Grey bolts out of sight. The sound of a door slamming is heard.
Lypha: Fuck.
Solla: Well, if we do a rough estimate, we avoided a potential disaster with our lunatic for about twelve hours.
Lypha: This is not happening.
Koji: Sounds loik he barricaded himself inside the aft quarters. Oi’ll get moi tools.
Solla: Thank you, Koji. Lypha, please prepare a sedative.
Later…
Koji: He’s in there alright. Oi can hear him movin’ around.
Solla: Crew, on the ready. When the door falls, Koji and I will grab him and take hold.
Koji: On your mark, Solla.
Solla: Lypha, you must then quickly administer the sedative. Are we clear?
Lypha stares down at the syringe.
How many times has something similar to this been done to the Human in the past? How can I justify doing the same thing? This syringe isn’t just morphine. I’ve spit into it. There’s resentment there, and undeserved prejudice. Does this make me no better than those we’re fighting? Is this necessary? He’s only crazy and frightened. I’d probably do the same thing, if I were in his situation. Was it the crash when he fell that scared him? Or was it me talking about him like a lab rat in a senior thesis?
Solla: Lypha, I asked you a question. Are you ready for this?
Lypha: I’m…Fine. Hey, Solla? Is this really a necessary action?
Solla: I find it amusing you only question the actions you’ve been asked into. Koji, do it.
