Re: [JMC_Blue_Dwarf] Ta-da! *Buzz* ...Uh-oh.
Who: Keto and Cerebrum, the people who give literal meaning to the joke,
'What do you call the guy who graduated at the bottom of his medical class?
Where: Psychiatric Offices
When: Ever
Suddenly, Keto had an idea. "You know, I bet that if somebody put on a space
suit and crawled out to the rockets, he could manually fire them and we
could get back to the fleet." It was a miserable idea, Keto knew, and would
probably get whoever did it killed. However, it's advantage was that if
Cerebrum thought it was a bad idea, he would have to come up with an idea of
his own, and then be honor bound to do it himself, thus eliminating any
possibility of Keto having to take a risk.
"Good idea," Cerebrum said, grinning.
Smeg.
A few minutes later
The psychiatric offices slowly started to move. "Good work Keto," Cerebrum
chortled, staring out the back window. He gave Keto two thumbs up.
Keto waved frantically. "Yes, yes, I know, it's great that we're under way,"
Cerebrum said, interpreting Keto's waves as meaning: 'Got the engines
going.' This was somewhat of a problem for Keto, given that he was trying to
say with his waves: 'Help, help! The life lines gone loose and I'm drifting
towards the flames from the rockets."
As the offices gained speed, and Keto drifted closer to fiery doom, there
was suddenly a crash, and the offices decelerated, while Keto was thrown
into the airlock. Cerebrum had put a hole in one side of Phil's ship earlier
on. Now, he and Keto had made his ship symmetrical again.
