Chapter 3 - Getting to know you
" How will we be getting home?" The female heavy boomed. She was a giant, over six feet with bulging muscles and stringy hair the color of deijon mustard. She was also not someone to be kept from getting her way.
That paused the male medic. " Admittedly Fraulein, I have no idea." A general uproar arose. The female scout was raring to hit something, protests bursting from lips left and right, the Italian spy fingered a knife angrily.
" Frauleins! Frauleins please! I said zat I did not know, not zat I vould not try!" The medic shouted at the top of his lungs. The angry shouts died to discontented murmurs. " It is most likely possible for ze teleporter to be vorked in reverse, howevah it vill take some time-"
" We'll help. I don't want any funny business on this." The female medic gestured to herself and the female engineer, a strawberry blonde who couldn't be over five one.
" Excellent. Vith myself and our engineer on ze case, along vith two mor eof ze same minds it should take no more zan a veek."
" We hafta spend a WEEK with you freaks?!" The female scout roared.
" I hopa you do not expect to spend too mucha time around us. If find you particularly… unappetizing." The female spy sneered at the male, who glowered back.
" Ve have some extra bunk facilities down zat hallvay, but I pray Frauleins you vill not be strangers, I vould luff to test certain factors uf your bio-"
" My team are not your guinea pigs, Doctor Frankenstein. No one's testing anything but me." The female medic glared, while the male seemed thoroughly put off.
" But Fraulein you und your companions haf travelled across dimensions! Can you imagine the medical or scientific value uf somezing-"
" No one." Her voice dropped almost a full octave, and her eyes could have frozen lava. " I'm still waiting for results on heavy's second heart."
" My what?" Their heavy pronounced, but the medic waved her hand impatiently.
" I suggest we start work on the teleporter immediately. "
" A brilliant idea, come, I shall show you my lab!" The male medic sped off to the medibay like a schoolboy released for christmas vacation.
" What about my hand?" The scout whined.
" Oh, just follow him and have him reattach it in zee medibay. You can't zhink you way out of a plastic bag, can you?" The male spy spat before stalking out haughtily. This entire business had absolutely no appeal to him, and he intended to stay well out of it.
And so, the various parties dispersed. All medics and engineers went to the medibay to see the teleporter, some of the women ambled off in the direction the medic had indicated there were extra bunks, but others decided to ramble aimlessly.
They were in another dimension after all.
