OOC: Lol, i hope you don't mind, but i uh.. spaced the words for ya :p

OOC: Bbs600, you can put that in writing like this: 'Max turned into Arnie's direction and greeted him. "How are you... etc." It's easier this way. Just advice.

And, it's dripik. You usually write an 'x' instead of 'k'. :D

Apart from these, your RPGing seems pretty good. Keep it up!

---------------------------------

Rick went to the counter.

Rick: "Hey, RG. Everything fine with the security?"

RG-49: "As you can see, I reactivated the chant suppressors. It is possible that it wasn't you who tried to possess the Boss of Rupture Farms, but from now on, it will be impossible."

Rick: "Yeah, whatever."

He looked at the tray with the Scrab Legs, which reminded him on something.

Rick: "RG, you don't happen to know anything about some sort of food-holding appliance, do you?"

RG-49 looked at Rick.

RG-49: "Food-holding appliance? I have never heard of such a thing. What use would that have?"

Rick: "Well, you know, we always have to hold these Scrab Legs and everything for the Glukkons so they can eat them. I think there should be some sort of simple machine in the Cafeteria which can hold the food instead of the employees."

RG-49: "And, I belive, your job is to do whatever your superiors tell you. Tell me if I'm wrong."

Rick: "You are right, but I have other duties as well. Cleaning the factory, operating levels, hauling crates and so on. And I can't complete those tasks while I'm holding Scrab Legs. That is not effective."

RG-49: "Not effective, you say..."

Rick: "Exactly. And I though we should make that machine."

RG-49: "We? I have experience with machinery, but what can you do to help me?"

Rick: "So you want to help then?"

RG-49: "Hm... OK, maybe in the little free time I'll have.

OOC: Alright! Rick's on to something.....


Sev walked across a catwalk over the scrab pens. He looked down. The place looked dirty and old, not clean like the rest of the factory.

Sev:"Huh. Maybe no one's been here for a while."

At the end of the catwalk was a door. Sev walked over to it and got ready to press the open button, when behind the door a scratching sound started. Sev looked closely at the door.

A claw smashed through and positioned itself under Sev's legs. Before he could react, the claw (Which looked like a scrab's) grabbed him and pulled him through the door. Sev saw a huge mass of scrab nests in the walls before he was knocked out.

ooc:Thanks for the advice dripik i've roleplayed for 3 years amazinly on other fourms its just this fourms roleplays rules,Im not very good with my grammer skills.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

*Max exited the cafteria, and started cheaking the wireing of the boiler.*

Flare:"So boss Whats my job here should i see if the slaves are working or should i patrol the stockyards?"

*He noticed that Max had wondered off*

Flare:"I will go cheack on the slogs sir"

*With that he walked out the door, and went to the Slog Kannals*

ooc: Funny post Splat.
IC:
Dek was suddenly very annoyed with Stivik. He was appearing too smart for Dek's liking, and also was being rather cocky about knowing ohw to handle this, and claiming he knew what to do best.
'Confusing wretch' Dek thought. The flattery was at first welcome, but then he realised it was the sort of suck-up flattery you get when someone wants a raise.
"SAtivik, my good Slig, I know I am the only Vykker here, but you forget, it is unlikely that Ann iwill hurt me if she is 1) so distraught, and 2) Boogie is here. So I think it’s be alright if I remained.” He then took on a more serious tone instead of his previously friendly, I’m-talking-to-a-silly-five-year-old voice “And most importantly, I do not, under any circumstances, trust you here with or without Boogie, but with Anni and carrying a gun. Besides, my prescence and medical expertise will allow me to try and comfort her, while your presence and, no offence intended, blunt and violent expertise, will only upset her more. And you surely agree that the more upset she is, the more dangerous the situation?” Dek was growing tired of the persuasion however, if he couldn’t convince Stivik from this, he’d just give up and do as the Slig said, screw Anni.

