BD Cerebrum was closly listening to Keto's words, then he stood
up. "Good news," he announced, "he agreed. I heard it very clearly.
He said, 'Sure, feel free to use my medi-bay for any and all purposes
you require, and don't forget to bring along any equipment that you
might need - utilizing any form the medi-bay as suits your purposes,
and you can also have free access to the medical department's budget."
"Really?" said Cerebrum-6, "I thought he said, 'elf bet ten satchets
on tree.'
"No, it wasn't that. He definetly gave us permission."
"Remarkably lucid for an unconcious person," Cerebrum-2 noted.
"By golly, you're right!" BD Cerebrum said, "Get him onto the couch.
We'll have to psych-analyize him. I'll go get some equipment set up,
and we can then probe his mind to our heart's content."
Over the next fifteen minutes there were cries of, "Watch it, couch
coming through," and "Make way for the desk,"- "Hey, that's my life
support system, don't unplug it!"
Finally, the main part of the medi-bay was converted into a
psychiatric office. Dr Keto had been placed onto a couch, and BD
Cerebrum dumped a bucket of water over his head. "Now, Dr Keto,
please tell me why you are capable of coherently talking while
unconcious? Could it be multiple personalities, perhaps?"
