"Doctor White," Carlos exclaimed, mustering the strength to turn and face the other hooded figure in his crew. "I was just jesting. You know how men are among themselves."
Carlos was all smiles, but his mind raged in fear. He had many reasons to be scared of the other hooded figure in his crew, but most were instinctive, and all his crewmates shared that sentiment. Only the easy-going pilot and husband seemed immune to that chilling presence.
'Of all the doctors they could recommend me,' Carlos cursed in his mind. 'Why did it have to be such a scary woman?'
As a general rule, crews inside spaceships knew never to mess with doctors. They held a privileged role, especially in those environments. Carlos actually had to consider himself lucky for having found one at such a low price.
