*this happy conversation is interrupted by a badly timed wave*

Joel: Yeah, I heard down here on Greenleaf you guys are looking for crew? I dunno, the info might be outdated, but if your interested contact me or something.

*Zero continues to stare at Spinebite.* I know you don't care, but this young woman is ill. I want to help her to get well, and I want to answer her questions. If you don't mind, I'm going to turn around again.

*Zero slowly turns around to face Upperson as Spinebite keeps his gun touching the back of her head. She fetches the waste basket stowed next to the bed.*
You need to vomit you can do it in this. Gotta correct a couple of things you said.

First- I wasn't standing there when Spinebite first shot you, I ran down when I heard the shots, and I certainly didn't applaud his actions. But when he shot you he thought you had poisoned his food, plus you were an intruder on the ship. He was doing his job of protecting the ship and crew. For the record I wasn't happy about the way he did it, but my opinion didn't matter, I wasn't the Captain back then.

Second- Out here in the black there are rules for a reason. We depend upon each other for our lives. If a member of the crew doesn't follow orders, it means he cannot be trusted when lives are in danger. You notice he is about to shoot me dead, so it should be obvious that I was right not to trust Spinebite.

Third- If you're so opposed to violence, you should not have shot at unarmed people for sport. What you did was wrong. I approved your gun training so you could protect yourself and the other crew members if we were attacked by enemies, not so you could hurt people for fun.

Upperson: If what I did was wrong, why did you shoot me?

To remind you of how it feels when you're not expecting it. I should have shot you once for every shot you fired on the prisoners. But unlike Spinebite, I am not a fan of overkill. I would like to have a conversation with you about human rights someday, and why the prisoners deserve the same respect and dignity as you do, but for now maybe you think about keeping your head down.

Upper: Excuse me?

Well, you did say you have to throw up, and also you might want to duck in case Spinebite does decide to shoot me.

*tater who was feeling uneasy for reasons unknown, switched to auto pilot and walked off the bridge*

*she walked into the infirmary hoping to find Tillie but instead saw BRG unconscious on the floor, she ran over to him*

Hey Doc! Alex! Can you hear me? Are you alright?

BRG: *his eyes slowly began to open* Urgh...what hit me....oh right that would be Spine...

Spine? Spine did this too you? Why was he in here anyway? Whats been going on?

*Tater helps BRG up and sits him down on a chair near by,after he is settled he explains whats been going on*

*Tater is speechless for a second then she whispers* What is wrong with everyone? Have you all gone insane?

BRG: No, the only insane one here in Ian.

*tater hears Zero, Spine, and Upper's voices from Upper's room. she walks over to the room slowly, seeing spine pointing a gun at the back of Zero's head*

Spine what the hell has gotten into you?!

*Grabs the basket and uses it extensively. Coughs*

Upper: In all honesty captain, I'm not at all opposed to violence in its proper time or place. Or even some improper violence... that I have admitted to. But right now, not really.

Zero *looks at the pale and sweaty upper and smiles*: Yes, perhaps not.

Upper: So spine, how's about we skip on the shooting right now?

Spine *still pointing the gun* maybe not!

Upper: Oh, c'mon you know we were wrong. *grins* it was fun. But it was a little mean. Please, Ian? Put the gun down, and please give me a glass of water? Surely it's not that important?

Spine: They injected me with a sedative, and put disgusting dental goo in my mouth!

Upper: Yeah... real torture. One can forgive the sedative, but the dental goo - never!
*Retches again. Zero fills the glass with water and hands it over. Upper drinks.*

Thanks captain. Look. I am sorry I didn't stay in my room when you wanted me to. But you guys have been locking me up since day 1! I was just being obstinate I guess.

Tillie: *returning from the galley with two cups of tea* Hey Doc, you find any scars that match our lovely teeth-- *she sees BRG sitting on the chair outside the infirmary holding his head* Omigod Alex, what happened?

BRG: Spinebite.

*Tillie rushes into the infirmary, opens a cabinet and cracks a couple of cold packs.*

Tillie: Shhh, don't talk. Here, put this on your head. Where else does it hurt?

