Chapter Nineteen – Last Minute Preparation

By the time Eric awoke the following morning he had come to the conclusion that Jixyl had probably brought his current situation with his girlfriend upon himself, on account of the way he had messed with that Natalie lass’s feelings during The Nivlax Festival. ‘It’s probably just bad karma teaching Jixyl a lesson,’ Eric told himself in a blatant attempt to absolve himself of any blame. This attempt at acquitting himself from guilt wasn’t entirely successful, however, and Jixyl obviously picked up on this over breakfast as he felt the need to give Eric a pep talk.

“Look, if you’re still worried about the fact that you’ve probably split me and my lass up then forget about it,” Jixyl very generously remarked. “Don’t worry about it. I’ve moved on from the fact that you’ve probably split up me and my girlfriend. In the grand scheme of things, what matters now is saving the Earth, not the fact that you’ve probably split up me and my girlfriend.”

Eric couldn’t help noticing that for someone who had allegedly moved on from his current relationship difficulties, Jixyl seemed very keen to mention the aforementioned difficulties at every available opportunity.

“Ar, right. Well I’ll try to focus on saving the Earth, then,” Eric agreed.

The first step in Eric saving the Earth involved him going to the Biological Research Department at the nearby Fyraling University Of Advanced Science to get implanted with the Telix-17 virus.

Not long after Jixyl and Azleev had discovered the predicament Earth faced, they had by chance bumped into an old school friend named Stymer who had been working on a top secret project aimed at providing the Fyralings with a way to defend themselves in the event that the Femlings were ever to decide that Fyra was the next planet to merit elimination as an ‘act of kindness’ under the Quality Of Life proposal. When Jixyl mentioned to Stymer the twisted plans the Femlings had for Earth, Stymer had thought it the honourable thing to do to mention the Telix-17 virus his research had created and explain the possibilities this presented to the inhabitants of Earth for a chance of survival.

Jixyl and Azleev had then passed on this information to Eric, which was why he was now on his way to Stymer’s research laboratory. Azleev had an important lecture that morning so Jixyl was Eric’s escort for the trip. Before long they were at the lab and Jixyl knocked on the door. Seconds later Stymer appeared and invited them into the lab.

As Eric entered the lab however, his excitement suddenly disappeared, to be replaced by an attack of paranoia. “I’ve just thought,” he announced, “what happens if I’m not immune after all and I die as well?”

“Well you are immune so that’s a daft question,” Jixyl answered.

“Yeah, but what happens if for some reason my anti-bodies don’t work properly and I catch the disease and die?” Eric hypothesised.

“Look, man. Don’t stress,” Jixyl replied, tetchily. “Humans are immune. That’s all you need to know.
