What a drag

Here was a problem, With power sockets some twelve feet across the room, and the machine's cable only four feet long, something must be done.

Whilst Rufus had been farsighted with packing the contents of his 'box of tricks', a mains extension cable hadn't been included. That meant that things must be moved. Two things, in fact, the machine... and Marcus!

Moving the machine was easy after he'd untaped the electrodes. Moving Marcus's deadweight was troublesome. However, Rufus was tough. He lifted the body with difficulty out of the drawer, dropped it on the floor and dragged it across. Sorted!