Anni wasn't really paying attention to their pointless fight over who'd go out and who'd stay. She rolled her eyes, while shee looked for something she could use. Something sharp. Shee looked on one of the shelves which contained things like papers, medicin and other stuff. She shook her head, and let her eyes slide to the other shelve, where she saw a bunch of knives. Too close to Stivik and Dek. She was about to give up untill she saw a syringe filled with some liquid. She didn't know what it was, but she slowly reached out for it, and hid it in her loincloth. Maybe she could use it, when Dek and Stivik would finally decide who would leave.
She looked a bit at the scrab's direction, who she had almost forgotten.

"Don't worry, I'll get you out..." she thought.

uuhhh, how do I start? Just got back from a trip.

ooc: READ BACK! It won't kill you to read a few posts will it?

Stivik: "Oh, she was more than williing to attack me, twice, in front of others, once with you and once with another slig watching. And I doubt she was feeling great at either time. She's psychotic! I'm not trying to upset her, I'm trying to stop you getting killed. Do you seriously think she wouldn't try?" What was wrong with this vykker?

I will, But anyway how should I start my post?

Well, you can read that in the rules. Bothe for this thread and the main-rules. But you usually start with posting a profile for your character, and most ppl have their characters arrive by train or something.

ooc: I will start. Tell me if I should make it any different.

Slicer:*walks in the door, and has a tie up mud behind him.*
"Hello!" "Hello!" "Anyone present!"*lookes at mud behind him*

Name:Thorn
Age:26
Race:Mudoken
Personality:Very hyper, likes to joke around alot, not at all serious, and fun.
Apperance:dirty, worn out native clothes.
Backround:Nice guy, but has a big problem. He is not the least bit serious. When he was a child, he got in trouble all the time. He was too careless. He still is. He is a fun guy to be around, but if you hang with him to long, your bound to get yourself it lots of trouble, and may end up losing a body part!

Thorn:"Huh!" *lookes around*"Hah!" "HAHAHAHA!!"
Slicer:"I would advise you to keep you mouth shut, or I will rip it off!"
Thorn:"Chill man!" "Uhhhhh, where are we?"
Slicer:We are in Rupture Farms!" "I have come to find a new master, since my old one was...was...story for another day. I kidnapped you so you could accompany me in Rupture Farms."
Thorn:"WHY THE HECK WOULD YOU DO THAT!!" "I don't mind, it's just, why me?
Slicer:"I've been watching you.... you will be perfect to hide my true self!"
Thorn:"Wha?"
Slicer:*take off his hologram mudo garb*"You see?"
Thorn:*trys to cover his eyes, but he remembers that he is tied up*"No.What is wrong with you!!"
Slicer:"Sigh.......................it take most people a while to ajust. You, me work here, I find a new master. Got it?"
Thorn:"Okay. What's my end of the bargain?"
Slicer:"I won't blow your head off!"
Thorn:"OK OK just don't hurt me!
Slicer:"Be forewarned, I will not hesitate to bow you to bits."
"We see eye to eye on this?"
Thorn:"Uuuhhh, I guess."
Slicer:"Good. MWWUUHAAHAHAHAHMMWWUAHAHH!"
Thorn:"Shhhhhh!"
Slicer:"Uuhh, yes. Let us wait here until someone arrives to rederect us."
*put mudo disguise on again*
*Thorn and Slicer wait patiantly*
Thorn:ZZZzzZZZ.......ZZZZzzz
--------------
What do you think?

*Flare entered the room that thorn and slicer where in.*
Flare:" modokens not working?*sighs*,well back when i was in the barracks mudokens that did not work where feed to the slogs!"
*he looked at slicer and then at Thorn*
Flare:"so whys this modoken tied up?,he won't do much work when hes tied up!"
*He untied Thorn and then told him to keep his mouth shut and scrub the floors in the slog pens*
Flare:"You go with him to ill show you to the boss first as he would order slogs to kill un-regestered workers"

Slicer:"Yes sir!"
"We will get to work sir!"
Thorn:"Dude, were are other moudokens?
Are they in the slog pens?"
Slicer:*whispering* "Quiet! I'd rather not piss this guy off."
Slicer:"We are ready to meet the boss or follow orders, sir!"

