Commander McTiernan had been about to respond when Knucklebiter cut him
off.
He put his paw to his belly area and turned his head away from everyone,, "BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKK!" sounded as he belched,,"yep, definitely need an antidote,,,". McTiernan fought back a gimace of discuss. "Er ... I can bring you
down to the medical bay and see what we can do for you, Mr. Knucklebiter."
The station's CO was not really sure how to handle the situation. He was
kind of hoping that the team would get right to work on their mystery, but it
seems that the belly of the ursoid had other things in mind.