BRG: *pressing the coldpack to the back of his head* Just my stomach. How is it he could move a muscle, much less get up off the table?

Tillie: Don't have a clue, but the way he's been acting maybe he's juicing. The irrational behavior, the unprovoked violence, the strength?

BRG: Not even steroids could get him to move after that muscle relaxant. Must be something else besides 'roid rage. No, it's got to be something that's blocking the effect of the shot I gave him.

*Suddenly they hear Tatertot shout:* Spine, what the hell has gotten into you?!

Tillie: Ta ma de, now what?

BRG: *pointing to something on a tray inside the infirmary* Take that with you. Remember?

Tillie: Gotcha! *she rushes off to find Tatertot.*

Tillie: *pulls Tatertot out of the doorway and clamps her hand over her mouth* Shh! Get down! What were you thinking, screaming at Ian like that? You could've surprised him into pulling the trigger.

Tatertot: I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's just I was so surprised myself.

Tillie: Sorry mei mei, didn't mean to yell at you, just that he could've turned around and shot you is all, and then what would I have done? Would've killed me anything happened to you.

Tatertot: What's going on? *with tears in her eyes* What's wrong with everybody?

Tillie: Dunno, but something's seriously off.

Spinebite: *staggering out of Upper's room* Ugh, that smell. Can't stand the smell of puke. Makes my stomach crawl up into my mouth, but there's no room with all that blue and green gooey toothpaste in there. Why'd they make me chew on the sugar trowel? Doesn't go with the brown in the scotch. Can't stand that brown blue green greasy plasticine and oh that's done it.. *he's violently sick all over the wall and floor and himself, and then he's sick some more.*

*Tillie returns from Spinebite's bunk.*
Tillie: He's out. Sleeping like a log, and snoring like a saw.

*Zero pokes her head out of Upperson's room.*
Ladies, I could use a little help. Upperson's throwing up a lot, and -ooh!- didn't realize how bad it is out here. I think they've both been dosed with something. Good thing we're on our way to a hospital. Tot, what's our ETA?

Tatertot: An hour before we hit atmo.

Good thing. We can clean this up a little and get our patients ready for transport. Where's Doctor Alex?

Tillie: Ian socked him; he's sitting down with a lump on the back of his head.

Just us girls then. Okay, let's get moving.

*She returns to Upperson's bedside.*
Don't worry, Lin. Won't be long now. Hang in there for a little while more, and the doc on Beaumonde will take care of you. I promise. *Upperson smiles weakly, and sips some water as Zero cleans up the room.*

Tatertot: Are we gonna talk about what just happened?

Tillie: Naw, think we're just gonna clean up the sick.

******@****** fast forward past all the cleaning up, to save those with sensitive stomachs ******@******

*Zero returns to the cargo bay.*

Did you hear from Psyche?

Kate: Since the Wash is about to hit atmo it's safer to rendezvous dirtside. She can shuttle your patients directly to the hospital soon as you dock.

*Zero raises her eyebrow* Patients?

Kate: Heard the pilot and mech talkin' about Upperson and Spinebite gettin' so sick when they was cleaning up the mess. Complainin' all the way up to the bridge, sounded like.

Yeah, we've had a little unexplained vomiting.

*Zero and Kate look at each other and both exclaim:* The scotch!

He was in a kind of trance, just sitting stock still, and then he got very violent and reckless. Disobeyed orders, shot up his room --

Kate: -- and my men --

-- and your men, and then after we thought he was safely tranked he got right up off that table and put a gun to my head. And then he spewed -- well, you heard the girls. Wouldn't have believed any one man could have produced that much mess. It was something horrific.

Kate: The getting right up off the table part don't sound familiar but the rest of it does.

Time to get you and your men secured. Don't want you rolling around hurting yourselves during re-entry.

Tillie: Hey Cap'n. Spine and Upper are belted in their beds, and so is Alex; he decided he wanted to lie down too, keep his neck stable.

Let's get strapped in. Tot, we're ready. Get us on the ground.