OOC: Yeah, xx_xx_Odd, that seems fine. You and Bbs600 are doing well. There are some spelling mistakes, but that will certainly improve over time.

---------------------------------

Otto looked around in the Cafeteria.

Otto: "Uh, don't you think we should... do something? We've been sitting here for hours."

Arnie: "Standing, more like. But I agree, we should get back to the Executive Office."

He turned to #7 Slig and the others.

Arnie: "What about you?"

#7 Slig: "I guess I'll check on the train which supposed to bring the grinder parts."

RG-49: "I would like to escort you to the Office, for your safety."

Otto: *sarcastically* "Sure, there might be some aggressive meat barrels on the way."

Rick: "I'll stay here, and..."

He looked around.

Rick: "...clean up, I guess. Then I'll look around in the factory."

Arnie: "All right. Let's go, then."

They went out of the Cafeteria, leaving Rick behind.

*Flare looked at slicer*
Flare:"i like your attitude slave keep it up and you might get a promotion"
*Flare walked to the cafateria and Bumped into the boss.*
Flare:"sir what do you want me to do with these modokens?,i was taking them to the slog kennals but i'd rather you decide what they should do."
*He lokked back at the to workers and then at the Arnie*
Flare:"Also sir before i go do you want me to keep an eye on them?,i know how to keep my workers in order!"
*He was now stareing at his shotgun it had dried blood stains on it.*

