Hey, ever seen Quantum Leap?
Who: Canazza
Where: Engine Room, Piston 43 pit
When: Pass
The black oily gunk that surrounded the bottom of the enormous piston stained Canazza's green Wellington Boots (Galoshes for any Yankees watching ;) )
The stench was almost overpowering, fortunatly, Canazza lost almost all of his sense of smell in childhood when he tried to sniff a running Hoover...
He was shoveling the gunk over his shoulder, into a transport hauler's skip behind him. He was at this for quite some time before deciding to take a break.
Turning around he noticed that there was a rather large wall of black goo floating in mid air.
"What the smeg?" He queeried the currently empty engine room.
With the natural curiosity of a 4 year old, he attempted to poke the floating mass, only to have his finger become very heavy, slow down and seemingly shrink in size, thinking quickly he pulled his hand back, and it streeeeeetched out like elastic, before springing back to normal.
"Bloody hell, that's rather wierd, i'd better report this" he said, turning for the ladder.
Everything whited out, he was staring at a bright light, really bright, blinding even.
He began to make out figures, people, looking over him. He felt really small, very wet, and quite cold, he felt himself being pulled upside down and there was a sharp pain in his bum, he screamed.
Just like that he was whisked to another place, another strange, alien place, it was dark, one light above him, and a hissing sound. He remembered this place now, it was the cargo bay where he found the mechanoid a week ago.
"Something wierd is going on here," he thought as his vision blurred, and he found himself in yet another place.
This place he had not seen before. It was wooden, small, not much room to move, and strangly shaped, like a cuboid with extra corners. It was nice in here, comfortable.
There was a WOOMF sound, like gas igniting, and suddenly Canazza felt a very strong heat sensation all over his body, the box he was in caught fire and -
He was back in the engine room, on the first rung of the ladder, the goo was still floating below him.
There was a strangely familliar feeling all over his body, wetness, cold, and a kind of stinging sensation in his rear end. He looked down at the large wet patch in his ship-issue boiler suit.
"It's been quite a few years since i've done that..." He said, walking penguin-like towards the lifts, "And i hope no-one sees me"
