Re: Pooh-pooh head

Who: Keto, Tree, Phil (Naturally Mini and Artificially Mini)
Where: Medibay/Cargo Deck
When: After the space battle
============================
Keto gingerly peeled back the blind, glancing out of the window
again. The battle with the hymenoptera almost seemed to be over now,
although he could still see a few ships drifting about and a couple
that seemed to have crashed into the largest of the alien ships. He
made a mental note to possibly mention that to somebody. There might
be someone hurt in there.
Just then, the Tree rustled behind him as a message came in on the
vidscreen. Keto turned to see a face of a generic security goon
(second class), who coughed and then began to speak, obviously
reading (with difficulty) from a piece of paper.
"Uh, Mr FeBuggre says that Dr Smelly-Butt is to come down here and
find out how this stiff died like on that CSI program."
Keto blinked.
"Stiff?" he asked.
"Yeah. Uh. Dead body," replied the goon, obviously having to use
both brain cells to make this giant associative leap. Keto's
eyebrows shot up.
"Oh my," he murmured, "Where? I'll be right there."
"Cargo Deck," replied the goon, jerking a thumb over his shoulder
to where the level indicator was clearly visible. Keto nodded as the
vidscreen flicked off and headed for the door.
*Rustle?* inquired the Tree, worriedly.
"What? No, no, you should stay here," said Keto, glancing towards
the corridor, "Tell the others what's happened. I'll go down and
look over the body. Must have been an accident on one of the cargo
decks or something..."
*Rustle-rustle,* pointed out the Tree.
"True, they don't normally ask medical officers to examine bodies
from an accident," mused Keto, heading for the door again, "I'll be
back soon. This is...worrying."
*Rustle,* agreed the Tree, shivering slightly as Keto left. Then,
after hesitating a moment, it bounded off outside in the direction of
Parrott's. That, after all, was where Wildflower had been headed -
and even the Tree, with its vegetative senses, knew that this was
important enough that she'd need to know about it.

OOC: Okay, Keto's on his way down to where the body is if you'd like
him to examine it. :)
