  Hospital operating theater suite

  (Pluto time) 77:07 hours early afternoon of 153 rotation hours

  She moved on a pair of two naked feet across the hard surface of the operating theater suite into the dressing tube.

  The door closed with a hiss. She reached and lifted a single re-breathing mask from the lonely hook inside the dressing tube, placing it over an entire face. The air breathing mask protected the eyeballs, the nose holes, the mouth, and both the earlobes from the spraying liquid and then it recycled the exposed carbon dioxide molecules directly back into a set of oxygen breathes for a pair of her healthy lungs. She didn’t close her eyelashes, enjoying the display of vivid colors on the three walls and shoved the hook back into the hard wall surface with a naked palm.

  The ceiling frame slid open with a soft sound of ping.

  However, noise was soundless in outer space.

  The outer space molecules swiftly drifted down from the stars and invaded her single dressing tube as the four hard surface walls danced and glittered in live movement. The four walls were made of plutonian volcano lava.

  The lava from a plutonian volcano swiftly spilled over onto the land as a set of ground level ‘cool flames’ without a set of ugly gray colored smoke-type plume atmosphere ash of planet Earth or planet Mars. The ground level ‘cool flamed’ lava swiftly spread over the entire landscape of planet Pluto. When the ground lava ran into and poured over any type of oxygen filled atmosphere, it hardened immediately like a piece of rock instantly.

  However, the scientists of planet Pluto had learned that the hardened lava also immediately morphed back into a wiggling liquid state of ‘cool flames’ when the outer space molecules touched a tiny fragment or a large slab or a tall building structure of dried lava.

  She extended both her arms even with the hard floor, spreading a set of naked feet over the floor with a smile inside the breathing mask at the familiar dance moves. The lava leaped from the first wall without hesitation, jumping at any organic object as the second wall layer of more wiggling lava danced and tossed upon the same organic object, the naked female.

  The lava swirled from the wall through the air in the colors of pink, red, blue, green, and yellow sparkles. It danced and twirled around the female, adhering to every part of her naked skin.

  She giggled from the tickling sensation over her body, except where the protective face mask covered a face. She felt the overall warmth as the lava heated her body from the coldness of outer space. Her skull hair formed and fossilized into a long ponytail of sparkling lava too. The hair follicles breathed like the outer skin as the lava finally formed a complete lava body suit of her naked body.

  She shifted her arms and wiggled her fingers, feeling the freedom of the pretty lava body suit that covered her body. She inhaled fresh air inside the face mask, exhaling out all the new carbon dioxide molecules.

  Then the interior chamber of the four hard rock-like walls inside the dressing tube came alive and danced in tones of pink, red, blue, green, and yellow as the wiggling set of live lava molecules stuck and danced over the four walls, onto the flat floor, and the exposed edges of a missing ceiling. Then the dressing tube shifted up in silence and floated up towards the stars with the lava-covered female.

  Cold and black outer space

  101st floor level of the rooftop

  77:09 hours

  The dressing tube halted with a smooth move on top of the rooftop of the tallest building on planet Pluto as the wiggling lava molecules spilled and drained over the rooftop, creating a walkway for the lava-covered female.

  However, the female stood in place, feeling the flow movement below a set of new pretty lava-covered shoes over her two naked feet. The wiggling lava molecules shifted ahead like a walkway and moved her stationary lava-covered body forward towards an open pit, without instruction.

  The open pit was located in the center of the rooftop of the tallest building on Pluto which had been designed like a square shape of empty space, missing the roof tiles and paint.

  The rooftop was squared shaped and perfectly flat across from one side to the other, except around each square edge there were three more exposed dressing tubes of sparkling lava molecules. The dressing tube showed a walking doorway also, without a person.

  Around the each edge of the square shaped pit, three different sized lava body suits of males that were decorated in the same pink, red, blue, green, and yellow lava particles stood guard at each corner.

  The moving walkway of the wiggling lava halted with the female on top at the last empty edge around the square shaped pit.

  Interior of the operating theater

  77:11 hours early afternoon

  A solo table of pretty pink, red, blue, green, and yellow hard stone stood on a set of four matching stone legs in the middle of a similar painted square room of hard lava particles. A naked child rested on her stomach in the middle of the stone table, without a warm blanket. Her skull was sandwiched down between the table and the hole, where her face dropped down through the table, wearing a protective face mask around the eyeballs, the ear holes, and the nose holes also. The face mask allowed the carbon dioxide molecules to flow around the face and then converted it back into oxygen breathes. The child was sedated for a medical procedure, looking peacefully asleep on her tummy.

  The open squared shaped rooftop was one hundred stories high into the night sky and exposed to outer space, inviting zillions of outer space molecules. Each outer space molecule rapidly drifted down from the bright stars and invaded the squared room of the operating theater. The hard coated lava walls of pink, red, blue, green, and yellow started to move and wiggled into a new dance.

