[ Draft 4 ] Back on Schedule, but Not Enough Caffeine

Jul 21, 2009 12:05

[Since the passengers were all so distracted with their babies over the weekend, Meth has some good news!]

Sergei's is ready for use again, and the stairs between deck eleven and twelve are repaired.

If you do not know how to cook I suggest you find someone who does and follow their exact instructions if you wish to learn.

Do you have time to show me what you have?

[Hmmm. The parasite had been dealt with, there were no cases demanding AMU's attention.]

It is no inconvenience.

[Meth was there and looking around the clinic for AMU almost immediately after. Her limbs ached, her eyes stung, and her mind felt dull and hazy, and it all showed in the way she carried herself. She needed something soon or she was going to crash and fall behind schedule once more.]

Hello?

[AMU wheels out from the side room.]

Greetings Meth Rezza. We have several stimulants available. Do you have a preference for the drug family or associated side-effects? Also, do you have allergic reactions to any medication?

[She looks AMU up and down with some interest.]

No allergies. I need something that will keep me awake and alert longer. Nothing that will cloud my thinking. Something stronger than caffeine...that won't give me hand tremors either.

[You can examine AMU as much as you like, Meth.

Hmm, caffeine. So nothing as strong as a tropane derivative. Something that did not interfere with function, so no 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine. Nicotine, not strong enough. Perhaps a weak amphetamine, a step up from caffeine but not highly addictive.]

One moment.

[The robot accesses a locked panel; the interior is refrigerated, and lined with all sorts of medicinal goodies. AMU selects a wrapped bundle and closes up the panel, then goes to a non-refrigerated unit and obtains another.]

Tschat leaves. Chew the fresh ones; steep the dried leaves in hot water to drink. Discontinue and alert me if you experience an adverse reaction or if the effect is not to your liking.

[She watched AMU grab two bundles and reached for them automatically when they were held out.]

So...chew the fresh ones or make tea with the dried ones. Got it.

[Meth set down the package of the dried leaves and opened the fresh leaves. She sniffed at the leaves, then pulled one out and popped it into her mouth. It tasted sour and to be honest, not at all pleasant. Hopefully the effects would be worth the taste.]

[AMU has no taste buds. Sucks to be human, huh?]

Do not discontinue usage while on your work site, Renovation Head. Withdrawal symptoms are minor but could result in a dangerous accident, with no one on-site to call for help on your behalf.

[Euphoria and increased stimulation in 3... 2... ]

[Just like that, the weariness she'd been feeling, the hazy thought processes, were gone. She felt well, normal. Like she'd just gotten up from a night's rest. Refreshed and ready to get to work.

...and then she smiled.]

Understood. Thanks for the tschat. I can feel it working already.

[Now she was totally ready to start tearing up part of the floor in the temple. Energized, even. This was great.]

You are welcome.

[There had been no injuries to treat, but Meth's reaction to the tschat had been briefly interesting, for all that AMU didn't have sensors hooked up. It rather wished it could be there for the withdrawal, however, presuming she stayed on it for a long duration.

Oh well.]

[AMU only had to ask to hook up sensors. Meth had a healthy respect for people being able to do their job. Since nothing was mentioned, however, she began heading for the exit. Meth called over her shoulder as she left.]

I'll be back for more if I run out.

[...and then she was gone.]
