Re: ACTION POST:- one of those days.......

Who: Cerebrum
Where: Blue Dwarf
Cerebrum would have gladly attended the meeting, the Psychiatric
Department being the most important department on board the ship,
after all, but he had the minor difficulty of being trapped on one of
the lower decks that was occupied by the invasion force. He quickly
realized that these soldiers weren't the type who would be willing to
lie on a couch and discuss their problems with him, but would just
shoot him.
Now, the key to any victory would be threefold. One, proper use of
resources. Two, proper plans. Three, enemies that would cooperate
with the plans so they would go off without a hitch.
The resources. He checked all of his pockets and found: one pencil,
one notebook, one golden watch on a chain that he used to hypnotize
people; and a psych-tazer. Cerebrum checked his pockets again, but
still failed to find a mark seven plasma cannon.
"Surrender or die!" came a voice from behind him.
All right then, onto stage two. "Variety does the mind good, you
know," Cerebrum said without turning around as he raised his hands.
The Eniram, obviously calmed by the raised hands, lowered its harpoon
and said, "Follow me."
It failed to notice the contents of Cerebrums hands, but there was
suddenly a watch swinging in front of its face, while Cerebrum was
saying, "You are getting sleepy, very sleepy."
Five minutes later, he had a willing escort. It has been said that it
is impossible to make a hyponitized person do anything against his or
her will, but Cerebrum was a psychiatrist, after all, and knew all
about the mind and all the ways in which it could be twisted.
