Detour

"Are you *sure* you're not insane?"  "I CAN REFUSE VISITING RIGHTS IF YOU REALLY WANT ME TO!" growled Keto, and Jay shrugged and headed into the medibay.  "Can I come out now?" asked the brain.
Jay stood over Alota's motionless form, introvenes and squiggly plastic tubey stuff that were connecting her to various medical-type machines..
 
Ok, Jay had to admit he knew NOTHING about medicine...all he knew was was that if you had hangover there was no cure...well there was a cure, invented in the early 2020's but it didnt come close to relieving the kind of hangovers he, Phil and Dean gave themselves.
 
Jay in fact knew so little about medicine that he had no choice but to TRUST DOCTOR CHARLES KETO  that these various monitors, gadgets and oojamaflips connected to his wife's body were actually there with the intention of helping her. He shuddered, right now, he was relying on Keto, someone who Tara, had recently told him, actually knew nothing about medicine.
He held her hand with his right hand, and gently ran his finger on his left hand across her face. "C'mon honey..you can get through this," he said, unsure whether she could hear him or not.
He stared at her emotionless face, the only sound the gentle consistent beeping of the heart monitor. "Why is it always the people I care about..." he muttered, but his train of thought was interuppted.
"Jay..." came Allie Fletchers voice over the comm.
"Yeh...whats' up?" he replied, with the enthusiasm of a dead sloth.
"We got a problem...Phil...is kinda..'piloting' his way toward the drive room..."
Jay shook his head and headed up to the Dwarfs control centre.
 
When he arrived the room was filled with Phil's panicked scream's over the comm.
"OHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHIT!"
Jay took the mike "PHIL?! What the smeg are you doing?!"
"Um..right now?....thnking about changing my underwear..."
"He was delivering a 'package' to the Robo-santas...your idea he tells me" Allie said.
Jay rolled his eyes. "Phil you moron I said I was gonna fly the ship!"
"Yeh well...there was  change of plan..."
"I can see that..."
"Thing is I dunno how to land.....I was gonna 'dean' it"
"Normally I'd land it from here by remote" Jay said "But holly's on lockout so the best I can do is give you an  alternate flightpath from the drive room..."
"Please!" said everyone in the drive room
"your still gonna have to Thomas manouvere it.....but you'll be on a better trajectory...you wont die or kill, hurt or maim, anyone important"
"DO IT!"
Jay typed a few commands into the nav-console and the Starbug veered off out of sight from the main view port.
The ship rocked, and an impact alarm sounded, followed by phils vpice again ove rthe comm "Oooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwww.........."  followed by "EEEEeeeee...!!"
"Where did he crash?" Allie asked.
 "Cerebrum's office"
"You said no-one would be hurt! What if Cerebrum's in there?!"
"I said noone IMPORTANT would be hurt...."
 
 
<damn shame Dr C. aint in his office innit really....  :)  TAG!>
