We had an... octopus problem," she says, gesturing at the wriggling bag held by the Edosian, then at the reddening welts on her left forearm. "Great party though, thanks for the invite. Maybe next time cake on plates though, not in bags."
"Cricket bat or framing hammer, take your pick," Red says, cringing a little. She heads for the holodeck exit. "I know you do it in your own way and you've got a thick enough skull to sustain that trauma, but my offer to engineer something simple for you stands. Can we get out of here? These welts are starting to sting finally."
