Late Night Conversations

2:45am

Kidney: Uh, Brain, things are getting a little full in here. I don’t know how much longer I can hold everything in.
Brain: Oh, kidney, you’re always the worrier. Just be creative with your storage. Check back in 30 minutes.

3:15am

Kidney: Yeah Brain, things are getting worse down here, We are at max capacity on both sides. I know this is against procedure, but we might need an overide and release pressure.
Brain: I will pretend you didn’t say that. We have never overidden the system. IF things are as bad as you say, we will simply disengage the sleep cycle. Liver, how are we doing, you almost done with processing?
Liver: Negative sir, Looks like it was Tiki Tuesday night, I’ve got a bit more to go and kidney is telling me he can’t fit any more. If I stop processing, I risk us all.
Brain:  Dammit! That’s not what I want to hear. I will disengage sleep cycle and release pressure. This will be fine, do nothing until you hear back from me.

3:22am

Brain, (to cerebrum): What news do you have, why are we not awake?
Cerebrum: Sir, I have made repeated phone calls and no one answered. I believe the burrito is hampering with our efforts. Everyone is assisting with digestion, we are un-responsive.

The phone rings, it’s kidney

Kidney: SIR, WHAT ARE YOUR ORDERS? We must act now if we are to protect ourselves! We are competely full and we now have a line just to get in. Did the sleep disengage work?
Brain: No… no, it.. did not work. I haven’t made a choice like this in 22 years but we must protect the system. Override approved.
Kidney: Affirnative sir, authorization code?
Brain: Tango, Zulu, Foxtrot, 9-6-bravo. May god have mercy on us all.

Kidney verifies code, looks at left kidney, the both hold up override keys, insert them into system and turn

Kidney: Sir, situation has been contained, pressure has been moderately relieved.
Brain: Let’s just hope we wake up before anyone sees us.
