Hello and welcome to my lab!
You did
go through decon, right? Okay, you can come in then...*sniff*
....have you had garlic? *sniff* with tapioca??...sorry,
but this nose knows.
Well, introductions
are in order. I'm Bertha Bloodhound, currently attending the Rover College
to get a degree in medicine. My major? Pathology.
.....Quit looking at me like that. Yeah, I study stiffs,
so?
....That doesn't mean I'm not a perfectly normal girl
with an IQ of 350!!!!
...Something tells me I shouldn't have said that, huh?
*sighs* well, in case you're wondering, I'm Professor
Hubert's niece. Y'see, my mama, Ann Bloodhound, was his sister. I say was
because when I was a pup she got hit by a car...
But let's not dwell upon the tragic, right?
WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT DECON THING??
Well, that would be your standard lab procedure
for entering a hot zone.
Biological hot zone, that is. My lab can't be sterilized,
we have too many loose pathological agents, so it's red zone space suit
area.
*shrug* Nah, don't worry, you're perfectly safe unless....PUT
DOWN THAT SCALPEL!!!!!!!!!!!
Hehehehe.
Just a little pathologist humor.