  Then the invading outer space molecules caused the table of stone lava to wiggle and stretch the pretty individual molecules over the nakedness of the child as the lava particles encased her body in a warm blanket of sparkling pink, red, blue, green, and yellow lava bites. Her naked body and the stone table became one, without harming the sleepy child. The naked eyeballs could see an outline of a tiny rump of her buttocks and the tiny deep scoop of her body spin.

  The dressing tube door opened.

  A new single lava body suit of pink, red, blue, green, and yellow stood as the moving walkway from the dressing tube shifted him across a floor of wiggling lava towards the operating table with the lava covered sedated child.

  The walkway halted with the male on top in a parallel pose on the side of the table at the collar bone of the child as the male said through the face mask with clarity to the three lava covered bodies on top of the rooftop. “Dr. Mummery, the child is ready for transport. Is your medical team there?”

  On the rooftop, she stood in place at the corner of the pit with a smile inside the face mask with a set of eager and anxious nerves. “Yes, Dr. Taradiddle we are in position and available for the transportation process. Please begin.”

  Dr. Taradiddle moved and shifted one of the lava covered shoes down to a protruded lever on the wiggling floor, slowing pressing it down into a layer of hard concrete that formed the building structure which was located below a floor of wiggling lava molecules.

  Then a squared shaped concrete platform of wiggling lava that matched the empty pit on top of the rooftop slowly glided up from the hard floor through a set of the mechanic latches, lifting up towards the stars as a set of goopy wiggling lava clung to the table, the child, and the moving platform.

  The lava of Pluto only i
nteracted with itself. The molecule adhered to any type of exterior piece of solid metal, solid concrete, or solid human flesh as long as one molecule touched another molecule. Once the lava molecule hit an oxygen atmosphere, it would harden back into a beautiful display of cosmic creation immediately for beauty and functionality.

  The shaped squared platform with the operating table, the sleepy child, and Dr. Taradiddle stopped and filled in the empty pit on top of the roof, sparkling in pretty hues of pink, red, blue, green, and yellow lava molecules as the lava danced and wiggled side to side in happiness of the outer space.

  Dr. Mummery shifted and moved from the edge of the square and stood in front of the bone skull of the child. Every body part were covered in a pretty layer of wiggling lave particles over the entire body of child, except the rear of the hairy skull of the child. The hairy skull of the child faced the novice medial surgeon Dr. Mummery. The face of the child continued to rest on top of the wiggling table with the face mask down between the table and the hole as the child continued to sleep from the sedation medication for the upcoming operation.

  The male physician, who was opposite of Mummery around the operating table, scooted and stood at the wiggling lava covered naked feet of the child for observation purposes. The other two other male physicians moved ahead and stopped, standing at each edge of the square operating table in-between Mummery for any type of medical assistance.

  Taradiddle stood on the side of the table between the edges, saying with a stern face and a serious tone through the face mask to the other physicians. “Please be attentive and quiet! This is Dr. Mummery’s first surgical case. However, she will perform with both admiration and bravery. I have complete confidence in her medical surgery skills. For a brief explanation of surgery protocol, this is a zero gravity surgery procedure. Thus, we are all located on top of the roof with the stars, the moons, and the rest of outer space. A zero gravity procedure provides the greatest chance of survival and recovery at the same time for the medical patient. Are you ready, Dr. Mummery?”

  The operating table stood in place even with her chest. “Yes.” She stood in place, staring down at the wiggling lava on the hairy skull of the child.

  Taradiddle lifted and opened a lava covered hand which acted like a surgery glove, too. The object lifted up into the zero gravity of outer space. He reached and pushed the object to Mummery with a stern face and a serious tone. “This is the only surgery instrument that you will use for this delicate medical procedure. One side is a knife to slice into the hair follicles and the skull meat which will expose the vicious tumor within the brain tissue. Let us precede one step at a time. Do you see the amber colored spot over the rear skull of the child?” He chuckled inside the face mask, watching her. The hands of Mummery slightly shook. He smiled. “You can’t miss it. The neon bright amber spot gleams through the pretty colors of the pretty hues of lava.”

  “Yes.” She stared down at the amber spot and lowered the blade down to the hairy skull of the sleeping child.

  He smiled inside the face mask. “Good. Use the sharp point of the knife and stab down through the lava gel. Then you must carefully slice around the outside of the glowing amber spot but do not slice the skull meat from her bone skull, only slice through the meat and the bone. We keep all the meat and the bone intact during the medical procedure. None of the child’s body parts are expensed. You cannot harm the child. She is deeply asleep. The lava is soft and pliable between your fingers too. This is one reason for performing a zero gravity medical procedure. The lava body suit protects both the patient and the physician.”

  She reached down and firmly stabbed the tip of the knife through the soft lava and hit the hard bone of the skull without noise as her fingers slight wobbled with nervousness of her first brain tumor operation.

  A small set of individual blood molecules slowly drifted up from the open hairy skull of the child and floated into the outer space in the formation of red colored bubbles above the slice of bone meat.

  Mummery gasped in shock with a set of parted lips inside the face mask, following each red colored bubble, back stepping from the table and the beautiful but weird phenomenon of gravity zero surgery.

