The path not taken...

NRPG: Okay, I think everyone knows what's going to happen next, so I'm just
going to do the whole "Ironic comments before impending disaster" scene. As
well as continuing a couple of plotlines that grabbed my attention.
RPG:
Kayn, Johnson, Efof and Doom were sat around the only full table in the
Parrot20 0 (Owen could no longer afford to keep all the neon lights going)
"Sorry about the whole spleen thing Kayn," Johnson said.
"Oh don't worry about it," Kayn said, "I've got another one anyway."
"What?" Johnson said raising an eyebrow.
"Oh you know the story, student, desperate for cash, can't show your NUS
card anywhere for fear of being shot, volunteer for military experiments..."
"Oh, THAT story..." Johnson said, remembering his second colon.
"The cash from that spleen got me through many a hard time," Kayn said
shaking his head, "Hate to imagine what would have happened if I hadn't had
that cash..."
"It's weird," Johnson said, being unnusually philosophical, "How one small
decision can change your life. I mean my Dad was nearly a police man, and
his joing Space Corps was my inspiration for joining Blue Dwarf, imagine
what would have happened if he'd become a cop?"
"Yeah," Efof said, "And imagine what I would be doing now if my entire race
hadn't whiped out by GM bugs?"
"It's the little things that matter," Kayn agreed.
"Imagine what Doom would be like if he wasn't... like he is?" Johnson
wondered.
"BE SILENCED! DEVOUR YOUR FOWL CONCOCTIONS OF THE ABYSS! MY WORK MUST NOT
REMAIN UNFINISHED!" Doom roared.
"I think he means, drink up, it's our shift in a few hours and we need our
sleep," Johnson suggested.
"mmm, I don't know, is beer usually this, purple?" Kayn asked.
Johnson shrugged and drank his in one go, Kayn and Doom did the same. Efof
tossed his drink over his shoulder, no way did he want a repeat of last
time.
Johnson and Kayn grabbed an Xpress lift (not a turbolift! That's Star Trek!)
which would take fifteen minutes to get to the drive room.
They sat in silence for awhile, Johnson looked at Kayn, "You know that blue
hair actually looks quite cool, almost sexy," Johnson noted.
"Thanks," Kayn said, "You don't look too bad yourself..."
Back at the Parrot, Owen made a note to buy more aphrodisiacs...
