Amber sighed a "Oh bloody Christ not this crap again" sigh as a
Medical Attendant carrying a small laser cutter rushed to free the
unconscious McJohn from the thrity pounds of cut-rate rusting alloy
he'd been dragging for the last six hours or more.

A cold air flowed over ohn for a second as he lay there. His eyes
turned to lead as unconciousness grasped him again. He was dimly
aware of other voices as he slipped out of the world and into his own.
"So, hows it going on the whole getting me a body front, John?"
Jack... one of the Jacks personas stood there by the lake. It was
night time now, and the cloudless sky reflected a billion stars
across it, The moon illuminated the central tree. Softs animal noises
could be heard from the surrounding Forest.
"Not so good. We only just finished off the handiwork of your
brothers"
Jack nodded. He knew Keats meant the other Jacks from across the
multi-verse that had all been pulled together by the experiment.
"So how have you been, Jack?"
"Ive been getting used to using my.. your mind. Practice, if you
would for when i get one back myself"
He demonstrated his inititive, waved a hand and the scenery turned
into a mid summer paradise. The shore was filed with deep rich green
grass and the water sparkled in the mid-day sun. He then turned it
back to the peaceful night time scene. The water lapped carefully
over there feet as they stood there in silence.
"Im going back now. Il try to find a body for you, Jack. Just give me
some time..."
Jack nodded and turned around and looked out across the lake.
Keats awoke sharply. And blinked. It was quite here at the moment,
the med-bay had dealed with the emergencies, it seemed, and now were
concentrating on tidying the place up.
John flipped his legs over the side of the bed, and stood up, Looked
down at his folded clothes and skin suit, and proceeded to the
toilets for a shave and a shower. He also got agood lok at his new
short hair. It wasnt TO bad, it stood about a centimeter high, and
was quite even. He sighed, and got intot he shower.
