, leaning back, "It's all on there."
"Where am I supposed to get this stuff?" asked Vanessa. Keto
smiled.
"Well now, I think most of them can be found in a standard
shuttle," he said, "And it just so happens that your older brother
owns such a shuttle."
"You mean we take it from there?" asked Vanessa, "Can we do that?"
"Of course," smiled Keto, "He has given me his explicit permission."

OOC: Say bye-bye to your shuttle, Jay! ;)
