"Rachel, can I talk to you a second...outside?
..Exucse a second, Ariel."
*Caaaclick*
"What's up? Did I say something wrong?"
"Give me that."
"Don't you dare rip those papers. I only made one…
*Sthhhrrrriiiieaaaattt*
"Nooo. How could you? That was....now how are we going to Merge?"
"Merge?
Rachel, we are not doing anything of that sort.
Tell me, 'What do you see in there?'"
"I see a key."
"Well, I see a grieving mother just wanting to go home. And as a Nurse; we all spoke an oath saying we will take the best care to every patient possible. Heal them.....and send them on their way."
"And I took an oath never to pass up on an opportunity."
"Urrrrghhhh."
"You care about the one life. I create breakthroughs that will help millions."
"What if it doesn't work?"
"But what if it does?"
"You.....errrggggg....Get that out of your head."
"But what if we never see her again? Then it will be too late. We help fix her ship, and off she goes."
"Do you know who you're sounding like?"
"What?"
"...A human."
"Lin, we are humans. That's the whole point we came to life for. We came to life to….."
"No.
We didn't come alive for our prejudices, but for our smarts. I am a walking, talking, patient dummy; created for one purpose and one purpose only. To help the sick, and heal the Ables."
"Then what was my purpose? I am stepping in their shoes too."
"As Rainbow said; you all are their to 'help'; not replace…..not take over…..and not 'change.'
*Knock, Knock, Knock*
"Girls, you might want to bring a mop...…and maybe a bucket with a few wipes."
"How long should she have to suffer to get what we want? We may not physically be putting our hands on her, but it's all the same.
So, can you please put aside your pride of making the greatest discovery, and use your skills to help me?"
".....In all the name Science...…..what do you need?"
"Thank you."
"......Could you also bring a new shirt for me?"
"I'll....delete my research and go pick up a mop instead of a keyboard."
"Thanks."
"Sorry if I couldn't be of more help."
"Ariel, your days of helping are over. It's time for us to help you."
"But as I said, 'I don't know how much help you can be.'
You may be the first people who understand me and not think me a lunatic, but besides that, you can't fix my ship."
"Back with the mop and bucket.
Couldn't help swinging by Jalapeno's room cause it was on the way, and what lovely music I heard.
Nobodies there, but that did not stop the wind instruments. The Fans were kicking, and pushing air through all the reed free instruments; making them play.
Wish Jalapeno was able to do that with the piano, but...…"
"That's it."
"That's what?"
"What is?"
"We can't rebuild your ship; but.....we can build you another one."
"Where?"
"...Here!!!
….The Gas broke the glass from a few of the Specimen tanks; flowing the water all over, but they should be big enough if combined to hold a massive amount of people."
"Or….little people."
"We could use the straps from the Beds as your seatbelts, and...…."
"What about the firepower?
Do you have Elwins number?"
"We don't need it.
We can place fans and Instruments behind the back of the ship, and place a panel separating the…."
"A musical ship!!!
Maybe a bit of classical music, or soft Jazz..or whatever. The music stops playing, you stop; but.....we would need a playlist.
You focus on that, we'll build the ship."
"And here I thought you were just a Nurse."
"I told you. I help.
We can use your research, and everybody elses skills to get this up..and off the ground."
"But what about…."
"The obstacles? We can tear a few of Jacklyns shirts apart and weld them to the outside of the tank. It won't create a barrier, but the stretchiness of it will also keep you together."
"Like a magnet."
"This sounds stupid. Now I wish I didn't leave the school."
"Ariel?"
"I know Dark magic is never safe.....but right now...…I would definitely feel safer with it."
