*Dies*
I am very sick right now. I know I normally go through everyone's reviews and type a reply, which is fun. But right now I just don't have the energy, sorry. ;3;
This is the first time all day I've been able to move over to my computer without throwing up. URGH. I need to get better I have a test tomorrow! ;3;
Thanks everyone for any reviews you have given, I appreciate it! ^3^
Anyway. I'll do reply's next chapter.
Sorry if this chapter isn't up to normal standards. I'm doing my best given the circumstances right now.
…I really want to write a chapter at some point where they all get drunk or something… I probably shouldn't though. I cannot stress how out of character that would be.
Still though, the thought has been stuck in my head all day, that's maybe one for one day in the future for a very random chapter. XD
Hahaha, ignore me.
Enjoy~}}

Work diary: day 23

Greetings again headquarters.
I'm still keeping up the work diary project on time. I almost forgot again today, I was so tired after not getting much sleep last night, I almost fell asleep at my desk. It's been such a busy week, I really need a good night's sleep.
I don't think that sleep will come tonight though. -_-

So, this morning didn't go too badly. We were all pretty darn sleepy I think. Taruru yelling all night kept everyone awake. I know it's not his fault I probably would have screamed too if I had to become a substitute baby for a huge, hairy snow monster that smells of fish. v(o-o)v

Anyway, we finally reached the more suitable snow planet at about sunrise. It was really beautiful as we landed. The distant sun shone over the desolate ice land, lighting up the word and making it glow. So many shades of blue and grey and that beautiful, glistening white.
It was breath taking.
Not that anyone else noticed. You know what boys are like. They don't have the slightest respect for anything of beauty. I'm pretty sure half the time they all just want to destroy and fight things.

So anyway.
We landed down by this huge ice cave, it looked plenty big enough for the little family. Garuru told us all to go and get packed and ready, and to get our warm clothes on again. He said it was going to be difficult because we were going to need to steal Taruru away from the mother creature and fly away before she had the chance to attack.

I was pretty up for the mission, despite being so tired. I guess I'm kind of used to being tired. Back in medical university we had so many exams to study for, sometimes I would have to go weeks without sleep. I know it's not good for you to not sleep, you need to sleep every night to be at your best performance. But sometimes sleep is just out of the question.
I'd really like to sleep right now, but I'm on guard duty….um, more on that in a minute. I better explain in order otherwise I will confuse myself and make this report a lot longer than it needs to be. ^^;

So anyway, I was in my office getting ready and I was about to leave when suddenly Zoruru came and knocked on my door. I thought it was really strange, he never normally comes to me for anything. Last time he wasn't well he just hid away in his room all day and refused to come out.
He was all shaky and wobbly, saying he didn't feel good and was really dizzy. It was like he had vertigo or something, he couldn't even walk strait. I was really quite worried. I knew this mission was important though so I just told him to go and get some sleep. I thought maybe he'd just come down with a common bug or something and sleeping would help. I excused him from the mission and returned to getting ready.
I really should have stayed behind and checked him out properly. It would have saved everyone a lot of trouble later.
But live and learn I guess. :\

So back to the mission.

We opened the hatch to let the creatures out. Turns out they are a lot faster than we initially thought, they just zoomed out the door and into the cave. Who knew something thatbig could move that fast? o.o;

It was a long morning.

We spent ages trying to chase them down, but wearing big boots and running through the snow, we're not exactly the fastest creatures. Eventually we came up with a great plan to try and trap them in the back of the ice cave. Well…it seemed like a great idea at the time okay. We were cold and tired, the logic of three giant monsters verses three little Keronjins just hadn't quite sunk in with any of us.

We chased them into the back of the cave, then got trampled. Ouch, my head is still sore after that. Luckily us Keronjins have nice thick skulls, huh? Otherwise I'm pretty sure we'd have been frozen pancakes. Haha.

Taruru was still freaking out the whole time. Clearly he was not enjoying being a substitute baby. Although I have to respect his endurance, the leader told him not to attack any of the creatures, and he did exactly as he was told and didn't attack them. I think if I was in his position, I probably would have lost my mind by then.

We seemed to chase them around all morning to no avail, and everyone was just too tired to come up with a better solution. :\
It's not like we could just leave Taruru with them though.

