Sev sighed with relief when the robot didn't peg him. He led the others into a chamber full of paramite webbing and dim lighting. He looked around, but couldn't see anyone else.

Sev:"Yo, robot dude... Did you see anyone else come down here? From what I can tell, this place is dead."

OOC:Sorry in advance, but I'm gonna use more that a couple NPC's right now...

2590 ran down a hallway and froze at the sight of another scrab. The scrab looked at him and howled as he ran over.

Scrab:"Who are you and what do you want from us, outsider?"

2590:"My name isn't important; what's important is that I'm here to get you all out of here. Where's your Alpha Male?"

The other scrab snorted at the remark.

Scrab:"Why free us? We are perfectly fine down here. There is no rain or snow, foolish mudokon workers provide food, and just recently we showed a slig what a pack of scrabs can do to trespassers. We don't need to be freed, so go back to whatever test tube you came from; our leader will not see you."

2590 began to get angry.

2590:"What are you things?!? The scrabs I once knew weren't lazy immature fools! Have you forgotten the rolling meadows and powerful deserts of your youth?"

The other scrab took a step closer.

Scrab:"This place gives us all that we need. Even if we wanted to go, a natural wall blocks us from the outside. Leaving is hopeless and unnecessary."

During this time, several other scrabs had noticed 2590; some siding with him, others siding with the resident scrab. 2590 decided to nip the problem in the bud.

2590:"I have no time for squabbles. Danger approaches and I need to speak to you leader before it comes upon us. Where is h-"

2590 was cut off by a loud bellow. A tall muscular scrab with a variety of scars stepped out from the crowd. He moved in front of 2590 and growled.

Alpha Male:"Excuse this young one, he is foolish. Follow me to my nest and explain what's going on."

The Alpha Male started off in a direction to the east. 2590 looked around for the paramites but failed to see them. He turned to the young scrab and said,

2590:"I have some paramite visitors coming. If you or anyone else lays a claw on any of them, I'll forget about my motives and drench this whole area with enough scrab blood to fill a brew vat."

The scrab snorted and nodded irritably. 2590 nodded and headed towards the Alpha Male's nest to explain the situation.

OOC:Sorry about the long post. T, if the paramites run into the scrabs, you can control them temporarily. Don't worry, they won't murder anyone! :P