Dek was fed up now, and actually starting to see it from Stivik's perspective.
"Oh, very well." He snapped irritably
"But Boogie, I want you to stay here, make sure he doesn't try any funny stuff, and keep your eyes on Anni, but don't scare her. But primarily, make sure neither does anything threatening to each other. If they do, pelase step in as best as you can."
He snatched up his coat, pulled it on, then scurried out, heading for the cafeteria. (He doesn't know Arnie's leaving that area)
~~~~~~~~~~~

Arthur finished dumping one of the pieces of grinder parts down on the station floor, then, sweating and tired, he turned to Floyd
"What now? we've *pant* got the parts out, do we take 'em to the *pant* stockyards, or leave 'em for *pant* someone to pick up?"
He was starving, he'd only had one scrabcake since he had arrived just over 25 hours ago, and had had nothing since. Not the ideal life for him, but still, it was better than at the Barracks.

Thorn:"Sure, I'll work and all, but i'm hungry! Got any grub around here?
Slicer:*Glares at Thorn and starts whispering*"Do you want to get us killed!?
*Looks back at Flare and The Boss*"Sir! We are ready to take orders sir!"
Thorn's Thoughts:"Man, he is really on a roll here!"
Slicer:"We are ready to give are lives for you sir!"
*winks at thorn*
Thorn's thoughts:"What does that mean? Okay I'll play along."
Slicer:"Sir! What is our job sir!"
Thorn:"Yes, sir what is our job du- I mean sir!"

Stivik grinned in the way only sligs can and glanced towards Anni, and then Boogie. He needed to get rid of the other slig. He wouldn't say big bros were his specialty, but he'd work it out. He looked towards the doorway that led to the cell where the scab was being held.
Stivik: "He, you know they've got some giant mutated scrab in here? We found it in the wrecked part of the factory, it was just waking up before you got here I think. It'll be pretty dangerous when it gets to full strength."

He glanced at the open door leading towards the scrab's room. It looked pretty tough.

Anni noticed that Stivik had glanced at her. She rolled her eyes and looked in another direction. She wondered what to do. It couldn't be good if Boogie went away.
Looking at the scrab, she spoke with a calm, almost cold voice: "I don't think the scrab will be able to brake that cage. It's too strong, besides, you could just inject it with another syringe to put it asleep."

She stood up, as she was bored of sitting down, and wondered what to do with the injection she had hidden in her loinclothe. Maybe it wouldn't have any effect at all, but she hoped that it would be some kind of poison.

Stivik: "Uh huh, and do you know which one of these is seditive?" He was getting into these big words now. "Sit down Anni, you're not going anywhere."
he considered locking the door but decided to see how it went with Boogie first, he was beginning to come up with a plan. He paused, trying to remember the names of some of the sligs here.

"Hehe." Anni grinned, although she didn't really find it funny.

She rolled her eyes and went one step closer to Stivik.

"You know, you're probably the most stupid slig I've ever met. I wouldn't have expected that from a slig, hired by the Cartel... So why don't you just leave? I seriously do not know what the hell your mission is here, but well, i think that Arnie's gonna find out soon." she started babeling, and approached him a bit more.

She slowly moved her hand near her loinclothe. Evryything in her her body screamed "do it" to her, but still she was in doubt wether to try doing something or not. She wouldn't be much better than them if she suddenly started throwing injections a people.

Stivik gave her an odd look, "What on Odd are you talking about, Mud? You need to get out of your dreams before someone creeps up on you in the real world." He wasn't going to let her get the last word, he thought carefully about how to phrase this without giving anything away to Boogie. "You think I'm stupid? I'm yet to have an employer or supervisor who would agree with you on that." He moves closer to whisper to her, "Whether its someone from the Cartel or one of my victims."

Had he known that she was hiding the syringe, or if he'd had any ideas of what she was thinking, he wouldn't have let his guard down and he would certainly have stayed in a position where he could bring his gun up to shoot her. However, knowing neither of these things and having a very sliggish view of mudokon intelligence, he was putting himself in a rather dangerous position.


ooc: T-nex, if you choose to attack Stivik its ok, though he might attack Anni, keeping in mind his gun is still loaded with tranquilisers (for putting animals to sleep).

She grinned and hesitated for a short moment. Then she got the srrynge out, and without notice, she pushed it into Stivik's arm, and pressed, whatever it contained into his body.

"I know someone who would rather confirm this suspiscion." She whispered to him, kicked his mechanical legs, and the let out an "ouch!!", because it was metal-leg(O.o)

Then she tempted to get away, so she dashed towards the door, hoping thar Stivik's reaction would be slow.

OOC: Well, you decide what effect it'll have on Stivik. If it's good or bad or if it even has an effect...

OOC: Waah! I haven't posted for ages again. But, I've still got to study, so I'll only post Boogie's part for now. I'll edit this post once I'm done with my homework and stuff...

-IC-

Boogie got into a more active position since Dek left the lab. He didn't listen carefully to the arguements which were going on, instead he observed the cage in which the scrab was locked in. But then he noticed something in the corner of his eye, Stivik was standing very closely to Anni.
Merely a second later she made a run for the door. Apparentely (sp?) she had forgot that Boogie was right next to it.
Boogie stepped in front of the door blocking it. Then he raised his rifle and looked at the mudokon
"Right, so where did you think you were going?"

OOC: Note: Boogie hasn't noticed that Stivik has been injected... just that you'd know;)

Anni let out a hiss, which sounded more like a desperate sob. She hasitated, then though about just ripping the gun out of his hand, then she hesitated again. She let out another sobbing sigh and gave up.
She didn't know what to say to Boogie, so she just stood there, looking at him him like some kind of idiot.

