The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Altered Truth
Who: Keto, Tara, Medibay Staff, Many
Where: Medibay
When: Just as Tara got into the medibay
=======================================
> "Urm Dr. Keto? What happened here?" Tara asked carefully...
Keto glanced round, then thought fast.
"Some intruders tried to storm the medibay," he said,
truthfully, "And they were all killed."
"But...that's Cerebrum!" said Tara, almost doubling up as there was
another kick.
"He was killed as a result of the security team invading the
medibay," said Keto, sticking to the truth and nothing but the truth
(although conveniently avoiding the whole of it).
"But..."
"Look," said Keto quickly, "It's obvious you're in no condition to
be walking around. Let's get you onto a medibunk!"
"But how...?"
"Miss Cleavage, I think it would possibly be in your best interests
if you didn't exert so much energy in your condition," said Keto,
signalling to Wildflower to wheel over a medibunk, "On such petty
things as talking and reasoning logically."
"But why is...?"
"Don't worry, you're in good hands!" said Keto as Tara was,
somewhat unwillingly, wheeled off to the far corner of the medibay
before she could ask anymore fairly awkward questions, except of
Wildflower who probably couldn't answer them completely and
truthfully.
Keto was about to congratulate himself on having told the truth,
but then realised that he'd said 'in good hands'.
"Well, nobody's perfect," he murmured.
