I\'m So Sorry Dad That It Ended Up SOLD!

Who: Dean, Keto, Tree
Where: Medibay
When: Just as Dean woke up
==================
<< SNIP >>
> "What do all these things do?" Dean exclaimed.
> "I've absolutely no idea." said Keto, walking in. "Unfortunately,
> you've just been sold..."
<< END SNIP >>
"Well that's gr...wait, I've been WHAT!?"
"Sold," repeated Keto irritably, "Purchased. Traded. Bartered
for. You have entered the Public Market."
"But I'm a man!"
"Debatable at the best of times, rather more so when you're
comatose," shrugged Keto, "Besides, all I needed to do was get a
signature from the Head Psychiatrist stating that you were officially
no longer sentient and therefore an object. Cerebrum signed it.
Rather quickly, actually...it was quite puzzling..."
"But...but...I'm not comatose any more!"
"You'll have to take that up with your owner," said Keto, shrugging
again, "The transaction's already taken place. This envelope
contains contact information for your new owner."
Keto handed a very clean-looking envelope to the still-stunned
Dean, and then began removing the medical equipment from the pilot
and unplugging it.
"Ow! What are you...ow!...doing?"
"Getting other people's property out of my medibay," growled
Keto, "And if you'll excuse me, I need to sell that bunk now. I'm in
urgent need of fifteen thousand dollarpounds."
"That's an expensive bunk."
"Don't you have someone to obey or something? Get out. I'm in a
bad mood - not only do I have to sell most of my medical equipment, I
also appear to have lost a very valuable appendix that could have
netted me over one fifteenth of the money I need."
"What do you need all that money for anyway?" asked Dean
suspiciously. Keto coughed.
"Uh. Research. Now get out."
Still confused, Dean stood up and staggered towards the exit.
Two hours later, fifteen thousand, four hundred and thirteen
dollarpounds' worth of medical equipment was up for sale on eBay,
again. Keto, deciding that this was getting ridiculous, made a very
sensible decision.
"You're next," he said to the Ketobrain.