"Oh, can't you just let me go? Pretty please?" she asked.

She knew he would just say no, but it didn't matter much to her. She just looked down, waiting foir whatever would happen next.

OOC:Sorry guys i'm out...

Stivik froze for a second after Anni stabbed him with the needle, apparently out of shock. Then suddenly, seeing her talking to Boogie, he roared in anger and leapt towards her.
Stivik: "You b!tch!!!"
He raised his gun, smacked her with it as hard as he could, raised his gun to do it again and then suddenly staggered and fell to the ground, curled up and began moaning loudly.

She fell down immedietly as Stivik had hit her,because of the shock. She rubbed the area she'd been hit, and then moved her eyes on Stivik. A smile widened on her face. Not because of happiness, but she just felt amused. The smile transformed into a laughter, which sounded rather maniacly. She just rolled on the floor, laughing and couldn't hold back tears.
She knew that this was it. She wouldn't be able to squeeze herself out of this one, so she couldn't see the reason why she wouldn't spend the last few minutes of her life, before she'd probably get punished somehow, laughing. after a bit of time she stopped laughing, and looked at Stivik, she didn't know wether he just fell asleep or what had happened, but suddenly she felt a feeling of regret. She could suddenly see herself in his place, either drugged, or even close to death.
A feel of panick then stroke her. She couldn't believe it. If he was dead, she would be a... Murderer. It felt like her heart just did a back-flip, and shefelt like throwing up. Her hands started shaking.

"What have i done?" she whispered, and some tears fell down her cheek, "Oh what have i done???"

Her voice had changed into a half sob. She began shaking all over her body, and then she closed her eyes.

"This must be a dream, i couldn't possible have injected him." she said and opened her eyes, but he was still there, lying on the floor.

She stood still for a moment. Then remembered that some vykkers had antodotes against tranquilizers, so if it only was a tranquilizer, she could check that out. Her eyes scanned the whole room, and the she ran towards the shelves, throwing evrything down on the floor, in her desperation. She kept looking and looking. When half the room had become a mess, she finally found and anti-dote. She read the writing that was on it:

The scrab stared down the Big Bro Slig as it looked in it's cage. He growled at him and looked around. He had stopped when he saw the female mudokon pulling a syringe out of some place and stabbing the "Stivik". She then ran for the door and was blocked by the Big Bro.

Stivik then beat her on the grond and collapsed groaning. The slig looked around, now may be his chance. He reared back with all his strength and hurled his body at the cage wall.

OOC:It's up to you guys to decide what happens. He could just knock against it, or he could break out. I don't want to interupt the Stivik/Anni thing.

#7 Slig arrived to entry hall from the Cafeteria and went to the door leading to the FeeCo station. He opened the door and saw the docked train, Floyd and Arthur, who was placing a crate on the station's floor. He walked up to them.

#7 Slig: "Hey there. Grinder parts arrived then? Do you need any help?"

----------------------------------

Arnie, Otto and RG-49 were walking to a platform to the upper levels. Arnie looked at RG-49.

Arnie: "What did Rick want from you, by the way?"

RG-49: "The Mudokon organic had an idea for some sort of appliance for the Cafeteria."

Otto joined the discussion.

Otto: "What sort of appliance?"

RG-49: "Well, it sounds like a food-holding mechanism. For Glukkon organics."

They arrived to the platform. They stepped on it, and RG-49 pressed a button on the wall next to it. The platform started to ascend.

Otto: "A machine which holds the food for us? You're not telling me the Mudokons don't have time for that, they are just fooling around all day!"

RG-49: "They have more important duties, mind you."

Arnie watched the metal panes covering the walls absent-mindedly as they passed by, and he turned to the others.

Arnie: "That doesn't sound too bad. And he asked for your help, I presume?"

RG-49: "Affirmative, Boss."

Stivik was curled up on the ground, moaning quietly, apparently unconcious. For a few seconds after Anni injected him for a second time, nothing happened. Then his eyes opened a little. He lay still for a few seconds, and then screamed in agony and began writhing on the floor, screaming rather rude things at the top of his lungs.
Finally he began to slow down and seemed to drift into unconsciousness again.

The fact that the huge scrab chose that moment to break open the door of its cell put the immobilised slig in a notably dangerous position.

"Oh this aint happening, this aint happening!!" Anni cried, and then looked at the scrab, who had just gotten free.

She grunted panickingly. She didn't know what to do now. She could go and find Dek and drag him back, but she didn't know what the scrab would do. Then she colapsed on the floor, and started crying aloud. She really didn't know what to do now, and she had a half-dead slig beside her. She shook her head, got up and ran away from the lab, hoping that Boogie would take care of the scrab. No kill it of course. Then she desperatly looked around for Dek. He'd probably know how to heal Stivik.

"I'll never be able to forgive myself..." she muttered.

The first place too look, was the Cafeteria. She was sure that Dek would look there, since there was usually somebody there. But she saw him on the way tho the cafeteria. She took a deep breath, and then continued to run towards him. Then she grabbed on of his hands and ran back to the labs, while crying: "Oh please come!! I injected Stivik with something, and now he's unconscious!!"

She kept sobbing and crying while she was running.

"No way!" Boogie exclamed when the cage shattered open "Yea, like I didn't see that one coming."

Boogie let Anni run past him.
"She'd better be looking for help." He hoped,
"I can't stop her now... Stivik's in check."

Boogie lined his rifle up to the scrabs head.
"Don't make a move or I'll be forced to immobilize you in an unpleasant way, weird mutant thingie." He said, slowly walking up to Stivik and dragging him back.
~~~~~~

