[The screen is showing a very anxious little boy. He doesn't use the comms very often for just anything at all - no, Takeshi's all about being practical, using it for when he has a question or something to that effect, or maybe threatening somebody. So it's no surprise that he's kinda serious right now. Like he's working on summoning up the courage.]

Um... I dunno if - if it's bad to ask right now, but... Uhhh... I wanna... talk to some doctors...

I'm not hurt! I'm okay! But - can you - check my head? 'Cause at home... I had a chip. It's called a chip, my dad said. They put it in my head, and it makes people's heads a'splode. I don't think it works no more, 'cause - 'cause I talk about stuff I shouldn't talk 'bout, and I'm okay still, but I don't want my head to a'splode. Someone said I need to see if it's okay. So I am!

[A pause.]

I'm okay, though! Heder - Ned - don't worry.

[Because it's TOTALLY NOT A BIG DEAL

RIGHT? RIGHT. 

oh lawdy, child.

Suddenly the camera turns to a panda bear, sitting on Takeshi's second bed, chewing quietly on a stick.



He looks at the camera, pauses, and then goes right back to his task.]

And!! This is Hoi Hoi! Please don't shoot him! He's a nice bear. He just likes hugs. I gotta find bamboo for him. I think he'll like that more than the people food he eats.

Why the hell did they put that in your head?

[And he's not touching the panda thing okay.]

[elvenking]

[This sounds awful, but...yeah, medical personnel will get it sorted better than he can.]

There is plenty of bamboo in the gardens, pinig. I should very much like to meet Hoi Hoi.

[throwsdown]

They don't like when we talk about the room.

So they make sure if we try to talk - if we talk 'bout the room - someone said it goes ka-blooey! And it does.

But it didn't do that here. I think it doesn't work now.

[throwsdown]

[He smiles big at that.]

Hoi Hoi would like to meet you, too! He's really nice.

I gotta show him the bamboo... He'll be so happy...

video

[elvenking]

I have never seen a bear of his like. Come to the garden with him and I will show you the bamboo and introduce myself to him.

[oh my GOD]

You need to come to Medbay and see Doctor Brink, all right?

voice;

[handelaar]

Should've asked -

[WHEN YOU FIRST GOT HERE WHAT THE HELL, CHILD. Don't worry his flat pasty ass.

But he's still carefully trotting around everything Takeshi, and so he cuts himself off. Takes a breath. Just. Regroups and all that shit.]

Who said. That you need to check.

[darkforce]

[bad thoughts bad thoughts bad thoughts. because this is familiar. this is something he had to deal with for the first ten years of his life. an explosive chip only ever means one thing-]

...are you a slave?

Voice

[throwsdown]

[Dude, but - ]

- who's Doctor Brink?

Is he good at fixeding - fixing people's heads?

voice;

[throwsdown]

[He frets a bit at telling Netherlands, because... he doesn't want him mad. He doesn't, not after all the stuff that's happened. But he doesn't show it.] Mr. Edgeworf... I told him once and he said I need to go to the doctor. So they can look.

Just 'cus that's safe, and it's... good to be safe.

[throwsdown]

[He's quiet for a moment.]

A slave? What's — wassat? A slave?

video

[throwsdown]

'Cuz he's a special bear! From home.

I can come to the garden; you're gonna be there? You will?

THREADJACK HA

[sweetmotherofgod]

Really? That's your question?

video;

[sweetmotherofgod]

[NOW you're mentioning this just now???

you little shit]

Just so you know, that never works. That "don't worry" thing.

[darkforce]

A slave is- [okay. breathe. he can do this.] It's someone who belongs to another person. Somebody they treat as property, who they can force to do anything they want for them.

They use chips like yours to make sure they don't run away.

voice;

[handelaar]

[This guy is totally oblivious to any child-fretting happening. Oops.
At least when he speaks he sounds reassuring.]

That's good. He's right - y'need to go.

HOW DARE YOU but no hi :>

[handelaar]

Yeah.

[That's it that's the tag. Flat and matter-of-fact.]

video;

[chromosomes]

What?

[ no just

WHAT ]

video

[askedtobe]

[ welp. that's somewhat TERRIFYING. ]

Who actually put a chip in your head?

video;

[fallasleep]

[ ... They have kids on this ship. Roy rubs at his eyes, and hisses out a breath before he switches on the communicator. ]

Hey. [ Look what's behind him: medbay. Yay? ] That's an interesting bear you have there. He's come pretty far from home, hasn't he?

[ He's not even going to think about a kid with a chip in his head jesus. ]

Video

[whynotzoidberg]

[The fact that the kid has a chip doesn't even phase Zoidberg. He just hears "I wanna talk to some doctors" and here he is.

He looks fairly nonchalant as he looks at the screen, poised in an almost professional manner.]

Sure, I'm a doctor. I can look at your head maybe.

video

[elvenking]

Of course, pinig. Come whenever you like--after having your little head seen to!

[hypospray]

[ You've got to be kidding him who puts chips in tiny kids' heads. Simon may have already said something, but kids can be stubborn creatures and— it never hurts to say it again. ]

Kid, you should have told one of us before now. Doctors can't help if we don't know something's wrong. [ A beat. ] Dr. Tam's right though, Dr. Brink specializes in heads and brains and fixing them.

[sweetmotherofgod]

[NETHERLANDS PLS]

Does it matter? It's pretty solid advice.

[handelaar]

I know.

[That's... why it matters... if it's possible to sound both confused and matter of fact, he's doing it.]
