What ARE You Doing Here?

Who: Keto and Cerebrum
Where: Keto's Office
When: Just as Alexander has been hired.
====================
As Sarah Alexander walked out of Keto's office, she nearly walked
into somebody. Keto, who had been looking forward to getting back to
his paperwork, looked up to see who it was, and was filled with
instant distaste.
It was Cerebrum.
Before Keto could speak a word, Cerebrum stepped forwards.
-- SNIP* --
"Dr Keto," he said, "I've just discovered that I've been thinking
that I was Lenin over the past few weeks, and haven't been able to
get my work down. On a seperate note, I've also discovered that I no
longer have a psychiatric office. I'll have a new one built once we
arrive at the next space station, but in the meantime would you mind
if I use the medi-bay as both as psychiatric office and as the front
for my still?"
-- END SNIP --
Keto blinked. He had been meaning (obviously) to throw Cerebrum
out of his office no matter who he thought he was...but then
again...the medical budget could use a little inflating...
"Well, let me see," he mused, appearing to peer carefully at his
paperwork (when in reality all he could see were the little
dollarpound signs flashing behind his eyes), "Yes...yes, I believe we
may have some room available for your practices..." Keto wisely
decided against mentioning that this 'room' could be a cleaned-out
broom closet...Cerebrum would have the pleasure of discovering that
for himself... "...but of course, times being what they are, there
would have to be a slight...rental fee. And then there is the matter
of the still - such procedures need licensing fees, equipment
insurance, personnel brib...uh, gratuities...especially when so close
to a medical facility such as this..."
Keto pretended to think hard.
"But I suppose we could allow it for...say, a monthly fee of $£600
for the room and 30% of the gross off the still. And I'm afraid that
these terms are more or less non-negotiable."
"More or less?" Cerebrum had to ask.
"Well, you can pay me more, but you won't get the deal for less."

OOC: Cerebrum? Do we have a slightly-illegal but nevertheless
lucrative deal?
Yes, I am still alive, I've just not been feeling too over the
weather lately. :)
*I refrain from using the Eroo since it is a poor beast too near
extinction...and because I forgot it anyway.
