He tried to get up again, but all of his body felt like gelatin, and he could just roll around. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Peso creak the door open and peek through.
"¡Caray!" Kwazii heard the penguin exclaim. Sure sounded negative to the pirate cat, and he didn't particularly like any of the following words either, these ones spoken into a radio. "Um... Captain..? We, uh, have a code green. Yep, code green."
Peso gave a timid little squeak, and closed the medbay door. Kwazii didn't miss the click of the lock, which he didn't understand.
Then again his... brain... was... having some... issues at the current...
...moment...

Code green? Shoot. Captain Barnacles had been hoping for a nice quiet night, but apparently fate had other ideas. Shellington should have known to keep his chemicals out of the pirate cat's reach, or at least use the lock on his door if he was playing with risky stuff.
Time to call him then.
"Shellington?" Captain Barnacles said into his microphone. "Hope I'm not interrupting anything, but we have a code green. You should have kept better control of your experiments."
No response.
If Shellington wasn't in the lab, he was probably in Dashi's room, and the two of them were probably watching a movie or something with their headphones off. The Captain hopped onto the Octopod cameras and took a look at Dashi's room.
This camera is disabled, read the captions on screen. Well, he'd have to go there himself then.
Sighing, Barnacles made his way down to the middle level, noting Kwazii wobbling all over the floor, and then over to the Octochute leading to Dashi's room. He hopped in, arrived and hurriedly averted his eyes.
"Whoo. I am so sorry."
Dashi and Shellington reluctantly stopped aggressively making out on the floor. Dashi fixed her skirt and hurriedly pulled her hair back into a high pony, while Shellington picked up her t-shirt and slipped it back over his girlfriend.
"We need a doorbell system," the Captain mumbled apologetically. "Kwazii's on code green. Sorry to bother your little... session... but if it's not too much of an issue..."
"Be right there Captain," sighed Shellington. "Give me ten minutes," he whispered back to Dashi.
"You kidding? I'm coming with you," the photographer replied, checking her appearance was okay in the mirror as she hopped into the Octochute.
"So what appears to be the problem?" Shellington asked as soon as they landed out of the Octochute. "Oh," the scientist realised, seeing Kwazii doing his weird wobbly thing on the floor outside the medbay.
"What were you experimenting with today baby?" Dashi laughs, pulling out her camera from nowhere and taking some pictures for blackmail.
"Um... Catnip..."
"Oh boy," sighed the Captain. "May I ask why?"
"To know what to do when Kwazii eventually found it."
"And have you gotten to the solutions stage?"
"Um... Not quite."
"What do we do?" the Captain asked.
"Simple," laughed Dashi, walking over to Kwazii. "We get Peso to bandage him up and take funny blackmail pictures until he calms down."
"I do what?" Peso asked, timidly poking his head out of the medbay.
"Bandages please, Peso?" Barnacles said, pointing to Kwazii.
"I'm a soooooooooperheroooooooo," Kwazii mumbled as Peso wrapped him up. "And I'm really sleepy now..."
And so Dashi, Shellington, the Captain and Peso spent the next half hour taking ridiculous shots of Kwazii. Within the hour he was demanding they delete all their files, and reluctantly, they did.

"Where were we?" Shellington asked with a sly smile once they were back in the privacy of Dashi's room, with an A4 piece of paper stuck over the Octohatch saying "busy."
"I believe... I was kissing you on the floor..."
"What's this in your pocket?" Shellington asked, reaching in and pulling out a USB.
"You don't think I deleted all the files of Kwazii, did you?"
"You," grinned her boyfriend. "Are evil."
