Research Bunny
19 November 2019
Anchorage, AK, United States
The guy outside LOCCENT looks as confused as any new recruit Tendo's ever seen. Seems a little old for a nugget, though. Maybe a misplaced tech.
"Lookin' for something, brother?"
The guy's shoulders slump. He points to the text on his shirt.
-Dr. Lightcap's Research Bunny
Please return to lab if found-
"No English, huh?"
Research Bunny shakes his head, points to his ear, shakes his head again.
"You're deaf?"
Bunny nods.
"Huh. Well, let's get you back to the doctor. You're in luck, I have to run some papers down to one of the other labs."
'Lead the way,' nods Bunny.
They round the last corner.
"Pietr! Where th' hell have ye been?!" yells Chuck Monkey. "We—Commander Choi."
"'ey, Chuck Monkey," greets Tendo. "Still not a Chucksicle?"
"Still not a Chucksickle. This guy, though—where were you?" She fluffs Pietr's coat. "We were startin' t' think you'd got outside 'n frozen!"
Pietr Bunny rolls his eyes and makes a few gestures.
"I can't let y' outta my sight."
More gestures.
Chuck Monkey's mouth shuts with a snap. She grabs Pietr's arm— "Have a nice day, Commander Choi." —and pulls him toward the lab.
He looks over his shoulder with an apologetic face and waves 'thanks.'
Tendo shakes his head.