Jim: "Hey, look Scruben, it's not the Glukkons that i mind so much, unless they're in a bad mood or I've done something wrong, but the sligs... Alright, I'm sligo-phobic. One look at the things and I'm a nervous wreck. Childhood memories or something.

"Well... that must be véry annoying..."

The point is, anywhere that sligs aren't is fine with me. The last thing I want is the boss deciding we need a slig escort or something.

"Yeah, I can get that. I'm sorry for ye."

don't worry, we'll find a way upstairs."

"Alrightee." Scruben said as he got dragged away. Again.
~~~~~~

Floyd smiled as #7 slig got in.
"Yeah, we can use some help. This cart has all of the neccesary grinder parts. And over there, there is a pile of crates with all kinds of living critters. Probably for food."

The red light on the wall suddenly flashed on again.
"Oh! Yea, ofcourse. I've checked the manual train breaks on the track, and they seem to work fine. Also, this light flashes on when a train leaves. Just in case you didn't know yet.

Anyway, this cart needs to go to the grinding area. But, what will happen to those critters?"

OOC: Hmm, I've got a full week without school. My prayers were finally heard...:p

The scrab stopped in from of Boogie. It roared in his face and stepped back. This would be a problem...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sev crawled out of a grate. He was covered in blood and was breathing deeply. underneath his mask was a blank and horrified stare. He coughed and sat down on the ground. He shuddered remembering all the scrabs, all of them trying to tear off his limbs. He looked around and couldn't stop seeing them, bursting out of pipes, the cieling, and the floor. He fell down on the ground yelling, "GET THEM AWAY!!!! FOR THE LOVE OF ODD, GET THEM AWAY!!!!!

Dek was at the cafeteria door, and was just about to go in when he suddenly felt one of his arms seized by a mudokon hand.
The next thing he knew he was being dragged away with Anni yelling in his ears about injecting Stivik with a syringe and Stivik being unconscious.
Rather than stopping the mudokon and knocking some sense into her, he scuttled back as fast as he could, coming up to the doorway to find Boogie aiming a gun at the Scrab, which had somehow escaped, and Stivik unconscious amid a pile of medical equipment that seemed to have been randomly pulled down.

He turned sharply to Anni "What did you inject him with!? What was it called, what did it say, tell me!" He realised he was so agitated he had been shaking her by the shoulders, then stopped, took a deep breath and waited for her answer.
~~~~~~~~

Arthur sighed and turned to #7 Slig
"Hi number guy. Yeah, we could do with a bit of help with this, cause the two of us can hardly take a cart full of grinder parts to the other side of the factory by ourselves eh."
He paused, wiped some sweat of his forehead and then guessed at the answer to Floyd's question
"I'd guess the animals go to the stockyards or grinding bays, right?"

OOC: 16th page of the W@RF comic is ready...

------------------------------

#7 Slig: "Yeah, grinder parts to the Grinding Station, animals to Stockyards... I guess. I'll call for help, then."

He went to the nearby communication console and pressed a button.

#7 Slig: "Hey, some help is needed at the FeeCo Station. All available workers, please assist."

He pressed the button again, turning the phone off.

