Return to the canyon

Doc looked around for a landmark, something he recognized.

Turn left, you fool.

Doc decided it would be impolite to argue. Turning left he came to the edge of the cliff and looked down to find the sudden realization of just where he was. "I don't want to be here. These guys are really weird."

Shut up, you fool. We need to find out what happened. ( Read more... )

"Oh, do we ever," Spike chuckled bitterly, "but unlike yours, my AI isn't just a simple infestation of my helmet. He's a microchip implanted directly onto my skull. The only way to remove him to cut my head open and dig him out."

To prove his point, Spike removed his helmet and brushed back the hair covering his right temple, showing Doc a thin, white, surgical scar.

"Jeez," Doc could definitely feel sympathy for that situation. Though he did admire the suture work. It was much cleaner than anything he had ever managed. "I think that's a violation of the Hippocratic oath. At least the scar doesn't look bad."

You foolish fools will soon realize your folly. O'Malley did not like being ignored.

"No shit Sherlock. It doesn't help that the AI's considered faulty and was supposed to be deleted to begin with."

"I'm not faulty! I'm just not the kind of AI that they wanted."

"I don't want you either! You're absolutely worthless to me! What do you do for me except whisper lewd suggestions in my ear, embarrass me, and take over my body so you can fuck the first thing on two legs that walks by!"

"I do not fuck the first thing on two legs that walks by! ...It has to be sexy too."

"Oh for the love of god! If I could rip you out of my skull without killing myself, I would do so in an instant!"

Doc flinched. He didn't understand why people kept fighting. Everything was better when people got along. "I see." He said uncertainly. Everyone in this place needed counseling. Doc opened and clsoed his mouth helplessly.

Spike growled and rubbed his temples. He was so emotional lately... god damn he needed to get away from Cypher.

"I'm sorry," Spike apologized after taking a few calming breaths. "I shouldn't have flipped out like that. I'm just... so frustrated anymore."

"No, it's ok." Part of his psychology training had covered people stuck together for extended periods of time. "You two sound like your under a lot of stress. That's when I do yoga." Doc tried to be helpful.

"Please," Spike chuckled, shaking his head. "If I were to do that, Cypher would just twist the positions into something sexual."

Mmmm... I bet this guy's really flexible...

"In fact, he's already doing it," Spike sighed, lightly banging the heel of his hand against his temple.

"Oh." Doc thought for a moment. "Have you tried meditation?"

"With an AI in my head? My mind may be cleared, but he won't shut up."

"Hey... that hurts. I'm not that bad..."

"You are too."

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Are not."

"Are too."

Doc opened his mouth to say something about private space like he'd been taught in school but then realized these guys had no private space. The bickering really bothered him but he couldn't think of anything to suggest which bothered him even more. This is why I'm just a medic. "Has anything changed to make the frustration levels in your life go up?"

"Yes," Spike sighed, and dropped against the ground. "Actually, I was on my way to deal with it, but then I got sidetracked and..." he sighed again, raking his hand through his hair. "I have a really big headache now."

Wyoming could get rid of your headache~! Cypher mentally sing-songed.

-If I could find him...-

"I think I have some aspirin." His brain dealt with the part that seemed to eprtain most to his job, then the sidetracked part of the sentence occurred to him. "Am I holding you up?"

"No no... It's okay. Wyoming can wait. I'll take the aspirin though."

Why don't you get him to do that rub thing that Wyoming did? Worked better than any medicine ever did, didn't it?

-...Promise not to do anything perverted?-

Scout's honor.

"Mmm.. hey Doc?"

Doc was pulling out the bottle of aspirin. "Yes?"

"Do you know any other... remedies for headaches?"

"We know this guy, who can cure headaches by rubbing this one spot on the back of the neck. It works better than anything we've ever taken before. It was like heaven."

"If you're okay with it, of course."

"Sure." Doc shrugged. "I'm not sure if the one I know is the same but I can try."