  One of the physicians on the edge of the table lifted and activated a tiny wind fan between his two lava coated hands with a stern face at each red colored floating bubble.

  Taradiddle laughed inside the face mask. “Your assistant physician is literally fanning the blood bubbles in his direction as each blood molecule drifts into the air from the sliced skull meat of the child. He is corralling and collecting all of the escaping blood protein bubbles into an open bag. Once you have finished your sawing and implantation, well, you will see. I am jumping ahead of the medical procedure. However, I want to say with great confidence. The human body is a remarkable devise as it heals much quicker and faster with its own antibodies and blood molecules rather than with another’s human’s body parts and blood. How are you doing, Dr. Mummery? Please move back to the table and finish the medical procedure.”

  Mummery moved and stood in front of the open bone skull of hair and meat. She reached down and sawed the knife sideways around the glowing amber spot in an incomplete circle, lifting the knife from the skull in the air near a smile inside the face mask, “I am done, Dr. Taradiddle.”

  More blood molecules drifted up from the bloody knife into the air and the exposed skull meat of the child as the small fan paddle pulled the air currents with the floating blood protein bubbles to the assistant physician. The physician twisted and twirled the fan around the rear of the blood bubbles, maneuvering all of them into a stationary open bag which was located near a collar bone.

  The transparent bag glittered in an array of floating and bouncing reddish-white tones of polished blood protein bubbles.

  Taradiddle smiled inside the face mask at the nose profile of the female physician, “Excellent job, Dr. Mummery. Flip the flap which is still attached skull meat away from the glowing amber tumor. You will see an ugly sucker. The brain tumor appears yellow with a set of nasty looking worm-like twisted matching fibers. Use the other side of the surgery instrument. Flip the instrument over. The other side is an open spicket. Squeeze the tube and load the herpes virus directly down into the twisted fibers of the ugly yellow colored tumor of twisted fibers.”

  She flipped the instrument around inside her hands as the lava goo stuck to the metal without noise also. She reached down and gently shoved the tip of the spicket between the ugly sideways rows of twisted fibers, covering the tumor, squeezing out a batch of blue colored paste.

  Taradiddle smiled inside the face mask. “You didn’t have to work so hard, Dr. Mummery. The tumor will suck down the yummy blue liquid contents with ease. Then the blue paste will coat the yellow tumor and the gray matter of the brain along with the red blood. That is alright. Have you finished coating the tumor and the skull meat, yet? It is a very short procedure, less than three seconds.”

  She lifted up and held the surgery instrument beside a smile again, staring at the blue paste inside the ugly yellow brain tumor with a nod. “Yes. I have coated the tumor in blue colors. It spreads a very tiny bit around the skull meat and the original brain tissue, is that bad for the skull? Did I do something wrong, Dr. Taradiddle?”

  “No. It is correct. Now, this is the hard part of the entire surgery operation. You must insert every floating blood protein bubble back down onto the skull meat like stuffing a piece of meat between the two sandwich bread pieces, if you wish.”

  She looked up with a gasp and a worried brow through the face mask to see the nose profile of Taradiddle. “How is that even possible? All the blood is shaped in bubbles. If I accidentally pop one, then the blood will split into more tiny bubbles, floating around outer space.”

  “Yes, you are correct. You must not pop any of the blood protein bubbles. Let me explain one step at a time. First, flap the skull meat back over the blue colored pasty tumor. The blue paste will immediately adhere or glue d
own the skull meat back down over the yellow tumor with perfection.”

  She gasped. “But then I will not be able to insert any of the blood bubbles between the skull meat and the tumor for the healing process.”

  “Precisely, you will slowly and carefully move each blood bubble between the hairy and bloody skull meat and the wiggling lava goo. In essence, you will place or fan one blood protein bubble over the skull meat and then gently slap the lava goo over the bubble which will hold it in place.”

  She frowned, “That…that is going to take hours.”

  He smiled inside the face mask to her. “Yes, it is the hardest part of the zero gravity medical surgery procedure. However, you are staying on top of a soft lava carpet and you have plenty of time before the second scheduled procedure, this morning, Dr. Mummery. You wanted to be a brain surgery, remember?”

  “Yes sir.” She lifted and examined the surgery instrument into the face mask with a confused brow. “It’s clean. There’re no brain tissue or blood components on the blade. It is shiny and clean.”

  He smiled inside the face mask. “One of the benefits of zero gravity, everything moves around and off any object, even blood and guts. Please toss it back to me. We will sterile the metal anyways for maintaining a proper sanitary health procedure at our hospital environment.”

  She lifted and opened a palm. The object floated up into the air. She gently tapped it towards Taradiddle. He reached and extended a lava coated hand and caught the object with ease through the outer space air. She turned and nodded to the assistant physician.

  The assistant physician closed up the stationary bag on a collar bone and turned, pushing the object through zero gravity into her hands. Mummery held a set of cupped hands in front of her face mask, reaching and grabbing the bag with a sigh of more work. She gently hugged the bag into a breast and slowly squeezed the bottom of the bag.
