Kya ha ha ha!

Who: Keto, Tara
Where: Tara's Quarters
When: Mere minutes before the ointment wears off

> "Tria lock the doors" Tara barked at her AI.
> "Yes, oh psycho one" Tria said and locked the doors.
> "And now Charlie boy we wait...." Tara cooed to the bird.
<< END SNIP >>
"Squawk!" panicked Keto, and began to run around like...well, a
chicken with its head cut off, actually. As Tara made a grab for him
and missed (catching a chicken, even one that used to be human, is
not an easy task), he tried to take flight...of course forgetting
that chickens haven't flown for three million years.
No matter where he ran, hopped or briefly flew, however, there was
no way out. Tara had sealed her quarters extremely effectively - and
there was no way that even Holly would allow a mere chicken a
security override in order to escape.
One minute now, Keets," smiled Tara. Suddenly, blind panic mingled
with fear made Keto's chicken eyes spot something he had missed - an
air vent. Before Tara could move he lurched over to it, fastened his
talons (of a sort) onto it, and leant his weight backwards.
There was a thud, and Tara was now faced with a chicken almost
crushed beneath an air vent grill.
"Sq...uawk..." managed Keto, as Tara blinked at him.
Tick.
There was an enormous inrushing of air, and the vent grill was
catapulted upwards as the creature beneath it suddenly increased in
size. It bounced off the ceiling with a crash...but before it even
hit the ground Keto was already crawling along the air duct, mindless
panic lending him a speed that most burrowing animals would envy.
