A dog with a broken leg – Part 2

Doctor, there is an angry man waiting in the lobby with a dog.

What’s his problem?

I don’t think there is anything wrong with him. It’s his dog, it’s got a busted leg. 

Tell him I am not a vet. We don’t do animals here.

That’s what we have all been trying to tell him. But he told us that you owe him and he wants to cash out his IOU on the dog. Something to do with some war that both of you fought in. The Ascen something or rather.

The Ascension wars?

Yes, thats right. The Ascension Wars. He said something about pulling you out from a burning spaceship in the nick of time just before it exploded. I didn’t know you were in the air force Doctor? Coming to think of it, when were we ever at war?

That’s a very long story nurse. Besides that happened 250 billion light years from Earth.

250 billion light years from our planet! What are you talking about Doctor? You’re starting to talk like that nutcase.

Let’s all try to be professional about this. And let’s leave name calling aside for the moment nurse – could you kindly show Darkness and his dog in please.