------------------------------

Rick was sitting at the counter in the Cafeteria, eating a Scrab Leg and thinking about his idea of the food-holding device. Then he heard #7 Slig's announcement.

Rick's Thoughts: "Might as well go and help... I'll clean later."

He finished his Scrab Leg on his way out from the Cafeteria.

Anni still panicking, she tried to get out some words, but instead only sobbing came out. Then she tried to relax.

"I-i-i don't know... I didn't really care,but the syringe ig still in him-..... I don't know what it was, but i tried with a sleepy-antidote, which didn't work." She said.

Then more cries and tears came out. She was trembling, with fear and self-hatred. She feæt like it wasn't worth lving anymore. Not after this.

"Oh please help him! Please!!! I can't take it." she screamed.

Sev was curled up on the ground when he heard the loudspeaker announcement. He looked around to see if the hallucinations were still there. He breathed a sigh of relief as he got up and walked towards the train. He saw a couple of mudokons and #7 standing near the train. Sev walked up to them.

Sev:"Hey guys, need help?"

Sev then winced and grabbed a scrab bite on his shoulder.

Sev's thoughts: *Ow! Man, I should've remembered that! Better wash off after this...*

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The scrab growled at the "Boogie" creature and looked apst him to see the Vykker and Anni. They seemed to be talking about the "Stivik" creature and how the injected liquid was bad for him. The scrab turned to Stivik and saw him on the ground. The scrab muttered, "Poor fool." and then turned back to continue the standoff with Boogie.

Being unconscious, Stivik was totally oblivious to the impending doom he was about to face.

Meanwhile, Jim was more than aware that he was totally lost. He managed to find some very shallow iron stairs and was carefully guiding Scruben up them. He reached the top and found himself at the beginning of a long walkway that seemed, from his view, to lead high above a large machine that was apparently switched off. He stepped out of the walkway and found himself staring at a very elaborate meat-grinder. A long way below he could see large heaps of scrap metal.
Jim: "It's a good job I'm not afraid of hights as well. We're on a walkway above some huge meat grinder. It's turned off for some reason though. Looks pretty dangerous down there."

Being at a rather awkward angle and having the machanical knowledge of a half-brick, he didn't recognise the fact that the machine was broken and large portions of it were lying in heaps around the room.
What Jim did recognise was the slig and mudokon walking down below.
Jim: "Oh, Odd, there's a slig down there, lets just get going before I freeze up or something."
He hurried across the walkway, dragging Scruben along behind him. Unfortunately the walkway chose that moment to accept the fact that several of its supports had been broken when pieces of grinder had thrown themselves everywhere, and jerked sharply. With his free hand he grabbed onto the safety rail. Years of experience guiding blind mudokons around were enough to stop him letting go of Scruben's hand.

Arnie, Otto and RG-49 arrived to the upper levels. They walked to the Executive Office quietly. They went inside.

Otto: "We haven't been here much recently. We placed work aside a bit, don't you think?"

Arnie: "Yes, that's right."

Arnie looked around in the office. There were four desks in the middle, each equipped with a computer-like phone and a lamp. The large screen on the wall showed different production charts and stock information. There were some old product posters on the opposite wall.

Arnie: "I'll have a look at the CompPhone, maybe we have messages."

Otto: "You do that."

Otto turned around and went to the large screen and watched the charts. Arnie went to his desk and sat down.

RG-49: "Can I assist, Boss of Rupture Farms?"

Arnie: "No, thanks, RG. These computers have voice controll."

He turned to the computer and cleared his throat.

Arnie: "OK, now... Turn on, and check incoming messages."

The computer processed data a little, then showed the messages on the screen.

Arnie: "Let's see... It says that a load of animals have arrived today with a FeeCo train."

RG-49: "That's right, Boss."

He was looking at the small screen on his left arm, showing the FeeCo Station.

Arnie: "OK, then... And the grinder parts have arrived with this train, too."

RG-49: "Right again, Boss."

He saw the grinder parts placed near the FeeCo train.
