It had started out as a normal day (as normal as days ever start in the Sphere). The Wilderness had shifted to accommodate a village of thatched huts and one unfortunate soul had a run in with a poisonous frog or lizard of some sort. Personnel from medical had been called upon to resolve the matter and, in the end, Lezard had chosen Simon for his experience with hands on medicine and Genius for his ability to analyze chemical compounds.
Initially, Genius had whined about having to go down to the hot, sticky, techless environment that the Wilderness boasted. A combination of encouragement to test his new on-site analysis equipment and threats of being turned into a banana slug (yet again) managed to convince him to go down without too many more complaints.
Once they arrived at the third floor, the two began to set up shop in one of the small huts while two Adventurers volunteered to play paramedic and fetch their unfortunate poison victim.
"I am telling you, doctor-friend, there is no reason we had to come down here! Those Adventurer guys could have brought the guy up to Medical, no problem. Now we have to be all sweaty when we work." Genius shook out his hands and made a face, then slapped at his neck where a mosquito landed. "And bugs! Lots of bugs! We could get malaria."
"It will be fine, Genius." Simon said, fighting the urge to roll his eyes. He had become somewhat more accustomed to the man while treating him, but the lack of grace under pressure could still be wearing on one's patience. "Besides, the change in pressure that takes place in the elevator could be detrimental to how fast the poison passes through the blood stream. We had no choice but to take action."
"HE IS A MAN OF ACTION."
"Hey, you don't need to repeat yourself, I get it. Noble doctors, yeah yeah. But hey, how did you do that booming voice thing? That's a neat trick."
Simon tossed a bewildered look Genius's way. "You mean that was not you?"
"HE IS A MAN OF HONOR."
"Ahhh, that's a good one! You nearly got me." Genius said while wagging a finger. "Come on, 'fess up! You're some kind of ventriloquist, right? Who's related to the guy who does all those voice overs for movie trailers?"
"I promise you, Genius, that was not-"
"HE IS A MAN OF DUTY."
"...Okay, saying I do believe you on the principal that I don't think you can do two voices at once unless you have some sort of strange alien larynx you aren't telling me about. Then where is that coming from?!"
1/2 I apologize for this not at all serious prompt.
