Holodeck; Part 4
"Katherine! I thought you left the 'Deck off this time!" Blip fussed.
"I did... I really did! Karr must've tripped over the switch or something..." Katherine
argued.
The Grendel was totally confused. He had never seen this part of the world before!
And lo, a baby norn, fresh for the beating! Confusion turned to joy as he edged closer to
Karr.
Jenna saw what was happening and jumped in front of Karr. "No!" she shouted, and
gave the Grendel a big smack. The Grendel shouted in pain.
"Katherine," whispered Susan, "are you positive those genes didn't work?" Katherine
stood by awe-struck. Her experiment wasn't a total waste after all! Jenna was showing
signs of real maternal instincts.
"grah oooogh" said the Grendel. Was he going to let a wussy little norn beat the tar out
of him? He was made to be strong, while the Norns had simply been bred to be cute! He
punched Jenna. Jenna cried out in pain and raised on her haunches. This made her really
mad. There was no way she was going to let him hurt her son. She smacked him so hard,
she fell over. So did the Grendel. The Grendel decided this was too much trouble just for
an easy smack on a baby norn, so he ran out of the room. Jenna gave a giggle.
"Push yes grendel" she shouted triumphantly. "Grendel run norn"
"Is it me," commented Blip, "or is this not a good sign of things to come?"
"Who cares!" Katherine spastically said. "That Grendel is loose in our house and we
have to find him."
"Oooh, that's right." Susan replied.
Meanwhile, the Grendel had wandered into the kitchen. He took a quick look around,
and, seeing no Norns, decided that he might as well explore. He found a table, much like
the one in the kitchen in the hatchery. There, on the table, were a few small bottles. He
picked one up, opened it, and took a drink. It tasted a little like hooch, only different. He
took several more drinks, and started to feel really good! As he was (trying) to walk
across the floor, Someone else came in. It was Katherine's mom, but the grendel didn't
know that. He stood, looking at her. Would she hurt him? No, she didn't hurt him. But she
did make a very loud noise.
"Is he in there?" Asked Blip. He and Karr were standing outside the bathroom.
"Nope." answered Susan. "No sign of the grendel."
Then they heard Katherine's mom shout. "KATHERINE! I WANT YOU RIGHT
HERE, RIGHT NOW!"
Katherine poked her head out. "I think we found him" she said. Everyone got out of
the bathroom and filed into the kitchen.
Katherine's mom pointed to the Grendel. "What is that thing, and why is he drinking
my bourbon? I was going to make bourbon balls with it!"
"Th-that's a Grendel, it's from Creatures." Katherine stuttered.
"HOW did it get in MY kitchen?" demanded Katherine's mom.
"M-My latest invention brought it here accidentally. I-It's called the HoloDeck, and it
links Creatures to earth, so we can play with Norns here...." Katherine explained. But she
knew this was not going to go well.
Katherine's mom looked at Blip, then Susan, then Katherine. (Luckily, she didn't catch
Jenna or Karr, because they were hiding behind Katherine.) Then she calmly stated. "Get
that grondel, or whatever you called it, OUT of my kitchen. Then come back here."
Katherine and Susan picked the Grendel up (It was so drunk, it didn't mind.) and
carried it to her room, silently. They then placed it on the HoloDeck, and beamed it to
Albia. Then, they locked the Norns inside Katherine's room and marched into the kitchen
once more, awaiting their fate.
When they got there, they overheard Katherine's mom on the phone. "Right, 111,
Firebreak road. Patient's name, Katherine Riggs. Reason? Creatures Addict. You handle
those cases, right? You've done plenty of them? Good. G'bye." Then Katherine's mom
walked into the kitchen. "Katherine," she said, "I hate to do this, but you leave me no
choice. You need to get over Creatures! I called the insane asylum. They're coming over
to pick you up."
Katherine didn't believe what she heard. "You-YOU'RE SENDING ME TO THE
FUNNY FARM?" She shouted.
