The Puissant Nurse Joy
I leave Miss Dahlia Ketchums’ house early the next day.
At my command the slave uses her power to teleport us to Nurse Joys Center on the other side of the gauntlet. I am pleased to see Joy again. She seems very accomplished in the area of customer service and she clearly has an excellent bedside manner. I press her with questions about PSYCHIC tm. She responds politely but cannot help me. I do not desist, however, and I draw looks of suspicion from the assistant chancy. Eventually Nurse Joy points out that some know-it-alls meet every day at the computers, right around lunchtime. I don’t have many credits to my name but I stop by the snack bar and put together some kind of breakfast. As I chew over the alien berry confection and wait for the crowd to arrive an interesting sight comes into view.
