Office Hours

Dean Bristow's Professor Jerusalem's Office Hours.

The Professor has made himself at home in the small office with his name on it that he has not, to date, been seen in so much as once. He has his laptop open and is typing furiously, but the sign on the door reads 'Office Hours, the Professor is IN'.

Holding his head in his hands by this time and imagining the various tortures Dean Bristow was hopefully undergoing, Spider mumbled, "Come in?"

"Sir? It's about Coach Ash. It's my fault." The words tumble out in a rush after this confession. "I knew I should have hauled him into to the clinic Sunday. I didn't think he'd be allergic to the irrigator, it's programmed for basic human stock."

"... the... irrigator?" Spider blinked at him a few times. "Would you care to explain? And use small words - it's been a long morning."

"Sunday night, Coach Ash stumbled in, bleeding. He rents a cabin on my ship but we don't see much of each other. He said he'd been hit by a truck. I made him sit down and gave him first aid from my medikit. Cuts are easy: irrigate with basic anti-germ solution and then bandage. A few hours later, he was very noisy, but when I checked up on him, he said he was fine. But the words he used didn't sound like Ash at all. And then in class Monday, he was naked, and today...well today I would up half undressed to make sure Lisa could get out without having to undress."

Han takes a breath. "All I can think is that either he's allergic to the germicide or the truck did something. Either way, I should have just taken him to the school clinic. But, sir, he refused to go!"

"So... he was in an accident, refused official medical treatment and has subsequently turned into a complete pervert." Spider blinked. "... I'm going to kill Bristow," he muttered.

"If it helps, he thought it was Thursday when it was still Sunday. And he'd eaten a lot of something called 'Captain Crunch.' I think we still have the box if you wanted to test the crumbs for hallucinogens."

He looked at the floor like he'd rather be anywhere than here. "I'm sorry, sir. I just did the best I could at the time."

"So our options are head trauma or some sort of odd reaction to whatever antiseptic you used on him?" Spider sighed. "Find Dr. House or his associate, whatsisname. Tell them the entire story and tell them I'll be bringing Professor Williams along to the infirmary as soon as he's located."

"Yes, sir."

Han stood up, his face relieved. "At least you aren't asking me to barricade him in his cabin and watch him punch his way through my lady's bulkheads with that metal arm."

"Professor Williams will be professionally restrained," Spider assured him dryly. "I appreciate your honesty... and next time, even if someone refuses treatment, be sure to report the incident to the clinic."

"I will, sir."

Han left, heading for the clinic.
