Duct Derrangements

Who: Rufus, Trisees
Where: BD
When: After The Snip
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
---- Snip ----
He sighed and gave up trying to open the door, instead opting to look
for a nearby grating. For some odd reason, there didn't seem to be
any around. He then realised that seeing as the medibay was a place
he'd called home for nearly a year, maybe he didn't want to see what
had happened to it. It'd be like walking into a burnt down family
home.
He felt a strange pounding in his head, followed by a bright flash.
The corridor went white for a second, and Trisees clutched at the
place where his left ear would have been.
---- End Snip ----
Rufus collapsed onto his stomach and sighed. He was fed up of
crawling through these damn vents, he had cramp, his labcoat was
dirty and had holes in the elbows as did the knees of his trousers,
his hands were cut up a bit,
'but hey, it could be worse. I could be dead.' He thought.
The section of duct behind him began to creak and Rufus glanced
behind him to see part of the metal floor bending and bolts droping
that held it together. 'Fantastic' He thought as the duct infront of
him did the same thing. He had just enough time to ponder the fact of
how much falling would hurt before the duct fell to the floor and
landed with a squish. 'Squish?' Rufus crawled forwards and put a hand
into what he could only asume was one a hive worker. 'Eeeeww' Peering
out he stepped out of the vent and glanced around, with no bugs
insight he set off down the corridor cautiously.
It was several minutes later before Rufus saw or heard any kind of
life. Near the medibay* Rufus thought he heard a strange gurgling
sound followed by a metalic thunk. He looked carefully around the
corner incase any hive workers should be there and was greeted with
the sight of Lawrence V. Trisees gibbering and talking to a half
dismantled food dispencer it's voice box missing and mic half eaten
it was trying hard to dispense a lemon flavoured roast turkey.
"Trisees?!" Rufus whispered so as not to alert any Hive workers
nearby. Trisees dribbled and walked into the food dispenser again
resulting in another loud thunk.
"Smegging hell! Do you want to alert the whole dam ship?!" Rufus said
before noticing the glazed look in his eye and vacent expression on
his face. "It can't be..." He walked over to the scientist and
checked him for the metalic headset known as Better than Life.
Touching his head to fel for the implants his hand was covered in a
sticky goo, quickly wiping it on his lab coat he realised the bugs
must have sprayed him with something and left him for a while. "Ok
buddy, we need to get you cleaned up." Looking along the coridor
Rufus saw what was the medibay doors and reached in his pocket for a
tube of GUNK. He poured some onto the locking mechanism and the door
swooshed open, guiding the derranged Trisees inside the door shut
behind them.