Luckily, a miracle happened. ^^;
We were close to giving up and calling in to headquarters for assistance, when suddenly there was this earthquake. Or what we thought was an earthquake. Before we knew it, we were in the middle of a stampede. It was terrifying. Quick thinking from the lieutenant though, he materialized a force field around us and we managed to get out alive without being trampled by so many hugely oversized feet. ^^;

Long story short, turns out there was already a whole lot of the Yettitobblesaurs living on this planet. So the three we found wouldn't be alone anymore. Turns out maybe they're not as endangered as we thought. How great, huh? ^^

Anyway, the big mother that had Taruru found a group of little baby Yettiyobblesaurs that didn't seem to be with another mother, she immediately lost interest in Taruru and seemed to just adopt the little babys of her own species.
What a wonderful ending. ^^
We stood and watched as they all roamed off together into the distance as a great herd. It was a breath-taking site. It really was.

Taruru was ecstatic, he just kind of clung to the leader in relief. I think Garuru was so impressed with the boy for putting up with all that that he didn't even mind. ^^

So that was it huh? Enough drama for one day? I know I was ready to sleep by then.
But no.
Of course as fate would have it, our day did not end there.

So, remember a few entries ago when I said about Zoruru refusing to have his vaccination to prevent space Intulpatitias?

Guess what we found out was wrong with Zoruru? ಠ_ಠ

This is why people need to take their vaccinations!
Urgh.

So, space Intulpatitias is a fairly rare virus. Its something I remember us studying back in medical uni in my first year. I never thought I'd have to actually treat anyone for it though.
space Intulpatitias is a virus that causes people to act like…well they start acting like zombies. o.o;
It's a really weird virus.

We had Zoruru trying to attack us and "eat our brains". It was the strangest afternoon I swear. It was really stressful as well because we didn't want to hurt him or anything, I mean, it wasn't his fault he was acting like that and trying to attack us. It was the virus. So we couldn't really fight him off.

We spent a good deal of the afternoon trying to corner him in a room so we could maintain him without causing any damage. The problem was, he's an assassin. So he can disappear and walk on walls and create clones. Geez it was impossible to try and catch him. Worst part was, we were all tired and cold and fed up. I don't think anyone really had the energy for this.

The leader actually got caught. Zoruru had caught Tororo by his tail and was trying to bite him, but the leader fought him off, but he got pretty beat up in the process. I'm sure Garuru would have easily won if he didn't want to hurt his sick teammate.
I managed to patch him up though later, it was just a few cuts and scrapes. "Minor flesh wounds" he says, he's so brave. ^/ / /^

Taruru eventually came up with this ingenious idea….yeah, TARURU. o.o
I know, I was surprised too. Something useful actually came out of his mouth for once.

Anyway, Taruru came up with this ingenious idea to lead Zoruru out into the containment unit, where we kept the yettiyobblesaurs before. We noticed the other day that when out in the cold, his machinery starts to play up. So we managed to lead him into the containment unit and drop the temperature below freezing. It took a little while, but his machinery eventually shut off completely, un-able to work due to the cold.

I was really worried at first that we might have killed him, despite the fact Tororo insisted he would be fine when the temperature rose again. I checked his pulse and he was still breathing and everything. Just unconscious. I guess he can't function normally when his cybernetic side stops working.

So the next thing we did was tie him up in chains, for his own safety, but mostly for our own as well. Then we raised the temperature to normal again. It took him a little while to start working again, but when he did he seemed to wake back up. I have to admit, I was pretty relieved that he was okay.
He's a stubborn, grumpy, violent, and rather rude person. And he spent all afternoon trying to kill us. But he's still a part of our platoon. And he does have some nice traits. I wouldn't have wanted anything to happen to him.

So back to the current time I suppose.
We're taking it in turns to guard him. He's still suffering from the virus and thinks he's a zombie, but the chains seem to be keeping him contained for now. Just to be on the safe side, we're not letting him out of our sights.
Besides, he has a very high fever and I feel like I should probably stay with him and make sure he doesn't get any worse. :\

Tororo and Taruru are finding the whole thing hilarious, having the assassin tied up and mumbling about eating people's brains. I keep having to sternly remind them that this is a serious virus and not something to joke about. -_-
…in their defence though, I suppose it is a little amusing… heheh ^^;

Anyway, looks like I am in for a few days of looking after a zombie cyborg.
I offer you an unenthusiastic "yay". -_-
This is not what I thought I would be doing when I signed up to be an army nurse.

I'll update again as soon as possible.

Sincerely Pururu~
