It actually took a fair bit of effort to get the computer to give us access to Jerry again. It turns out that the quarantine crap gets taken seriously by the ship’s security systems once it’s engaged. We had to do a lot of de-flagging of different areas of the ship and a bit of a historical re-writing to some data to get the quarantine lifted, and Flynn and I both had to sign off on every last thing.

I wrote it all up in the log, though, so we were covered. I imagined the captain would probably laugh when he realized how much of an effort it had been for me and Flynn to actually get access to Jerry again. All because of some stupid quarantine nonsense.

“They should give us a medal for this,” said Flynn, with a hand hovering over the button to open the airlock door.

“They probably will. A medal in data security!”

“And a humanitarian one for getting Jerry back with us!”

I nodded. It seemed right to me. We probably would be rewarded for this work.

“Ready?”

“Couldn’t keep me away!”

Flynn pressed the button to open the airlock and the outer door whooshed open. We stepped inside and through the small portal window I could see the room beyond. Jerry was still on the examination table, sleeping.

“Here we go!”

The inner door opened.

“My God,” I said

“Fuck.”

I licked my lips nervously as we entered. The room felt so different to the rest of the ship, so alive. Outside of the medical bay everything was damp, cold, silent, fetid. But in there? It was what I imagine it would be like to step into the Garden of Eden. It felt so fresh, so vibrant, so alive, so... delicious.

Flynn hurried across the room to where Jerry was lying, me just a half-step behind him.

“Jerry, Jerry, Jerry,” said Flynn as he crouched down beside him, taking one of his hands between his.

I crouched down on the other side of Jerry, and mirroring Flynn’s moves I took his other hand between mine. I ran my fingers over his skin and the hair of his fingers, feeling his warmth.
