"Prune Juice"

[ens_keraz 0]

Keraz obediently sat in McLean’s office waiting for the chief engineer to come in and discipline him for drinking blood wine in his department. Soon the chief walked into the office with the usual dementedly evil look on his face and said, “ The degree of your punishment will be based on your blood alcohol content”. Keraz had to use all his energy to hold himself back from laughing, he had drunk synthahol blood wine not the real stuff. Keraz left engineering and walked down the corridor to the turbo lift and stepped inside, “sickbay”. The lift soon arrived at the correct deck and Keraz walked out   and down the corridor into sickbay.  

 

     McLean had obviously already informed doctor Matthews because she was standing in the doorway waiting for Keraz when he got there. Matthews took out her scanner and pronounced Keraz to be alcohol free, “wait till McLean hears this” Keraz thought. Doctor Matthews tapped her combadge and informed McLean of the results but the chief did not seem phased at all and said something about Keraz cleaning the engines. Keraz said thank you to doctor Matthews and exited sickbay. After a few minuets Keraz walked into engineering hoping McLean had more important things to do then torment him. To Keraz’s surprise and happiness McLean was not in engineering. Keraz walked over to engineering’s replicator and ordered prune juice, a human drink doctor Matthews had suggested. Keraz found this drink surprisingly good and finished it in one swallow before returning to his console to continue his diagnostics.
