"HELLO!? ANY WOUNDED!?" yelled Keto, who by this stage was red in
the face. It was all very well there not being too many
wounded...but there not being ANY wounded made the medibay
effectively useless, which reduced his budget. Which was bad. Keto
was very tempted just to collar the next crewmember he came across
and admit them to the medibay as a precaution.
Poking his head into the VR suite, he saw Kara and Hank sitting on
the floor, headsets plugged into the giant controlling VR machine.
"T'ch, does nobody do any work around here?" said Keto, as he
wandered over to the machine, "What crudely-designed game are they
immersed in now?"
The title loomed out at him, causing him to do a double-take.
"Better Than Life..." he murmured to himself.
For moments on end, he just stood there, an inner voice debating
with itself. Then, finally.
"Well, it's perfectly possible that these crewmembers have an
unseen injury," coughed the doctor, "And I'll have to ask them if
they're in any pain. I *guess* that means I'll have to enter the
game. What a shame..."
With this somewhat barely plausible logic in place, Keto picked up
a headset, placing one of the ointment vials he had been carrying on
the floor of the suit, and jacked into the game.
As the machine took control of his psyche, however, he stumbled
slightly, knocking the vial, which fell over and rolled towards the
VR controller.
There was a hiss and a crackle as the unknown ointment spilled into
the bowels of the VR machine.
-- Inside The Game --
"This...doesn't seem right..." said Keto to himself, as great
clouds of dark mist swept in over the tropical paradise he had
briefly found himself in.
A cold wind made the hairs on his neck stand on end.
"Definitely not right," he said, and clapped his hands.
Nothing happened.
"Definitely not GOOD!" yelped Keto.
