Re: [JMC_Blue_Dwarf] Foreign Particles

There was a long pause.  "You don't mean shaking them by the hand and wishing them bon voyage, do you?" said Jay after a while.  "No.  I mean by swallowing and digesting them," said Keto.  "Ah."
 
"ITS GONNA DIGEST MY PAINTWORK!" Jay squealed, yep he actually squealed, then went into panic mode.
Reaching out, he grabbed the thrust control lever, and yanked it backward, then shifted the shuttle into reverse, setting reverse thrusters on full power.
"Damn thing aint budging...these things supposed to do this Doc?" He asked, as he struggled to shake off the blood cell
"Well yes Mr. Chrysler, the whole point of it is to destroy foreign bodies that may be percieved as a threat."
"Sodding typical..." Jay muttered "That Deans only efficient when he's trying to kill us.."
"Open fire!" Canazza yelled, from somewhere
"Doing that" said Keto "Could cause massive internal bleeding, and possibly even kill Mr Thomas while personally I feel its a sacrifice worth making in order to save ourselves I know you people too well to allow that to happen"
"Dont you have an ointment or something we can use?" Alota asked, before being flung ontop of a pile of people at the back of the craft as Jay lurched forward again, still trying to shake the anti-body.
"GETOFFGETOFFGETOFFGETOFF" he was heard to mumble."PHIL THIS IS YOUR FAULT!"
"HOW?"
"If you'd brought that sodding midget we could feed him to this thing..."
"Well I didnt, so we need to come up with something else!"
"BLATANTLY!" Jay replied "JUST SMEGGING HURRY!"
 
<tag anyone with an idea how to shake this bad boy>

This was like a day trip with your > parents.<< END SNIP >>  "Look, I never trained in navigation!" snapped Keto, as he realised his mistake and turned his chart the right way up.  "...did you just have that upside down!?" growled Jay, having caught the motion in the reflection of one of the monitors.  "...no."  "You did, didn't you?"  "I was merely observing it in a standard medical-practitioner manner," sniffed Keto haughtily, "Anyway...head for that capillary dead ahead.  It should take us back into a venule, then to a vein, then to the heart."  "Wasn't that your last navigational plan as well?"  "Shut up and fly."  The Phoenix dove into a capillary, which even at its current size was a fairly tight squeeze.  The entire ship shuddered faintly.  "What was that?" asked Seymour nervously.  "Nothing, heh," said Jay, quickly pressing the button to cause the Phoenix to shake off the bit of capillary tubing it had just scraped up.  "Is it just me, or are we being followed?" asked Phil, pointing at a few flashing lights on a screen.  Everyone turned to look, even Jay.  "EYES ON THE ROAD!  EYES ON THE ROAD!" everyone simultaneously screamed.  "Alright, alright, jeez," sighed Jay, returning to the main viewscreen, "So what are those lights?"  There was another, greater shuddering of the ship, and something large and globulous suckered itself onto the outer viewscreen.  "YEAARGH!"  "That," observed Tara, "Is a white blood cell."  "Uh-huh," nodded Keto, as the white blood cell in question began to expand, "A phagocyte, to be precise."  "What the hell is it doing?" frowned Canazza as they all glared at the creature spreading slowly across the front of this ship, "It looks like it's going to explode."  "Not quite," said Keto slowly, "See, phagocytes travel around the body finding foreign particles and dealing with them appropriately."  There was a long pause.  "You don't mean shaking them by the hand and wishing them bon voyage, do you?" said Jay after a while.  "No.  I mean by swallowing and digesting them," said Keto.  "Ah."==============OOC: Tag!  Digestion is fun!  >:)JMC's  best....brightest....the most drunk.....www.BlueDwarf.co.uk-Your number one resource in all things Blue Dwarf related,Edit your crewroster profile today!To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to:JMC_Blue_Dwarf-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.comYour use of Yahoo!
