This week with Arlene and Jeff:
..."Excellent. Go get a stretcher… No, belay that order. Get a gravfloat from the machine shop - without anyone noticing if possible. We'll cover Shithead with a tarp and put him in my quarters. And while you are getting the float and tarp, see if you can get one of those portable medunits, too. I will divert the medteam so you can obtain the unit from their area."
The Orderly, ecstatic to have been given an assignment other than to clean up or make stim, was off the bridge in a flash.
A moment later, the First was on the line to the Engine Room. "Chief, I need you to have a medical emergency. Possibly a minor fall that will leave one of your people unconscious for a few moments, but he will be revived and will be positive that he is in excellent health as soon as the medical team arrives. I just need them out of the way for a few sub-cycles. Understand?"
"Do you realize how busy we are?" the Chief sighed out.
"I will owe you one, Chief, and oh, by the way, it will be a way to fuck over the Captain."
"Well, why did you not just say so? When?"
"Now is a good time for me."
"All right. He has fallen. One of my subs will call the medical team as soon as I am off the line."...
Have a goodun;
