“Settling into my office chair aboard Valkyrie, I was trying to decide whether it felt good to be back in command. Maybe I wasn’t fully in command, not yet, and really there wasn’t much commanding to do, while Skippy’s little elfbots fixed the ship. For sure I felt better. Whatever miracle drugs Doctor Skippy was administering to me, to help my brain and body heal, they were working. That assessment was not based only on my head feeling less fuzzy, I was able to  concentrate better, and I was flying through more levels of that annoying video game he insisted I had to play. While I was working on rewiring my brain, Skippy had been working to fix the ship, and on something else. “Hey, Joe,” Skippy’s avatar appeared on my desk. “I need to talk with you about something.” “I was just in your mancave a couple hours ago. Why didn’t you mention-” “Because at the time, I didn’t need to talk about it. Now the problem is getting out of control and it- Ugh, this is so embarrassing.” His avatar took off the ginormous hat and rubbed his shiny head. “I do not like hearing ‘out of control’ Skippy.”
