Delbert awoke to find himself curled up in a horrible position on the recliner the hospital had in there he stretched his body listening to his bones pop and crack he looked over at Amelia to see her awake and smiling weakly at him. "Amelia!" the fact she was awake and smiling without any medical treatment was astounding!
"H-Hey there sleepy h-head." she said in her usual joking tone. "How long have you been awake." he said taking her small hand in his. "N-not long." she smiled swallowing dryly.
Delbert brushed back her hair and kisses her, "Your sister must've ventured for food." "S-She did about t-ten minutes ago..." "How are the babies dear...do you know?"
"They're fine Del." She placed a hand atop his and moved it to her stomach where their developing infants were residing within their mothers womb. Delbert couldn't help but beam feeling them move as if nothing was wrong, just as if their mother was in perfect condition and their father didn't need to betray all he knew to save them...but how could they know...the horrors of the world were unknown to them. As he prayed it always would. "amelia dear I...have some ...business to attend to." He said regretfully looking at her saddening but curious expression,"T-To where darling? For the observatory? " "Erm I uh yes d-dear Y-You could say so."
"A-Alright Del be careful." She gently kissed him and laid back wincing every now and again as a baby moved. Delbert bit his lip and sighed getting up and leaving once more driving to the docking stations and took out a piece of paper with directions on it.
"The silver coin ..where in God's name is that..." Delbert stopped and looked at a schooner looking ship made of dark oak wood and blood sails, Delbert wondered how no one realised it was a pirate ship.
He slowly and carefully walked on making sure no one was around to see the well noted astrophysic going on to a bloody pirate ship in the early hours of the morn.
"Ah Doc! Thar ye are!" He heard silver's boisterous voice echo from the stateroom of the ship.
"Ah! ah, Y-Yes here I am." Delbert chuckled uneasily and blinked as Jim came from around the cyborg as well.
"James! what-"
"I'm here to help Doc." Jim smiled some.
"James if we get caught this could ruin your chances of getting into the academy. N-Not to mention sent to juvenile h-hall-"
"Chill Doc we're not going to get caught and I'm not going to juvie Silver has a plan."
Delbert turned his attention to the elder man, "Aye Doc t'is true it t'is , we're gonna sneak in on tha RLS Vertigo and steal her medical supplies.
A medical ship called the Vertigo Delbert mused to himself as he thought of Amelia and the thought of going to jail but she was worth it, she was worth a prison sentence and even the possible hanging that came with it. "A-Alright silver...l-lead the way..." Delbert sighed As Jim and Silver went to hoist the sails and fly the ship Delbert himself was given the job of navigation.
Soon enough they were coming upon a large white solar galleon with a large red cross painted on the side and the Terran empire's royal navy's crest.
"Doc ye go on and git it." "W-w-w-w-what?!" Delbert jumped.
"Ye look more tha type to be on thar then we do." Silver chuckles pointing between jim and himself. "B-But if I need a badge I-"
"Doc just take morph." Jim said as the little pink blob turned into a badge and clipped himself to Delbert's collar. "Almi-Alrighty." he stuttered getting onto the transport that teleported him and morph to the other ship.
He began to walk around looking for the underbelly of the ship where the medication was locked up. Once he reached his destination. "Halt!" a guard stated, "State your business!"
"Er I'm here t-to check on the medicine." "Name? Doctor Dob-" He stopped and looked down and looked at his badge, "Doctor Flatulaos..." Delbert gave an irked look at morph as the guard chuckled, "Go right in Doctor."
Delbert gave a curt nod to place upon a snooty air to disguise himself more, and walked in and began going through the shelves and shelves of different liquids.
"Lets see Q, R , S! ...Scarlet fever here it is Morph!" He picked it up and quickly stuffed the ironically red liquid into a hidden pocket of his overcoat and breathed a sigh of relief his Amelia would be saved and he wasn't going to jail. That was cut short when the alarm started going off and the thunder of guards feet was heard. Delbert jumped and dashed down the halls of the ship only to end up cornered by what seemed like the entire naval fleet.
"I uh this is a mistake I'm a-"
"There is no doctor Flatulaos." the guard from earlier growled, and delbert backed up trying to run as a shot was heard. Delbert yelped as he felt a sharp pain in his side and looked down at his side to see he was bleeding and a rather large shrapnel was sticking out of it, he kept going he had to get back to the ship. He began to feel light headed from the blood loss and poison said bullet possessed. He seen the transporter in site just a bit further thats all it would take, thats all. He felt another sharp pain in his back and fell, sleeping dart.
Delbert tried to get up and go on but his body became extremely warm and tired the world began to grow fuzzy as he drifted off to sleep.
