RanDread: Close Quarters [Episode 2331]

by Kender

Hibiki awoke fairly dazed by the remnants of the drugs in his system and the nagging feeling that something had happened. he had gotten up, ate breakfast, did some maintence on his Van-type and had Dita's lunch. Then had come some more work on his partner, at least until Barnette had...

Oh yeah, he'd been shot. By Barnette. And it was an accident. In fact, she was being kept locked up to keep her from shooting any more of the crew. (And to keep her safe from her unintended 'victims', none of whom had been too happy to be either malleted or shot.)
