Doctor's Log
October 1, 2004
Flint will pay. I don't know how, but I will find a nonviolent way to make him pay. Psyche Out was also playing the mad doctor with me. I didn't know he could play such a good psychotic doctor, he even scared me. Maybe he wasn't playing. Maybe he really is psychotic and has just hidden it from all of us. Hmm. I'll have to think about that one.
Mainframe had dragged in some machine that we "hooked" Firefly up to. Actually, the machine didn't serve any purpose, but he didn't know that. He hadn't believed that I was "evil" until Flint showed footage of the duct taping incidents. Hopefully my patients don't find out about it. They're mad enough about it as it is. I don't know what they'd do if they knew that Flint showed the footage to a Cobra. Anyway, Firefly gave me a wary eye after that.
Psyche Out conducted "psychological experiments" while I "monitored" his physical reactions. That's what Flint slipped to Firefly anyway. I think he bought it. I guess he'd seen too much of Dr. Mindbender's experiments that he didn't want to take his chances with us. Even though there are federal laws against this sort of thing, he didn't seem to take into consideration that we wouldn't violate them. Oh well. He did talk a little bit though. Apparently COBRA's been supplying the Saudis with weapons off the black market, weapons that include stolen US and Chinese property. That isn't good.
We're leaving at 03:00 hours tomorrow. We're making a brief stop in Egypt before we proceed into Saudi Arabian territory.
Gung Ho was begging me to let him on the internet again. I knew all he wanted to do was check the singles site. I wouldn't let him. Mainframe got on for him later, but none of our ads had any hits. Oh well. It's not like I was hoping or anything. At least Beach Head and Gung Ho are going home tomorrow. Dusty's not too thrilled about being left alone in the infirmary. He's hoping that one of the other Joes has a freak accident and ends up in the infirmary with him. He better be careful on what he wishes for, sometimes you might get it.
D.C.'s not happy. I think he somehow knows that most of his "family" is leaving him. I'm sure that the other Joes will spoil him horribly while I'm gone.
Author's Note: Tomorrow's entry will be the last entry for a while. Eventually I'll do another Doctor's Log, but I want to do a different story before that. When I do write Lifeline's Log again, it'll probably be titled Doctor's Log II or something, just so that there's not so many chapters in this one. I'll give you a head's up tomorrow on upcoming Joe fics of mine. I will tell you that I'm thinking of eventually doing a Doctor's Log from Mindbender's perspective, but it won't be right away.
