**Action post** "ointment time"

(OOC- Ok, heres the next action post. To the new crewmembers who arn't quite sure how we play this Sim, action posts are submitted by the person in charge of the sim (me!) and control the storyline so that we always have something fun and exciting to do. Everyone must follow the action post as it will tell everyone what to do. If you are not featured in the action post, then you can do whatever you want- as long as you're participating in the same story.)
 
P.S.This post was delayed the first time I sent it, so I'm sending it again.

***Sickbay***
Commander Niples walked into sickbay, a lot of the people seemed to have been cured, and there were the remains of a few hallucinations dissolving into the floor. The cleaner Katrina Swete seemed busy mopping up the remains of Phil Febuggures dwarves and the blood from Phil's own hand.
"Dr. Keto I presume?" said the commander as he found a man in a white coat trying to administer some ointment to a scared tree. (you could say it was shaking like a leaf- boom boom!)
 
"Ahh, there you are commander." said Dr. Keto, turning away from the tree. "I have the antidote, it seems to be working correctly. There is one antidote for the hallucinations and one for the people having hallucinations."
 
Commander Niples took a look at the test tubes of ointment. "But how are we going to administer this to the entire crew, sprinkling one person at a time could take ages!"
Dr Keto seemed deep in thought, this wasn't usually his forte. He usually administered ointment to one person at a time.
 
"Eeeeeeeeyyy, don' sweat mon!" said Dr. Ventrite, coming back into sickbay after stepping outside for a 'herbal' cigarette. "Weeez got some chick here who's going to get rid of these halluci-thingies...."
Ventrite stepped aside and the tree which Keto was debating whether of not he should kill suddenly exploded. Bark and tree sap flew everywhere and Security officer Penny Lloyd stood ready with a smoking shotgun aimed at where the tree used to be.
 
"Why don't we just shoot the bastards?" she said, with that manic glint in her eye. She had quietly slipped out of sickbay before to equip herself with a few armaments. She had also found Major Harris on the way. He looked relatively amused with himself as the three beggers which had been following him layed wasted in the corridor behind him.
Seymour grinned at Penny, "she's soooo cute when she's got a shotgun in her hands" he whispered to himself. Katrina Swete lifted an eyebrow. Dr. Ventrite lit another rollup.
 
"Unfortunately, that solution is not permanent." said Keto. There is nothing to stop the hallucinations coming back unless we give everyone the ointment.
Ventrite  thought about the tree.
The tree suddenly put itself back together again.
Harris thought about those three dammed beggers.
"Buggrit", "Quack", and a vile coughing sound came from behind him. He cringed.
 
"I think I have the very thing for administering the ointment." said a voice, everyone in the now-oversrowding sickbay turned to see Zack Jarvis enter, followed by the new guy Walter Mulcahy. Both of them were carrying an array of weapons, never before seen by anyone- (except those people who watch the adverts between kids TV on saturday mornings.)
"What the frell are they?" asked Keto.
"High pressure liquid projectors" said Mulcahy.
"Water pistols?" asked Penny.
"Well fook me mon!" said Dr. Ventrite.
 
Dr. Keto and Ventrite filled the supersoakers up with ointment and Commander Niples and Major Harris issued the weapons to a select team of proffessionals whose job was to scour the ship and spray everything with the chemical.
The team would be known for the next 34.5 minutes as "Elite squad" and their heroic deeds would be remembered well until next week.
To become part of this elite squad, Niples and Harris chose the teammembers depending on skill, combat experience, agility and fitness....... untill they realised that non of the people they wanted were there at that exact moment, so they just issued a weapon to anyone who was there at that moment.
(Niples, Harris, Keto, Phil, Zack, Mulcahy, and Whitewolf whom they found somewhere)
 
The group split up into teams of 3 and set off into the ship- curing whoever they found.
As they sneaked off into the world of chaos and hallucinations, Harris whispered to the commander. "The Captain managed to get away. It was that bloody Jacksons fault!"
"Damn," muttered Niples. "Cannon's really lost it this time, I'm worried his overactive imagination is going to come up with something really corrupt. It could do some serious damage to the ship."
 
 
To be continued.........
 
(OOC- Ok guys, follow this on. If your not a member of the "Elite squad" then prepare to be cured! But one condition though- nobody cure the Captain, I havn't yet finished with this storyline.)
